EVE General Discussion

Income from drops is tied to how kind the RNG is to you and isn't a good measure of the income potential in an area of space for the average occupant. The fact is that people can make as much or more isk using a single pilot in a fancy pirate BS doing incursions as they can using that same setup grinding anoms in sov null.

lol this is 100% true, I just used pirate BS as an example since you can use that for earning isk in null.

Also, looking at his corp history he was in null not only before the anom income nerfs but also before the latest plex loot nerfs. Nothing like basing an argument on data that is 2.5 years out of date.

The easiest way to apply a quick fix to nullsec would be nerfing highsec. Remove station slots from NPC corp members, reduce the amount of highsec slots to the same amount available to unupgraded outposts, and only allow station slot access to people who have offices there. The rest of highsec production/research can be switched to POS. That would make production/research more viable for nullsec and can be scaled so production is worth doing in lowsec.

It also adds content to highsec as wardecs will be more significant because there are assets people can threaten/defend.

Fun fact, you do understand that N3 hold nearly 50% more regions than the CFC....in fact they hold more between them and their renters than CFC, DTF, Stainwagon and CVA combined.....literally half of the SOV regions in the game.

...but yeah they are going to get stomped, however, I wouldn't put money on a CFC homogeny, as usual there will be a power vacuum and the perhaps someone else can form up and fight for a new region. Everything moves around and the corps from the defeated alliance(s) will either reform or megre with others.


....and **** grinding 18 regions, hell no.

But there's so many features that need to be finished..... POS, overview settings, war decs, sov system, FW system, WiS, Dust, etc.... It's just what CCP does best; build up lots of hype over a new feature, then release that feature half-finished and then never finish it.

Bad idea.

All it would do would increase the cost of ships and mods, which would decrease the amount of pew-pew and PvP in general. Not good.

Null sec income is fine. The problem (for people with only combat skills like me -2 chars here, main and falcon-) comes when you have to attend to ops all day everyday. Pressing F1 and clicking pap links is all what i did when i was in sov warfare. I believe i lost a few brain cells but now i'm ok. I still live in null but in npc regions, for obvious docking reasons (repairs, buy nanite paste, sell stuff... etc).

I didn't need to attack hi seccers, i didn't whine in forums. I right clicked on my name and selected the "leave corp" option to feel free again. Also, it is possible to live alone in EVE. Just me with my imagination and the stars. I don't need to go everywhere in company like a girl with her friends to the bathroom.

I am a man with his own little corp that enjoys playing EVE and i have no complaints. You could say i'm a happy customer.

This is exactly what I am talking about, its perfectly okay to nerf nullsec and leave it in terrible shambles but, any attempt to bring highsec in line is resisted with huge tantrums.

Not a clue, I certainly wouldn't do it. Maybe if I brought up my gun collection and my affections for family members I would understand.

So you are for power creep then, ~buff null don't nerf high~. EVE lore should have no place in game balance and instead should be crafted around the game design. For example if we apply ~EVE lore should make sense~ then there should be no missions or pirates in highsec as CONCORD would have all that handled themselves.

E: The other argument ~newbees will see prices and despair~ this is the same argument that was raised against the ice changed and it didn't happen. It won't happen this time either. The people that get the short end of the stick are the NPC corp members, as they should, they enjoy the most safety so they should have the least reward potential.
