Warfare & Tactics

So, it seems N3 are in a bit of a sticky situation.

Do they need saving?

And will any step up to the mark to save them?

All the current news, articles, speculations etc point to this being the end.

Will there be some last minute saving armada, diving in the fray and attacking and bringing N3 the much deserved salvation they need after fighting for so long and hard.

Will they become another name, another Band of Brothers, never forgotten but seemingly never to rise and fight again.

Nulli, you're in a sticky situation. I cannot wait to see how this all unravels.

Is the end nigh? Or will they live to fight another day, fighting once more to purge the galaxy of the CFC infestation that has arisen.

Eve is a video game. In my experience the number of people that want the warm fuzzies of winning greatly outnumber those who want to face a true challenge. And even in the case of the latter - most people won't struggle six months to a year for a game. You are NOT going to see people rush to the rescue in Eve. You WILL see people dog-piling onto the losing team though.

On top of that, dullsec has serious and well-documented issues. Risk vs. Reward. Supercaps online. Power projection that is too easy. And on and on and on.

Lastly, dullsec isn't for everyone. You will spend hours in fleets while the FC's and commanders maneuver. While massive battles are a draw, if you have any kind of life outside of Eve - 4-8 hour operations are going to drive you insane. I like low sec because if real life intrudes I can get off rather quickly.

CAOD is that way --->

I care not for your 0.0 nonsense

Stuff = isk. If you cant use your stuff - even for a limited amount of time - you must buy new stuff, and that takes isk. Im not completely up on the mechanics, but they claimed the station would be transferred to a holding corp that would allow docking rights to zero people. Spymasters need not apply. The one chance they will have to remove stuff would be for everyone to use a jump clone and attempt a mass breakout all at once. But whatever you cant fly out on that single trip will be stuck in station until it is recaptured by someone else (that is friendly to N3)

And to be clear - I dont think there is a problem with stations being captured or stuff ransomed, etc. I was just speaking about logistical needs in general. Its really unique to EVE and is part of what makes it so cool. But it is also a giant pain in the ass. I dont have trouble with it for other people. I just dont like it for myself. :)

this is for global Eve Online economy


this is for regular player

There is no conflicts here

Some adolescents who need help shaving, apparently.

Nah you just need to remove cloaking, it'll solve all the problems null ever had.

srs

Seems somewhat like the thread has derailed into a CCP Conspiracy theory. I like it.


Anyway: Attempted Breakout - Failed.

oh and can someone pass me a foil hat?

One time bump to fix forum.

I have plenty of tinfoil already. I don't need more thank you.

Regardless, their breakout failed. Isk trapped. Ships effectively destroyed (at least for the time being). All due to N3 getting head faked. It's their fault. All I was saying is the amount of logistics involved in these things is staggering. I've been involved in two similar situations in null (on the receiving end). As I said in my later post, I don't have a problem with the mechanic, per se. I just choose not to participate in such things anymore because it bores me to tears. I never said it was CCPs fault. But they do benefit greatly from the mechanic. I don't blame them for doing so.

It'd be nice to know how much Isk was trapped so we could compare it to the actual big battles. I don't suspect N3 will be disclosing that though.
