EVE General Discussion

I'm not Dinsdale. Your rant does not apply to me.

After the next expansion, which gives NS the profit advantage in all aspects of the game, focus will increase on Sov and security in NS.

Check the pilots in space metric.
A system with zero pilots in is unlikely to have many blow up.

First of all Oracle at Delphi Ripard is never right. Secondly, nullsec should have the highest profit potential because it has the highest risk according to the game rules.

Isn't everything already better in Null-Sec?

What's not?

I didn't say "developed countries," I said stable countries; you seem to be assuming a meaning and imagining words that I didn't write. When was the last time someone tried invading Mexico? China is far from lawless. Equating these countries to null is the wrong analogy; nullsec is more akin to certain countries and regions in the world which are plagued with constant war and strife, while political leadership frequently changes hands and the laws shift to suit the whim of whoever is in charge and peace lasts only as long as it can be enforced by strength of arms. How many manufacturing jobs are exported to these lands? How many businesses choose these countries as a good location to set up shop? Some will take the risk specifically because of the chance for a high profit, but when the local warlord can waltz in at any time and claim your assets as his own, it makes business opportunities less attractive for most companies.

So again, I stand by my point: stable governments provide the best environment for business and industry. Why should EVE be different? Less stable regions should offer the opportunity for a large profit, but only for those with the strength, skill, or luck to overcome the risks and hazards of such areas.



That sort of wartime development occurs out of necessity, not because it is cost effective or a good business environment. Yes, the level of technology often jumps ahead during wars, but it doesn't mean they're making loads of money off of it. What exactly was the profit margin on those panzers?

I get that, but it is the players who have made it safe. If you strip away all the players, clear the board so to speak, and look at the game rules, clearly nullsec has the highest degree of risk. That players have taken on that risk to conquer that space and continue the upkeep on it should not negatively affect the rewards available.

What a lot of people don't get is that High Sec is actually almost completely safe, hisec residents did nothing to earn that and continue to do nothing to keep it other than demanding it be made safer.

I say no. null sec is only one type of play in eve. There are some things that should be better. but not everything. There are things that either don't exist in null sec or that are lessened in null sec in favor of other areas of play.

Wannabe highsec systems. *smug*

normally I'd just like the post, but this really is it in a nutshell.

I'd also add, that I can and have missioned and ran ded 4s,, "safely", whilst at war with marmite and 10 other wardec specialists at the same time. ie the survival skills that are applied to making nullsec safe, actually also make highsec safe.

That's just not true. Zero effort intelligence is a bad thing in ALL of it's forms. If local is removed, then npckill data should also be removed. Personally, I would like both of these things to happen.
