EVE General Discussion

This as well as not wanting to be just another nameless cog in the big "machine".

Maybe I was a bit negative in my previous post, and didn't mention that another reason not to want to make this move again is the abundance of healthy alternatives. Lowsec has been massively buffed over the last few years in terns of income probability and right now, I can wholeheartedly say I can make more ISK/Hr in lowsec then I can in nullsec (with my SP which is mainly PVP oriented anyway).

Isn't it crafty how CCP tried to cover many playstyles in their MMO? Carebear, roguelike, conquest... it's up to you how you play. I enjoy video games and I might go as far as to call myself a hardcore gamer, but I don't have any incentive to set alarm clocks for a video game. It's fine to leave nullsec to the empire builders that have the time, you don't have to get involved in any of that.

I apologize if any previous comments sounded hostile on a personal level. I recently had a conversation with a corpmate about emergent gameplay, and how it was cool our insignificant corporation almost reached it's 2nd birthday and was still content setting the tone in a lowsec area. It warms my heart to see a group of people sharing their knowledge and most of all, a common philosophy and respect for one another. We've been in nullsec together and hated it. Part of our hostility towards null entities is off course based on their meddling in lowsec (aka claiming all profitable moons, every attemt to go past RF = titan drop) in predictable fashion, but also a difference in philosophy and chances to commit time (the latter I blame mostly on CCP, not the sov owners).

I'd also like to stress that getting involved in politics is a matter of opening your mouth on Teamspeak. This has no bearing on what type of space your group enjoys, but your willingness to interact and your actual social skills.

Name & Shame please!

Was it Smegnet Corp ?

"So what's keeping you from moving to Null Sec "

Clone costs & gates suck

Having lived in nullsec for a good old period of time, i can confirm the below factors as being the biggest annoyance.



I'd also add ranting power-mad losers to the mix, and terrible Fleet commanders, but then that's likely just my experience.

Though the blue doughnut didn't exist back then to the extent it does now. Can't see any reason why highsecers wouldn't want to get in on the easy-street, assuming they can deal with the above.

And .... the great content destroyers have spoken.

lack of market activity going on down there

So don't be a nameless cog.

I wonder how many of the rental corps actually have lower tax rates on ratting than the one I pay for the mittani's spacesocalistregime

An alt of mine, quietly and discreetly going about his solo existence, he like me is a very shy guy :), had a chance meeting/quick chat with some Peep in local he met whilst hunting Mordu and was invited to his "renter corp`s public chat".

Right from the off the impression I had was that I was in the company of some decent folk, chat was ncie, entertaining and quite chillaxed, quite unlike the NPC corp chats I thought was the norm. Next day (had kept the chat active) I was, after a chit-chat, invited to the renter corp by a Peep I had not yet met and though I was immediately nervous of him as he was a Gewn for heavens sake! he was affable courteous and most importantly (to me) respectful.

Now my alt lives in null, a whole new world for me and one that does highlight my own deficiencies as a former solo and still noob player, yet I get both great advice and support from my corp, now I can get on "comms" (had never ever used a mic previously in a game and am anything other than a great conversationalist) and know that Peeps are there for me, through their teachings I am learning to make enough isk to further my own enjoyment and am also learning to be self sufficient in doing so, no more bulk plex orders here.
Regarding PvP I have so so much to learn it is actually quite embarrassing but again I now have Peeps that will both involve me and even indulge me yet other than gentle banter and things that have to be said don't ridicule me for my short comings.



Life is good there and I am starting to enjoy it so very much, a whole new Eve even, my honest and genuine advice to amybody thinking about taking the plunge in going to null would be to jump in and get stuck in, there is, unfortunately a heck of a lot of misinformation on these boards but unless you actually get out there and experience Null life for yourself you will for ever be in the dark.
