If you spend more time on Jabber than logged in, you might be a Blueneck.

Opps, wrong thread, sorry.


If you refer to anyone who speaks critically of nullsec as though they were a highsec carebear... you might be a blueneck.

I thought only bluenecks think of nullsec as safe. Unless you're a TEST blueneck...

This thread is entertaining.

You see this is how bad the arbitrary fatal funnel of gates and bubble camps are. Let ships dial in system to system warp like they do in the usual sci-fi genre and there will be a breakout of game play never before imagined in this game.

If you collect rent from sheeple and giggle amongst your buds that it's the best protection racket ever... you're not only a blueneck, but you're probably thinking you've just "won EVE" and then realized "awwww, shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit, we shoulda thought of this years ago."

That you think eliminating the one mechanic that creates most of the fights in this game (gates ie 'choke points' that let people find other spaceships among the trillions of kilometers of space a solar system has) is incredible.

Ever notice how most of the activity in the game is not in nullsec?

Gate camping actually replaced with hunting. What's wrong with that?

One of the flaws with Eve is that it was never chaotic enough for once someone's ISK or stats depend on something, they never want it to change.

I can see why null sec is said to be boring. Don't quit your day jobs, guys.

If you think "biggest is always best" when it comes to spaceships... yoouuu might be a blueneck.

If you camp a system for THREE YEARS just to try to catch a Titan... yooouuu most certainly are a blueneck.

If you work at CCP and post on the forums... yoouu just might be a bluebar.

If you regard that portion of EVE where frightened carebears rely on intel channels to keep them alive and warp to a POS the second anybody unfamiliar pops up in the next region over's intel as anything but safe, yooooooooou might be a standard EVE nullbear.

Who cares about 'activity', most of the killing of actually valuable ships has been and is in Nullsec (unlike high sec, the last time CCP told us anything about high sec, the most destroyed ship there was the CONDOR lol).

This makes zero sense. We're talking about your nonsensical and unworkable idea that letting people "warp" to systems like this is some kind of Star Trek knockoff and how it's never been a good idea.

EVE works because despite it being a space game, people can find each other very easily because. This is primarily because of gates (where most ever combat occurs) and secondarily because of fixed (stations, planets) or easily accessible points in space (like anomalies in null sec or the various beacons/complexes in faction warfare).

Your idea would gut the EVE economy because it would make avoiding fights even easier than it is now (and it's way too easy now). You've been saying this for years but you've never thought the idea through to it's most obvious conclusions.

Let's do this SG-1 style --------/\ Supergate = Player-made Stargates anyone???Lol

Anyways....

If you JC out of Nullsec to Low for a day of non-blop/quality PvP, then you might be a Blueneck.

If you realize that you're making less ISK than the guy in a Venture mining Veldspar in a Noobsystem, then you might be a Blueneck.

You're definitely a Blueneck if you blame everyone else for your boredom.

"If you write an article on mittani.com crying about 'Nullsec stagnation and other things' after you helped make that stagnation.....You might be a blueneck."

Some decent ideas, but 'titan bridge accuracy'? Seriously?

The bridge accuracy idea has potential, but only if you expand upon it. For example, allow it to drop people into systems within X (let's say 3) jumps of the intended system, as opposed to being nothing more than creating another "warp to FC at 10" step.

You might be a blueneck if you constantly complain about "risk-averse highsec pubbies" but an unscannable neutral in local keeps you docked for several days.

I just undocked for the first time and someone challenged me to a duel. Wat do?
