Just imagine playing a game of risk with sov. When you don't have to defend your space because you have so everyone idles. If there was no sov. People would be forced to defend or close their space.I like the idea of null having no rules. This would change the stalemate!

Yes, for Bob's sake.

And, while we are at it, remove bubbles from the game as well, or make interdiction nullifier a low-slot module with penalties similar to a warp core stab.

... Whah?....

I don't.... No... Just stop... Stay on topic or GTFO. If you want to drop half-baked ideas that've been recycled for years do it in your own thread so it can be locked for redundancy like everyone else.

Are you a forum alt? Have you ever wondered why your experience on the forums is always so frustrating and unrewarding? This may help.

An argument can be fairly made that sov could have been intended to reward effort.
Specifically, the effort to take and claim space.

Please note I did not include hold space there, just take and claim it.

Sov appears to have given great leverage, and resulting stability, towards being able to hold space.
It is more difficult to claim space than to defend it, as a result of the details.

Stability in a game, giving past efforts an entrenched position against future ones, seems an awkward way to promote change and dynamic play.

Hell yeah!


Turn all renter space to NPC, if not all of sov null.

Protect me from knowing what I don't need to know. Protect me from even knowing that there are things to know that I don't know. Protect me from knowing that I decided not to know about the things that I decided not to know about. Amen.

Remove SOV, it's so freaking boring

DO IT

I just figure there will be so many ideas on how to "fix" something that can't really be fixed, that CCP will just end up picking something that gets gamed again by the blocs.

Just clean the slate for a year or two and see what happens. Could be just the enema the game needs, flushing out all the old bitter vets, and allowing a sort of reset to happen by living where you want and can control each day etc.

While this goes on, CCP and all the smart players can start adding small mechanics to build back a light SOV option thats not so cumbersome etc.

OP has a great idea. I hope CCP does it. It would save them a lot of dev hours that they can use on other things.

+1 for days and days and days.

CCP, do it. You are dumb if you don't.

Every visit to 0.0 resulted in massive blobs, 70 jump roams finding nothing but a 50 man gate camp and swift death, pointless structure bashing, anomaly farming...............zzzzzzzzzzzzzz Ugh

Null Sec is the worst part of the EVE universe.

I'll stick to faction warfare until null sec becomes the antithesis of what it is now.


....If CCP used any sense....Null Sec could be SO MUCH FUN.....alas they do not.

Totally agree that removing SOV is the way forward.

EVE: Online's main selling point is that it's a giant sandbox, but there are all these arbitrary rules and constraints in nullsec... it has never made sense. It needs to go.

Let me build whatever I want, wherever I want. Then let anybody else come along and destroy it... if they can Pirate

Best idea to come along in a long time. Also, add a few more nullsec and lowsec regions.

Let's talk fluff wise... everyone in the game are immortals, hence killing people is pointless.

CCP look at the idea and make null sec fun and interesting again!!

This is an awesome idea, +1

CCP needs to go out on a limb, take a risk, if they want this game to survive, and this is the perfect way to do it.

However, I would have it so that player owned stations remain that way, and docking rights can be decided by the owner.
