EVE General Discussion

What do you all think of null?

Does it matter what we think? I left null because it's dull, boring, and stale. Like a year old rice cake. Nothing has changed since then, with the exception of the dust up in Providence/Catch.

Regardless of our opinions on the matter, the situation will not change in the short term. I know CCP Seagull has stated there are ambiguous plans to make changes to nullsec "before the end of the year" (hint, that's rapidly approaching there sports fans), but unless those changes are drastic in nature, we'll still be humming the same tune come January 1.

But it's a sandbox. we have the content creation going on. so many fights in catch/querious/delve.

Getting fights every day, dun care of the map.

I try not to.

What people forget is that SOV before Dominion sucked even more than it does now. The POS grind was beyond insane, it's a cake walk now in comparison.

What changed was the reasons for fighting: The relative value of null sec vs the rest of EVE-space. Sure, null systems are potentially more valuable now than before Dominion's upgrade system, but relative to high end wormholes and faction warfare pve not to mention high sec activities like incursions and how easy ships like Marauders have made high sec pvp, null is many times less valuable to the high SP pve farmer that it was pre-Dominion. Those 'farmers' were important to the grand scheme of null sec life

People endured the insane pos grinding because at the end of is was useable space with moons and pve content and belt rats that could be used by the alliance to get the funds for other things (i remember when my old corp had to pay 'alliance tax'). Now moon goo is bound to a political system, null pve is something done by renters, ninjas and coalition grunts to stupid to roll a faction warfare bomber alt or buy an incursion runner alt and the SOV system is perceived to be oppressive when the system it replaced was many times MORE oppressive.

It's not the value of null that might be the issue, it's the fact that bears are in control of it.

Looks more like a croissant and a maple bar than a doughnut.

Death to all supers.

Fights for the sake of fights are still very much a thing. Killboards can easily verify this. It's not about that, because we already have that.
This thread is specifically pointing at the fact that sov isn't changing hands. Since that's the case, even though fights are still going, it tells me that the problem is with the sov mechanics as well, not just the players. Regardless of how much time we may invest into this game, it's still just that, a game. Popping ihubs with siege bombers is no one's idea of a good time. Dropping supers for it would be ridiculous, considering what I already said, about the coming sov changes being little more than rumor.
I don't know about you, but I am not cool with the idea of putting hundreds of billions of ISK in alliance assets at risk, to tool with a system that might be completely different in a few months.
