one of biggest appeals of this game was originally the cut throat universe, exploiting everything to your advantage and taking any little chance to stab your enemy in the back and take his land. What you're asking for is a complete change of mentality of the game, where people are responsible to make it fair all of the sudden because mechanics lead them into a dead end.
That wouldn't be eve-like anymore, I wonder who would want to play this for any longer time once CCP refuses to fix their game and bring back a dark cut throat universe upon players.


CCP has already changed sov mechanics once, to something arguably worse than the previous arrangement. Why not do it again? I mean it's perfectly ok for everyone else to demand a change to game mechanics when it suits them.

The proposal is: "Give us more valuable specific income and we'll let others have 0.0 space"
The reality, if the proposal is accepted by CCP, will likely be: "Thank you for the more valuable systems, we can now increase rent"

The solution should be occupancy based sov with no increase in specific income of 0.0 systems.



Rental empires will become impossible to do with this change. Also, moon goo generates around the same per month as a single ice miner. If you do not shift from anoms to something that will allow an infinite group of people to live in a system then not a single alliance will be able to support their members with their space.

Seriously, this is something like the tenth time you have had this explained to you and you still continue with this fabrication.

Rental empires will be easy for you to enforce with conventional fleets. First, the renters will be the most active players in the systems - so keeping de facto sov will be really easy. Second, when somebody does make a serious push for the rental space, your conventional fleets will show up to kick them out.

And now you'll be able to rat afk in your home systems with less risk than a high sec mission running care bear.

There's still no reason to increase the specific income of null sec systems.

Individual player income is more important than alliance level income & currently that player level income is less than what is available in highsec.

Also no, under the proposed change there will be more people roaming around nullsec looking for kills than ever.

Muhaha! This suggestion was all about cowardice! The new dev blog is out with the jump changes and it's clear that you can't travel fast further than a region. So if PASTA attacks Delve and BL attacks Branch, Goons can sloooowly travel to one, but in the other place LAWN or FCON will have to fend for itself. And Goons won't be home till next day, so MoA will burn Deklein in the meantime.

You knew about it from your CSMs, so you figured out that you just pack all your coalition into one region so you can defend it from small groups.

You didn't care that you'd destroy the game and remove all combat. Shame on you!

Last post from me here, I have ISK to make, the pirate groups will use it well after the jump nerfs are up. See you in Branch chickens!


I was going to mention that the nerfs that are coming to jumping will negate some of the claims of quickly rolling over some smaller entity...
however, prior knowledge of the changes via CSM candidates equate to a breach of the NDA doesn't it?, especially if the supposition of prior knowledge precipitated this "joint" deal announcement as a way to appear more in tune with what's needed is correct.

just saying... and good call.

So his "you knew about it from your CSMs" is validated? It's all tinfoil hattery. And while the force projection changes will make it harder to move about (but not much, interceptors can get you across the map in 15-20 minutes and we have ships stashed everywhere) it will also mean the chances of us being attacked in out deepest sov is slim, since nobody is likely to slowboat through hostile space, and multiple jumping into hostile space will leave you trapped there for a significant time.

i know that some of you may not understand these things but our CSM guys aren't stupid enough to violate the NDA because it's an actual binding agreement between them and CCP

there are actual consequences for violating it and even if CCP doesn't pursue legal action, you really wouldn't want a potential employer to google your name and see "NDA breach" in the top results

I imagine whatever change is made, the options for moving into nullsec will always be:
1. Pay someone to live there
2. Blue someone to live there
3. Get roflstomped by the existing coalitions

For those going "but provi but provi!", that's number 2, they just extend blue to cover grey so you are "blue" until you get added to the absolutely enormous list of reds..

I said his statement was plausible... the rest of it was an example of why berating someone isn't the best thing to do.
as to the force projection thing, it is true that these changes are going to force people to approach things in a different manner than is currently done.

With a change to occupancy sov no we wont. We replace rental empire income with taxing our own members running missions in our own space. Thats the whole point of having a bottom up income stream for allainces, it is much better for the line members and gives them a reason to want to live in the empire the fight to build and protect.

We'll see. Nothing has been revealed by CCP suggests that defending your rental empire will be difficult at all.

It's pretty hilarious that you expect people to think the Goon elected CSM representatives don't leak inside information to their boss. Pure comedy.

Given that it would be very easy for CCP to figure this out and dump them out of the CSM staining their RL name forever with an NDA violation, yes, its rather easy to see why they don't tell alliances anything.
