EVE General Discussion

Perhaps you could start a thread to explain this to all the nullbears looking for welfare? They seem to think they are underpaid and unappreciated.

The problem would be ofcourse, how you would determine the sec status. Quick thinking about this:

Nullsec sec status would slowly rise in systems where people rat a lot, and no pod kills happen. That would force ratters to move a bit every now and then. Because the majority of nullsec is mostly quiet, the sec status would drop down slowly due to pirate faction presence. That would actually buff nullsec in terms of single pilot income, and considering that majority of normal null 'grunts' don't even have any idea about moon goo and how much isk flows through it, it wouldn't necessarily be bad thing. It would ofcourse also mean that people would have to spread their ratting, and would be more vulnerable to PVP there. And ofcourse if there's a system which has lot of ratters, and constant player brawls, the truesec would remain low for those who want to risk it (a little bit more thinking needed for this, since no-one would go rat there as there would be so much low truesec everywhere).

Highsec status would have to be affected by a number of things. Considering kills, the data is already there to see the average pilots and pod kills per last 24h, so for example Jita wouldn't lose its sec status since there's so much people there, and only that much kills. (Rough example would be avg pilots / kills = sec status change, so assume Jita 1500 pilots, and 200 kills makes 1500/200 = 7.5, compared to Uitra at the moment, 82 pilots / 285 kills = ~0.28. Should ofcourse be real averages, and numbers should be tweaked to see what are the boundaries where sec status starts to dive, or go up.)

Ofcourse one great problem would be corp POS's in hisec (standings issues) and lowsec moon mining. POS's would also be a greater problem if the sec status could dive from 0.5 to 0.4.

Just thinking about these, not necessarily a fine suggestions or anything.

I wouldn't mind seeing faction warfare actually fight to claim systems for their racial faction.. Have a something similar to the Caldari/Gallente war happen on all the border overlays with reactive Sov. There should more then definitely be a hard cap for how far a system could fall, and how quickly.. going from a 1.0/0.9 to .02 overnight would be extreme..

This would give a bit of immersion to the rise and fall of the NPC Corporations, Shifting regional factional territories and other dynamic occurances in High Sec. Make factions mean something other then 'Oooh Jump Clones and Loyalty points'; give the Amarr/Minmatar RP Tools something to actually fight about.

A little fine tuning and this could be an amazing thing for the game itself.

Essentially what I was going for, but much better wording.

Low-Sec would need a bit of a buff on the lower end to rats and what not, having the local rats jumbled about a bit wouldn't take to much of a stretch, but giving players a reason to go after it however would be great. Give low sec random duration static plexes (on everyone's overview), fixing gate guns to do damage based on ship type (make smaller then BC possible), combine the local residency's mean sec status average to the shifting of the system sec (a system full of pirates should send a system's sec plummeting)... so many possibilities..

Reactive Sov would be amazing..

Wrong on all counts... there's quite a few Ankh~'s in the game, I'm not the ~numpty one.

English, not Dutch.

If access to null sec isn't impossible, and the space itself has a very porous border, then I expect them to have to run patrols constantly to keep the area from being trespassed. They have the numbers, they can do it, and frankly I think they should be compelled to do so to hold large areas. However getting off their butt, and neglecting their fat rat kills will probably lead to a lot of whining.

Well your idea certainly is as terrible as hers where

What an actual change in geo political maps that reacts to players actions!

My god that would be cool.

CCP i'll do the data entry if it makes it happen.

Why should concord go protect some punk a$$ sov holders in null-sec?

I like this idea.

Some consequences need to be thought through eg: changing sec status and POS's , capital ships based in systems that change to hi-sec and busy moon goo places, but the idea of an evolving security pattern sounds great.

Maybe keep the total number of hi-, low- and null-sec systems about the same, but let the distribution move about a bit to reflect changing player patterns.
