EVE General Discussion

an example?

Goonswarm.

Through espionage, mass recruitment, and a little luck, they beat Band of Brothers, which in early EVE was the alliance that basically ruled all of the nullsec that matters, they then since became the new BoB, ruling over almost all of nullsec.


the thing is, as long as leadership si strong, and players stay organized/active, why should you expect to be able to take space/power from the alliances? if they have more resources than you, more members than you, and better organization than you, what can you do so well that justifies you being handed over SOV?

this is why small powers right now are small, most of them would rather leech and live off existing infrastructure and supply lines maintained by the big empires, so instead of waiting for a weakness to form in a large alliance, and exploiting it to win a war, they become dependent on the alliances and any weakness of the larger alliance becomes a weakness of the smaller, so they never get a chance to overthrow their predecessor.

in other words, its laziness and a lack of strong leadership that has prevented any new groups from forming

they are politically in charge of a coalition they organize and centrally govern that has influence covering half the map, dont pretend that coalitions dont exist, because they do, yes the rule is precarious because pissing off subordinates is an instant loss of 2-3 regions a piece, but they havent lost rule yet, and until they due, they "own" half the map

The table is full of food, pull up a seat and eat!
If your lazy you will always live in mom's basement and eat cheeto's
You get me? You want to be SOV holder go and get it. If not, do something else, why I love EVE for 11 years now!

It's basically because people in other online games with areas of control suck. The good players are all here in Eve.

I assume you mean one coalition.

Vince Draken the leader of a coalition that exists to destroy us, would love to take over all of nullsec (or at least destroy us, which might be easier or harder depending on how you look at it). Thus it's fairly obvious that he can'tis about to with this seventh or such invasion attempt to end our 0.0 nightmare.


CFC is happy with what it has. A bit more is ok perhaps, but nothing like "all of nullsec".

OH man. It's so cool, in a chicken-sh*t kinda way. The TWO BIG ALLIANCES HAVE A TREATY! Shhhh...."we" don't want just anybody to know this. (People may start thinking "player-generated content" = rigging the game!)



They essentially agreed not to attack each other. This was to "secure revenue." That's a fancy way of saying, "If I'm fighting to defend what I have, it costs money, and while I'm fighting I can't make money. So, let's just not fight." So, this mythological EVE where PVP reigns supreme and carebears suck? Well. Shhhh....don't tell anybody.
(The two HUGEST PVP outfits agreed to carebear with each other!)



They're the huge stagnant glob on the map. ONE of these alliances is now attacking a very small alliance in what is known as the more undesirable, and profitless section of null sec - because they're bored and want some "gudfights"! (They must be tired of monopolizing the one ore most needed to build advanced items in this "economy"!)
