~24K renters over the past 2 years CHOSE to enter into Sov NS, because the barriers were removed for them. These 24K people could have just as easily stayed in HS and got better rewards, but they didn't they chose to enter into NS, for whatever reason.


And all of them idiots.

Seems like a solid rebuttal.

"No one is going to go to NS because the rewards suck"

-What about these 24K people-

"Oh those ones are just idiots"

So which is it, are people going to enter null when barriers of entry change or no? Or will only more idiots enter null? Seems to be quite a lot of idiots there already if thats the case...or maybe, folks go to null for reasons other than isk/hr?

Whats your opinion on the other ~20K folks who have entered into NS in the last couple years, the ones who didn't pay to live in someones castle? Are they idiots too? Or the ones who more recently join the likes of Pandemic Horde, and Karmafleet, are they also idiots?

it amazes my how you fight the incursion corner here by enforcing that incursions are risky enough and do not need changed in highsec then on the other hand you put a F&I thread up suggesting that security should be disrupted in incursion zones to encourage pvp by turning off gate and station guns along with concord.

We have scammed literally tens of thousands with our recruitment over the last few years, so using your logic giving me 500 mil to join bat country and all your ships to transport out to us is a great idea.


Them being idiot is completely irrelevant. The important things is they are there and might return once the barrier change. CCP won't give a rat ass if some player decide to not go in SOV null because the income is bad as long as there are enough people who does. Who use that space is irrelevant as long as some one is using it even if they are economically challenged.

The real fun part will be the first few weeks where people will claim the were "right" and that new peopel are indeed trying to get systems. This will be the initial surge which is useless as a data point. Fozzie sov will live or die over time and that is something we can't know right now. Maybe those you call stupid will wise up, maybe they will get burned down too often and give up or maybe they will hold there anyway because they like it like that.

Im sorry, when did I say Incursions were risky enough? I think I have said numerous times that risk/reward is not, and never has been a balancing metric. I posted that thread in F+I so it would create a "thunderdome" type area in HS for those that wish to PVP. I never directed it as an anti-incursion thing, it was the posters following me that created that dialogue.

Id like to see Sansha Incursions actually have a REAL impact on the space they occur in, not some marginally ineffective changes to isk earned, or damage done. I said the same in this very thread several times that CONCORD and system security in general should be removed because it doesn't mesh with the idea that a Pirate Faction essentially controls a group of systems within HS space.

In regards to my purpose in this thread, I am keeping folks like Baltec1 honest in his intentions. There is no need to reduce isk/hr, there is no need to increase associated risk while running incursions. Both of these aspects are completely fine and I will argue that point for as long as I feel necessary.

If that makes Incursions a bit more risky to get to, and move between, than that is the rub...I am sure the Incursion community will find ways to overcome that barrier and still be capable of earning their 200m/hr running incursions. It will also give HS folks a place to brawl, without needing to resort to Wardecs, and Ganking.

Oh it isn't. Highsec if full of morons who think null is where the isk is at. These are the same people who fall for our scams and think the best way to make isk from missions is to kill and salvage everything. They are the same people who think moons print infinite amounts of isk and honestly think the blue doughnut exists. Why do you think we were ranting this trash space out to start with? If it was any good we would be using it ourselves rather than using alts in highsec.

Yeah I usually agree with Kaarous but this is just... no lol.

The weak may perish, that is the law of New Eden, but CVA have hardly been box-ticking taskmasters or crying babies or "limp-wristed" (Really? REALLY?) in any time Ive had contact with them in the last few years.

Whats your point? Still folks entering into NS despite the "lack of rewards" for doing so. Obviously there is reason for these people to go there, and they do. Carebear, Leet PVPer, Idiot, or Genius, all irrelevant descriptions of bodies moving to 0.0. Which some folks claim is not a thing, yet clearly is a thing.

Nodody cares where they make their ISK as long as they are willing to burn it on keeping some systems to their name.

If they dont live in null sov then fozziesov wont work. It needs people to live in sov space so yes, it does matter where they make their isk.

No it does not as the system will hold even if all usage index are at 0 until someone deems it worth attacking and then, when it is lost by side A, well how can you say it's worthless when side B put in the ISK and effort into conquering it?

Not looking for an isk making guide, im asking for this source that shows BNI and others make their ISK outside of NS. You do have a source for that right? Otherwise, folks might think you are talking out your ass.

NS is empty because there simply are not enough pilots to give it a good activity ratio, and current gameplay mechanics encourage everyone sitting in a few systems instead of spreading out and using them all. Which will change when Fozziesov makes it so used systems are harder to take, and generate better rewards the higher their sov index gets.

Go look up the mechanics. Space will be a pushover if the indexes are at 0, you will have no time to react to an attack.

If you want to hold space you must actively live in it. You cannot live in empire space and hold sov come fozziesov.

You can only lose it of someone think it's worth the effort to take over. Are you going to burn the whole universe every few weeks because you can? If not, then who will burn all those "absentee" owners over and over again until they quit?

Also, they could make their ISK in null even if it was not the best ISK/hours in the game. People still run lvl 3, anoms, exploration, LVL 4 and other things even if it's not on par with WH PvE or HQ sites chain running. Who's to say some people won't find it to be at elast enough to start grinding their index even if it's not the best isk/hours in the game?

Which is 100% an issue with how NS currently works, its numerous barriers of entry, and the fact up until recently anyone trying to enter into NS (outside of renting) would be met with a Blob of ****. Case in point, BL. takes QCAB CFC responds by hellcamping an empty Venal station for 2 weeks. Super engaging stuff. Why live there, when you can live in HS and day trip to LS or NS to PVP.

NS is empty because Coalition gameplay has made it a super **** experience, and greatly limits the infusion of new players.

Granted that mold has been broken some in recent years, Rental Empires, Phoebe changes, more and more people now entering into NS than were previously.

But they are idiots right and don't count?
