Wouldn't happen to be a jarhead by chance....present or prior active duty? I always loved the "random" drug tests after the Cobra Gold det came back form Thailand. Random as in everyone with a social ending in number from 0-9.....even us unlucky peeps who got stuck in garrison. SACO still the crap billet they give to newb SSgt's? Was when I left many moons ago lol.


Yes, I am a Marine. I loved the number generator that randomly picked me for 18 months straight - I thought it was pretty funny as a new lieutenant. Since then, the numbers seem to actually be a bit more random. And yes, boot SSgt's still get made SACO.

To the OP, there is no one right way to play Eve. The only wrong way to play Eve is to not log in. Proposing something that suggests that one play style is more virtuous than the others is just a great way to **** everyone off and make them question your sanity or sobriety.

CCP should add more NPC 0.0 space to open it up and liven things up: the Stepping Stones project.

Kill stats over there. Most violent region of Null atm are NPC ones: Syndicate & Providence. Most violent excluding HighSec is the CalGal FW zone.

Remove the possibility for Sov Owners to enter the AT, they clearly don't represent the majority of PvP. Statistic wise, most active place is The Forge, and following your logic, only high-sec only groups should be able to enter.

They should make a 2nd AT for sov holders, and if you lose, the winner gets all the Sov from the losers hows that sound then.

Seriously imbalanced game change that helps only SOV holders at the expense of everyone else playing the game....

Im sure CCP will find a way to proclaim this is a must for game balance and put this in place with a hotfix before next downtime.

Got any more game breaking ideas you want to toss in so that CCP can get your entire wish list done before tomorrow, we wouldnt want our precious nullsec to lack for their every whim.

Yawn,  I'm right as usual. The predictability kinda gets boring really.

This idea is just bad in every way.

Doesn't deserve a proper reply.

On one hand he's full of **** (and clearly and patently so) on the other hand if i need to hold sov for an afternoon on test day i can manage that, hell ABA took sov BY ACCIDENT once....

Ofcourse it would block out PL and some other people who everyone agrees should be in there (or have they formally claimed sov in Amamake while i wasnt paying attention?)

You want to make it so that SOV means something, then make it so people can't siphon off the hard work people put in to upgrading their system. For instance, the daytrippers who just go into sov null to run sites. Is it right that they get the same amount of sites as the people who live there? In my opinion those extra sites that system upgrades spawn, should only be available to that SOV alliance's membership base.

pssst....its called system defence.


See ninjya ratter....kill ninjya ratter. They come in off the usual time of corp/alliance they can expand recruiting to the other tz's. I was in a few oceanic tz crews. this was our specialty as it were. We were the 3rd (graveyard) shift as it were. The peeps very active in the "deadtime" of eve. US and Euro can fight as to who wants to be 1st (day) and 2nd shift (night).

Half the time I saw this they were botters tbh. Don't even need to engage if you don't want to. Script to gtfo fired up as soon as you hit local really. Or if an actual player....they gtfo manually.

You are a special kind of special huh?

What's the point of presence based sov when everything that is born of it isn't presence based.

I see nothing wrong with the use of anomalies you stumble upon when you take a look in nullsec without living there. When you are asleep anyway and someone comes along and takes the risk of being there and run them, she/he should be awarded appropriately.

Fear not, they (the anomalies) come back.

There's an answer to this already. They are called standing defense fleets. If you can't chase off/kill someone running your sites, do you really deserve SOV?
