Wormholes.



So...uncoordinated highsec dwellers are going to form up on the fly, with blinged out incursion-type ships, find wormholes from ~somewhere~, and manage to travel through them to fight the drifters?

Yeah...that's really going to happen, isn't it. Roll



I'm not sure if you're overestimating the need for overlords to control groups of players or unerestimating the ability 100 dudes wanting the same thing to create a good leader.

Both are equally funny.

I personally think permanent lowsec surrounding each of the empires is a better way to split up highsec.


The only way that would realistically work is if there were hundreds of routes between the empires. Otherwise, the few lowsecs that would exist would be camped 23/7 and the only trade between the empires would be from jumpfreighters.

Lowering the average to make you look better since 2012.

This sounds like a logistics nightmare.

How much herp could a herp derp derp if a herp derp could herp derp.

Wormholes.


Nobody will be bothered to try to fight the Drifters unless they are rewarded with obscene sums of isk. In which case everyone will try to fight the drifters, making them the new incursions to be farmed.

Yea, but what about the people trapped on the inside? Let's say I went to Jita for a day, and all of a sudden it was quarantined. I don't want to station spin for up to a week, and I don't have the isk to lose multiple battleships fighting drifters (nor do I want to get on their bad side)


The majority of EVEs population is centered in Caldari space, how difficult would it be to get a group going to defeat 1 gatecamp of drifters and make a beachhead. Every other capsuleer then can help free up all other gates. With the ingenuity from EVE players I do not believe such a constellation would be unreachable for a week.

Let me add, when a less populated area is attacked, its up to local community leaders to form up and create a beachhead with local resources, or they could pool isk to hire mercs. In any event, its a great way to meet new people and explore new eve content.


Yea, I mean they will eventually, but I don't want to have to ship spin for a few days without being able to do anything else. Forcing everyone to PvE just to do the stuff they actually want to do is a bad idea. And no, CCP isn't forcing everybody to do it as it is, because I don't really care if there's a few drifters on each gate, whereas this idea would force everybody to do it.


If you just want to PVP, move to low-sec or null-sec. PVE content was always the major content in high-sec, why complain about it if it becomes a mandatory thing once in a while. Locals can adapt or hire help and move on.

No where in this did the poster even mention PvP, you might want to read others posts a bit more carefully in the future.

Good point, I could not read PVP, my bad. I just concluded it from "Forcing everyone to PvE" ...

Ok, you all convinced me of a need to get people decently in and out besides wormholes, what if drifters would just take out a few twin gates here and there in EVE?

No takers? I hope they will get some disruption.
