EVE General Discussion

I love how a lot of the "you need less space" is coming from ppl who's alliances have none.

Ageis is heavily skewed toward the attackers. There is no commitment to taking the sov on their part. Exodus is a prime example. They come in we kill or chase them off they come back or go to pure blind to hit goon stuff. They do this every day with 5-7 in fleet. Sov shouldn't be a tool for small gang pvp. Less than 10 pilots have more power than a full fleet in dominion. Or PH with their entosis bombs. 20-30 mallers going out and hitting that many structures at once. All examples of a skewed system. The attackers can come back and harass the defenders by killing entosis ships that can't be effectively defended if in separate systems or just blueball and watch the defenders run around playing capture the flag.

If the attackers are making a true effort to take sov and not just remove the current residents infastructure there needs to be a mechanic in play for this for a balanced sov system where it can be defended with out troll tactics. Needs to be harder to ref, reintroduce SBUS (with much less anchoring time), limit entosis links to battle cruiser and larger hulls, attackers must have a certain number of online poses or citadels, a certain number of hours it can be in ref per week like citadels will be(only the number will be dependent on the adm), something to balance it.

But they can't actually attack, they can just annoy. If they want to take and hold sov they still have to fight the same numbers. Small sov holders will still get booted the moment a bigger group wants the space, the only difference is that now player who have absolutely no interest in sov now have a way to force sov holders of all sizes to use boring mechanics with no commitment. No way of spinning that makes it good game design.

I love how people just sling around the term "guerrilla war" in relation to this by the way. The players using this "guerrilla war" tactic are a coalition which includes the second largest alliance in the entire game (which itself is in a separate coalition). If a large alliance like that started to use it on small sov holders the effects would be considerably more devastating.

The biggest issue i see for you guys to do that is besides provi who do you hit. The Russians who are your allies acording to the Mattani? The groups who don't care about sov to begin with so won't care if they lose it. Right now you guts seem to be the only game in town so to speak Granted i don't know or care about most of the big sov groups or any of them for that matter. Defending sov can only be done if you care about that sov. thats why NPC null sec and low sec are so powerful I don't have to care about sov and can still get fights and force people to fight.

I think the sad situation right now is only imperium, Russians, and provie actual care about there sov everyone else is jsut a meh whatever about it. to be fair it's been that way since a little after phebe.

Before entosis lasers we had AFK Vexors that we used to grind structure HP while we slept.

But that took four hours or so. Entosis links really are stupid.

Wait what

You had me worried with your question of who else owns sov. Plenty of people. I wouldn't necessarily do it on a Goonwaffe main, and as long as I pick someone I've never heard of, I think I can avoid an intergalactic incident.

not really i don't care who i fight or where. I just truly love watching the carnage. Blue donut unblue donut it really makes no diffrance to me or my style of gameplay. I'm just in it for the destruction and chaos fighting brings. i wont shoot blues but if someone's not blue i'll shoot whoever. and if everyone is blue and against me it just means i have more targets.

market trading is great. it takes very little time and you can gain massive income after you learn what your doing and the best part is since you don't undock no risk unless you make a mistake. citdels might change that but for right now passive income sources are sp farming. reaction farming never done this, and market trading. there might be others but there the ones i know of. you'll never get rich but you can pvp.

it sounds like we both enjoy doing the same thing and to be honest i'm sure people in every group enjoy what we do. this is waht amkes eve amazing is the fact that everyone can set there own end game.

So, the CFC spends a year or so metagaming with "occupancy sov" and "apex force" to crowbar their enemies completely out of any interest in ~true sov holding~.

And now the complaint is..."our enemies have no true interest in holding sov and only harass us with their worthless mallers".

Hoisted by your own petard, there.

Practice implies you get better at thing. You're starting to lose timers, so you might want to rethink how you're "practicing".
