EVE General Discussion

I'm sure you thought this was a very, very edgy post, but you're apparently trying to ignore the fact that having more people in nullsec just bumbling around doing stuff (and thus more targets) is a good thing.

They have timers.

No entrails, oh my.

TL; DR: Nullsec is boring.

I can only speak for myself, but in my case, it's pure desinterest in 0.0 at the current state.

- Any significant PvP involves timers, massive EHP and thus blobs and powerblocks. Force projection is ****-easy. Whilst CCP brought in numerous mechanics to nerf bigger=better, there still is no single disadvantage to bring bigger numbers.

- I've not been interested to fly around in blobs anymore for years and except for catching some ratters (yay - have a cookie for killing that ratting carrier), small gangs are pointless.

- I'm poor by current standards, but I have enough isk so no amount of isk/h is going to encourage me to join a powerblock (and I'd never consider renters even a remote option).

- Dominion mechanics made nullsec bleed personalities and people to 'hate' (in an ingame sense) - they're all faceless pets of someone I don't care about. Last time I took a short stint to nullsec was killing the old NC because I despised them - not because I enjoyed it. I was out as soon as it was was clear the DRF would win and the NC was gone for good. Now all that is left is the CFC, which I perceive as advocates of nullsec despite I used to hate goons years ago and some faceless bittervet alliances that are heavily infiltrated by each other whilst demanding break of information privacy laws just to check them out.

- Bubbles and camps are easily avoided, but I'm just tired of using the same dated D-scan for years.

Not a big issue - there are other areas to play in, but I don't give a rats arse about current 0.0.

TL;DR yes, but likely something less tz sensitive.

The general idea is great, and exactly what CCP is talking about with "farms and fields". Team A builds something. Team B uses violence to disrupt and/or leech off what team A has built. Team A either develops a military response or hires Team C to use violence against Team B.

Boom, you have content.

My guess is that it won;t be moon-mining because then you have the time zone issue, forcing everyone to be pan-global collectives. A far more likely system will be something where you "spool up" value extraction in your space during your prime activity times, which raiders can then interfere with and/or siphon off. For example, as EU tz alliance A hits its prime-time, all the ratting "spools" up the payouts. Then EU tz alliance B comes in to A's space and drives them out of their "spooled-up" and highly lucrative anoms (or whatever) and starts running them. Now A can either fight back, in which case B gets a fight, or they can hide like cowards, in which case B gets fat cash and "spools" down A's anoms (or whatever).

That's a pretty interesting idea. But in real life, an ecosystem works because once the alpha predator dies, it becomes food for others. I don't see an equivalent for that in Eve or even a real equivalent to scavengers living off the kills of the alpha predators (I guess some kinda protected salvage ships would be it).

yeah basically just buff 0.0 income for the poor working-class schmo but make that buff destroyable or stealable, presto better 0.0

fly amarr

presto problem solved

I think you're missing the point of the post (perhaps deliberately, but I'll bite anyway). People need a reason to fight, and attacking the weak-links (e.g. lone ratters or miners) provokes defense fleets to get real fights. This has been the cornerstone of pvp for a long time, and to say otherwise is bordering on ignorant.

The base level is rats and roids.
