I see you clearly thought about this and decided that ratting bots that chain in null clearly don't make as much ISK as mission running bots(which require higher SP while putting themselves to more risk due to higher % chance of being reported in high).

How come you don't have any tech moons then? I thought it was easy?


i have no interest in them but it is easy when you have a giant blue blob no 1 is willing to fight against

gee I wonder which kind of bot will be more likely to be reported

the one that's running missions and not competing with anyone else to actually run the missions, since missions spawn endlessly, or the one that's running anomalies 23/7 and preventing other people from running those anomalies, since anomalies are finite

this is a toughie

who exactly is gonna try to take your tech moons? you ruined the game enough for all the other blue blobs to stop playing with you and now your mad they decided to play away from your crap where you cant hurt them so you try to get the game changed to ruin it for them all over again

Tell us more about the almost zero effort required in obtaining a tech moon.

Duh, all you have to do is put up a POS tower, obviously!

So you are posting, to say you already made a post? are you seriously the best GSF could find to defend them?! ShockedShockedShockedShocked

If anything this is enough proof that GSF are cascading

gee maybe we are at this point because we've spent our massive tech income keeping our line members in ships and reimbursing every lossmail of even a vaguely strategic nature, for every ship up to and including titans

such massive expenses don't tend to be compatible with one guy trying to maximize profits for RMT, do they

Herp derp, planet Earth to Andski, come in, did i say anomalies.....?

Ratting as in belts, you know. Those belts that have NPC with higher bounties that the NPCs in missions. Those belts that have a chance to spawn some juicy things.

To the other goon above, I also explained my point of view but you clearly missed it, so I won't bother doing it again.

belt ratting is worthless and anyone with half a brain would run anomalies which also have a chance to spawn escalations, which drop juicy things

also the average solo ratting ship can't take on an officer spawn, so there you go

oh and did you know that systems also don't have unlimited numbers of belts, and belt ratting is just as competitive otherwise since, unlike anomalies, belt spawns don't respawn immediately?

belt ratting is inferior to anomaly ratting in 0.0 and is also competing for limited resources

don't you ever get tired of being wrong

What do you mean "yet?" I thought that was clearly implied.

yes because getting massive numbers and throwing them all into a single system to create lag is hard, and you wonder why no 1 will play with you

TiDi stops that from happening and has done for a very long time.
