I bet there are players who have never left their asteroid system, often times I see carebears 100km off the gate staring at it like they have never seen one before, then after about 5 min they warp to the station.


you mean like people who never left their training corp or just post with their alts on the forum?

if you want to actually put overwhelming force into nullsec you'll need FCs, tight fleet compositions, a logistics crew to drop POS, keep them fueled and deal with sov structures, a proper chain of command and, most importantly, pilots

it's a bit more complicated than running a mission, it seems

The problem with this is that is requires the skill "ballsack" to be trained to at least one, most floks in high sec haven't gotten around to it yet....


As opposed to the nullsec pilots that run for the station when someone who isn't "blue" appears in local?

Two of the defining characteristics of a carebear are wanting other players to play the way the carebear wants and whining on the forums for the game to change when they don't. Yet I see more threads on these forums from gankers than I do miners whining about wanting the game changed to suit them.

please, move to nullsec and show those big bad "afk" cloakers how courageous you are when you refuse to accept their tyranny and continue ratting despite their presence

they're kind of like wolves, if you stand your ground they'll sniff you and move on

AH! I get it!

You're saying it's gonna be like clear skies where the randoms all gang together for the greater good.

or...

Will it be more like EvE, where entire corporations stay docked because one 'bad guy' sits outside of station?

we don't need that tactical nonsense, we are carebears, we just go there and shoot those who are upfront... we leave the tactical stuff to the defenders, we just shoot ships in old fashion, easy

I'm still not worried, like I said we come in a ratio 10 vs. 1, all we can loose is lets say a jump clone and the value of one week mining, you will need to come up with your best ships if you want to stand a chance... everybody gets what he wants, no riks for carebears and high risc for nullsecers

Getting highsecers to work together is like herding cats.

Even if you could get them all together, mining characters tend to have crap combat skills. You might get the same DPS out of 50 competent battleship pilots, as you could get from your massive wall of killmails barges. You can only bring so many people into local at once before the node stops people from jumping in.

Herding cats is easy - Simply open a can of tuna where you want them to be.

Move all mining resources into Nul, and the carebears will be there in massive numbers.

Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing.

You want to do what is called carebear paradox.

...and more boring to most folk.

The really good thing about null-sec is that it keeps so many of the pixel hard-men away from the rest of us.Smile
