Well anyone who residides in null sec should feel right at home then hu. You know with al of the NIP agreements out in "uncontrolled" space.
just saying.

If Goons were around when God said, "Let there be light" they'd have called the light gay, and plunged the universe back into darkness by squatting their nutsacks over it.

Clearly you entertain some fantasy that you are witty and funny.

It's good to have dreams I guess.

Killing missioners and incursion runners is great fun, don't get me wrong, but what about all these highsec research and manufacturing POSes?

Because of the immense difficulty of killing a POS with a limited number of people and no capitals highsec industrialists are getting away with putting significant assets in space in order to make money without those assets ever being in danger of being destroyed. Nobody likes a large faction tower covered in ECM batteries run by a 2 man corp that you can't kill due to the horrible war mechanics.

To deal with pos, you need to fix empire war mechanics which are a joke. Also pos that go offline should be shootable to get rid of the detrius of failed corporations that will never re-online the thing.

The new battlecruisers are not making suicide ganking easier, they're simply balancing with the new insurance policy. If anything, you lose a bit more from ganking with a tier 3 BC than previously with a battleship. And though they may have a bit better of a turret setup, they can't use drones to help the gank.

I support the OP's point. I wouldn't go too far with it; since missioning is more interactive than botting, it should offer more protection. Perhaps one way to reduce mission botting is to make level 4 missions too difficult for a single player flying anything short of officer fit, and rather to balance them for two players both in a tech 1 ratting ship with some tech 2 modules. That way, players will find ingenious new ways to complete the missions more easily, while botters will struggle with trying to get their already complicated bots to actually work together, and a lot of them will probably just give up and get an easily-configured mining bot.

I also think that the Angel Cartel should be changed to use almost only explosive and kinetic damage. I love fighting rats that have 2 damage types and 2 resist holes because then I can fit my ship specifically for that, and it makes the mission easier. If that makes me more open to ganks, so be it. It's not like I'm AFK when I mission, so I'm not really afraid.

Fellow Goon Capsuleer, why should CONCORD worry itself with cleaning the space lanes when plenty of poor spacers lick their lips at the thought of opening fire with their Salvager beams on the wreck of a decommissioned Privately Owned Starbase?

Nay, CONCORD should leave the Empire constellations alone and concentrate on true threats to galactic stability, such as Sansha Kuvakei and his brainwashed goon (note the lack of capital G) hordes.

What was your motto anyway?

"We don't want to ruin the game, we love the game, we want to ruin the game for you".

Any non Goons voting for Goon delegates and proposals are suicidal.

Yeah, I've never heard this motto, and whether you like him or not, The Mittani has been pretty influential in getting CCP back on track with actual internet spaceships.

On topic, increasing highsec ganking is a good thing for everyone, including highsec people. Eve is and should be a multiplayer game, and mechanics that encourage people to work together for protection and profit are never bad. No one should be mining alone: it's horribly boring, and not helping anyone else enjoy the game. Much as I find mining horribly boring, highsec mining corps are still better and more enriching for the game than solo miners.

Remember when everyone was sure that taking away insurance for CONCORD-popped ships was going to reduce the number of ganks? And then it actually increased? Good times.
