EVE General Discussion

Does anyone know if the new Siphon units are for high sec? If so how are they to be destroyed? Will it be possible to destroy one without wardec the other corp?


The direction Eve is taking is quite disturbing for sure. As a high sec care bear, I have no interest in pvp and being pushed in that direction is not that pleasing to me.

In my donut shop I offer several different varieties for customers, not just making them buy a plain donut. The reason I like Eve is because there are so many ways to play the game and there is no "right or wrong way". With CCP trying to drive us to a pvp based game it's like they are offering only one kind of donut and alienating at least half of their customers. Pretty stupid if you ask me!

And for all those players that love griefing care bears, what will you do when there are no more care bears to grief and all you have to find is real pvp? I bet the game will be less fun for you too. :)

Looking to the future, based on this expansion, will we see Player Owned Gates, where in order to travel to an adjacent solar system, one needs to be a part of the Player Owned Corporation who owns the Gate?, or more frighteningly, Player Owned Stations,

Yeah, that way, High Sec Players who love to play PvE, will be well and truly fugged. I love some elements of the new expansion, the SoE Ships for example, and some of the metric changes, but the need to force High Sec players into endless PvP scenarios, just hurts this game for so many players.

I feel, like many, that I have wasted valuable skill point training time, into letting my characters get to level 5 in Planetary Interaction. I was making Organic Mortars, but no more. I ferried them with security in the Orca to Jita, but no more as the Orca lost its built-in security. In the future, you say I will be able to continue as I can use the export station to eject the planetary Output into space for collection, but to make Organic Mortars, you need to export from one planet and IMPORT into the planet making the Organic Mortars. If I have no or limited access to a POCO, then that is not going to happen.

I used three accounts with all characters trained in order to be able to keep Organic Mortar production at near full capacity, that has changed and now I run just two accounts, so a third of my monthly payments to CCP is lost.

I wonder if other players will drop their tertiary accounts as they did when you made massive changes to Ice Mining .

Makes me wonder how many trial accounts, and full time accounts have been lost, because the players decided High Sec (often one sided) PvP was too greater cost to play this game.

Some one said Eve is a Shin Kickers game, the longer you have been in, the bigger you are , the more power you have. And that if you get New players to leave, then they win because the tears are lovely...

Sorry CCP, I feel you are letting the wrong players dictate how you run the game.

I understood it was a sandbox, and that my play style had as much weight as another's play style, but I guess that is only of you belong to a strong PvP Corporation.

I, for one, am super excited about interceptors getting some much needed upgrades and love.

So I can lock things faster.

Yeah, I well know how juicy big alliance targets are. The problem is that these big alliances have full PVP wings going up against industrial corps who either have small or non-existent PVP wings. Most of the people I know who run PI operations in high-sec operate them using their own alts, not necessarily other members of their corp. So while individuals can make good isk at it, few at the corporation level would see the benefit of losing hundreds of millions in isk in ships + war-dec costs going against a potentially well trained PVP force that can switch out when they are tired.



They don't need to be everywhere.. just at critical planets. In addition, the players they will most likely encounter are not going to be well organized. Sure, they *might* be able to mount a defense for a short time, but over the long haul it is doubtful because many corps simply don't have the time, the resources, or the experience to maintain successful guerilla tactics.

I'm still up in the air about switching POCOs over, especially how the taxes are intended to work. I can see it being an interesting conflict opportunity, potentially a good way for smaller alliances to strike back at larger ones too. It could also be a boon for major alliances with thousands of people at their command with the ability to mount takedown and defense fleets no matter what time of the day.
