Maybe should you leave your corporation/alliance and join a small dynamic and active one which has a good and solid project, maybe in wormspace ?

When Mittens puts up ads to pay for servers he is being greedy. When Somer is given trillions of isk worth of items out of thin air, it is because their gambling site is good for the community.

See Bio for isk doubling rules. If you didn't read bio, chances are you funded those who did.

No expert on EvE here, as I JUST started and moved to Low. But maybe this would help?

Art of War has an interesting chapter on deceit and ruses. Perhaps an agressing alliance could attack multiple structures at different ends of (as well as sectors inside of) the Sovereign territory, forcing the defender to divide his attention and resources. Then you could slowly chip away as he is scurrying to-and-fro, until his turf is small enough to confront outright.

Invasions 101?

Perhaps you could reduce the timer instead of getting rid of it. Half it, or reduce it to somewhere between 2-6 hours? Just for a little experimentation, and to see how things go? It would definitely aid the aforementioned strategy.

There's one issue here. Lets say you have a 5000 man alliance and they want to take some space from CFC. CFC has something like 24k. Your 5,000 man alliance attacks 4 points, goons attack 20... you might take one, CFC will take 5. Or they'll just squish you at your 4 points.


There is no possible sov system that will let a small alliance successfully fight alone vs a large, well run alliance.

There are some things that could be done to make things less imbalanced however.

Putting the onus on players to police their assets rather than automated emails. Making it more expensive to have lots of capital ships sitting around. Making holding space more expensive. The ability for small corps alliances to damage bigger ones without having to turn up at an allotted time, reducing the range of bridges and increasing fuel costs so its EXPENSIVE to use caps.... lots of things could be done.

Everytime I login I run across awesome content being created. Just in the last 2 days since coming back from a vacation, I have facilitated 2 amazing bonus rounds where lucky clients put it all on the line to win big. For those that were not there, at least one of those may be posted on www.minerbumping.com within the next few days.

When I'm not doubling isk, you can find me undocked ganking illegal miners or wandering through nullsec in one of my trusty 100m+ bombers.

When not in space shooting at things or docked doubling isk, you can often find me donating isk and giving guidance to brand new players.

If things are so boring for you, I have an idea. Start up another account if you don't have one already and go infiltrate one of your main alliance's enemies. Relieve them of assets and ships in space. I hear Northern Associates renter corps are always recruiting.

Have fun!


Erotica does indeed create fun content and i enjoy the games she makes as do many others.
James 315 has created a huge mass of high sec content for many people and i enjoy hanging out with them.
I am a member of a small incursion community that i do a few hours a week.
i am enjoying my manufacturing and trading alt although i am still nervously glancing at invention and T2 stuff.
I enjoy doing exploration and wormhole diving a few hours a week.
I do PVP most evenings with my corp and alliance mates (btw OP this alliance was indeed created yesterday and we are all null sec players).
I am running a free ship/skill book giveaway for new players with no strings (they get a channel they can ask for advice. a mail with career suggestions and a few mill of stuff). They aren't asked to join the corp and indeed we aren't set up to cope with such young players. It is nice greeting these eve players of the future though and maybe 1 or 2 will end up joiing us.

With all this i know i am experiencing only a fraction of what the game has to offer. I am only in a few of the many communities meeting only a few of the content creators. It is already more than i have time for. Look up from your nullsec wars. Make a new char and explore other communites and playstyles.
Also i never seem to have to travel more than a few jumps to find PVP from solo to medium fleets.

Having fun in a sandbox as many have said is your job or you need to find new friends who will help you have fun (you don't have to ditch your old friends either).

Money at its root is a form of rationing. When the richest 85 people have as much wealth as the poorest 3.5 billion (50% of humanity) it is clear where the source of poverty is. http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jan/20/trickle-down-economics-broken-promise-richest-85

I feel like its up to us, the players to make these things happen and right now there is very little incentive for conflict as this article states. Certainly not gonna login for PVE. Am I the only one who does this?


You know there was a story a couple of weeks ago about a guy who went out for a solo roam in a frigate and ended up earning a supercarrier kill? That only happened because he decided "screw being bored, I'm going to do something." I've had a quick look, I can't find the story, so I can't provide the facts but the story is the important part: someone went and did something, and as a result stuff happened.

Don't sit on your arse waiting for other people to start doing stuff that you can follow. Take the black dog by the horns and do something, even if it seems stupid. Go for a solo roam in a disposable frigate and clone. Keep in touch with intel channels. Tell people what's going on in the area, and maybe you'll help make something happen!
