EVE General Discussion

Posts like this are so silly. I don't in any way want high sec pocos. I'm just pointing out that people who do are forced to deal with an idiotic war dec system that charges more and more to declare war against the groups who have the most ability to defend themselves. Large, organized corps should not get an extra layer of protection just handed to them because they are big. It's just stupid.

Tyranny is enabled primarily by the idea that people cannot do anything about it.

I mean, there is no way a giant organized block of players could ever come into existence. Nobody would ever band together in null sec and create an empire. There would never be an organization of brave new players banding together in hi sec. Or would there?

EVE is a place where numbers thrive. Alone you can survive. Survival of the fittest. If the "oppressed" will not stand together, they shall be exploited. Large corporations survive because they show the willingness to expand and defend their assets. As another capsuleer pointed out, smaller corps tend to jump ship like rats as soon as a shot is fired. The problem with maintaining one or two independent POCOs is not the financial burden of a war dec, it is a failure to network. Assets of this sort simply cannot be defended against larger alliances. Frankly, I don't see how people maintain stations in hi-sec either, unless they have a lot of friends.

Yes, you can do anything you want in EVE, but you need to set realistic goals. If you want the world, you need to go out and earn it.

The real question should be why shouldn't larger corps dominate the POCO system?

What right does a single person in a 0% tax shelter corp have to operate such an asset and be protected in some way?

I don't really see how wardecs really play into it, unless this mega corp is based entirely in hi-sec. Chances are it is not. I am certain there are plenty of assets available in null waiting to be destroyed, free of charge; ask Harry Forever. I hav a feeling people are either too lazy, or completely sold on the idea that null is some big bad horrible place. Take a look around. Go break some stuff.

Find a supply chain and disrupt it. Just don't bother Red/Black Frog, they are useful people...

there are no goons, bob will rule forever

At least you don't have to wardec, if you're willing to take a security status hit

Then go take them down and start making a difference.

It's entirely up to the various denizens of highsec if this becomes a conflict driver or not.

Why 'denizens of highsec'?

My understanding is both null and lowsec are also involved in Highsec POCOs? If there is no conflict, then doesn't that call into question the game mechanic as a whole?

Evolve or die

Cmon player, THINK IT THROUGH!!!!

Bah, all these people crying and whining about larger, more established groups having benefits over entitled solo players. My (small, rag-tag) corp owns a few POCOs (most in lowsec, some in hisec) and it we grinded them all ourselves, working through reinforcement timers and dodging hostilities from our public enemies. We bled for those things with our ships, we deserve the ISK we gain from them as long as we may still keep them. We proved a small but commited group can take them down with proper coordination and some effort. I once thought POCO ownership to be something for the big guys. I proved myself wrong, and I am glad I did. People tend to overestimate the effort required to kill a POCO or come up with the funds for a wardec.

Evolving isnt about pushing through the ceiling

Its about thinking AROUND it

But your tack has now changed from "I want to do this but cant" to "Grr Goons"

Sorry that they dont like playing the game your way

But yes, you are the panda in your example.

You are sticking to one income stream and refusing to diverge

You will become extinct if you dont evolve out of it
