Good thing our newbies turn into sharks

Null sec is more interesting than the OP's null blog.

Null is the same as it was 5 years ago. The only thing that has changed is more people figured out it was smoke an mirrors. 90% of us were destined to be herds in high sec with a few billion in our wallet. We don't have the time or the desire to live EVE or freeload of the people who do.

Dude. This is a video game. What isn't smoke and mirrors?

Enjoying the rain today? ;)

OP doesn't have a clue what is going on in null (no pandas there, sorry).

This article shows that null had more content than high, low and WH combined.

PS. I'm not goon and don't have any relationship to them, but reading eve news is actually what makes me want to log in again and again.

Hmm, so it seems vince draken's superior friendship making skills will lead to the downfall of the evil cfc

That's not content. That's players running the only pvp themepark ride that exists in null - The Blobbatron. A ride that involves shooting a structure till its 30% shields, then returning 24 hours later with as many people as possible to shoot the remaining HP. The enemy also brings as many people as possible in an attempt to a) kill an inferior force or b) crash the server if the enemy force is superior. The players then petition CCP for reimbursements and the force left holding the system attempts to gank those unlucky players logging in after the crash.


Strangely this themepark ride is universally hated by all involved but they still can't seem to stop riding it or defending it.

You know that structures reinforce at 25% shields and stuff like Ihubs/stations reinforce again at 50% armor, right?

SBUs don't reinforce

The length of a reinforcement timer can vary from 0 if idiots don't stront to over 2 days for some structures.

Also, you shouldn't act as though somehow the progodlegend holy wreckingballfleet is anything like blobbing. That is elite (super)capital pvp.

Why is null sec important to the eve player, it offers nothing to me other than large 6 hour tidi battles defending other peoples moon goo mining setups? CCP needs to make null sec more appealing. We need better content, and we need to entice people to kill each other over said content.


According to DOTLAN in the past 24 hours:

1881 ships and 1365 pods destroyed in Catch
1322 ships and 862 pods destroyed in Syndicate
940 ships and 778 pods destroyed in Curse
... etc

That's about 75% of the losses happening in the main Empire systems, and there have been no major fleet battles AFAIK in catch, syndicate or curse in the past 24 hours.

Yeah, nullsec is dead dead dead. That must be why the majority of the EvE population lives there or hunts there.

I'll be honest...

Nul is the most boring thing I've experienced in EVE. It's not for everyone.
