Who meant who (whom?) what?

I meant he is forum noob for suggesting to me that you might be an alt.

Did I read it wrong and committed faux pas? If yes, I regret it, if not I stand by my opinion.

Edit: I refuse to acknowledge that you might just be an alt not even worth his own 1 man corp.

Not sure what any of this has to do with the expansion or contraction of the universe

But Ill stand out of the way while you losers wave your peens around

Don't need to expand. A lot of the null sec space people control through sovereignty isn't even being utilized. Have flown through a lot of the space and no one is even there. Heck, even decided to hang out in a few places for a few days, and only seen maybe 3 other people flying through the whole time I was there.

What good will more space do? Once conquered it will be just like we have now. Sure it would add some fights short term but in the long run it will give us more of the same thing we already have.

You can't fix null by adding more space, you need to fix the mechanics of what we have now before adding that space.


I have to agree with this. By adding more space, you are only adding jelly filling to the blue donut already in place.

Very true. That being said, forum vets should have a fully functioning sarcasm detector before proceeding to label folks. :P

It wasn't a good idea 11 years ago (when they actually did it) and its still not a good idea.



I actually liked it 11 yrs ago.

Eve was better before the super highways and crap like that. I made good profit moving mods and such from 1 empire to another and doing it all through low sec space. Now its little effort to just afk fly stuff around.

Regional markets need to be more unique and death to Jita superhub




Ok on subject..... Universe doesnt need to be expanded, I know of many systems in high sec that people would actually be in if they made those systems more usable. There are a ton of systems that are good for nothing.

I dont think every useless system should be changed but there are areas that could be buffed to be even a little useful.

Well however deep space exploration is going to come out of the five year plan, we could just hope that it's beyond empire space expansion.

Yes but 11 years ago the server population was so small that even in places like Oss gate in Amamake there was a very good chance you could run anything through at any time without even getting pointed.

Do you not remember Mara-Passari & m0o? That's what it'd be like with the current server population.

Agreed.

Make it possible to conquer High Sec and that will give us all the space we need.

Lol noooo just no. Romona have you not already conquered hi-sec?

Turning Hi-sec into null-sec will NOT fix null sec.

Because I cannot fix what I dont perceive to be broken

High is broken.

The heretics of the Amarr empire must be brought to account for their crimes against God.

The decadent perversions of the Gallente Federation must be stamped out.

The money-lenders of the Caldari temple to greed must be made to bend their knee to a greater power than money.

And the Sebiestor must be exterminated for the good of the New Flesh.

The CONCORD fascists time will come.

It would be great if the empires expanded into low sec space and the donut had to fight them to get it back

creating isolated pockets where everyone plays near Jita doesn't sound like a good idea to me.

I think there needs to be much more space then there is now, because i would like the prospect of huge region with very few people where you could do your exploration thingies.

And a system may seem empty, but a few times a day some explorer will scan out the system and do the sites they find there. There are also reasons why some systems are used less. A pipe system has frequent gangs/neutral/red players coming through them, so ratters, miners and anomaly runners flock in systems of the beaten paths. You can see this behaviour easily when looking at NPC kills on dotlan.

I think a large universe with many connections and little islands of high and lowsec in the null sec would be a nice way to go for it. This would also make the null sec map more diverse, because the blue croissant (it isnt a donut, its half the map now) isn't going to get bigger then it is now. With ten times the regions we have now (yes, i propose to make ten times as much systems than we have now) we have enough place for people to play space empire, let explorers do there thing and such.

It would be even more cool if the players have to set up the gate infrastructure themselves. I hope CCP moves in this direction.

I once fronted a proposal to sequentially reduce system security based on distance from the 1.0 systems. It would lower most systems, but raise a small number. It would also make moving around that much less safe.
