EVE General Discussion

Reread my post. You gravely misunderstood me.

Also, I am loyal to the Amarr Empire.
For the dictatorship of the Empress!

Well, yes, null is basically ruined for any independent alliance that wants to get into it. There is a possibility that the sov changes over the next year or so will fix this, but I think that is extremely unlikely. Rather the sov changes are more likely to be tweaks and improvements to the game that support the existing system better. For instance, coalitions may be created as a game mechanic or inter-alliance interaction tools created (effectively creating coalitions as a game mechanic), and as an example a part of that 'fix' an official game mechanic rental system is likely to be created. So sov mechanics updates are likely to have exactly the opposite effect to what you want.

However, I do believe your salvation may just be in these new star gates that will be coming out in a year or thereafter. Basically, the big kids have ruined the sandbox. The kindergardeners have to give their lunch money to the middle schoolers to play in the sandbox. So the kindergardeners need a new sandbox. Hopefully, the player built star gates actually create new space for new player groups. If it turns out that the player star gates end up being something only the goons can make and that they lead to another place where only the goons can have fun, I'll consider quitting eve. Or I will just face the fact that Eve is basically a goon machine and become a goon. But until the day of that fateful decision I am holding out for the player built star gates to open new fields for smaller groups.

Before that point, yeah, if you're a small corp that wants to play in null, you have to shell out a few billion a month to do it, and this will make sure that the sandbox bully currently in power stays in power, and the donut will have 2-3 colors forever after. That's just the way it is going to be, at the very least for the next year or two.

+1 to that pilot

Just remember; in real life the ones who stamp their feet and cry and say its not fair are usually the ones who are already so rich and well placed they dont need to work at all but their greed makes them squeeze those of us beneath them.

Total lunacy. Can't even bring myself to comment.

1 word: Technetium

In dominion new sandbox rules were implemented which favours only a select group.
Coincedently they also had developers and advisors (CSM) from the benifiting side working on the said desighn and implenmentation of these rules.
There were testserver warnings ect that the new moongoo sandbox system changes were even worse than the system they tried to improve.
It got ignored for 3 years, funded the current 2 nullsec blocs with soo much isk that it resulted in the current situation.
And than suddanly after 3 years "yeah woops it was really bad game desighn".

How about cleaning up your mess first instead of letting the players do it for the next 2-3 years resulting in less fun content. The players pay etherway now the price of incompetence. (Altough it got alot better now... keep up the good work CCP!)

I understand that this ofc get trolled away with personal attacks by the current alts from "powers that be" based on no content at all.

To Ramona; trolling is fun i know :); can you also troll me in a languish other than your native one?

I don't troll, I speak my mind. If you get upset by someone disagreeing with you, I'm afraid that's your problem, not me attacking you.

I think "language" is the word you are looking for.

What was your point again, sorry, I missed it.

Then you need to know Brazil... In fact almost every one that is wealthy or rich did it that way here.

People have said this since the beginning of sov in EvE, and it remains as short-sighted now as it was then.
People take the wrong lesson from GSF's history; you stop at seeing us as the unstoppable super power, but don't go back far enough to realise that goons of old got us got there by fighting an uphill battle against the unstoppable super power. If you think super-caps are an upbeatable ace now, consider that they have been hell-nerfed a half dozen times, and were so rare that only the unstoppable super power had them at all.

But apparently this can't be done again, and "waaa waaa CCP", etc.

You might also want to note that hero run contrary to your suggestion no one can do it.

e: not to say sov doesn't have a lot of issues, but nothing proposed ITT is a solution.
