You are right, null-sec is a bit static, but adding more outposts on its own won't solve the issue. If anything null-security space is already over-saturated with them right now.

What needs to be done first is to make Outposts destructible. Destroy one and all the stuff inside goes kaboom, and is dropped with regular loot mechanics. When that is in place and running, then we can think about ways to have more than one outpost per system.


Madness, making outposts destructible would be a massive mistake. Kill a few titans and you dent an alliance's force projection. Kill a couple of Outposts and you can destroy an alliance and most of the assets of a few players.

Are CCP trying to make Eve a purely space based PvP experience, or do you still want a dynamic unique player driven economy with the most mixed group of hardened griefers, capital wielding PvP experts, explorers, miners, and spreadsheet obsessed industrialists?

Some of these changes are superb, others like this are killing the game and making it a two sided null sec bloc war, which is utterly contrary to your supposed goal of smaller alliances forging their path.

Industrialist - currently renting in null sec.
