"Once upon a time, people mined in nullsec belts. Nullsec alliances would organize mining ops, complete with scouts and defense ships to protect the hordes of miners and haulers. Enemy alliances and nullsec pirates would attempt to disrupt these operations with all manner of ingenious tactics. Sometimes smaller groups of miners would attempt to "ninja mine" in hostile or unclaimed territory; sometimes solo guerilla fighters would raid a target of opportunity. The PvP involved had a tendency to start small, with perhaps as few as one or two miners under attack. Reinforcements would be called in. The pirates might flee in the face of resistance, or they might be baiting a trap, inviting more targets. If the attackers had reinforcements of their own, a defending alliance would sound the trumpets and put together a defense fleet to chase them off.

In short, there were many different kinds of PvP back then: Solo PvP, small-gang PvP, medium-gang PvP, and proper fleet ops. All of this existed because of the nullsec miners. They formed the base of the food chain. Because they had to expose themselves to risk to get the reward (valuable ore), the miners created targets for PvP'ers to hunt--and these hunters became the hunted in turn."

Just to say:

Let them come, but they will not save highsec anymore. Ah, nonsense they didn't anyway.

Well that depends on your definition of carebear. Since mine is a person that thinks that they don't need to pvp if they don't want to.


Exactly!
codies think that.
Mostly everyone wants that.

Anything else would mean to be cought of foot.

Every time someone says something dumb like this, I take a stroll through CODE's killboard.

Yes, they are the absolute masters of shooting up AFK miners and haulers who can't shoot back. Going after incursion and mission runners? Errr.....I actually have an appointment with the doctor....maybe next week.

This is actually pretty much the same thing the vast majority of the "Grr Goons" people do.

When you can't hold a candle, but want to criticize?

Don't forget to derogate, and also deride.

Ah ,the old blue doughnut myth. I'd like to take a moment to remind you of the following;

1. Blue does not mean safe and carefree. CFC alliances must constantly form standing fleets to roam about and keep away the encroaching space poor hordes.

2. Some one took a huge bite out of that so-called blue doughnut, because as I browse over all CFC holdings and standings some 23 regions are currently hostile to the CFC in some form or another.

3. Those 23 regions I mention, they actually, for the most part have a greater system density on average per region than CFC holding regions.

You do realize that doesn't change the fact that you have most of null set to blue, right? You are easily in the safest, most risk free part of new eden if you are goon.

You have half the universe set to blue. That is a level of safety no other group in the game has. To say it again, if James315 and goons want more risky gameplay and better fights, stop hiding behind CFC carebears.

CODE. is not moving to nullsec because:

a.) Shoot first mentality: In nullsec, everyone shoots first and asks questions later. In highsec, people try to avoid shooting more often than not.

b.) Availability of soft targets: Nullsec has soft targets, but not nearly as many as highsec.

c.) Obfuscation of the non-combat alts. In nullsec, a nuetral is a threat and treated as such. In highsec, a neutral is just another random dude and typically ignored. The result is neutral alts providing drops on targets are not recognized for the threat they impose.

d.) Loss Responsibility: In Nullsec, it is your fault if someone kills your ship. While there are some tears, the victims accept they are in dangerous space, and everyone there wants to kill them. In Highsec, most players feel they will and should be left alone by "others", and too often blame aggressors for their losses.

I have no association from Goons. Well, beyond having some drinks with one once a month. (IRL) It's true though, a lot of goons out in null mine all day and very easy to catch off guard. Said Goon continually invites me to come out to Deklein and shoot at them (so he can form a fleet and chase me away).

41 null-sec regions total, 29 utterly hostile to us and our allies where as 12 are blue to us; the number of blue regions will decrease soon. Half, or 50% of null-sec being blue to us would mean that 20.5 systems would be blue to us. As I've shown above this is not the case at all. I think that trying to redefine the definition of the words "most" and "half" is not a good way to make your case. I would also like to point out that math is very important in life and you should seek to study it more.

We must constantly form fleets to defend our space or force project outward. You say it is safer for us in Deklein and other blue space than for any other group. I say that over 40 fleet pings in Jabber yesterday alone say otherwise.


  • A side note of the character of one's characters

    I can assume that given the young age of your character (2014/07/16 21:42) that you know little of EVE, or are hiding your main and using your alts to post. If it is the former, I would recommend you come out to null-sec and get some experience first. Understand how many ways living in null-sec, in the mythical blue doughnut is not safe on a daily basis.

    If it is the latter, that speaks much of your character. It speaks volumes of your fear and lack of confidence in your ability to make a successful argument, or even a fairly well written counterpoint. I say this because I can imagine you will retort to this by saying something to the effect of 'my main is in XXX alliance and has a huge killboard'.

    I never expected this to cause so much anger over a simple question but it does go to show that null sec is not so secure in it's thinking with the upcoming changes.

    I do feel that the there are regions of null sec that will tax the renters and landlords with security issues and if they are not met then a loss of rental income will ensue.
