EVE General Discussion

I have often wondered why there hasn't been a Goons witch hunt.

We talk about Null Sec as though it is greatly significant to the number of players in EVE but it is a pretty small factor. Sure, the huge battles drews some initial numbers and yes, some people dream about being ready to move out there one day. However, Chunks is right in a way.
On a day to day basis, Null Sec provides entertainment for a minority of players (who happen to play for the longest, demographically, speaking).

I know right? And we've spoiled it already, leaving rusty old Hyperions jacked up in front of the trailer and picking fights with old man Rus))) next door.

There goes the neighbourhood!

Because when everyone plays how they like to play it's called "Steam library", not "sandbox". Sandbox is about facing objective reality that isn't driven by artificial narrative.

Some players have problems with adopting a playstlye that takes that into account, seeing it as a threat to their fun. In the meantime others see a threat to their fun in publicity first group gets because who knows, CCP may get wrong idea or something...

That's really it. Now, where's my black cape of Captain Obvious?

I have removed a personal attack post.

Only took you and 7 ally alliances?

If you wanted to show your alliance aren't just Goon minions, you should have thought twice about posting proof you in fact are.

Good way to fight a war (the goon way) - Pick a fight then bring in a few thousand of your allies. Now that is what i call initiative.

That's your narrative to worry about, chief; I don't have to sweat myself supporting or refuting it to GD. I only have to log in and see who's shooting with AFs and who's shooting with BS, caps and supers.

Nullsec is empty, because people down there are worthless for what it's meant to be. They care about fun, not living and working in space. They are all seperated into big groups of likeminded people, not like in every city on earth and highsec, where it's a huge set of unconnected individuals.

Imagine a blue scamming a blue. Not happening. Suicide ganks from blue to blue. Not happening. There's a huge amount of things that never happens down there, because there's rules that do not allow the possibilities you have in any bigger city on earth, or highsec.

It's boring, in comparison.

I hope not, I've still got umbrellas to sell.

Ah. Didn't look at it for long. Thought it was all kills for the whole region.
I know Deklein is usually the region to test the acoustics with pins.

My issues with this new sov system, 12 hours into the new beast, are basically what you've stated. I've spent all day today joining home defense fleets to chase of pubbies with links. A major hope from the player base was that these changes were going to spark more 'content'. However, sitting in fleet for 3 hours chancing harassers who turn tail and run the minute you show push back is not what I would call 'content'. However this is day 1, and things are likely to slow down in the coming days. That being said, if this is what sov null is like for the next 9 years, would a wormhole corp be kind enough for me to sleep on their couch and let me do their laundry for them?
The best mechanic I liked from dominion sov was that the attacker could decide when they wanted to start the fight, that being said they had to initiate it by dropping sbu's. But that was a limited engagement, only sov structures in that system or systems that were sbu'd were vulnerable. However in this system all (emphasize all) your sov structures are vulnerable at least once a day. I would like to see an iteration on this, preferably bring back the sbu, and make it destructible via entosis link.
Now that I'm on this topic this 'fozzie-sov' doesn't really feel like a complete sov revamp. We're still using the same structures but changing the way sov changes hands from hp grind to entosis grind. Hopefully new structures later this year or next will help bring a bigger change over all.
Spending all day fighting for my space and not being able to do anything with it doesn't seem worth holding it in the first place. However I am in gsf, so you could bring up the argument that I am bias, I really can't argue against such claim, what does everyone else think? Also, I need to include this otherwise people apparently wonder why I am not doing this, so, Please notice me senpai, one day I will get you to notice me.
