If it brings miners to lowsec, wouldn't that be a buff?

edit: I just had an amusing thought. With the new "no warping under GCC in highsec" rule, maybe we can do what the hardcore carebears want and bring concord to lowsec...but without the warp lockdown. Evading concord would be legal and their response times in a 0.1 would be so slow it would be laughable. BUT the carebears would feel safe because Concord, giving the -10 pirates more to shoot.

While NBSI dominate most of EVE it dosent favor the PVE'er nor the Industralist very much. With most being "pirates" these days thinking its cool to be a jerk there's very little interest in NRDS or as some call it, anti-piracy.
However if you are a pirate yourself you most likely wish for highsec PVE and indy kills yourself so you can brag about your killboard fighting ships theres easier to kill than npc's.
Anyhow, NRDS is the oppesite of that imo. Theres a large coalation of alliances and corps working together to keep (atleast within the coalation) to a more mature and honorable level. It favors PVE'ers and Indy toons, yes. Some says NRDS does not fit for pvp'ers. Maybe, maybe not. Its a personal oppinion. NRDS can bring just as many kills as NBSI although you tend to fight more PVP than You vs PVE sjips.

Im not sidding NBSI on this anyways. EVE needs a bit of both but atm the NRDS are not doing well. Its more challeging so why not step up and try to be what others cant and accept a challenge? :)

Yes, im posting on an alt since main is CEO of a NRDS corp and when posting stuff like this too many make this game too personal and i hate the smacktalking so the nerds without a job can feed their online ego. Btw that dont mean all, so think before you troll me :)

If anything, NBSI favours PVE play more than does NRDS. Were this not true, then NRDS space would be full of bots rather than the bots flocking to NBSI space. With NBSI, it's immediately obvious when local is unsafe; and, whether a bot or an actual player, it is then pretty easy to get to safety before the bad guys show up to blast you. NRDS allows unknowns who've yet to do bad things the opportunity to do bad things prior to being set as red, and one of those bad things might be blowing up your PVE-fit ship. This is not a concern with NBSI. I fail to see how you figure that NRDS is safer, or a better fit, for a PVE-oriented individual whom presumably would like to keep his assets as safe as possible.

On another note, what are you even talking about with all this "pirate"-talk?


I think what he means to say is that NRDS fits in better with the PVE-oriented individual's romanticization of how EVE should be like and the RP allure of a new pilot's journey before they become disenchanted and realize that targets are targets and EVE is and will always be a numbers game.

With that, I can agree entirely. Many science fiction franchises have their morality established in such a way that NBSI's policy of shooting first and perhaps pursuing diplomatic contact later would be an affront to their stated ideals. If you come to EVE thinking you're going to be Captain Picard and win the day through charm and fastidiously tucking in your jumper, then you are likely to find yourself rudely introduced to a new clone.


Then again you have won Eve because you ARE the sky captain of our hearts.

Lol, I was implying that nerfs would come to low that would make it safer as eve is becoming a carebears dream.

Unfortunately I know quiet a few players who have well over 20 million SP who want the same thing *sigh*
