I guess people don't get this. The only reason there are parts of nullsec that don't belong to the signatories of this proposal is that they literally cannot be arsed to grind the EHP down to take it. A bitter vet trying to start anew. |

Instead of having to protect a dozen regions, the same people could rat the same amount of anoms just in Deklein. As a bonus: the high population density would allow ratters to use carriers/supers, as a cynojam would keep enemy capitals out and a small gang cannot break the spider tank of 50+ carriers. Not to mention that the nearest able enemy would be 5 regions away.
Fun fact: you can already kill 500k rats in one system in a month, check RQNF-9 in the Dotlan August toplist. Since 97M rats were killed, 180 systems could support all the ratters under the current mechanics. Hint: there are 3200 nullsec systems. And this isn't easy enough for you and want more nerfs?

That was my point...why make it easier for them? Sov is a mechanic keeping those on that list from grinding out the last 10%.

As I said, I am very OK with the proposed changes, but we need a nerf to caps/supers to go along with it.

Yes, I get this. And that is the point. sov is the only think keeping the remaining null not held by major alliances away from those alliances.

No you don't. If you actually wanted them nerfed, you wouldn't have so many ready to go.
If you actually wanted to give up space, you would...give up systems...A game mechanic change isn't needed for that.

This might seem like a strange question but isn't that what a high population alliance SHOULD be able to do? Defend its ratters/miners and utilize their space to make ISK? There is also a reward for playing well and being able to put 50 carriers into your general defense.
The whole idea is to make it so an entity like the CFC DOESN'T have to protect a dozen regions and others can start moving in again.

Anom incom caps out at 90 mil/hr per person.
High sec level 4 mission blitzing nets 110mil/hr+ per person.
Thats with the best null systems, most of null sec has ****** anoms to run thanks to true sec. Also, if we swap to Sheroo in high sec we see 1,286,804 NPCs were killed in a system with just a level 3 agent. (incidently SOE level 3 when blitzed in a mach will net 80 mil/hr, better than what you find in most of null systems) Join Bat Country today and defend the Glorious Socialist Dictatorship |

Why should anyone willingly give anyone else an advantage in a contest? Honor? Pity? Shame? Do you really want the game to be a charade of people living in space only because the biggest powers are holding back and allowing them too? It is a terrible argument to say someone playing by the rules doesn't want them changed. |

Null may not be fixable. We have 2 sides so powerful and established that it is not realy possible for 3rd party to do something. 3rd party limited by lack of new players and eaven if there are new players they will probably join big coalition because it is easier.
Why it was possible for faction warfare to be succesful? 2 sides fighting all the time - no cold war - actual fighting over teritory. Null is just producing supers - no war, no content.
If there would be constant war between 2 sides I think 3rd party would be reduced or at least would participate in fight if wouldn't join any side. Content for everyone. Sov wouldn't matter that much eaven for 3rd party - there would be other objectives like fun, isk, etc.
So force the war on sov would be my answer. Change mechanics to less grind but penalize side that is not fighting. Reward side that is taking sov. Like lp payouts in factional warfare.
If it is not possible to get rid of big alliances/coalitions make them fight - not rat, mission, actually fight for sov and for rewards.
1. Backend systems used for production/other activities designated by side not available for taking - still you can kill poses etc to hurt side. We don't want one side totally destroyed - we want fighting to go on. 2. Frontend systems available for taking and the main theater of war. 3. Rewards for taking/defending systems. 4. Rewards for multiple fronts of war in different places to discourage massive fleets. 5. Faction warfare had missions in systems - available to system holding side - do something like that - not missions only but premium moons, belts etc.
Whole do what you want with sov is flawed. We need rules for the game - if not ppl can refuse to play and that is what we have here - 2 biggest sides in null eve refused to play. Make them play. Create content for everyone. We need war. |

110 + is a joke, try 90 mil/hour and miserable boredom getting it....the best evidence that this is bunk is that people in nullsec aren't flocking to highsec to run missions. They are perfectly happy to rat, run missions, anoms, etc... and to make more isk/hour than highsec. The SOE L4 highsec mission hubs are pretty darn empty. Nullsec doesn't need more isk, it needs for the big alliances to cast off their risk aversion and look for some big fights instead of one sided massacres. |

So, now let's look at Goonswarm's losses/month in terms of ships lost. https://zkillboard.com/alliance/1354830081/stats/
Looks like about 800 billion isk.
How much isk does your alliance need to break even?
Anybody want to offer up an estimated balance sheet for major alliances?

X Gallentius wrote: They don't HAVE to protect a dozen regions now. What would change with the proposal?
First breaking the ability to run rentals with one large alliance (Northern Associates, Greater Western Co Properperity Sphere, BOT) makes it much harder to run the logistics of the rental empire. Jump bridges, Cyno Beacons, Blue Standings, the logistics start adding up the more pieces that get added to the puzzle.
Second they DO have to mind protecting their sov. If the CFC were to lose sov in rental systems, I guarantee renters nearby will start bailing.
Third we DO know capitals are getting nerfed. Not knowing HOW is one of the elephants in the room making this conversation difficult. If jump drives get nerfed, the N3/CFC ability to run rentals on an occupancy based sov system gets iffy. No slowcat/boot blobs. Extortion threats become smaller if you're not next door.

ITT: Established sov alliances want dense, fortified space cities where they and their renters can rat in safety, away from the scary fozzie-ceptor gangs. Also, sprinkling about npc stations literally everywhere to counter any power projection nerf would be greeaaaat.
Oh, and much faux-concern over the hypothetical small, independent sov entity, with little actual change to the existing coalition meta. |

X Gallentius wrote: You extract rent from them already even though it's their sov. What would change?
It is not the renters SOV...it is PL's, CFC's, and NCDOT's SOV.
Our SOV, but the renters live there.
Maintaining it as it is would be easy even if the proposal was implemented. Just continue to own and control the alliances holding the SOV. Anyone not willing to be part of the SOV holding alliance will get dunked by the mother alliance/coalition if they try to gain a foothold. So on that part we probably agree (even though we most likely disagree on the details). |

Andski wrote:Nullsec leaders holding conquerable space have come together to put forth an open letter to CCP expressing their dissatisfaction with the Dominion sovereignty system and stating their support for occupancy-based sovereignty mechanics. The letter further states a need for more NPC 0.0 space within conquerable regions for the sake of increasing activity in 0.0, especially much-needed small-scale combat, as a lot of conquerable systems are over 25 jumps from NPC space. Lastly, to support the concept of occupancy-based sovereignty, the need for an expansion of systems to support more player density is also expressed. This statement has been signed by the leaders of the constituent alliances of the CFC, N3 and HERO coalitions, those of non-coalition actors such as PL and Pizza, various current and former CSM delegates and community opinion leaders. The open letter can be read here. Ok I was all for this concept. If it is being supported by goonies, then I have to admit I am a little nervous. Goonies never support anything they cannot exploit. |
