Please show where EvE is wrong as it is now.

IMO the income/asset balance should be Lowsec > Wormholes > Null sec > Hi sec

Move hi-income to LOW SEC. Away from the hi-sec 'safety' and also away from the null-sec 'overlords'. You can't claim sov in low sec, it's easily accessible from hi-sec and most null sec and you can fight to take control of it.

You came into this thread with the attitude that evil nullsec tyrants are forcing CCP to destroy hisec so they have more fodder-peons to toy with. This is a farcically asinine view of the debate generally and this thread specifically, and is simply a product of your own imagination to justify your indulgence in self-righteous forum indignation.

So, how can a solo player do industry in lowsec? The losses would not be offset by the gains in that case. Sure if you have a corp of folks who are willing to protect mining ops and so on, it would work. I have yet to meet players who enjoy guarding mining ops. Why must people suffer crappy boring duties to be able to play the game?

I am all for making newbie content teaching stuff including 0.0 but then there's always the 0.0 sperglords who come in threads and demand the game is turned into their kingdom. To those, a well deserved STFU.

Yes, that's the point we are all making. Dangerous space isn't actually that dangerous and the fear of going there is completely irrational.

And since that is true, CCP should be working to get more new players out to 0.0 before the fear of dangerous space sets in because getting existing players out there is an exercise in psychology not in gameplay design.

PS: If it really was just 'gate camps' preventing players from going to low sec, they could easily scout themselves in with a pod just before or just after downtime - perhaps the issue is more complex than you think.

I live deep in 0.0 right now, and I think that null/low/high sec can co-exist peacefully.

This is possible so long as they give each area its own purpose that doesn't directly interfere with another. However the different areas are currently balanced based off of each other, which is causing the current issue.

In the future I would suggest you don't waste your time responding to extremist ranting with your own equally extremist sperging, but it's ultimately your prerogative.

Lowsec... I'm not sure at all. I think that all of lowsec should be FW lowsec, just because what's the use of having both? it's silly. Lowsec should be practice for 0.0

Why does every topic turn into people splurging over Goons ruining Eve. ***** getting old, and your just feeding their trolling.

You could just allow newbie players the option of starting in NPC pirate space, so they can learn that 0.0 isn't the murderous death zone they think it is.

Remove local, structure mails and revamp the directional scanner. This will allow non-block players so exploring and establishing a home is possible. Having to join some power block to gain access to null should not be the only way.

I heard there was NPC null.....even if they do blob you just dock up and wait for them to go away.

......just like low-sec, with the volume turned up a bit.

As many that play this game know, there is an underlying issue that plagues EVE and that is that null and low sec players wish to have more high sec players join them in those areas of the game. This topic has been discussed in hundreds of threads across a wide spectrum of topics and often ends with neither side conceding ground. So the question is....

1) If you were CCP, how would you get more players involved in 0.0 space and low sec - without compromising or getting rid of high sec completely?

2) Would you just rather see high sec completely removed? If that is the case, how would you introduce new players into the harsh realities of a game where they can be ganked on sight just for joining the game?

3) If you believe that high sec, low sec and 0.0 can co-exist, what is your solution to bringing balanced game play to 0.0, low and high sec space that is amiable to all concerned?

Null needs to have resources that are a) worth more than low and high sec (to get people to want that space at all), b) have high value resources unique to certain regions (to make it worth fighting for someone else's space), and c) distance has to be meaningful. If you can just teleport around there's less of a need for staging or logistics. Everyone is in everyone else's crosshairs w/o any consideration of distance. If these three things are addressed, people will come to null... and the contrast between highsec and null that people want coupled with the FW changes will on it's own fix lowsec. Nullsec to highsec traffic and conflict, diminished null resources bringing in smaller corps getting a foothold, and FW traffic will populate low. It will be great for everyone.


No. Highsec is fine. Its good for nubs. It was months before I thought I was ready for lowsec. No need to force people anywhere.

See above. Already solved.

Dig it.

Well now that there is no drone poo.....where exactly is all of the morphite going to come from.

I think the biggest ship I owned was a vexor, maybe 3-4 weeks into game when I first went into low.....with my incursis of doom. Blobbling pirates lol.

That should probably be mined in nullsec, don't you think? Are there no belts in the drone regions? I've still never mined before... but as a profession I think mining is due for a bump. The talk of comet mining and moon goo being mined in planetary rings seemed pretty cool to me. tbqh I don't know what the resource distribution should be or what the unique regional resources should be... not a miner or an indy. I just know that the lack of indy/miner interest in null these days is largely responsible for nullsec's perceived value, which isn't great at the moment. I recognize the problem and (I believe) solution conceptually, but I'm not somebody who should comment on specifics of which resources. It's just not my forte.

It can only be mined in null, previously the ONLY other source was drone poo. The value was low because of the ridiculous amounts of minerals crawling out of the Bot/Drones....

So eventually the latent assets in the market are going to be depleted and mining is going to be a LOT more profitable.

Right now we make jokes about them but people DO mine as it is. Its not very widespread, because mining doesn't pay what running plexes does.
