I just resubscribed yesterday and just found out that POS are only for 0.0-0.1 space.
I resubscribed, looked foward to joining a mining corp in like 0.4-0.7 space where with a refinery, and moon miner, shield, missle and gun POS to defend against NPC's. Now I find out its only for 0.0-0.1 space. Cant say im too excited about it.
I only have 2,000,000 experience points, 8,000,000 ISK in the bank, a thorax (almost to battleship too) and Iteron V. Even then, I cant afford to go waltzing through 0.0 space, I can barely defend myself in 0.5 space against NPC's.
Im not a carebear by choice, but by necessity.

Edited by: Focht on 09/10/2004 22:49:05 Lets spell it out, your char is 2-2.5 month old, cant yet fly a battleship and you talk already about state of the art technology?
Eve is a teamgame, your skillpoints dont matter if you join a corp of m8s and work together with them (mining in 0.0 space in teams is even possible in cruisers if you have a guard).
You need to get some more skillpoints and join a corp and invest some more time playing (making isk) then all the shiva additions (remember they are for the advanced players alike as for the new ones) will be open for you. So u must understand pos is not for empire space (especially since empire space has already tons of stations). Empire space is and always was a space for the newer players and in natural you should use more advanced ships and more advanced tech the further you go out with 0.0 beeing the open sea full of sharks. Keeping that in mind POS should be there for the deep sea and not for the flat beaches.

Edited by: Carebear Barney on 09/10/2004 22:59:32 I believe that we need to hear a confirmation from CCP. I'm in the same boat as you.. and I have less skills points then you.
I would like CCP should tell us the truth of the matter now, so we can make the decision whether or not we should cancel our account.
I think POS should be available to anyone new or old in the game and buildable in all security systems. I came into the game wanting to have a small mining corp. My character isn't a fighter, but a miner. I want to run a corp of ppl who specialize in mining. I don't want to be forced into having a corp that looks like everyone elses corp with fighters, etc.
There are many ppl who play this game in a casual and social way, not PvP.. remember that please.. and will simply quit if POS are only for certain ppl in the game. I'd support doing the same.
CCP will certainly injure their business income profits by turning away thousands of ppl who are attracted to the POS but turned off by not being able to have one.

First of all to the last poster...EvE is a team game...that's your personal opinion monkey. CCP has never stated or eluded to that.
Second...please post a link to where it says Starbases will only be 0.0 and 0.1 space. If this is true...I certainly won't be staying around.
Thanks, MrBinary

You do realise what multiplayer means do you ? Why are there corps if freelancers have better chances ? The game is a community/team game and was designed like this from the first step (you cant be a jack of all trades and corps always need some interaction between members, may it be alts or a single char.

Some people who play this game must suck. I have less than 1.3 million skill points and ive been hutning rats in 0.0 in my cruiser for weeks. The only thing I cant kill where I am is battleships.
I have 550 million right now in my wallet. I started EVE (for the first time) 2 months ago. If I felt like it, in 4 days time I could be piloting a Raven. I am one to beleive, however, that one should have sufficent skills to back up his investment. I shall wait to buy a BS. Besides..I have no need. I will construct a POS when they come out, however..and pay (either by isk or by giving them access rights) people to defend it. :)
So...no, you are a cearbear by choice...not necessity.

LOL I love people who are like this. No skill. No ability to adapt. No creativity. no sense of what FUN is. They just want everything handed to them on a silver platter. They constantly whine about how much CCP sucks and how CCP makes all sorts of evil horrible decisions...
Why don't you just quit and give me all your stuff, noob?

Thats your problem. Spend a couple days to get some medium turrets and MWD and you can fight 95% of the rat npcs you run into.

I tried NPC hunting before with my thorax in 0.5 space. There is nearly zero ISK to be maded compared to mining, I dont understand.

Why must everyone in the game be alike? Is this game for the masses of ppl or just certain ppl who are into only one playing style like player killers?? Don't we have the choice to specialize? I know many ppl who love just mining and building ships, etc.

well, you know. I dont mind PVP, only problem I see is that it takes mounds of battleships to do it in 0.0 space. What about smaller corp battles in empire space? Wouldnt that be exciting too? Destroyer and frigate fleets fighting over POS in empire space would be fun and less expensive too.

I see you are a nice person and will therefore change my tone.
Yeah... mining will get you more money faster if you do it right. From day 2 of my EVE life I went to a 0.0 system (EC-P8R) and began mining crokite while dodging npc and player pirates. You can do this too, if you are intelligent.
Or you could join a corp or alliance that has complete control over a system with valuable ores in it and WORK AS A TEAM (this is a mmo) to get good results.
In terms of making awesome money by hunting NPCs... you migth need a battleship for that..but even a cruise makes an OK amount killing NPCs in 0.0...esp if it finds some "named" pirates and/or really good named modules.

No one said everyone needs to be alike. I simply said if she spend some skill points in medium turrets and MWD she could kill many of the NPCs in 0.0. I dont think this will be possiblre by using industrial ships and mining lasers.
Should could, however, hire a BS fighter pilot to protect her while she mines some valuable stuff.
She has many options.
