So for a long time EVE has defied MMO trends and continued to increase its subscriber base. This is, of course, because the players (and to some extent the devs) have been creating new content.
But EVE today, at least 0.0 EVE, is largely static. For the past 2 or 3 months, after the collapse of Kenny, nothing significant has changed on the sov map. A few minor alliances (looking at you IRC) have fail cascaded, the drone Russians have taken a few more systems, CVA has dropped some more stations, the NC has added a few more blues.
But nothing significant has changed; there have been no backstabs, no compromising spy leaks, not even any game-changing battles (there have been a few large cap battles, but thanks to the resources available to the alliances involved in said battles, the impact was actually slight).
I took a look at the recruitment forums today, and noticed that there were virtually no 0.0 alliances recruiting. A few unimportant NPC groups (like Blade.) were looking for fresh blood, and a few of the bottom tier pets were trying to expand their tax base. But there were none of posts I used to see during the Delve war, with Bob pets and NC pets all clamouring for new players.
The character bazaar, usually turning over pages at a breakneck pace, was moving sluggishly. Posts from yesterday could be seen on the front page. Few auctions had more than one or two bids.
And in a final testament to this malaise, timecode prices have evidently dropped almost a hundred mil from their high.
Maybe DUST will fix this, maybe CCP can find some other way of encouraging people to keep playing this game. But without heroes and villains and wars of 10,000 player coaliions, there isn't much reason to keep logging in each day.
Eve is dying. Both powerblocks are sitting on their hands waiting for the other to make the first move. Meanwhile their players stop logging in.

It is like this every year, then September comes and something changes, like last year Goons losing 90% of its land, TCF getting humilated and moving north, just wait a few weeks things will change.

Eve is dying. Both powerblocks are sitting on their hands waiting for the other to make the first move. Meanwhile their players stop logging in.
For most players, the game isn't in null sec. Something like nine in ten players do other things, and most of them care only peripherally about 0.0 goings-on. Most of them don't read the boards or care about board-spam either, and don't have anything to do with major alliance "heroes and villains".. they're their own heroes, and their villains are the can-flippers, freelance salvagers, and war-deccers.
PLEX/timecode prices were inflated and are adjusting naturally to fall in line with the actual demand for their use, as upwards speculation has run it's course for now. There's actually a dev blog regarding this.
Your case for the iminent demise of EVE is not compelling.

Yup this pretty much sums it up, 0.0 isnt as popular as 0.0 alliance make it out to be, while the activity is high there sometimes majority of even 0.0 alliances remain in empire. However saying that it would be nice for a decent 'drama' in 0.0, after BoB went MIA it has been pretty boring and C&P are far more entertaining than the 'I BLUE you' drama in 0.0.
I dont see EvE dying, in fact it has increased in popularity over the past year and offers more that other MMOs, but I do see 0.0 losing its popularity, after all nothing but name calling and NAPs happen there,..

0.0 is a means to an end tbh, but that doesnt mean I dont like it, it does work well with RL history of commanding and conquering with propaganda deception and lies, I just hope it doesnt turn into RL where everyone holds hands and tells make out stories in their underwear, but it seems it may be leeding to that.
Real piracy and action happens within empire, 0.0 generally became popular through verite, people wish to grow their own empite but fail to pay attention to what needs to be resized ;)
Eitherway EvE isnt dead nor will be dying for a VERY long time,..

Edited by: Ekon Bor on 26/08/2009 03:25:32 I assume (and acknowledge that it's only part of your argument) that one of the reasons GTC's might have fallen in price is this whole Unholy Rage (idiotic name btw) mass-ban thing? If that's working (and I have nfi whether it is or not) then that would presumably mean, less black isk is available; and so the price of isk, both legit and otherwise, rises - so what you get for a GTC on-market goes down?

People! TO THE ESCAPE PODS! WE MUST FLEE THE END!
Now for a serious response: I've never been a 0.0 PvPer (re: IMA CAREBEAR), but I've always enjoyed playing EVE's Empire side. Then, one day, I discovered wormholes and the game was re-invented for me. So quit whining because your favorite part of EVE is stale because people have consolidated their power. That's how both life and EVE work. The most you can hope for now is for CCP to go all anti-trust on their asses and do a forced Sov reset. That'd make things really hilarious.

This may be the case, but how many of those empire accounts are actually alts (very much like this one ) of people who live in 0.0?
As well, one of the main selling points of Eve is the sandbox of 0.0, I think that's what attracts people to this game and generally motivates them, even if they spend almost the entirety of their game time in empire. CCP ignores 0.0 at their own risk.

troll thread, i realize that, but i'm on a one man quest to make CAOD not suck, so serious answer:
sov map changes in the past 3 months since the collapse of kenny: - irc lost space - ed lost space - RA lost space, RA regained space - UNL lost space, taken by AGGRO, AGGRO lost space, taken by Init - atlas growth - minor threat / krautbreak / CoW take space, i think all but MT lost it already - kraftwerk got ejected - scorch attack TCF, TNT attacks scorch - incoherent drone regions drama - NC moving into the east
and that's just while my burning man dubstep playlist is copying to my craptop -- Check out my EVE cartoons |

Basicly...CCPs banning of all the macro accounts have made all iceproducts skyrocket in price. That made pos spamming and fueling our capital fleet a really costy affair bankrupting us in the prossess.
Combined with EBANKS freezing off all our war-reserves, we are basicly broke as hell, and therefor stopped all major capital operations and wars.

Static 0.0 has several reasons:
- Cynojammers + multiple titans
- Insane high moon income leaving almost no chances for newcommers
- Current sov system which allows to maintain sov even when not controlling the system
CCP is going to change at least the sov system with the winter expansion. If they then would change the moon income and especially the cyno jammer nonsense, then 0.0 would become very dynamic and interesting again.

Edited by: Diehard Si on 26/08/2009 12:46:44 Eve is far from dead, but its starting to get a very bad cough.
Too many titans Too many DD's Too many stupid changes by CCP killing small roaming gangs ( scanner, nano nerf etc ) Pos warfare is probably the single worst element of any MMO ever created. From deploying them taking hours, to shooting them, to hiding in them, to it counting towards sov and not occupancy, to cynojammers, to the silly price of dysprosium. Too many nap fests and power blobs. Too much isk in game to be honest.
I'd strangely like to see the servers reset. Start again. Maybe keep 50% skills, but all assets, ships, pos's wiped out. 5,000 isk in wallet for everyone. Would be funny. Everyone always says those early days were the best, well have them again then ;)

Eve will never die as long as there are no better spacey MMO's to play. When a serious competitor does eventually come along CCP better fix the longstanding issues of:
Titans Jump Bridges Size of universe Lack of content and exceptionally boring non player generated content Dumbing down of the game - mostly pvp (boosters and heat donÆt compensate for nano nerf)
We know it - they better know it

Originally by: Master Mnemosyne So for a long time EVE has defied MMO trends and continued to increase its subscriber base. This is, of course, because the players (and to some extent the devs) have been creating new content.
But EVE today, at least 0.0 EVE, is largely static. For the past 2 or 3 months, after the collapse of Kenny, nothing significant has changed on the sov map. A few minor alliances (looking at you IRC) have fail cascaded, the drone Russians have taken a few more systems, CVA has dropped some more stations, the NC has added a few more blues.
But nothing significant has changed; there have been no backstabs, no compromising spy leaks, not even any game-changing battles (there have been a few large cap battles, but thanks to the resources available to the alliances involved in said battles, the impact was actually slight).
I took a look at the recruitment forums today, and noticed that there were virtually no 0.0 alliances recruiting. A few unimportant NPC groups (like Blade.) were looking for fresh blood, and a few of the bottom tier pets were trying to expand their tax base. But there were none of posts I used to see during the Delve war, with Bob pets and NC pets all clamouring for new players.
The character bazaar, usually turning over pages at a breakneck pace, was moving sluggishly. Posts from yesterday could be seen on the front page. Few auctions had more than one or two bids.
And in a final testament to this malaise, timecode prices have evidently dropped almost a hundred mil from their high.
Maybe DUST will fix this, maybe CCP can find some other way of encouraging people to keep playing this game. But without heroes and villains and wars of 10,000 player coaliions, there isn't much reason to keep logging in each day.
Eve is dying. Both powerblocks are sitting on their hands waiting for the other to make the first move. Meanwhile their players stop logging in.
I'm sorry that your preferred alliance and their former power bloc were horrible and they lost all their space. So of course this means that Eve is broken and will surely die now. Hopefully though, with helpful posts like this, CCP will unbreak Eve and allow those who were too horrible to hold space before, be able to become relevant again and somehow take their space back and hold onto it this time.(thus saving Eve) -----------------------------------------------
Are GoonSwarm ever going to be allowed to build up in any way in 0.0 space again? No.

Originally by: Master Mnemosyne So for a long time EVE has defied MMO trends and continued to increase its subscriber base. This is, of course, because the players (and to some extent the devs) have been creating new content.
But EVE today, at least 0.0 EVE, is largely static. For the past 2 or 3 months, after the collapse of Kenny, nothing significant has changed on the sov map. A few minor alliances (looking at you IRC) have fail cascaded, the drone Russians have taken a few more systems, CVA has dropped some more stations, the NC has added a few more blues.
But nothing significant has changed; there have been no backstabs, no compromising spy leaks, not even any game-changing battles (there have been a few large cap battles, but thanks to the resources available to the alliances involved in said battles, the impact was actually slight).
I took a look at the recruitment forums today, and noticed that there were virtually no 0.0 alliances recruiting. A few unimportant NPC groups (like Blade.) were looking for fresh blood, and a few of the bottom tier pets were trying to expand their tax base. But there were none of posts I used to see during the Delve war, with Bob pets and NC pets all clamouring for new players.
The character bazaar, usually turning over pages at a breakneck pace, was moving sluggishly. Posts from yesterday could be seen on the front page. Few auctions had more than one or two bids.
And in a final testament to this malaise, timecode prices have evidently dropped almost a hundred mil from their high.
Maybe DUST will fix this, maybe CCP can find some other way of encouraging people to keep playing this game. But without heroes and villains and wars of 10,000 player coaliions, there isn't much reason to keep logging in each day.
Eve is dying. Both powerblocks are sitting on their hands waiting for the other to make the first move. Meanwhile their players stop logging in.

Titans Jump Bridges Size of universe Lack of content and exceptionally boring non player generated content Dumbing down of the game - mostly pvp (boosters and heat donÆt compensate for nano nerf)

@Master Mnemosyne: You write that there jas been no signifigant changes the last three months. Dont forget that summertime has always been rather stagnant. Taking and defending entire systems tends to be complex and time consuming. Summer on the northern hemisphere usually means loss of active players. There have been sov. changes. They might not be as sweeping, as can be accomplished by forcing a drop of sov., but they have been happening.
The markets have also been behaving in a typical summer fashion. Demand outstripping supply on many labourintesive products is nothing new.
The interesting developments this summer have been less obvious. The usual race for high-end moons has not stopped and previously allied enteties have opened hostilities.
All is well. All is at is should be. EvE IS dying, but as a pod pilot, YOU are immportal (see how that works.)

Coalitions only work because players want it too work. If people get bored with it things will change. That's the nature of the game. If u don't want to be in a 0.0 alliance/coalition, there r plenty of PvP groups out there that go out and **** 0.0 carebears.
IMO The only game mechanic that endangers the game is doomsdays. Many potentially very fun fights don't even happen because of the threat of doomsdays, which imo is ******ed for a game. And yes, I know titans have been dieing at an increased pace, giving some players in the game that ultimate kick of killing a titan, but I doubt this offsets the crippling impact that doomsdays have on the game. Just nerf or remove them from the game already.

Removing local makes it virtually impossible to harass the carebears of a space holding alliance. They know you're roaming their space. They see you jumping into their systems because they have scouts. But you don't know which system they're in. With the current scanning mechanics, or any other for that matter, it is just next to impossible to gank anyone who isn't completely careless. And those guys you can gank now just as well. That's not the solution you want...
Ask for something more creative. What about removing stargates, respectively change them? Like you know, make them sort of acceleration gates, that don't land you at a predictable point but at a random spot in the destination system. Et voila, mindless blobcamping incoming gates is history. Just a thought though...

My point is that I took and give a lot to this game in this last years,and i hope this game,this community will be with me for many years on,sure a lot of thinks changed and more will do but i still find it best online game atm.

They should remove the doomsday, but in stead give it massive bonus to the fleet it belongs to and massive staying power, so it could actualy take part on the battle field for prolonged periods of time (not just nano warp in and out). Perhaps for the capital guns in the highslot it would have x2 or x4 the damage and better tracking so it was a thread to Battleships. Something similar should be done to get the motherships back in use. The insta kill of 200 ships are really only fun for the Titan pilot and leave 200 players unhappy that they did not really have a chance to fight it out.
A suggestion for the staying power could be something like this: Shield and armor more or less as they are now, so carrier support would be great to really keep it going. but alone these would fail quickly and the titan would rely on a build in hull rep, that at least would be able to keep 20-40 hac/bs at bay for a looong time. We can argue all night about where we cut the line, but I think you get the idea.
To sum it up we need the titans out of the pos and on the battlefield without killing everyone in 1 second. It had to be fun both for the titan pilot as well as everyone else.

Too bad isn't it.. I've always posted from my own opinion and i have always wanted what is best for the game and PvPers. Anything making life easier for the carebears isn't in my interest since EVE is first and foremost a PvP-game. Want to carebear in peace?, play WoW.
All i want, is the old EVE back where good fleetfights was as regular as the sun rising and setting every day. To day, EVE is filled with forum-warriors and pilots who measures their competence by how many killmails they have after the day is gone. What i want is for each and every pilot to experience the fun of a 1-2 hour fleetfight, with no fear of a titan DD or Hotdrop, just slugging it out at a gate somewhere. And no matter if you win or lose, you will have enjoyed the fight.

It was CCP's failure in developing ALLIANCE SECURITY which gave you the victory served on a silverplatter. Don't take credit for something you didn't contribute in. If our alliance hadn't been wrongfully removed due to CCP's ****up, BoB would still be around, kicking your ass.
The funny thing is that CCP is probably more happy then you are that BoB is gone because they don't have to listen to the accusations of being in bed with BoB anymore.

Just curious. How did alliances ever hold space before the current Sov system was put in place? I mean, alliances somehow managed to hold space before Sov 3 cyno jammers & jump bridges and Sov 4 constellation Sov was added to game. I seem to recall that we threw you guys out of DG earlier this year after Sov was removed through the efforts a spy and we did a pretty good job of defending our space in Teneriffs and Detorid against you guys back in 2007.(long before all the new Sov mechanics were added to the game)
It should actually be an embarassment to your horrible former alliance that they folded up so quickly and lost that much space in in such a short period time simply because they didn't have relatively newly introduced Sov mechanics to prop up them up.

The funny thing is that CCP is probably more happy then you are that BoB is gone because they don't have to listen to the accusations of being in bed with BoB anymore.
Just curious. How did alliances ever hold space before the current Sov system was put in place? I mean, alliances somehow managed to hold space before Sov 3 cyno jammers & jump bridges and Sov 4 constellation Sov was added to game. I seem to recall that we threw you guys out of DG earlier this year after Sov was removed through the efforts a spy and we did a pretty good job of defending our space in Teneriffs and Detorid against you guys back in 2007.(long before all the new Sov mechanics were added to the game)
It should actually be an embarassment to your horrible former alliance that they folded up so quickly and lost that much space in in such a short period time simply because they didn't have relatively newly introduced Sov mechanics to prop up them up.

lol, they weren't accusations, there were confessions.
also since CCP helped you get their in the first place by giving you hilariously broken filthy rich space + helped you with tech 2 bpos. It seems only fitting they should be responsible for your demise.
you big up their **** up. but you dont big up all the **** they gave you before. ------

There are only 2 serious problems with eve right now:
1. Dread fleet combat is a boring numbers game that does not allow for innovation or skill, primarily due to the fact that they can't move, or be repped while in siege.
2. Conquering space is so tedious that once you have space, you don't typically want more.
The 2 issues above are what generate napfests more than anything else. Conquering space is so boring that bringing 5000 friends is the only way to make it bearable because it goes faster. And large capfights are all about numbers, so even the worst carebear alliances can hold their own against the best PvP alliances as long as they have equal number of dreads on the field and know how to focus fire.
That being said, EVE is far from dead.

By Goons, you mean KIA, SoT, PL, Razor, MM, Zaf, TCF yeah?, Goons barely did anything but sit in rifters (max of 2 who ended up dying AFK ftw) at the Nol gate, only people in stations never got out, no biggy.
I like how you take all the credit considering you did the least effort, you didnt even set up the bubbles, I think that was PL / SoT, what exactly other than pressing a button and spam did you guys do btw? Also what exactly are you doing now that doesnt involve spamming / trolling?
As I have said many times, Goons are insignificant and will be dead in the next few months anyway, no one finds them a threat and no one really cares much for them, apparantly not even their allies by the looks of things :P
Querious was left to NC and at the time PL went to play with puppetmasters you guys barely got anything done, I think it has been proven time and time again which alliances did something, and having a name on the sov map doesnt mean you did all or even 10% of the work, it just means you have the most (not all, your 'allies' need moons too you know) moons in the system :P

Its just crap when you cna get about 1,000 people ready for a fight to be ended by 3 people pressing 1 button and wiping most of them out.
so the way to avoid it is to go for small gang warfare, which CCP choses to nerf at every available opportunity.

So with that said the only thing left to change would be to make the Jump Clone timer 72 hours instead of 24. This would put more pressure on breaking up the NAPT since the strategies could be developed around pos timers and multiple attacks on different fronts. Would keep people closer to home and not ping-ponging back and forth covering multiple frontlines.

Titan DDs aren't really an issue. (Titan) Jump bridges and jump freighters are a much bigger problem. They made EVE way too small. Much like airplanes made the earth a lot "smaller".
If you can't adapt from the "warp everyone to the same point in a blob" strategy, then it is your fault that you just got wiped out by three titans. If a single dictor can mean your demise, then don't blame the titans. It could've been 10 stealth bombers instead and the effect would have been teh same.

I admit i will hear quite enthusiastic defenders of this "once" fine MMO Game, yes, itŠs just a game.. a game losing it, not fun to play anymore, not exciting as few years ago. I must admit i even miss the old ASCN days, when more prepared players kept the universe of eve protected, or tried, from the obvious harm of huge Alliances (not mentioning "Bob" fiasco involving GMŠs) ItŠs not a fun game anymore, period. im not touching IRC name, Goons... AAA... not anyoneŠs falt, game became boring, predictable and i really hope not irreversible boring... You can defend your vicious points... but canŠt silence what is passing trough your mind right now... "Yep, this guy is right.. Eve is Dead"
Advice to CCP? .. nah.. none... those guys are way too far from reality to be touched by "nonsense" me.
Meanwhile, i keep paying my 2 chars U$ 15 box every month.. waiting for a miracle that can resuscitate my desire of login in the game.

That actually brings up a much broader point: travel in eve is much too easy. In particular, shipping is too easy. Back in '03-'06 most combat involved attacking people who were trying to move stuff from point A, to point B, or people that were just roaming. Now when people want to move stuff from point A to point B, they load it in their JF and right click jump to a pos, then jump again. Because of this, there are very few people who can successfully have fun and make some cash pirating the 0.0/empire chokepoints. Most people don't even bother flying ships to and from empire. They just put them in their carrier or jump freigher for the risk free ride back. Granted, camping cyno gens and jump bridges can be profitable and somewhat fun, but it also means you're sitting there staring at empty space for hours and hours waiting for somebody to come through.
Of course, ease of shipping is essential to maintaining the giant pos networks everybody in 0.0 is forced to maintain. Without that, pos's would become even more of a logistical nightmare than they already are. I don't see a good solution without a major overhaul of game mechanics.

JF are the main problem of this all. You easy can run large alliance infrastructures with a handful of ppl.
1 - We need mobile Cyno-Scramblers that work also in Empire low sec. This will a) increase the losses to pirates and make it possible that smaller group/alliance can disturb the logistic of larger alliances. And b) it will increase the need for escorts for the transports = more pvp
2 - Jumpbrigde must be able to hacked and turn offline for a while via covert ops/blackops (fe. codebreaker)
3 - Decrease the need of R64 by 50% and increase the need of low moon material in the production. This will balance the marketprice and income of the alliances.

Virtually every war in the last year was fought for R64s. If you do this without some other buff to 0.0 you just encourage even more people to join the 90% of eve that lives in Empire.

I actually agree with the premise that Eve is dying off. What is there to do in this game now? Roam around for 7 hours and get a caracal kill an hour? That is supposed to be fun? There are 3 games being designed right now (MMOs or partial MMOs) where the PVP is intellectual, difficult and persistent. Eve never even had persistent PVP. For years I have participated in "epic" battles lasting as long as 7-8 hours where literally 30 people died because the game cannot handle it.
At some point you have to say to yourself "what is there really to do in Eve Online?" Is there ANYTHING to do in Eve Online? Not really.
What Eve needs is a massive, massive, massive, complete, total, absolute, unequivocal revamp. Completely and totally change 0.0.
There are no compromises here. Change it completely. Back to the drawing board. Every single aspect. If you want to make money off it, then make it an expansion pack for 0.0 play and people will buy it.

reiterating a couple points i liked here plus a couple more
-no more JF in empire -make POS's hackable by black ops (sorry, did i just shut your cyno jammer off for 5 minutes?) -No more static moons -make jump bridges much more expensive to use (remains invaluable tool for moving a fleet. maybe not so hot for just hauling stuff) -bring warp to 15 back. give all bookmarks a random 15km deviation when warped to (making them useless for traveling)
op is crazy, plenty of action in eve still. though i do think we could provide incentive for the bigger blocks to not be so friendly to each other. i think if moon resources were not static, you would find the borders on the influence map would move around a lot more.
0.0 should be a constant race for resources, not a blob and sit-on-it until bigger blob comes.
it should be significantly more difficult to move the resources around once they are gained.
i'd ***** about the sov system, but that's getting redone anyways. eve is dying? it hasn't even started yet. eve should be ready to come out of beta sometime in 2016 ---------- Hey, sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I'd never know 'cause I wouldn't eat the filthy mother*****r |

I'm not going to bother arguing about anything else. But I must wonder: has anyone who wants this actually setup a moon and done moon mining? The act of scanning down moons, settng up a POS, and pouring in funds for the tower, mods, and initial chunk of fuel is daunting and extremely time consuming. Keeping them defended and supplied is only a trivial issue for ****ty moons. Implementing this would be terrible.
Thankfully, CCP will never listen to you.

no, in fact out of thousands of players, your the only one. 
your right, implementing it would be a nightmare. fitting since the whole damn sov and pos system is already such a pile of poop. good thing it's getting revamped (hopefully for the better)
if you could think beyond your next troll you might be able to consider that it could be implemented in a good way.
if you could remove some of the monotony from the current system you would find it wouldn't be too much work for ppl to have to run around their system/constellation looking for their next vein of dyspro. it adds competition, uncertainty, all the things that make eve awesome. blobs facing off over a known moon location for all of time... well that kind of embodies all the things ppl hate about 0.0
pointing out the flaws of a system we already know is flawed is no great brainchild. citing them as the only reason not to implement an otherwise good idea only highlights the need for reworking. ---------- Hey, sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I'd never know 'cause I wouldn't eat the filthy mother*****r |

Virtually every war in the last year was fought for R64s. If you do this without some other buff to 0.0 you just encourage even more people to join the 90% of eve that lives in Empire.
The 0.0 will not change much and there are ABC ores and rats. No need for more to keep the ppl there.

I'm glad we have the likes of Betty Boom and the Klingons to lead us out of the dark ages of eve. If they choose to find us worthy of their presence, maybe, just maybe, we all will have a chance to glean some little snippets of their intellectual genius and be able to apply it to both in game and our real life.

I agree they shoudnt be static as that would cause t2 prices to go atleast 5 times higher. instead they should bring in "alot" more moons with the regions getting expanded and split the 64s up so prom and dyspo aren't the only ones really used.

The problem is all those lovely things ccp introduced which everyone thought was a good idea at the time.
The things which make logistics and movement so easy are the real problem. When someone can undock a half dozen jump freighters and jump them from dock range of a station to a few k from a pos sheild right beside a jump bridge into a sov 4 system, and when they only need to get a clear 5 minutes in the whole day to do this, this is where the oppurtunities for pretty much any size of fight dissappers.
No soloing hoping to catch some guy making his way back from empire with his cargo full of shopping (his corp brought it down by JF). No roaming gang intercepting a freighter op (hated them at the time but they were soo intense) moving hard won minerals (they went by JF instead). No gate camp catching the guy trying to move his ratting bs down from empire (it came by carrier). No system lockdown to hurt an enemies economy (they only need 5 mins to bring in the JFs and they jumpclone to empire to run lvl 4s for isk). Camping guys into station is pointless when they can just JC out. Taking space is harder because the enemy can move stupid amounts of pos and fuel really easily with a few guys and jump fleets about with titans and jump bridges.
Of course some people are too stupid or too poor to use jump frighters, carriers, titans and jump bridges, so there will always be some fights, just not enough.
If they really want to keep jump freighters and jump bridges in the game (the genie is probably out of the bottle) they need to make them more killable. Cynos shouldn't be able to be put up so near to pos sheilds or stations. Cyno ships (and their pilots) shouldn't be so disposable. Jump bridges should be easier to incap. Titans should get stuck in place longer when using their jump bridge and shouldn't be able to light it near pos sheilds.

Edited by: Alekanderu on 05/09/2009 12:48:51 anyone suggesting that 0.0 be nerfed or made less profitable in any way is dumb, the only real advantage 0.0 has over empire right now are the r64 moons, and that's only for alliance level income
there's a reason for why most players run level 4 missions in highsec in complete safety for personal income, as opposed to ratting in 0.0 which, while often a little more profitable, also has severe disadvantages such as having to compete with other ratters for ratting space, and getting ganked; the only real advantage 0.0 ratting has is the chance to get faction/officer spawns, and that only happens in the best systems
if anything, "average" 0.0 (ie the 95% that doesn't have either very low truesec or valuable moons) needs a massive boost in profitability; this has to be combined with a feature that somehow makes it easier for new alliances to establish themselves in 0.0 while also somehow preventing established alliances from being able to exert control too easily
i really don't think empire space should be anything other than a newbie area and a marketplace - it certainly shouldn't be able to compete with 0.0 in terms of profitability, which is what high quality level 4 missions allows today
obviously ccp will never ever remove level 4 missions from highsec since this would cause a massive exodus of empire players, so what they should do is simply make the alternative more attractive
Originally by: Snot Shot So with that said the only thing left to change would be to make the Jump Clone timer 72 hours instead of 24. This would put more pressure on breaking up the NAPT since the strategies could be developed around pos timers and multiple attacks on different fronts. Would keep people closer to home and not ping-ponging back and forth covering multiple frontlines.
.
this is a terrible idea so i'm not surprised at all that it's you posting it
a 72 hour jump clone timer would massively increase annoyance for all individual players while also not providing any real benefits, since people would just use no/cheaper implants and pod jump instead
