As i've never lived in null, i'm gonna ask my question here: what do those big alliances do with the trillions they make each month from moons?
I've heard about reimbursement programs, but otherwise, i've never heard of regular members getting any of that isk. I always assumed CEOs&friends got their "fair share", but that wouldn't explain why regular members would show up to defend/conquer those moons for their leadership. please enlighten me |

Sov bill to concord (when we remember to pay them), capital and supercapital subsidies, fuel for cap ops, poses and the jb network and a ****-tonne of ship reimbursements. And in the case of certain alliances special projects like burn jita for the benefit of the community as a whole. |

Let's just accept that as it is, why keep so much sov? Isn't most nullsec empty and un-upgraded? |

I wouldn't say most. There is a lot that isn't upgraded, but honestly, you have to have space for 9000~ people, you're going to spread out and take up a whole lot of space. Self-appointed forums hallway monitor |

Depends on the alliance.
Goons and Test spend it on reimbursement and stuff to make the game be generally fun for the rank and file members. Other alliances buy titans and supercarriers because they want to helicoptordick everyone with them and be no fun.
I mean you don't really get any strategic level income from holding sov, so those who don't have techmoons have to rely on renters paying them. It's really disgustingly unfair to everyone who lives in the south.
By the way TEST alliance finances are open to the public. |

I dont think any alliance actually makes trillions. SRFs payout tens of billions of isk a month easily. Sov bills cost alot. The fuels to run pos's and so on at that level costs tens of billions. Alliances buy carriers, dreadnaughts, supercarriers and titans for their members. Sometimes huge rewards are given out for outstanding corps.
Not all teh moons ar erun at alliance level of course. 0din runs 5 or 6 reactions for iyself. On corp level we have another supplemental SRF, we buy capital skills for poeple and give grants towards capital hulls. We supply capital fuel for ops, our black ops division has its own budget and we are currently paying for one of our members to have a titan, once that one is bought we will start saving for teh next supercapital for a corp member. Our leadership team are paid a nominal fee of 50 mill a month wich doesnt even begin to cover the time spent doing stuff for the corp.
Basically no one should be without ships and isk, buy the first of a shiptype and after that the alliance and corp look after replacements.
Any alliance or corp that does moon reactions and doesnt do these things for the line members isnt worth fighting for.
Next question?
Trust me, I almost know what I'm doing. |

I'd call it efficiency and transparency, since if the space isn't gonna be upgraded, why keep it, and if 1k guys are gonna spend hours mobilizing to take/protect a moon, i'd imagine they would want compensation.
Also, i've just thought about it a bit, and tne thing that doesn't make too much sense, is that operating costs of tech moons for example VASTLY overshadows pos fuel costs, and the other good moons make great isk too. Honestly seems fishy to me (capitalism at its best?), but then again i don't have all the information. |

"to the public"? It doesn't look like that. Google says "no access" for those, who have a Google account.
Anyway ... i was just curious. *shrugging shoulders.* |

Thx for doing the research, but silly me, i don't trust those numbers too much.
But let's assume they're fine, why the 15% tax on the main corp for example?
edit: btw, if you haven't noticed, i ask all this because (player owned especially) nullsec seems like a scam to me |

GSF buys me a new ship when I lose it in a fight over one of those tech moons. They also provide me with a jump bridge network, plenty of outposts to live in, subsidized capital modules, unlimited free rifters, and the opportunity to shoot at all these terrible, terrible pubbies.
What, exactly, fits your definition of compensation? |

Another thing you seem to forget is that the GSF has no CTAs, zero zilch so none of has to go and defend anything. We choose to go because fights in eve are... you know... fun? |

Aren't stations/jump bridges mostly one-time expenditures? and free rifters is kind of meh, and you can pvp in any nullsec. The only tangible benefits i see would be subsidized caps and cap mods, and could be negated by the corp tax rates, right? |

that's kind of off topic, has nothing to do with repartition in null.

Actually jump bridges take a lot of fuel when they get as much volume through them as ours do (poor GSOL) that and the upgrades needed for them add on to the sov bills.
You dont seem to get the free pvp thing. It costs me nothing to welp ships. That when spread across 9000 people takes a lot of isk. |
