you know. there are these things called moons. generally they are semi-lucrative even after dominion. maybe that isk could go to pay sov bills rather than pay for huge cap fleets and megalomaniac directors?
just a thought...

i expected to be fighting for the right to remain in 0.0 but i expected to be fighting my darling bobbits, not a ludicrous pile of **** tax that has no relation to our current costs!
more words go here about how this is dumb and how we're going to have to bring out the pr flak cannons
so you can no longer create zero risk jump bridges and cynojam systems to protect your nap train without incurring significant costs?
cry some more

On the other hand, if you are a smaller empire alliance with a desire to go live in 0.0 you dont even have those moons. All you can hope for as starter capital is your members donations, and that can take you to a point. If space you take can not support both you as a member and you as a corporation/alliance then its not worth taking it and paying for it.
with current t2 production i woudl agree. but with the re-balancing of components there will be several different type of moons that give a decent profit, rather than one or two making insane ammnts of isk. smaller alliances will be able to capitalize on these less rare moons

No, they won't because the big alliances are still going to be there. They're just going to end up not claiming sov in many systems. They will simply maintain military presence without the sov. Small alliances will get curbstomped all the same.
how would you propose letting smaller alliances into 0.0 then? there is no real way to make up for numbers. if you allow tons of defensive upgrades at low cost to protect the small allaicnes you have the cynojammed naptrain that doesnt allow any non-established alliance in. if you hypothetically allow no defensive upgrades then you have what you are describing.
main thing i see as a step in the right direction is the high cost of jump bridges. if you want a jumpbrige chain you better damn well know it will be worth it. and be careful planning it out.
this will effectively make space bigger, less jumpbridges mean youll actually have to use stargates occasionally. which will restrict the area of influence of the bigger allainces

You answered your own question. There literally is no substitute for numbers and effort.
yes, it was a rhetorical device. there shouldnt be a substitute for numbers or effort.
Originally by: Mskpath3 Maybe people who live in empire think 0.0 alliance are all just a bunch of mouth-breathing pirates. But the logistics and management of running a full-sized 0.0 alliance are astounding. And the dedication required to defend it equally so.
All the mechanics in the world that aren't flat out "you can't shoot people in 0.0" are going to change that, ever. Anything your happy happy carebear alliance (and by you, I'm speaking in generalities)
dont think that becuase you(im speaking in generalities) are in a big alliance in 0.0 that your somehow entitled or better than everyone else,a dn that somehow eveyone who thinks differently is a cearbear
for the record, come out to wormhole space without your instant all-knowing intel tool that is local, and with out your huge blobs to hide behind(speaking in generalities here). ill show you a good time

0.0 is pure egalitarianism. Everyone has an equal chance. You want to get in? Make a play for it. Happens all the time.
no it isnt. vast swaths of 0.0 are controlled by deathstar spamming, cynojamming. jumpportal generating alliances that do so jsut because it costs pennies in POS fuel and it makes thier e-peens bigger. this the powers that be stay the powers that be

Yes, it surely is. YOU can do these things, too. Egalitarianism doesn't mean "forced fairness", like Affirmative Action. It means "fair" in which all parties involved operate under exactly the same rule set, with exactly the same available skills and oppurtunities. You can go build a BS/dread fleet and take some space.
yes, because when trying to take systems the attacker can also jumpbridge into that system and prevent defending caps from coming in. at very little cost. just like the defenders can
oh wai..
