A couple of things come to mind when reading through this. Especially as a small corp CEO with an eye to retruning to 0.0 and anticipating the upcoming release.
- Costs for a small industrial corp (under 25 people) are pretty rough
- Can't see any of the big alliances "allowing" us near them. There is no benifit I can see for them to change their current mode of "renting" to prevent griefing.
- Costs are not prohibitive for the currnet high-end moon holders. Even with a reduced profitability of moons, will still be more than enough to pay the bill and a lot more.
That's about it. I am still keenly interested in carving out a little piece of the pie for my corp but, i think I will have to wait and see how this plays out.
Side note for the folk currently in 0.0 alliances. Umm .. your personal ISK is only small because your alliance doesn't share any of the untold billions of passive ISK monthly from moons. And now they want a tax on the individual out there?
Nothing especially witty to say at this time. |

That's because my personal isk are my personal isk, FYI. They're for strategically useless expenditures, like buying a few hundred exotic dancers to put in my cargo during ops, or losing weirdly fitted guardians while flying solo.
My alliance (or corp, rather. Alliances don't have wallets as per game mechanic) is handing me free dreads, battleships, logistics, dictors however. Guess how those are being paid for..or the jump bridge infrastructure i can use for free. The fuel for my capitals that i get for free. All the little things that i get for free because in the end i'm one of the guys helping to sustain that stuff.
So, you get your PvP on for free? Is what you're saying?
So, why all the consternation by folk about their ISK making in 0.0 ?
I seem to be missing somthing here? Will continure to read ...
Sorry for the double quotes ... but needed in this case.

original quote edited for specific points.

From the point of view of a small alliance/corp living next door to a larger entity, the idea that the large alliance will stomp on the small one (who is willing to develop the system) is rather short sighted. What I suspect will happen is that large alliances will allow smaller alliances to develop areas adjacent to theirs as it gives the large alliance an income stream, more space for their members, more people in the area to develop systems and more people for defence.
Short sighted or not, the few nul-sec alliances I have spoken with have universally stated they will only be sov'ing in key areas and still keep others (read little guys) out by stomping.

Large myopic alliances that stomp on smaller neighbours will slowly disapear as members start to drift to those that provide better space.
Wars will still happen in a more strategic maner and it is here were smaller alliances/corps are at risk as they will be the natural target for the agressor. With this in mind I suspect that unfriendly alliances will find themselves with empty surrounding areas of poor space and slowly lose members to those alliances that support their smaller neighbours.
I suspect a lot of empty (non sov) space out there that the mega-allainces will not allow anyone but renter-pets (I hate that term) in and considering the current costs to rent a system and now the mod costs ... gonna be a lot of unused space out there.
