the only members of a nullsec alliance who are involved in 0.0 politics are diplomats, FCs and leadership

Sounds good to me. It seems like there are some issues that are preventing this. What are those issues?

0.0 dont have anything special to fight for, its a PVE festival. In my opinion CCP need to make some "resources" (moongoo, whatever) "random", and once they deplete (2/3 months) they should spawn in other systems, that way, the alliances will have more reasons to fight for space.

In the current state i dont see why we should lose time with 0.0 warfare.

Sure but then stop trying to nerf hs so badly. Keep your null bears in nullsec, along with their greedy alts and leave our hs/us carebears alone.

Dont take conclusions when EVE is a game of multiple accounts :) Anyhow, please elaborate instead of making empty arguments. Fact, 0.0 has never been so stationary like last year. It's dead.

Wow! I didn't realize that you could only build one station in a system!
I can understand the facilities may not be as up to par as high sec, at least initially, but I would think it should be possible to build/upgrade them to have them on par, if not better than high sec.

This seems like a big problem. Any reason for this type of limitation?

Have fun installing a job when the queue is a month long before it even starts your job. .

Says the guy that just insults people when they don't agree with him?

ok, whatever floats your boat I guess. lols

At least we're settled on the fact that the mega-blocks are the problem.

Unfortunately there's probably no real way around that as things stand.

Perhaps. I don't really think of PL as Blobbers. They are the anti Blobbers if anything. They are the one Anti-SOV Alliance that is still able to project power. I think we need more of them - not less.

Removing/Nerfing JB's wouldn't discourage a PL so what was your argument again?

Judging how much somebody had been in nullsec based upon the single character they happen to be posting with has always been folly.

Just because spell checking seems to be all the rage: I think it's force projection, as in logistics and forward basing.

Stuff that no one would ever use JBs for.

look the question was asked and I gave my thoughts on the answer and one of my thoughts on the answer is the nerfing of JB's. There is nothing from the venom spewed my way to make me think that nerfing JB's isn't part of the answer but I never claimed it was the whole answer.

And if a small gang was harassing one of your stations now you can just go through a jump bridge and you can have a 10-1 advantage in about 3 mins. Without JB's that would take you much longer thus forcing each station to be somewhat self sufficient and be able to fend off small roaming gangs themselves.

You could always explain how things really work in those aspects of the game instead of badgering them with insults and personal attacks.

Why is there power blocs in null? Why isn't an alliance enough?

Question not specifically a Lord Sim only, but I would like to hear his take on it.

Not exactly sure whose side gets favored, seeing as how it would affect everyone. There is no local in wh space and no such favortism exists.

Free intel that requires zero effort. God forbid you actually have to work for intel.

Don't remove it though otherwise you'll have less PVP like in wormhole space, which barely ranks above highsec in terms of pvp/pve losses per capita lol

QED

It's like a freaking disease.

Why? As in: what's the objective?

Repeat after me.

You cant force players into areas they don't want to go, nerfing hi sec isn't the answer (not if they want to keep players). Making low and null more enticing is, then everybody wins.

However, from what I've read here, nerfing high sec does nothing to fix what is really an infrastructure issue. It seems that Outposts need to be improved so that null sec can be more viable and profitable.

How about a marketing campaign then?

Come to nullsec, it's safer than you think.

Needs ponies, and rainbows to work.

People of general discussion - make it so...

It might be and access to facilities so you don't have to jump in an out all the time and can base there, whether that's a new class of ship "Explorer" for example with the fire power but holds that are large enough that you can stay in 0.0 for extended periods. (just an idea)


The problem is say you want to ninja rat or mine or even player rat (I'm talking from a small corp or casual player point of view) having to jump in and out of 0.0 every day is to much of a risk vrs the reward. Oh you can do it, for example by scouting or using downtime but if your time limited those aren't always options.

The way to fill a PvP area is to make the PvP awesome, there are millions of PvPers in the world who will play if the PvP doesn't suck.

Maybe you are that kind of PvPer who sucks and wants easy targets but that is not everyone.

Possible doublepost but vOv, as to the stealing Moongoo idea, its very similiar in scope to what we currently have with POCOs, the only issue being that they still have way too much eHP for small gang fleets to effectively get in, pew pew, and get out. Its a very tough balancing act.

Your ship carries limited ammo and has limited capacity, once deep in null if your not part of the local alliance or a pet, most players don't want to keep doing that trek into and out of 0.0 every night (or when ever you play). That's probably more of a bar than anything else.

That's a pretty interesting idea. But in real life, an ecosystem works because once the alpha predator dies, it becomes food for others. I don't see an equivalent for that in Eve or even a real equivalent to scavengers living off the kills of the alpha predators (I guess some kinda protected salvage ships would be it).

So in addition to being bad at PvP you are also socially challenged and unable to join large fleets.

Changing EvE to suit your limits is not a good idea, you might be better off in WoW or a single player game as you seem to have a solo focus.

Good answer what about hold capacity though you don't want to gimp your ship with cargo extenders ?

So your objective is to restrict income for people who do missions in high sec to finance their nullsec lives.

You wouldn't be sitting on another major income source, would you?

Would that all motives were so blatant.

Without getting into why that matters to you: You're not able to do that?

As you say, that's ground already covered. I'll ask again:

You're not able to do that?

I suspect the answer is obvious, which pretty much makes a hash of your other arguments.

Sorry, I'm less than impressed by "lets make the alternative suck so we can have more low level targets" as an important discussion.

And that's been the point all along.

You can encourage a few people to drop their L4 alts by reducing the reward, but I'll bet all you really do is reduce the amount of PvP overall. A ship loss represents a greater investment of time than money. CCP sells iskies. Time is the only limited commodity.

If you guys have built a empire, why is it empty ? I watch the map and I don't see so many pilots in your empire, even goons have moved to empire-space (High-sec) why ?
