Meh, relying on CCP to buff, nerf and otherwise pick sides in the gankers versus miners drama is bad design. Defending or killing miners really should be up to the players. IMO, CCP should have used the CrimeWatch overhaul to fix the ganking problem, specifically by making the criminal flag permanent. If you want to gank someone, go for it, but don't be surprised if the rest of the community/faction hunts you down, sanctions you, revokes your docking privileges, and denies access to station services for being such a twit.

Then enforce it. You're allowed to shoot any -5 or lower character you see. Go to a suicide-gank-heavy system, and sit in the belts with alpha boats/logistics/booster links for the miners.

Or are you saying you want NPCs to enforce it for you?

Doesn't work like that any more. CCP is killing off nullsec. They've gone back to making it easier to make money in high sec level 4's or even Incursions.

I'm actually really disappointed in what CCP is doing, null sec is the only part of this game with anything content generating going on in it and they're continually either reducing the ISK generating aspects of it, adding in new mechanics which affect alliance level money generation without adding in member level money generation or adding in industry to null sec.

Nothing is made out in null apart from capitals. That has to change. Null has to be attracting people, not a 1 way ticket to bankruptcy.

SEC status is too easily changed.

yeah because everyone gets an officer spawn

60m/hr ratting is nothing compared to grinding the incursion equivalent of l2 missions for 120m/hr

The current income ranking for shooting red crosses is something like

Wormholes > Incursions (highsec) > Pro ratting in a carrier/carrier assisted tengu(nullsec) > Pro level 4s in a pimped marauder (highsec) = Tengu ratting (nullsec) > Drake/belt ratting (nullsec) > Bad level 3-4s (highsec)

While the risk/effort is

Wormholes >= sov nullsec >>>>>>> level 4s and highsec incursions

tell me how easy it is to raise sec status

That is the biggest load of bullshit I've ever heard.

Back when I lived in Nullsec I could make 400mil-1.5 bil from running a single Sanctum.

If you did anomalies and escalations you could get rich FAST.

If you only make 60 mil per hour in 0.0 you are doing it VERY wrong.

The current income ranking for shooting red crosses is something like

Wormholes > Incursions (highsec) > Pro ratting in a carrier/carrier assisted tengu(nullsec) > Pro level 4s in a pimped marauder (highsec) = Tengu ratting (nullsec) > Drake/belt ratting (nullsec) > Bad level 3-4s (highsec)

While the risk/effort is

Wormholes >= NPC nullsec >>>>>>> sov nullsec > level 4s and highsec incursions

They shoud simply have made impossible to bot PvE in supercaps and similar other smart ideas.

I never said that, nor implied it. Stop making **** up, troll.

-5 and lower are not the only ones ganking. Nice try though. SEC status is too easily changed.

5% and base resists are T1.

So that's nowhere near T2 ships.

Fixed for you.

Yes I was one of those going to sheet in the L4 missioning systems in Stain, no way you can do it as easy and cause so much trouble by going in your blueball trenches.

There's nothing wrong with characters above -5 doing ganks. It only becomes a problem when these characters are recycled. But then, you can do your own player-policing by petitioning them, since it's an offense that gets punished.

hi

a supercarrier can only use fighters and fighterbombers, neither of which are particularly useful in anoms on their own, and a faction BS is cheaper and better overall for anoms than an SC

a titan can't lock more than 3 targets at one time, it deals less damage to rats even when it scores a perfect hit because of the sig-based turret damage penalty specific to titan hulls

The current income ranking for shooting red crosses is something like

Wormholes > Incursions (highsec) > Pro ratting in a carrier/carrier assisted tengu(nullsec) > Pro level 4s in a pimped marauder (highsec) = Tengu ratting (nullsec) > Drake/belt ratting (nullsec) > Bad level 3-4s (highsec)

While the risk/effort is

Wormholes >= sov nullsec >>>>>>> level 4s and highsec incursions

They clearly botted supercaps because these were bad and they wanted to give top expensive targets to neuts.

Would you mind posting the current resist profile and ship bonuses to resists here for those of us not up with the latest SiSi build?

Oh, sorry I forgot that Goons don't know how to raise SEC status, or how to recycle alts. Nullsec blinders are the best blinders.

. But then, you can do your own player-policing by petitioning them, since it's an offense that gets punished.

You don't know what T1 resists are?

Hulk shields:
0/50/40/20

Hulk armor:
60/10/25/35

Unless the guy is so stupid to recicle some alt called like "James315" and call the next "James316" how exactly do you know the recycling occurred?

So, you want W-space nerfed?

those aren't t1 resists hope this helps

Drake shields:
0/50/40/20

Afaik Drake is T1 hull.

hi there has to be a reward for holding space

otherwise what is the point of holding space

"oh look the guy who ganked me is now in doomheim"

believe it or not GMs can figure out the rest

The typical 20-100 members NPC nullsec corp has to take fat risks just to dock at the NPC stations (perma double bubble and stuff), their subcaps and caps ops are certainly riskier than a fat ball ops with supercaps support and even at the individual level all you have to do is join your big alliance and attend some operation and be reimbursed for ship loss.
Even if your NPC nullsec corp / alliance controls a couple of systems, 2 jumps away you and your 5 buddies are already in the middle of a cloud of neuts. It's not an optional small roam for fun in there, it's what you have to do to live.

Moreover for the smaller entities neither the reimbursement is so granted nor the ability to join an op or not.
