You guys must really want one alliance ruling everything...
Null sec life is a *****
Jump Bridges make it possible to defend territory without having to go 30 jumps through the ******* gatecamps. They make it possible for the grand game to continue. You want null sec to be a place where a thousand little groups skirmish instead of some of the legendary pvp plotlines that have put this game on the friggin MAP!?
Before CCP goes and does such a thing let me run a few things by you.
1. War Dec corps raise nine kinds of hell with alliance logistics. Privateer alliance and the like live off raising hell and kiling off jump freighters of the big gun alliances. Hell they even have a schedule where they rotate their wardecs to make sure they hit everyone. JF's are high value targets and the main train of an alliance 'logistics' chain. They're worth every isk spent. Even with JF's every run is a goddamned gamble.
2. Military: JB's allow for centralized sovereignty allowing players to station out of a system. It was done without JB's before but i'm willing to bet the burnout factor is a hell of a lot higher it'd turn a game where spending hours setting up a structure becomes micro-maintenance of every system you own You'd have people popping up outposts left and right to overcome half of what would happen.
3. Markets. Null sec is a market. Right now its prices are at least halfway close to jita.
It's very simple. Remove JB's and watch the subscription rate fall off very quickly.
You are both self-centered, and wrong, on all accounts.
Actually, it's a ***** BECAUSE alliances are trying to take up way too much territory for what they are.
Null sec is a market, yes, but it is a market that was intended to be less accessible, for the trade off of more profit and better pvp - it was never intended to be like a high-sec market hub. That prices are anywhere near Jita's, for how little manufacturing that actually goes on in 0.0, is ridiculous. You're missing the point, and trying to make things easy for your alliance things which are supposed to be difficult or expensive.
Lastly, the subscriptions you say will be lost will be solely those of the people who are in leadership and trusted positions in many corps and alliances - the ones who profit from the better moons and taxes to pay for their subscriptions.
From a realist who lives in 0.0 to a guy who is overly greedy, my corp mates and I suggest you get a grip and stop looking at game logistics from such a self-centered viewpoint.
If you and your alliance couldn't protect that space which you have without JB's, then you guys are overstretched. Period. |
