If you are happy roaming around inventing doing PI etc.in hisec why should you be forced to move either to losec or 0.0?
Your perfectly right; a high sec player who wants to invent or manufacture shouldn't be forced to go into low/nullsec. But by the same token, a Nullsec player who wants to manufacture/invent shouldn't be forced to go to highsec, which at the moment they are.
As you point out yourself:
Quote:
What a lot of people in 0.0 seem to be saying is that they want to have their cake and eat it too. Have a presence in 0.0 so as to form blobs and knock the living daylights out of other blobs and at the same time keep one foot in hisec so that they can make, and develop the materiel need for the blob fights. I read once that BoB, remember them, had a major manufacturing base in Alentene, where's that? hisec of course.
Did you know, an industrialist in my alliance (that is Goonswarm, just so you know, since that seems to be a target of your dislike) pointed out that if every single manufacturing slot in Deklein (the 0.0 region we live in), was devoted entirely to the invention and production of T2 ammunition, one full fleet (thats 256 people) could expend the entire production capacity for a full month in just one hour of continuous firing.
Thats why we in 0.0 are looking to get some parity in 0.0/highsec production. We don't want to take anything away from you. However, if 0.0 is supposed to be about creating empires, it is somewhat ludicrous that we can't even produce our own ammunition, let alone ships, modules, and infrastructure. You say we want to exist in nullsec and 0.0 simultaniously? Thats the point, we don't, we want the complete opposite. This char i'm posting with is a purely Highsec character (she's my hauler alt to get things i need from Highsec). I don't want to have to have this char, but at present i do to get the items I need.
Sov nullsec has the ability to increase it's manufacturing capacity. In the time I have lived there I have not seen then exhaust mineral supply or mined out belts. I won't contest the fact of nullsec being dependent on highsec manufacture, but there are ways around it in current game mechanics (POS slots, outposts, upgrades). Also, while living in Null, one issue I never had was not being able to find an empty manufacturing slot. If current resources aren't being used to their fullest, why should other areas of the game that are using them be punished?
