I've lived in high sec, low sec, and null sec space. I hate missions and mine, industry, react, and trade for my isk.
Null sec is the most fun I've had in eve.
-Holding our space (attacking ANY neutral / red that enters) is fun. Any roamer should realize that there is an entire alliance waiting for them to come so we can squash the intruder. Your presence disrupts us from making isk to replace pvp ships. You will be greeted by a hot drop / superior numbers. If you remove the hot drop... we'll still swarm to you. Don't be so surprised, you'd do the same thing.
-Timers lead to epic battles. Epic battles are fun, no-shows and structure grinding are not fun.
-Most of the increased income of 0.0 goes to replace the ship that just popped. Seeing lvl4 missions generate similar incomes is frustrating, because 0.0 life is using that isk to replace ships/mods which are imported from Empire.
-We have had several people leave 0.0 life because wallets went red due to pvp and lower or equal lvl4 income
(PVP = isk sink, no net gain compared to empire space = frustration -> leave for empire)
-mining just sucks. I need 4 accounts mining to equal 2 account ratting. Does this even make sense? (Arkonor mining high end sanctum(similar) ratting)
-If you dork around with alliance / corp / SOV mechanics too much. We WILL figure out what mechanism makes the most isk and we'll simply adjust the eve mechanic to fit our social structure.
-0.0 isk is used to support life in 0.0 through taxes. JB, sov costs, Super production, etc is done primarily through taxes. The average member looks at income post tax.(as they should). A 10% higher income than Lvl4 will equal much less net for a 0.0 pilot. (Again, replacing pvp ships)
-If something takes more effort to make isk, it should make more isk than the easier method (Drone Regions vs. bounty space / T2 vs T1 production / )
-People will always band together for mutual protection. Eve is a harsh place. i don't see how current mechanics give an advantage for NRDS over NBSI. NBSI is a much safer policy for the same benefit. That neutral trader can be a spy, can be a ganker, or could be an actual trader. I do not see how letting in a 'trader' or someone looking to make isk in our fought for space is remotely in my alliance's best interest. |
