Is sustained 240m isk an hour, per account ratting in null sec, actually the correct figure, or is this just made-up numbers?

People do use POS arrays, in highsec, using alts. Safer keeping your blueprints under CONCORD's protection then somewhere where they could be torn down, right?

If you watched the Fanfest 2012 presentation on industry, you'll notice that regions held by Stain Empire, a 455-man alliance, had more in-house industrial activity then most of the CFC.

Which is why Frigates shouldn't be able to threaten capitals at all....

Same here. Apparently, those who only do pew pew are too poor to afford such a thing.

On the contrary, Goons are likely the most heavily invested in industrial infrastructure of any alliance in the game. They just don't do it in nullsec because to do so would simply be inefficient and insufficient for their needs. The best practice for nullsec alliances, as proven by the most logistically advanced and successful ones, is to merely manufacture all needed goods in highsec, then ship the completed product to their 0.0 deployment base. For a good contrast, you can compare their outsourced logistical strength to an alliance that has invested vast amounts into nullsec infrastructure - CVA.

We have people here going on about how nullsec industry is fine because paying 23 bil for a profoundly inferior version of what highseccers get for free in every system is balanced in their mind.

That is mistake #1.

Damage is damage, doesn't matter if its abandoned or occupied as there will be a killmail either way. Hope this helps.

Oh, that's right. You guys won't mine in null for some reason...........

Oh, i understand all that. Just trying to make the distinction between them being forced to get their ore from a hisec hub and it just being more convenient for them to do so.

I think in many ways the ease at which jump freighters can ferry things from hisec to 0.0 screws up the game.

Jump freighters merely exacerbate an already existing problem, that being the gross inequity of highsec vs. nullsec industrial capacity.

Let's not play the "it's not fair" otherwise I'm going to ask for ihubs in highsec systems. There are many benefits in 0.0 we do not have.

Giant industrial alliances would probably pop up to supply people in 0.0, which would make the game that much more interesting.

When WHO showed up?

We know who was first. We know what happened.

Who owns it now?

It was all part of ze plan. I waz der.

Actually it was regarding the concept of movement between regions which sparks conflict drivers. But hey read into it what you want. Having all that behind a Great Wall with intel channels a mile long reporting anyone nearby certainly wouldnt be a conflict driver seeing as nothing would get moved between regions. Using the jump freighters and freighter killmails that regularly dot evekill and battleclinic and other killboards filled with raw and processed goods from high sec or from null going to and from the market makes this an incredibly poignant source of conflict drivers. One your asking to be taken away from most null sec.

So wrong ideas and concepts seem to be your range of target acquisition and your hitting for wrecking shots.
