The SOV system and the standing system for 0.0 are broken beyond repair.
Best start all over again. Delete all POS's, Stations and SOV structures in SOV 0.0 from the game.

I wish you people would post with your firgging null sec main when you make posts bitching about "large coalitions".

Otherwise how the hell is anyone supposed to take the **** you write as being any sort of credible when all they see is a high sec NPC corp under your name.

You're just another high sec character bitching about blobs. The **** is anyone supposed to know if you actually play and live in null.

(...) [insert the standard SOV 0.0 coalition yada yada yada here] (...)

I'm from an NPC corp too, but I know all about nullsec politics, oh yes.

A tempting suggestion, if only to see how long it would take for new coalitions to form and take over all of 0.0 again.

In other words, your "hammer" would be striking nothing but a bucketful of water. You'd make one gigantic splash, some water would spill out of the bucket, but eventually the water would just settle back in the bucket just the way it was before you yelled "Hammertime!"

Seems the 1st dog started barking and it's a Goon. What a surprise.

Well Sir your point is very weak since your alliance is a huge part of the problem called CFC & Co but there are others beside you.

Confirming that NPC corp alts are the prime authority on all things null-sec.

You can't stop there that is right. But with the removal of standing marks for alliances towards other alliances and player corporations it would be very hard to keep friendly fire in line within these coalitions.
The max number of members per player corporation and alliance has to be set as well.

Abloobloobloo Christmas to you, too!

Shiptoasting is also a problem, you know.

Are you trying to derail a valueable thead? No.
But maybe you could start your own thread about shiptoasting. I'm sure it'll lead to an interesting discussions and a huge leap for mankind.

We have out-of-game assets which would make this a trivial issue.

Further, we would start shooting only reds, which everybody else would be set to except the CFC.

Your "solution" is pretty stupid if/when you really think about it.

It will be interesting to see how you'll set something to red if alliances can't set a standing anymore and corporations are limited to do so or it could be removed for them too.

Out of game stuff won't prevent ingame friendly fire.

The issue is not the large coalitions or the proliferation of empty space. There are a severe lack of things to do 0.0 and the core sov mechanic makes it tedious and boring for the average line pilots. Mix that with the potential for great moon goo income why would you want to risk losing it all to a rival power bloc when you guys can just bro up, secure your income and have fun basing every one else with safety and impunity. Those who control the spice...

Only CCP can change that and because it is that way. It's the best they start from scratch.

Let the hammer fall on SOV 0.0 and it's super caps, titans and so on. New game systems and mechanics are needed to populate the place.

Large coalitions and alliances would be able to exploit the new systems to much. The very same way they do it today. They are part of the problem. With large i mean everything above 2000/3000 characters.

Let the hammer fall!

There's simply no acceptable way to say this other then,

Post with your main *****, or stop bitching about null.

Untill then your just another high sec character bitching about **** you're not involved in.


Edit: At least you can see with who and where I play when I make an observation about something.
My balls are laying on the table for everyone to see, I'm not hiding like a coward.

SOV 0.0 alliances are in the huge game about wealth, fame, reources and so on. They are like national states. National states have no friends.
The removal of the ability to set standings towards other alliances is just natural. If you hate someone declare a war to make them flashy or shoot any neutrals you encounter in your space. More PVP. More destroyed ships.
It has something for all aspects of EVE. From mining over industry to the way of the warrior.

There is always a more acceptable language to talk about something.

Your friends claim the rights you want to take from me to talk about other parts of the game they don't like. I do the very same.
Coward or not. You don't silence me with that.
It's always better to be a living coward than a dead hero.

This will change nothing. If player faction wish to have diplomatic relations with another player faction, they will have them, with the help of interface in the form of standings or without. And it's worth stating that idea of cutting interface support from anything is never a good idea.

I do understand that it's GD's tradition to create gazillion of threads on the same damn subject, but could you please at least propose changes that would actually work towards your agenda (nvm that they probably won't be implemented anyways)?
