Why does CCP even need to get involved?
I've seen plenty of small groups and even solo'ers do fine in null without needing CCP to step in. They fit these things called cloaks and actually avoid fighting the mega-blobs/camps sent after them and occassionally get kills on unwary lone or small grouped targets. There was even a nice article somewhere (wish I could find it) about how to live in enemy space with deployable containers, cloakies and cyno'd haulers to bring stuff in.
Then there's wormholes giving you the potential to make a quick run into somebody's unused backyard system to rat up a few dozen mil and pop back home before anyone figures out there ,if they ever do, since unless you're spotted in local they'll probably think you're one of their own ratters on DOTLAN.
Otherwise, expecting to be able to take a static objective from 500+ guys with 1-5 people is just silly. |

They fit these things called cloaks and actually avoid fighting the mega-blobs/camps sent after them and occassionally get kills on unwary lone or small grouped targets. That's called "Being annoying in an enemy territory". There is no way a small group can get sov that way. Sov structures are some sort of barriers that you have to break through in order to get sov. It adds a hard cap to how many dudes you need to bring in order to grind those amounts of EHPs.
I wasn't talking about taking sov, I was talking about living in null without having to kow-tow to somebody who has sov which is what causes the majority of "my 5-man corp can't go to 0.0 without being someone's ***** " whines. |

NPC AI changes make small frigate gangs a thing of the past. Given that the AI switches instantly to newcomers in anomalies, even if those newcomers haven't taken any hostile action towards the rats whatsoever, most any sort of solo PvP in null is kind of a pain these days. Supposedly it's a bug, but I haven't heard anything about fixing it.

That's no bug....that's a feature. |

Second, answer the main question: WHY Should 100 Guys be able to take Sov from 1000 who are actively defending it?
Because they're "better"?  I wonder how many of this mindset stems from people who wrecked a bunch of huge carebear corps in highsec/lowsec and can't figure out why the same tactics won't work in null sov space where they can't play station games or use neutral alts (serious question). |

Real world has collision damage....would you really want to give The Order collision damage? I would, but only if a well-tanked mining barge (ha) could survive it. |
