However, NPC null is probably the only place that NRDS would actually work because of itGÇÖs proximity with high sec. Some of the benefits of a NRDS policy is allowing neutrals to trade at stations, providing much needed equipment & ships at reasonable prices.
Once you start getting deeper into player control sov, NBSI is the only way to go.
Drone regions without drone poo would benefit from NRDS as well. As you pointed out, you require a high dicipline to not shoot neuts though. Many Goons and other Null residents don't even have the dicipline to leave them alone in High Sec though. The reason it fails for most of them. |

Given this thread is about how SOV doctrine impacts your lack of industry, it stands to reason that those industrialists you categorize as both non-sissy and within your alliance must have already, or one of those two conditions has not been met. The alternative is that you've chosen to ally or incorporate those not up to the challenge of plying their trade under the conditions you provide in your sovereign space for whatever reason. Obviously, NBSI is excellent for taking and holding territory, but lacking in providing the required environment for the scale of industry you covet from other areas. Deliberately polarizing 'less economically efficient' into 'completely impossible' may also be a contributing factor, as even with trivial investigation it is quite obvious that a small number of committed industrial players could easily supercede your 'single system better than region' retterick. There would be an isk buy in, and maintenance required, and risk involved, but those are all tenets of the game - emergent content requires drivers, and you've already proven that targets not geared for frontline combat encourage 'emergent' gameplay. Those industrialists that enjoy it are no less valuable to your faction than experienced and committed PVP pilots, you've just been metagaming and triaging a self-inflicted wound in that respect for a long time. |

I beg your pardon, but it's not obvious at all. Plenty of arguments have been made by people who actually live in 0.0 to the effect that NRDS is the exact opposite of "providing the required environment".

Could you explain to me how you think they'd be less vulnerable in 0.0 than they already are in hi-sec? Because the whole reason we 0.0ers want to repatriate our economy is so that more people will be undocked and active in 0.0, and then we will have the opportunity to **** with each other more than we do now. And so will you! It's a party that you're invited to!
You refuse to see the error in your thinking.
I know like most Vets know, being in a Null Alliance translates to being a foot soldier. You won't be allowed to be an Industrial mogul. You will be allowed to server them and make a bit of ISK ratting or something. Null alliances covet their Industrial contracts and keep them under the control of a very select few.
I know like most Vets know, all alliances in EVE come crashing down. When they do, that select group who control them walk away with untold fortunes and the foot soldiers head back to high sec wondering how they are no better off than they were when they started, Wondering why they were never allowed in the door.

I assume you mean "rhetoric"?
Once again, this is far from obvious. Can you explain how, exactly, those "committed industrial players" could overcome the incredible hard-coded structural advantages that industrialists in hi-sec get?
Is it that you simply don't believe us when we illustrate the magnitude of the imbalance here? I assure that that the "one hi-sec system has more slots than an entire well-developed 0.0 region" line is nothing but the literal truth. You are invited to investigate the numbers for yourself. No need to rely on "rhetoric". Run the numbers yourself and prove it to your own satisfaction.

You're making some large assumptions about what I "know". I can speak for my own alliance with some certainty when I tell you that no such situation would apply to our members. Our alliance leadership would be nothing short of overwhelmed with joy to have the ships & mods we need produced locally, since it would remove a huge chunk of their logistics workload. They'd be more than happy to let the members make ISk this way. MatrixSkye Mk2: "Remember: You consent to unconsensual PVP the moment you press the "Undock" button." |

I watch Jita Markets.
Null is NOT being supplied by Jita markets. Jita Markets are being supplied by Null.
If Null stopped feeding Jita it would turn in to a flee market. I don't think you are asking to control your own Alliance and their ability to fleet. I think you are asking to project your control on to High Sec and dictate what they will fly, how much it will cost and when they will get it by controlling Industry.
You want control of EVE. CCP won't give it to you. I see why. |

So as I understand it, on the grounds we must be up to something, you 'know' that "our" plan is as follows
(1) Get sov 0.0 industry buffed up to the level where we can supply ourselves
(2) Unify economic policies across all of 0.0 and proceed enact an economic blockade of hi-sec, presumably of high-end minerals and moon-goo
(3) ....?
(4) Profit!

Once again the reply off somebody who talks like they are in the last, poorest alliance in game, with everything hammering them, barely breathing above the water's surface, shouting their last agony shriek before going down.
I really, really wanted to stay off this thread because of course it started talking about one thing and of course it got derailed in the current mittani.com propaganda like every single other vaguely 0.0 pertinent thread, where you see the same 4-5 Goonwaffe professional forum warriors twisting every topic to suit their current agenda.
But since I admired Malcanis 1.0 (the former independent thinker, the one with the smart Law written on the signature), I'll put a tiny grain of sand in the fat vag... table. This is not a direct reply to him but to everybody. I expect this reply will be completely travised, thrashed, flamed and sectioned but hey, for now I am still free to talk my mind so you'll have to bear with my ranting for a little more.
Hypothesis: CFC + others block are domitating EvE. Not just being prominent, they have a game in free fall into their hands, controlling null sec and hi sec key markets, null sec sov, when they want to "interdict" something in hi sec like ice or even Jita, they can. They are also collectively the wealthiest of all, control both the bottleneck moons and the less bottleneck ones.
This cannot be denied, it's just as evident as the fact that the sky looks blue-ish.
Hypothesis 2: The industry change is indeed a fair idea which I myself support. It's even more needed in WHs than null sec, but it's not like you consider anything or anyone else except yourselves (except for patting yourselves on the back or to spite them).
Thesis: with the current EvE economy and topography, you'll be even more entrenched and unmovable and impossibly wealthy. This of course is exceptionally well known by Aryth and the other leaders.
Why: having the burden to play all the stupid "null => hi sec => null sec again" chain you are effectively somewhat slowed down to your best efficient path.
I repeat, it's stupid and even unfair yet even with that slow down you have not only won the game, but also bent it like a glove dressed on your hands.
The "give farmers the farms" too is a very fair concept and some other games have done it. But - as requested and said several times by yours truly - those farms give the alliance their own bottom-up economy.
Now, a second other point Aryth and co. surely know: the more the numbers, the more the advantage at having a bottom-up economy. That is, a further, massive push forward, whole in collective alliance wealth and power.
Now, it's OK to give credit where credit is due: you indeed won EvE. And you are unmistakably working HARD to improve your collective performance, efficiency, offensive...
As I said several times in the past, you have got to the game over credits, have seen them all, and now you are back to the main menu. You can now play an "past game over" scenario (like Dragon Age) where you can just go around and do what you want, return to old places you want to see again, maybe finish some secondary quests... You once again have overdone it so much that you can't see you are already past the victory screens, but hey, you still keep paying subs so it's fine. You just don' see that basically you are arming yourselves against... who? You are closer and closer to be the last man standing.
Is it the best CCP goal to give you tools for further power increase? Despite the fact these tools would be actually fair?
Or would it be best if CCP first redid the sov mechanics so that there are again a lot of sov "actors" and THEN (or also together) gave the industry buffs needed to make null sec on par / better than hi sec?
Don't make my former MMO's guild mistake: we rolled everything until we had to play with naked alts just to face a challenge and even then, everybody else left. You are left victor... over a desolated desert.
