Lets see...bigger rats in belts, wow, color me impressed about emargent gameplay or whatever the leet term is.
I can mine with a rorqual support, ok, I dont mine and I can do pretty much the same profit if not more in hisec with an orca.
This is partially valid. Not everyone mines. However, you can't be serious if you think you can make the same amount of iskies in high that you can in null regarding actually mining. Volume, type (of ore able to be mined) and production capabilities alone pretty much knock the last part of the statement out of the park. Simply not true.

This is hilarious because it is totally true 95% of the time, especially the freed convict. Well put.

Obviously based on your personal experience, but definitely not mine.
Quote: Basically, the only thing I can do in null on my own time is ratting in belts, solo mining and scanning for seriously lower-end complexes.Everything I can do in hisec better, cheaper and safer (if its even an issue).
Also, basing in hisec permits me to make a few very fun runs on a bomber into closest nullsec, with close personal friends.
Plus of course, some missioning if I want to.
I feel like the majority of highsec players treat null in this regard. Think about it for a minute. Literally the only difference between missions and sites (in null) is the fact that you get "quest text" with missions. The bounties on sites make up for the "mission bonus" that you receive. After that, null iskies in sites destroy mission iskies, bar none. If you want to go big, go rat in a carrier for funsies, watch the 34m tickers roll in every 5 minutes then come back and tell me level 4 missions are more profitable. Same as above, it's not going to happen.
Quote: Also, lets talk about pvp...the only pvp that`s unique to nullsec is blob warfare, which is (for me) something to be avoided at all costs, due to the feelings of intense boredom, uselessness and depression it creates.
In hisec, if someone wants, there are tons of small-gang pvp, where you have actually to react and think fast, which makes it quite amusing at times.
Null-sec, what for?
Your opinion on PVP is your own. Tactics though, are varied throughout the Eve cluster. Some FC's prefer small fast gangs, some go for T1 roams for cheap fun, some prefer blobs, some prefer blops. Some shield, some armor, etc etc etc. There is no one way to go about fleet combat in Eve. While you can argue that fleet ops can sometimes take a dull, repetitive flavor...that's just because CCP doesn't regularly change the HP of structures. Therefore, to get something done it requires the same dull action to pop it. I LOATHE sbu's. Doesn't mean that defines my entire pvp experience. |
