I've put together ratting fleets to either help newbees who can't quite tank an anom on their own, ratting with a hostile bomber in system, or doing sec status grinding.
You have to run 3 Forsaken Hubs just to buy a BC hull, 4 if you want a tier3 BC. The loot isn't usually worth all that much either because they drop the same stuff as as they do in highsec. We usually let the newbees have the salvage so they can make some isk until they get into their own ratting ships.

That said, I absolutely agree with you that fixing POS is the way forward to resolve this issue. You're right on the money there.
Why not just charge Shepard Ogeko more ISK for his battlecriser? He only has to do 3 anomalies, now, in order to afford it. Make him do 6 or 10. Make him keep the loot AND salvage, and make him do some mining while he's are at it.
The bottom line is that you guys are spoiled. You have alts in high sec that you use to take advantage of what's good about high sec. You have alts in null sec that you use to take advantage of what's good in null sec. Now, you want to combine the two. Or, hey, better yet, since you are virtually the kings of null, you'd like to just make null the only viable place to play, economically. Maybe you should be careful what you wish for, though. I don't think you'd be able to hold null quite so easily if high sec, low sec, and wormholes weren't viable alternatives. You say CVA holds its space because it is worthless compared to other null regions, but consider that null alliances do not hold their space because we carebears can't hack it out there. Consider that null alliances might hold their space because the majority of players don't CARE about what you do out there, and ask yourself again if you want us to have a reason to care. |
