Yay, another reason not to visit low sec. With sov-held 0.0 firmly in the hands of blue fests and renters, PI was one of the few reasons anyone had to visit low sec, and now that's removed. Customs offices will simply be blown up by blobs and low sec pirates with that low of HP. Same with NPC 0.0. Can't wait for all the bluebear sov 0.0 entities to go wipe out low sec and NPC 0.0 PI and to set standings so you have to join the boring state of sov-0.0 to make any isk.
Low sec gets turned into even more of a ghost-town with this change and large entities get another way to push small entities out into the cold. Lamest change to EVE in quite a while. |

And then CCP wonders why most players never leave high-sec. |

Ya I'm just a guy and I'm not part of some alliance, just a small corporation but I do my PI in lowsec, it's not great to have the Devs tell me 'tough *****' go do PI in highsec. I'm taking the risk here shouldn't I get some sort of reward? Instead I'm getting shoved out of Lowsec so that larger corporations that have massive resources can control everything. PI was great because it was accessible to all, now it's just another resource for alliances to fight over. That's not our intention, if you are a small corp you are very much the focus of this. But honestly, what if a large alliance takes control of a CO and charge you 9% tax? Isn't that fine? they provide the service, you pay for it and it's cheaper than highsec? Our assumption is that Alliances or any corp will want to make money off their CO in low-sec. If that assumption turns out to be wrong, then we might intervene with a future update. Regards Omen
I don't mean to be rude, though it may sound rude to ask... but do you play the game? In what age and era do 0.0 alliances do anything to "provide services" to those who aren't on their blue-lists? They will simply blow up the low-sec CO's they haven't set standings on in order to grief everyone who hasn't signed up to the biggest bluefest in EVE's history. No null entity will care about making a 9% tax profit off of these things, they will simply want them gone so they can corner the market on POS fuel production. Like the Russians or the Goons give a horse's ass about a small isk profit on low-sec CO's when they control tech moons. They will simply destroy to grief.
The state of 0.0 is so shite right now that Goons are camping Gallente ice fields out of pure bluefest boredom. It's not a matter of 0.0 alliances becoming even richer by monopolizing their nearby low sec CO's, it is that they will simply destroy them and replace them with nothing. And even if your scenario were true, no, that isn't "fine." Why are you trying to design a mechanic that simply allows the rich to get richer?
Nothing in this change helps small entities, and that you would say "if you are a small corp you are very much the focus of this" almost sounds like a complete troll. You designed yet another HP-grind that will only benefit the blobfest while giving the average capsuleer even less incentive to dip their toe out of high sec. |

Quote:You have some cool ideas but why do you assume the larger corporation won't tolerate you?
You seem like a really nice guy, but anyone who could ask such a question simply doesn't play EVE. |
