Grey Area	Posted - 2005.10.15 09:24:00 - [1] Originally by: Christopher Scott I have raised this issue with almost every kind of person from every alliance, past and present, that live in 0.0 space. The vast majority always agree on the same thing: WE WANT MORE PEOPLE IN 0.0 SPACE!... ...Just one additional gate to camp for every claimed sector of alliance space.... And there's your answer...for the existing population of 0.0 space, gate=camp. And your comment that "being able to do level 4 missions means you have outgrown Concord" is just laughable. Now that scanners can find mission runners quite easily, it is a simple thing for the pirates to use a covert ops ship to warp to you within 15km. If you're fitted out to do level 4 missions, you're easy prey for PVPers. The ransom they charge to let you get away with your ship is roughly in the order of 50 mission rewards, or put another way, assuming one hour per mission (optimistic), 2 DAYS solid play to get the money back. My excursions into 0.0 have been brief. Some have been rewarding, most have been fatal and financially ruinous. You can open a direct stargate to every 0.0 system from Jita if you want...it wouldn't make me want to go there any more than I do now. ========================================= * I'm ALLOWED to cheat.

Just don't say I don't have the SKILLS to comment.
Grey Area	Posted - 2005.10.15 09:31:00 - [3] More thoughts... The question to answer is....why would you want to go into 0.0? Currently the answer is "to PVP", so all the people who want that are already there. And there's your basic flaw - it is the layout of the map. What if, instead of 0.0 being all AROUND empire space, it was BETWEEN them all? So...to go from Amarr space to Minmatar space required 6 jumps through 0.0? Then you get more reasons for non-PVPers to travel...all of course, profit related...projectile weapons very cheap in Amarr space, but very expensive in Minmatar space. Certain commodities simply not available in Gallente space, but richly available in Caldari space (and again, a gap full of 0.0 systems in between). Whether or not this radical change to the map could be implemented now, I have no idea. ========================================= * I'm ALLOWED to cheat.
