We all know about Afghanistan and the issues the US has had with insurgents. The Americans turn up in force the Taliban disappear. As the Americans move around they're ambushed by IED or small groups. The more territory one has to cover the more problems the larger force have.
...
The blue donut is nothing to be proud of, it's a symptom of broken game mechanics and the result of CCP recruiting null sec players with existing null sec bias to design their game.
Napoleon had the same problem, the Boer War, similar thing, all over the place in WW2, Vietnam and Iraq and now Afghanistan.
All the same problem: you cannot defeat a popular local force, it has local knowledge and the ability to merge with the civilian population.
Unfortunately for those locals winning the fight was never the goal, securing the resources was, so the angry guerilla locals pretty much ensure the presence of invading foreign might. At least until losses look bad politically.
Eve has no women or children to consider, you can just zerg the territory and it's all over.
Instead of people whining about busted mechanics the goons exploit, either vote with your wallet and unsub, or suggest solutions. Sov has been a miserable chore since it was born.
PS Good alt-poasted backpatting thread. Same old same old huh?

Its such a simple and small fix likely requiring a database entry change rather than any coding. IE - mobile depots reinforce but don't mail. Ping Pong be screwed, if you don't have enough people to defend bad luck if you do no ping pong.
Sure. Doesn't that still favour the gang with the biggest numbers?
Alt eyes in every system instead of mails.
I understand how sov used to be and how it is now, but i can't think of improvements that don't favour zergs or can't be simply gamed by them.

However what it does is remove the ability to have 2000 systems from Tenal to Paragon Soul with not a soul in 500 of them and still have instant alerts if attacks occur in those 500 systems. ...
Would improve eve.
