I'm certainly not risk averse and my friend asked me why I've never ventured into null sec. And to me it's the logistics. I'm terrified of the process of buying ships, modules, skill books easily and quickly. I certainly don't mind losing ships but I want to know I can replace them easily and keep playing.
To me having to wait a few days to buy a new ship or resupply seems really unappealing depending on your alliances logistics infrastructure. Or having to pay Black Frog 100m+ to jump supplies to you, and what if they can't dock at your station. It all seems like a nightmare and is very prohibitive to game play.
For what is supposed to be the aspiration for most players to get to, it seems very counter intuitive to the newer player. I don't have market alts, or multiple accounts or a logistics alt etc.
I was just wondering how unfounded is my concern?
ALSO What are other reasons that YOU may not have gone to Null Sec etc.
I've just returned after an unfortunate hiatus.
0.0 is awesome, but getting there is still a bit of a headache. This is not to say that I don't like the headache, but there's still some small things that need to be done. Personally, pretty much the entire 2013 involved me and my previous corp/career spending more time moving back and forth, from one corner of the 0.0 galaxy to another, spending most of the time trying to just get established somewhere-somehow with just a few ships.
And thus, paying cash for a game that involves too much fooling around with moving stuff is silly somewhat. It is not supposed to be easy but there has to be some things done. Nonetheless, it's the player community that screws it actually, not CCP (unless they take on the case, but good luck with that xD!)
Okay, I don't really fill the criteria for staying in highsec, especially now that I am back in noobcorp and highsec, but I'm really considering to get the carebear out of hibernation and just nom on iskies until I'm fat (I'm already ugly).
Using tablet, typoes are common and I'm not going to fix them all. |
