whats your SRP programme?

Nullsec is a renting simulator.

If you like being a tenant - stay.
If you don't like to do that - leave.

Binary choice, really.

I've been in Null for 6 months and I'm not sure if I want to give up or not.

I'll admit I've always been a PvEer at heart, I PvP but its not my main goal in the game.

In this time with my corp I've moved from 2 alliances, rented for 3 months and trekked up and down the map at least twice. Been in a few big fleet fights and a good number of small ones, generally died without many kills. Never seen an enemy capital.

While the ISK from PvE is great, a 100m from relic sites for example I just can't enjoy the null sec population.

Its the bureaucracy of it all, providing API for this, join forum/website X and Y, get this authenticated so you can use the channel. And that even before you get into alliance politics with people leaving, drama, constant doctrine changes, com and PvE/industrial people being looked down on. And then there is the bitterness of the enemy, cloaky hot droppers who are left in system 23/7 so you can't do anything with it, constant raids and fighting for the sake of it.

You never feel like anything more than a cog in a machine that doesn't really care about you.

So I have 2 choices either move with the corp to yet another alliance or leave and try something else, either W-space or FW.

Sounds like highsec l4s are for you.

I been living in Providence now for two months. With our rules I found it to much much better than ever and it's made it so much easier to enjoy being there. I have goals, I have a set of goals to buy specific Amarr ships. I rat, I mine and all the isk I make is mine to save for these ships, fact is I'm closing in on getting my second Apoc next week at the rate I'm going.

The risk and rewards are much better for me to undock and go do what I do, it's watching local, book mark safe spots if need be, it's keeping a sharp eye out for anything that comes in a system or two, it requires dillegence to be on guard at all times.

My corpmates have gone out of their way to help and advise about ship fittings and such. Running combat sites which pays out huge dividends has really made it so much easier and meeting my goals are easily reached.

My friend, this what I experience and take some of the sincere advice you are given, do what you want to do, see what direction you want to go in. Nulsec is really much safer than hisec I can tell you that personally from the experience I gained. I wouldn't trade it for nothing.

Best of luck in your future.

You poor thing. You had to put in a tiny bit of effort to get free ships.

It is a frakking game not a RL, just make a decision and all you can lose is pixels. I have no idea why people insist so much on making their playtime so horrible and not enjoyable.

ok check to make sure your flying with a valid fleet commander, write down his name, find his SRP ID (which is not written down anywhere in-game). Make sure you were flying a doctrine ship. Find out there is another authentication thing you have to do, get authenticated. Send off application. Then wait and discover SRP is not paying out due to alliance drama, theft and leadership changes.

Never matter anyway as I never lost anything larger than a destroyer (at least on a alliance fleet), lost some stuff to importune anti-raiding action with isn't covered by SRP

The depth of the game means that it can become a hobby rather than just a game. That results in a greater time commitment and better organisation which is turn results in optimal solutions. Which might not be fun.

I have a lot of respect for the people who run the large alliances and coalitions. But it sure isn't a great advertisement for null: "Want to do it right? Join the bureaucracy! Or rent!" I look forward to seeing null options for people who have neither the time or inclination for that type of play.

Oh. How do people learn to fit ships if they only ever fly doctrine?

Now if the issue is that the doctrines are always changing and people are looking down haulers and people bringing the **** they play with from highsec or god-knows-where, the issue is people in your alliance, not nullsec itself. I don't get the issue about cloaky hot dropper either, just go 3-4 systems away and fly a fast aligning T2 cruiser... This isn't a nullsec issue either. If you want to fly battleships to shoot at red crosses you're indeed in the wrong place.

Hi, I used to live in nullsec until I realised it was populated by guys like you, people who want easy ISK from PvE. Shortly after that I decided I didn't need the help of alliances to do pretty much whatever I want in the game. SOV is meaningless, use whatever space you want and most people just dock up in fear (which makes getting kills easy).

Hope this information can be useful to you.

So, you went to null to expect you could PvE on furtile grounds without defending them etc...Really.

And now you are considering W-Space or FW...WHAHAHAHAHA.

Oh, wait, you will be stabbed-plex farmer number 2.493.359 in FW

Problem is all my skills are focused around caldari missile ships and the local rats were weak to EM, the raven was the only ship that isn't bonused to kinetic. So I could never do and ratting so I just did relic sites. Didn't matter because even with the raven with EM mods at 100km off they still melted my shields Also they had the entire pocket camped, the only systems that wasn't where pipeline systems and I wasn't going to risk that.

Okay, so maybe moving out of your current region would be a good start to improve your nullsec experience if you play caldari ships? Like, moving to a place having rats not doing a lot of EM damage... Since your corp and alliance seem to suck anyway it won't be a great loss.

I haven't skilled missile boats myself yet so I don't know caldari ships well beyond inties but using a raven in nullsec is suicidal, to say the least. Have you considered something like a Cerberus? It seems it has nice range bonuses and many rats won't fire beyond 80km (well except in the odd place you live in).

So I've sold a lot of my junk I'd picked up and is trying to get into incursions with my lv5 basilisk. Which I never saw anyone using in null.

Just quit and be your own boss.

I quit Snigg / PL 3 years ago and I've been solo ever since. Best thing I ever did.

There's always something new to do.

1. Ninja salvage player battlefield T2 wrecks, loot (fly to big blobs on map)

2. Explore w-space in a good ship like a Stratios and kill C1 - C3 sleepers

3. Kill low-sec belt pirates for the possible Mordu's BPC drop, valuable mining upgrade drop, clone soldier tags, etc. Low-sec has gotten much much better lately.

4. Do some occasional solo pirating

5. Drop siphons on random people's dyspro moon and count your MONEY"S

6, Run ghost sites for great MONEY"S

And on and on.

Nulsec is really much safer than hisec I can tell you that personally from the experience I gained. I wouldn't trade it for nothing.
