NRDS is the personal choice of a single Bloc. It's up to them if they want to use NRDS, NBSI or NPSI. These are all fairly minor concerns, if at all. It's part of the meta game.

That's the point of the new proposal, coupled with the fact that they could move in to NPC Deklein. And oh my, 20 jumps is too far for MOA? What a tragedy.

So from a "little guy" in support of the idea:

1) I love the idea of more NPC null. We're a little band of merry BLOPSers but hey its a living. As someone who does the logistics for these fleets and has a very good network of cyno alts staged around, its a giant PITA to get to some places in null. Yes I CAN get to Tenal and the upper left hand corner of Deklein on dotlan.... that doesn't make it practical. A little NPC space fixes this.

2) If all this accomplishes is that N3/PL/CFC can't rent the SW corner of the map in a practical fashion, we've made room for another big block at least. Thats progress and buys CCP some time to fix stuff to get MORE players in the game. Then we can look at making them some more room.

3) We don't know the mechanics of the force projection nerf or the mechanics of the sov system. The nerf to force projection may make it impractical to move your slowcat/boot fleet too far from home. Those sudden sov drops can suck after all...

Maybe the blog person can explain how us supporting the tech nerf was self serving, considering we had an agreement on that due to the big coalitions owning all of it.

Do I see tears?

What does that have to do with anything except you spewing the thread.

R U Mad?

- the Goons will be no threat to them, fighting for "freedom and independence" will be silly as the last Goon they've seen in Pure Blind was a lost noob in a Rifter 3 last month.

The game is finished because the two largest blocs are too chicken to declare war on each other.

The NRDS system is a three point system. Blue, Red and Neutral. You continue to neglect the Neutrals.The NBSI system is a fence, nobody is neutral. Blue Donut is not a mechanic. It's a place in time that came about from NBSI game play. It has happened before. In addition, there are aspects of Provi Bloc NRDS I think could be improved upon and refined.

There are other factors to this, factors you haven't mentioned that make an NRDS sector of CFC unlikely.
- One, you don't have the credibility to run it.
- Two, you could argue if it did take off, you would see more PvE but not PvP. I'm pretty sure the the obvious is at play here though. The only hot spots in EVE right now are in NRDS space.
- History also shows the Nerf bat follows the populace and not mechanical balance factors. So introducing more people to Null is going to see the nerf bat make its way out of popular high sec.

By the nature of your solution you are in fact agreeing with me, NBSI is the problem. You don't want me, A Neutral to dock up in your stations. You want CCP to offer NPC stations I can dock up in. I can tell you based on the option to move to Sansha regions now has crossed my mind but I can't create supply lines to get there. I can't create a logistics scenario that lets me live there.

The true difference I think we have is, you seem content with Null populace and are fine with dividing up the Null players in to Blue and not blue. My goal for Null is to see more people in it and to include the true neutral. The people who don't hate you, don't like you, don't care what you do. They make up 70% of the EVE population.

The game is finished because the two largest blocs are too chicken to declare war on each other.

Stupid people have problems focusing on the subject.

Goon are out in force in this thread.

Goon propaganda.

yes, I tend to get angry when confronted with stupid people

but do feel free to explain, at any point, how advocating for a tech nerf was one of those self-serving actions of ours, I'm genuinely interested
