I don't know what game you play but less than a year ago the CFC and Rus super cap fleets laid waste to the flagship fleets of PL and N3. We did exactly what you ask of us. You might of heard it, it was the Bloodbath at BR5. Did this change anything apart from the price of Tritanium in Jita? No, the largest sov holding alliances in game are the PL and N3 renter allicances. Sonething else needs to change.

And that fails to fix the fundamental malady of nullsec - a system of entrenched alliances who refuse to engage in the kind of total war that would really shake things up and allow new powerblocs to emerge.

And the point is that the suggestions do nothing to create the conditions to make that large supercapital engagement more likely. They are geared towards getting smaller blocs to engage with larger ones - not towards getting the large blocs to directly engage with each other. And that fails to fix the fundamental malady of nullsec - a system of entrenched alliances who refuse to engage in the kind of total war that would really shake things up and allow new powerblocs to emerge.

So, more NPC 0.0 space WITHIN conquerable regions, basically provide a safe haven for whatever fleet wants to **** on or harass anyone they want within a couple jumps of anywhere, so how does system defense, or the entire point of SOV, even come into play here? cause "untouchable safe haven for the guys who are just waiting to **** on us with their fleet 4-5 jumps from our space" does not "conquerable regions" mesh

also, occupancy SOV always bothered me, basically you want a system that will advertise for you what systems have the highest density PvE (because lets face it, there will NEVER be enough PvP in a system someone wants SOV in to outdo PvE in ANY index), just so it can get perma-harassed/camped/roamed by every shitlord in a massive blob alliance already?

neither one of these will change anything with nullsec, every fight will still be "form fleet with blues" followed by "camp/**** on smaller guys trying to make their way in nullsec until they quit or agree to throw away their identity and join a big blob empire" or "OH **** OH **** those arent little guys they have roughly the same number of people as us, stand down, go home, we wasted 5 hours"

none of that will change, in fact, these 2 changes in particular will make it even EASIER for the big guy to take a warm smelly dump on whatever little guy they want.

I feel like more NPC space well just allow the blue dount to get bigger. But other then that looks pretty good.

These entities who have signed this document are historically the most bitter of foes...

bwahahahahhaahhaa the most bitter of foes that wont go to war with eachother but rather drop supers on newbie-pilots and rp'ers???

How about this for fixing 0.0 by joint venture... PL and goons mans up and shreds OTEC - voila 0.0 fixed???

a wild venetian tar appears

it's not that PL won't go to war with us it's that N3 won't go to war with us without PL holding their hands through the process

So why not go to war with both of them? Literally nothing is stopping the CFC from deploying its supercapital fleet and looking for a major battle ala BR5.

So the leaders of Null Sec SOV holding Alliances are tired of playing naked diplomacy Twister? Have you decided who's going to pull out of whos bum first?

CCP can change null SOV to this but at the end of the day its the diplomatic meta circle jerk thats the real issue with Null. CCP needs to go bigger and get rid of SOV structures and timers like SBUs, TCUs, Station Timers and docking rights. Then diplomacy can happen on a granular/local level and will be much more fluid.

If you occupy the system etc then with the IHUB upgrades you get more and more benefits from the station like Agents, Services, etc and your docking radius gets bigger as you use the system etc. Tip of the iceberg stuff but you get the point.

Anywhoo.....great idea with the NPC space......but please make sure the new SOV system you promote can also be gamed into another diplomatic pretzel. It would be a shame if we didn't see The Martini pretending year after year the its not his fault for Null Sec being a stagnant puppet show...

what happens when one party wins? do you like questions in answer to your question? ahhhhhhhhh

Cutting down the amount of maga-coalitions from 3 to 2 or 1 isn't much of a solution.

THE NULL DEAL: A STATEMENT FROM SOVEREIGN 0.0

We, the undersigned alliance leaders of conquerable nullsec, are deeply concerned by the risk of another Dominion-style expansion making the existing mechanics of sovereignty even worse than they are today. We have put aside our many differences and brutal rivalries to advocate for the following three touchstones of a prospective sovereignty revamp. We hope that announcing the following united proclamation gives game developers at CCP the freedom they need to make the following drastic yet necessary changes.

OCCUPANCY-BASED SOVEREIGNTY

We believe that ownership of territory should be reflected by alliance occupancy. Players should live in and utilize their space, and player infrastructure and activity should be reflected in an occupancy index. We believe this will significantly shrink the footprints of the current absentee empires, free up large sections of sov 0.0 for smaller entities, and remove the current need for vast coalitions.

NPC 0.0 IN EVERY SOV REGION

We believe that regions which contain several unconquerable NPC systems and stations generate platforms for small-scale PVP content and launching points for smaller alliances. We believe that Fountain provides superior gameplay for both sovholders and guerillas than Omist. We wish to see small footprints of NPC 0.0 seeded in every conquerable region which lacks them, from Tenal to Omist.

INCREASED PLAYER DENSITY

We believe that vast swathes of conquerable nullsec are essentially worthless to our line members and can only support the activity of a handful of players in each system. We would like to see the value of individual systems increased to support a dense ecosystem of players undocked and interacting within single system.

don't support the idea, and i explain why :



I hope CCP developer don't wait player to think about change And don't make change because a kind of player ask. But yes if you want change 0.0 rules. People who live in 0.0 can ask for they and CCP want to change this. So for the moment: nothing new.




In fact it already exist, if you want upgrade number of anomy/signature of a system. Extend to sov conquest system is just ... a joke.
Now just some problem:
A) Perma clocker camp your system, you can't pie/dig cause he can kill your ship, if you bait he has 50 friend who arrive. So 2 choice : fight (and loss a lot of ship and they to, so you like this only if you are pvp player), and if they win fight : they win your system, great choice. Don't do nothing wait... loose sov. Actually people who ant take dove must have some logistic. wight his you don't need.
B) You said to free up to small entities... But in fact you just make a copy of low sec with this. Smaller entity can't play H24 because maybe no people in one time zone, so ninja people come, juste make more activity... SURPRISE you loose system.
C) Vast coalition can continue to exist with this system, in fact they are just the alone who can survive with this, because can defend some system, and perm bank all the other. Smelt like people who search easy target who try to save they 're sov every 2 day.



A) Foutain for exemple have a lot of very powerful moon but in exchange it's an area who you can disrupt farming easier as other area. You already have "guerrilla" in other area of 0.0. They just deploy some POS to have "temporary safe". Sovholder must broke this tower for they safety and the guerrilla must send new.So yea they spend iso to tower and it's not only pew pew.
B) Permit to all player to have safe staging in each 0.0... and if i reminder CCP want nerf projection force and make outpost destructible. So you try to broke the idea of hell camp in 0.0 by full staging in NPC area. Counter the update before update come. Nice try...
C)Eve is NOT a PVP game it IS a SANDBOX game, some player want live in deep 0.0 to have less problem with pirates for exemple. So you want they play unsafe everywhere for your fun of pvp and forget people who prefer to play for other thing.



A) Make 0.0 more unsafe means pvp people come to have content yes.But industrial can just leave. So you just make an exchange of population.
B) In fact low density player means easy to conquer for small entities with more density when power projection be fixed.
C) if you really want increase density : allow to deploy gate defense who can uncloack ship and gun like POS to counter small gang. And you see more people in 0.0 because safer as now for all pacifist people.



Conclusion : Change sov system: why not.
- All other thing on the post : just no. I thin better thing can be doing to " change" 0.0 if you want. And maybe people must start to understand on thing:

Empire : war dec and suicide gank pvp/ PVE and miner car fly with some protection.
LS: smale gangandFactionnal warfare./ PVE and miner can have a lot of difficulty to be here.
W.H: between LS and 0.0
0.0: Large scale pvp./ You need strand industry to survive and finance your pvp fleet.

This change are here to forget the industrial part of 0.0 to increase pressure and power of the PVP part i think.

I like how it is hyped as some kind of meaningful thing with actual impact on anything.

+1.
