It's OK. I am sure before long, they will set up committees.

The real question about this NONA - what is their war-winning cookie-cutter?
MWD blaster Thorax? AC Rupture? Interceptor wolf-packs?
Do they fit nos and ECM to everything?

Battleships
OK, but what type, and set up how? Is it all sniper blob wars with Megathrons and Tempests, or do they prefer to fight up close? Are Gankageddons used a lot? Are Ravens the most common type of battleship?
Do they use Fraps?

why need to hold the 00 entry gates if u holds all outpost?
prevent the animy rating?
rating is not the problem in Chinese server. they don't want to hold any 0.0 space they just kill everyone in their sight and holds the outpost is the winner.
Sounds like a gap in the market for something like -V- Alliance. A competent group of raiders based in NPC-sovereignty 0.0 would quickly teach them that possessing a station without controlling access and egress from local space is a dumb idea.

That's astonishing. It sounds like he's basically employing players to completely control the server, effectively buying out the game.
Which is pretty boring.
Seems to me like there is a fundamental difference in gamer culture here - recreational gaming vs powergaming. I would guess most people on Tranquility are students and young professionals who put in their 4 hours per night, not even every night of the week. Over there, I would guess it's patrons of 24-hour Internet cafes, playing from one downtime to the next. The point when it becomes a job is bad enough, but when it has become a job for everyone else? I don't envy them.

I have no doubt that what we see there is going to happen on Tranquility, and I say sooner rather than later. The nature of the game promotes professionalization of corps and alliances, and what they are doing over there is just professionalization to a whole new level.
I doubt it.
If what we are hearing is true, for all that to happen over here, the alliances would have to start approaching us, offering us free ships and equipment on demand and a full subsidy of our subscriptions, while paying us a RL salary.
If the package were to be competitive enough, many people would accept it. However, the game would quickly die because the end-game would be a state where everyone has been hired by the same entity.
We all know that no-one has the resources to achieve this here.

It is not uncommon for high rollers to spend an ungodly sum of money at Las Vegas, or Monte Carlo. I can imagine a situation where somebody, or some group, would want to win so bad that they'd throw a lot of money into the thing. More money has been thrown into hobbies for far less than what EVE is.
People want to win, and are willing to do what it takes. It never ceases to amaze me on Tranquility the lengths some will go through. The things the Chinese are doing are just an extention of the same desire BoB or any other alliance has. They win because they are able to do what the other side cannot do.
EVE isn't cool enough in the West for anyone to bother trying. In Entropia, yeah. Here, I just don't see it ever happening.
