Agreed, I've did WH's for a year and run PI in lowsec, both are fun to slip into but too stressful to live in for me.
Hisec offers me a level of risk that I don't find stressful, I'm aware that I'm playing a game where Murphy's Law is extremely active and work around it.

If CCP made high sec 'go away' we wouldn't have EVE Online anymore. The company would go bust. High sec is 'where it's at' and has been for a long time now. Even the null & low people are in high sec nowadays. You can't force people to do what they don't want to do. Null sec has to become a viable choice for smaller entities. Whether 'FozzieSov' will bring this remains to be seen. On the face of it the new system appears to an annoying concept that isn't much fun to do. It has to be enjoyable otherwise what is the point.

The only a handful of ways for you to come to anything remotely like that conclusion: you are not actually looking at the T1 cruisers in question, or you are not familiar with battleships and what they're capable of. The latter notion is further reinforced byGǪ

What an idiotic idea.
Veteran players are extremely bias to ideas like this. Being close to or at the meta level it is easy for them to survive in a dog eat dog environment. But what of the new pilots? Do not get me wrong I enjoy PvP across multiple genre's. I would love to get out there now and start blowing up ships. However, EVE is not a game where you can just jump straight into PvP and yield positive results. EVE is a very complex game with a plethora of aspects dictating a ships efficiency in combat. New players need time to interpret the wealth of information EVE has to offer. On top of learning ship mechanics; optimal and fall-off ranges; damage types; resistances; shield, armor, and speed tanking; cloak mechanics; d-scanning; drone mechanics; (my eyes are already crossing); players have to train essential skills to Level 5, which could take anywhere from 6 months to a year. PvP in EVE is calculated and proactive, reaction time and quick thinking play a small part in determining victory or defeat. High sec offers a semi safe environment where rookie pilots can experiment and discover. I am confident a lot of miners would love to get out there and do some killing. After all outsmarting another person on equal ground is such a great feeling! Yet, the risk vs. reward of PvP isn't worth it for newer pilots. Want to get some more action? Help mentor and coach new pilots! Find ways to contribute to a players PvP confidence. Too lazy to do a little hand holding? Shut up and wait for us newer pilots to catch up!

Had you bothered to read the thread before posting, you would have seen that many of the players who ridicule the idea of removing highsec are those same veteran players you mentioned.

The latter notion is further reinforced byGǪ I like how you're utterly confident at telling me I'm wrong without actually ever defining anything. Battleships of old were considered to be doing well to be +750 DPS. Catalysts can reach +760 dps today. I have cruisers that do +1000 dps which is enough to hang with the current level of battleship dps. Since we have been talking about the OLD gank battleship setups from +8 years ago that is the only numbers that are relevant. Comparing the gank ships to modern battleships that have gone through rounds of buffs piloted with characters that have skills and modules that didn't exist then with implants that didn't exist then isn't part of the discussion.
In PVE gank is tank. The more dps you have the less tank you can run.

It's not him being dense here; it's you not knowing what the skill tree looks like, and it's you that suddenly changed the parameters just to try (and utterly fail) to disprove what he said. Yeah 3 days of extra training that could be used for more effective dps increasing skills. When you're spending extra isk to train your alt or taking days off from your main to train a gank alt those 3 days matter greatly. Also as I stated earlier getting to BC IV is far faster and easier than BS IV. Nothing about this is hilarious other then your attempts at misrepresenting what I state. It's like your ego can't take the fact that I'm right that pocket battleships makes it easier to get into ganking.
Quote:Oh, you mean the module that a gank ship can't really use, especially not to warp in directly on someone, due to its adverse effects on the ship's combat capability? So yeah, engagement envelope is relevant. Oh for god's sake there's no reason for you to be pretending to be stupid. You know damned well the organized that gank groups all the way down to the miner ganker in the back woods of eve will use a ship for a warp in point.

Your number only proved my point to be correct. The fact that you can't see such a blindingly obvious concept is proof that you're being intentionally dishonest. There is nothing to be gained from discussing anything in such a situation.
Do keep in mind there was no isk value limit placed on said cruiser build. If you can't figure it out I might post some builds for you after work if I'm bored. |

Newbies trying to get help and the fact that corp management takes >9 minutes to train on an alt would limit the effectiveness of such a plan. I guess the cost of creating the corporation might have some effect. |

We both know you were wrong. If you want to just own up to it and change your stance now, rather than try to make up some transparent lie about how it was what you meant all along, then that's fine, but just accept the simple fact of the matter: you were laughably wrong.

Veteran players are extremely bias to ideas like this. Being close to or at the meta level it is easy for them to survive in a dog eat dog environment. But what of the new pilots? Do not get me wrong I enjoy PvP across multiple genre's. I would love to get out there now and start blowing up ships. However, EVE is not a game where you can just jump straight into PvP and yield positive results. EVE is a very complex game with a plethora of aspects dictating a ships efficiency in combat. New players need time to interpret the wealth of information EVE has to offer. On top of learning ship mechanics; optimal and fall-off ranges; damage types; resistances; shield, armor, and speed tanking; cloak mechanics; d-scanning; drone mechanics; (my eyes are already crossing); players have to train essential skills to Level 5, which could take anywhere from 6 months to a year. PvP in EVE is calculated and proactive, reaction time and quick thinking play a small part in determining victory or defeat. High sec offers a semi safe environment where rookie pilots can experiment and discover. I am confident a lot of miners would love to get out there and do some killing. After all outsmarting another person on equal ground is such a great feeling! Yet, the risk vs. reward of PvP isn't worth it for newer pilots. Want to get some more action? Help mentor and coach new pilots! Find ways to contribute to a players PvP confidence. Too lazy to do a little hand holding? Shut up and wait for us newer pilots to catch up!
What an idiotic post. Had you bothered to read the thread before posting, you would have seen that many of the players who ridicule the idea of removing highsec are those same veteran players you mentioned.
Nope, all veteran players completely bias!

Nope, all veteran players are completely biased in regards to removing high-sec. Better? I still feel something is missing. English composition was never my forte, I had to take it twice D:
