I like the idea of cap boats in high sec.

It's the cynos I don't like. I think it would make sense if you let them go through gates (or created a restriction so it didn't destroy the distance value of the market).

As for fights, I think it would make the PVE corp more disadvantaged. Imagine those high sec t3 corps with hundreds of players and then imagine them all in caps.

If you had to slow boat them, that would keep them in check.

Of course, it would destroy one more motivator for people to go to low or null...

Not really sure what that long rambling post was trying to get at.

All I got is that capitals should be allowed in highsec and I entirely agree. The losses of entire carrier fleets to suspect flagging alone would be worth it.

i dont think 99% of wardeccers would know what to do if a slowcat fleet landed on an undock, apart from dock up

99% of wardeccers cant handle a destroyer fleet just saying . Well that's not true but at the very least PIRAT seemed confused today on what to do about it on their undock.

Russians are a different set of rules...

I did not intend to characterize them.

But most of the guys I ran with for years would be happy to fly caps in high sec...

To be honest, though, I wish they would take measures to make t1 frigs relevant again before they attempt to bring caps to high sec.

Not saying they don't know what there doing but honestly it would be a death blow to high sec. Sure you know what your doing but if your dropping caps then you may get the bigger fish interested and they have years of experience in killing caps and groups. That's not to say that they would find you amusing to play with or even care about trying to kill them but you may actual draw there attention if you have enough capitals and are using them. The complete other side of the coin from use everything in high sec is a 100 percent safe high sec and that would be bad for the game and for high sec as well.

You guys have a nice middle ground that could use a few more conflict drivers give people a reason to fight and they will generally. Give them a way to fight with impunity and they will. For isk makers give them a way to be 100 percent safe and they will do that as well. Honestly a fair fight in eve only exists if you planed wrong. Everyone is looking for an advantage and if they can gain an advantage they will do so.

You realize half the **** we fly in highsec cost more then your slowcats right?

True the power blocks could crush high sec if they desired to but why should they it relay has no value to them

Dude come on, they get evicted out of Null/W-Space often enough, they can't defend themselves against the real alliances when they try, so why keep trying when it's possible to come to high-sec and suicide gank all day and war-dec all day and make billions anyways?

****** players of the game killing the young players instead of getting better to hang with the vets where it matters in null, and you think they're 'not' going to whine and cry? They're worse than the new players who don't know any better.

A war declaration has exactly zero effect on the ability of players to do anything. You can still mine, run missions and incursions and transport goods in exactly the same way as you could while not at war. If players feel that because they are at war they can't undock that restriction is entirely self imposed and as such they can free themselves of it at any time if they so desire.

The actual danger faced by people at war is incredibly variable based on who they are a war with, their proximity to that group and other variables, but essentially it just amounts to an increase in risk that needs to be accounted for and mitigated where possible.

In situations where players will do nothing but sit docked while at war what is really happening is the player is placing the value of their virtual property above the value of their gameplay: "it's better to not play at all than it is to lose a ship" or corp/alliance leadership making similar decision on the behalf of its members.

It's neither the war itself nor the aggressors who are responsible for them remaining docked, they have no control over that. In fact they'd prefer a continuation of activity, generally speaking. It is all a matter of the attitude of the defenders and their willingness to respond to emergent situations in a way that provides them with gameplay.

Is there a solution to that? I don't really know if it's actually a problem or even care for that matter. People are welcome to destroy their own game experience by sitting docked in a station for weeks at a time if they want, alternatively they can go join a different corp.
