(Views are my own, not my alliance or corp's)
Is there any possibility of getting a few of the larger alliances to agree on a nuetral outpost in the new region ?
If, in theory, I could **** out a Minmatar Refining Outpost in a central spot in the new area, does anyone here think its possible to get a flag of no agression there?
You could fight in the system, you could camp the station. You may have to fight to get your haulers in there. You may not succeed, but nobody attacks the station. Sometimes gate camps would have to be smashed, sometimes people who fight for who controlled the system, but the station would allways be open for anyone.
I thought about throwing down 5 bill on MC for a short time, but it just doesnt seem like it falls in their pervue and I couldnt afford them forever.
I would think that it would be very exciting. Imagine sitting there with your corp saying "We have to get these three haulers through - no matter what, so protect the haulers! And then diving into a hostile camp head first! I can think of tons of fun possibilites, but it would be very hard if I was constantly fueling and defending POS's.
What do you guys think ? Is there room in Eve, on the frontier for somthing like this ? A place where anyone can dock, and you may well meat your hated enemy in the station's bar.

Edited by: Rod Blaine on 14/12/2006 19:06:15 You migth get them to agree by making ti be in their interest to. That's what ISS tried, along with counting on some regular goodwill. It worked decently so far, altho their road has been bumpy now and then.
If there is however no reason for anyone to not attack you, chances are you'll be attacked at some point.

Might cost you a bit though ;)

The general thought would be that you wouldnt want to attack because you would *need* the outpost.
It only works in the new regions (Sorry DB, besides, your regions are nice arleady) because there would be no other place to refine / buy / sell. You'd really NEED it. Right now getting booted from ISS isnt much, there are stations all over.
The sheer deterant of getting booted from there would discourage attacks. And with 4 or 5 Large Death-Star POS's it would take a fleet to knock them offline. If agreement could be made amongst the large players, it could probably work.

Tbh the large alliances aren't your concern, its the smaller alliances which haven't invested billions into infrastructure in their current space who are most likely to try and take over the outpost. -----

The problems is there are lots of alliances with fleets large enough to do it, some might even do it just for fun. ---------------------------------------- A Guide to Scan Probing in Revelations |

Yup. RAZOR is one of the larger regional powers up there if my reserach is correct.
What if I got set up with one alliance or another ? The more I hear the more discourged I get that the idea cant fly.
If some large, territorial power were to claim a region, then I could put it up there and sync with their standings. I can see that working. Any "Large Territorial Powers" up for it ?
Seems the consensus is that this wont work though. Which is sad, would be a crap ton of fun.

And CCP has done nothing but promote that mentality. Between the crappy way sovereignty works and instas/wtz, controlling the galaxy is entirely within the realm of possibility.

Anyone that wants to knows where BoB lives, and can go try and take their regions. Now is in fact a good time as they are moderatly occupied.
But thats not the subject of this thread :~)
Frack. I wanted to put up an outpost out there.

This is territory even ISS won't tread it seems. I could actually imagine the major alliances agreeing to it, but you'll never get the pirates to agree, and that will be the problem. ---- AUS Corp Lead Megalomanic |

Yup. A while back the idea of a pirate group with enough dreads seemed slim. That time seems to have passed, if not its passing soon.
CCP should just put up 3 Conquerable outposts there.
Then remove all the moons from that system. No Sov for anyone.
Now that would rock.

Get good friends, build your own, make it public (with docking fees and all that stuff ISS does too) and defend it with your friends. No, ex-NFC can't considered as good friends. You are #27 in queue to see this signature. |

Remember I cant speak for my alliance or corp.
I have friends, no worries there.
But without regional backing it would never happen. Just really a pipe dream anyway.

You couldn't get the big alliances to agree to buy a pencil case, let alone an outpost. ---------------------------------------------------

We do live next door to the new regions but I was not really talking about razor here, doubt we would take a neutral station just for fun. But I am not part of the razor command structure so I wouldn't really know.
But just take a look at what happened in providence where a pirate coalition attacked an outpost there just for fun. If they did it again in the new regions far from friendly support they might actually succeed. ---------------------------------------- A Guide to Scan Probing in Revelations |

its far too risky atm unless you have a LOT of military backing and a LOT of friends
right now, out there, you have neither
hiring mercs does nothing really but delay the inevitable
remember: its much cheaper to take a station than it is to build one (unless you somehow lose your entire capital fleet in the process, like ERA) ----------- Turbulance |

the problem is that it would be like npc station in 0.0 and npc stations in 0.0 are bad mmm¦kay.
okay agreed i like the idea (kinda) and its good that ppl come up with new approaches to game but this particular objective would only be achievable if the system has no moons as you said, now i think the only possible way to do something similiar is to plant "pirate outpost" in there, u pay for the docking ( this goes to pos fuel) and it allows only small alliances and corporations to dock in it, anyone expect the major alliances (lets say have to be under 300 members) allow corporations who are not in alliance to dock in there also and create contacts so u can get those 50 small corps and alliances to help defend the place if need be, ofc this also might fail and ofc there is a change someone will look there and say " nice outpost, we take it."........

My money is on ISS. I guess they have just got to find a decent spot to put it.
