Current mechanics mean the only way to kill a Hisec POS (owned by intelligent people) is to RF it then Suicide Gank it once it comes out of RF. Couple thousand alpha tornados per POS, sounds fun. |

While they don't seem to grasp the simple reality that for high sec miners it's not about cutting in to the profits of me, me, me goons, it's simply content in a game and if they keep it up those players will go find a game that actually provides real content rather than some fantasy RMT entropia, none of this really plays out with high sec POS ownership.
They own a good chunk of Tech moons. If you're building T2, you're paying them.
If you're manufacturing T1 at a POS for profit, well.... Ok. |

For the alliance holding the outpost cost of productions is next to 0. Actually, 0.0 production can't compete with all the highsec factory slots. Nullsec production capacity in stations is incredibly limited: we have like 10 slots available...in factory stations, which are "dedicated" to building things. We import the vast majority of things we need from highsec because (and CCP hasn't figured this out in eight years) highsec lends itself a thousand times more easily to building things than nullsec does.
This, and the Factory slots in null outposts cost what, a billion isk per to build (ignoring *all* other benefits of having an outpost, and unwilling to actually look up the cost of an outpost), that's a lot of hours to break even at 10k isk/hr (115 year breakeven). |

Ocih wrote:You guys are confusing easier with cheaper. When you look at POS fuel costs in Sov systems for parts production, make final products in Stations and run Industry as an efficient model it's better to be a nullbear than a high sec bear. Both by way of greed and bad mechanics, null crews don't want Industrial players in thier ranks though and for that, I say tough.
You forgot shipping. Add in shipping HUGE volumes of raw materials down, and similarly huge volumes of finished products up, and there goes your Nullsec "efficiency" many times over. |

Ocih wrote:[quote=RubyPorto] You are doing it wrong. Why are you shipping anything in? It's easier to min veld in high sec. Not better, easier. Everything you need to produce in null sec is in Null sec. You aren't exploiting it as a production tool. The only thing you need to ship in are datcores and last time I checked they can be brough in by the tens of thousands in a T2 cloaked hauler of if need be, a jump freighter.
Why mine Veld if I can mine Ark? Isk/hr is better by a margin that more than accounts for shipping costs.
Easier+Safer for the same reward = Better
More importantly, why mine at all if I can get CONCORD to pour isk into my pocket instead?
And plenty of Alliances recuit industrial corps. They're called Renters. PvP Corps support the alliance by directly fighting for Sov. Renters support the alliance by providing resources, Isk, materials, etc.
Moon Goo/Components are yet another thing you're forgetting you need to import. |

Quote: I've lived in null, you would know that if you read my employment history. I have 4 accounts, a pure productions specialits up to and including Titans, a pure mining (ice and Ores), refining, reproc and manufaturing account, a Pure PvP account and a mixed PvP capital and PvE grinder account. Every alliance without fail found use for the PvP pitbull account and didn't give a **** about the other 3 because it meant they might have to share.
The fact is, high sec is convenient, null sec is not. Don't cry on my shoulder because you can't be bothered. As for the renters comment, that's just pure Bull **** greed through and through and goes back to what I said before. Cartel's and Mafia's.
Back to the OP: The answer is the same. Greed and high sec POS doesn't interfere with thier greed.
How were your Indy toons going to benefit the alliance? Were you going to provide ships and mods at Jita prices? (nope) a small markup? (nope) a large markup (Bingo) Otherwise it's not worthwhile to do.
Convenient = Lower Opportunity Cost (and mineral cost via hisec), Lower Opportunity Cost = Cheaper, (in manufacturing) Cheaper = Better
I can't be bothered because it's (for most things) more work for less reward than doing the manufacturing in HS and importing the results. It's why I have nearly 1mil m3 of minerals from hauler spawns sitting in my hangar. |

Andski wrote: Actually, alliances have ship replacement programs because they don't want line members burning out from grinding up ISK to replace their ships. I don't know what worthless, failed alliances you were in, but we don't have "war taxes." Our tax rate is always 15%. Are we peacefully riding bikes? 15% tax. Are our CSAA towers on fire, core systems SBUed and reinforced? 15% tax. No CTAs, no red pen nonsense.
Goons are genuinely friendly people. They help their own and after they try to (or succeed in) burning your submarinepixel house down around your ears, they'll drop some friendly links to goatse and lemonparty to help cheer you up. Now, if you get mad about your submarinepixel house burning down around your ears, well that's just you being inhospitable, and it'll earn you a right proper trolling.
Ocih wrote: Jita Prices? I can't sell Titans and Carriers in Jita. Doesn't it strike you as odd that someone says they can make Titans and you think having them in your alliance is more of a threat than not having them in your alliance? That doesn't seem just plain wrong to you?
Carriers/Dreads can be (and are, and are best) built and sold in lowsec. Supers are easy to build (the capital and infrastructure is the hard part), and the Alliance leadership has to trust that you're not going to sell to neutrals. So... yeah a supercap building toon without an alliance is less of a threat than an untrustworthy one in alliance. |

They can field the dps, even in highsec (unless too negative sec status), they can also fund war decs.
Or are goons really just paper tiger? I think the answer to your question has something to do with the words 'attention span'
Agreed, the Goons don't have the attention span to do something like keep the price of a certain racial isotope inflated for months through a dedicated and efficient campaign of suicide ganking miners.... oooh, Look, it's Boo. Boo come back here, let me help you find Minsc, Boo...... |

What rot. POS's can build **** too. Maybe YOU haven't figure THAT out in your 12 years of life. 1 x component array will take 10 jobs. 1 x equipment array can take what, 6. But it needs MINERALS. Might be it's just soooooooo much easier to import than get the leets to go "mining". GASP!
POSes are equally available in Hisec, and gathering minerals and POS fuel is easier (thus cheaper). Combine with the fact that you cannot kill a hisec POS whose owner has half a brain, and the POS argument falls apart |

Nope. Hisec Towers are immune from anything short of a suicide gank (10k or so alpha tornados) because you can limit the time your corp can be shot at to 24hrs. Welcome to the new era of the Decshield. |
