Originally by: Chomapuraku Edited by: Chomapuraku on 03/11/2007 20:53:53 where to begin? as with any large project, let's start with a feasibility analysis:
with that attitude, no corp in 0.0 will take you. thus, you will have neither the location, logistics, firepower, cash, or resources to put up an outpost
if you did manage to do it solo (after six months of intensive carebearing or $2000 of ebayed isk/gtc's), there's a 95% chance that a 5-man roaming gang passing through would turn into a 50-man support gang and a 10-man cap fleet within an hour, and you'd be spending the next 3-4 days either locked in your station, unable to pass through the bubblecamp at the undock point, or popped and locked out of your station, because someone would pop the cloning service and you'd respawn in empire and be unable to pass the bubble camps leading into your system. then, after downtime a few days later, sov would switch, they'd shoot your station, and they would take it and name it in a way that ridicules you.
EVE is not like WOW or COH/COV. you don't just solo your way up to the best content in the game. you have to fight for it, and with a lot of highly-skilled friends. sure, you can solo lvl 4 missions pretty easily, but only a bug in game mechanics lets you survive the first ten seconds of a 10/10 complex or exploration site without a few dedicated repair ships. you can mine veldspar in empire solo no prob, but you need a space-holding alliance in good 0.0 space to mine the high-end ores (and even then, roaming gangs can still come in and pop you).
just a slight change should be added... you don't need high skilled players to help you... skilling helps tough, but it's not nessesary... a lot of new players can also accomplish a LOT... maybe no capital battles, but for that you can hire mercs to do that for you (no, mercs are not your friends, they might act like one if you hire them, otherwise.....)
and building an outpost by yourself is possible. it takes a lot of work and effort, but it CAN be done. however, holding it is another different matter. Large pos's are a few billion each, they all need a lot of defensive modules and fuel, and this is a completely different issue.
now i await being flamed by the op 
edit : outpost can only be build in 0.0 systems without npc sovereignty
