Edited by: Deathifier on 07/12/2007 20:45:06 Hi, just want to get peoples opinions on this. In my travels through the world of Eve, I've noticed in a few regions of empire space Alliances claiming ownership of low sec (0.1-0.4) systems and operating a NBSI policy. For neutrals doing missions in these systems it amounts to piracy under another name.
Is this low-sec empire 'land grab' fairly common throughout the eve galaxy, and if so what do you think of this style of play. Imho it's a method for carebear alliances who woudln't hack it in 0.0 to push their weight around. But that's just my opinion.

And.... a lot of these alliances are claiming to be industry/mining carebear type alliances yet their actions don't fit their description, and smacktalk any non alliance that enter the systems.

NBSI in low-sec is pretty much piracy - or at least serial murder, since they may not be after ransom. Alliances claiming low-sec under any other ROE are quite legitimate; pirate-filled low-sec is a great place to learn things while building skillpoints and assets before a move to any other kind of 0.0 space. (Also helps if your first move is to, say, a pirate-infested NPC-run hell of a 0.0 like....Syndicate.)
Just one guy's thoughts, anyhow.

I prefer that style of play to the style that is "oh noes, I lost a ship and need to cry about it on COAD".

lol well they'd be posting on the wrong forum for starters 
I had one particular alliance in mind when creating this post though. Needless to say they should be losing quite a few towers over the coming months

personally i think it would be nice to put the alliance name on low security systems with a kind of sub-sovereignty for systems i think protectorate is a way to put it (?)
anyway stop posting no one really cares about empire anyway

My old alliance practiced NRDS in low sec, protecting mission runners (who incidentally were our members or friends and certainly no carebears. Mission running ships are great for ganking small gangs of pirates. they don't come back).
Then an NBSI alliance moved in. We NAP'ed them since we were smaller, but in the end they were such a bunch of *******s in the way they treated their members and others in the region, they got booted out and fell apart

Been out of region for a while, but one of my old friends still there said that some NBSI groups had started moving in again (different ones). History repeating itself?
Basically, alliances that are just made of pirates that want cheap ganks and no effort to actually foster relations with other corps / groups have a short life expectancy

The validity of these claims is not based on your, or anyone else's judgment, but on how effectively they can kill you.
The universe is hostile, so impersonal, devour to survive, so it is, so it's always been.

Maybe you should stop making foolish assumptions first. The reason I created this post was due to a convo I seen on local chat a few days ago, with a lot of smacktalk coming from the mission runner. I'm not really into mission running tbh and as you already mentioned my corp name suggests :) I just wanted to find out if claiming virtual soverignty (sp) over low sec empire systems was common through eve.

People shoot people. And then, like, people totally shoot them back.
If someone says they "own" low-sec space, and they effectively control what goes on in it, and no-one is stopping them, then they own it. Whether you call it piracy, murder or territorial control is really neither here nor there when talking about blowing up internet spaceships.
Personally, I'd say that blowing people up in your own 0.0 space is "defence", doing it in other peoples 0.0 is "raiding" (no WoW connotations intended), doing it lots in other peoples territory is "invading", and doing it in Empire is "piracy". But thats just me. ------

You'll find some alliances get pretty provincial over their favorite pipes into no-sec.

NBSI in 0.0 is piracy NBSI in lowsec is piracy NBSI in highsec is piracy
No-one cares that you call them that unless you're a bigger entity that can wardec them and prove they're pirates through force of arms.

Well, I do. I expecially love how the OP cloaked his whine for getting ganked in low sec with this thread.
Pay attention tard, I gave the reasons I created this thread above. I'm not a mission runner/carebear type. Now stop flaming and return to your Tardswarm plz
