The other points you make about a new corp/alliance making headway into Sov space can be fix by politics. Yes politics. There are Sov alliances out there that are I am sure a bunch of dastardly bastards who want no one else to hold Sov, but there are also a fair share that I am sure are open to diplomatic approach. No one can control all of 0.0.
That is why coalitions are formed. That is why alliances allow others into their space. I admitted earlier that I am new, but I have read about how in the past such-and-such alliance got kicked out of their space and this-or-that group shared space with them until they got back up on their feet.
I think in the end there are quite a few things wrong with null that need to be changed, and they were brought up in the winter minutes. Sov bills are retardedly(sic) expensive. Tech moons either need a rebalance or need to be tied in with Sov ownership in my opinion. However, these things can be worked around with perseverance, and determination.
in responce: the issue that i currently see with diplomatic solutions is that as the corp/alliance wanting to move next to that powerblock, you have to do all the giving, wether it be renting, being on call to defend local "BOSS" assets, and so on...
if you agree to this total submission then you imedietly become a target for the rest of NULL as they will most definatly find it easyer to take out your corner compared to your "BOSS". being a small corner asset of a "coalition" just means that they know where the hostile fleet is, currently removing you from the face of sed systems, they will most probably not see a need to actuly protect you as in the end of the day you are there to be a buffer.
there is also the issue that most blocks will consided you and your corp/alliance to have some hidden agena "working for the enemy ECT. this is why most Blocks have the NBSI rule as standard.

People don't want to use perserverance or determination.. they want things handed to them, like it is in hisec. Many people are so scared of even losing a frigate, they would never dream of going into lowsec for fear of evil pirates.
Goonfleet was formed long after the major players of nullsec were firmly established (Band of Brothers in particular), and we were regarded as hilarious children that would soon be put in our place by the mighty BoB. As you said, we were kicked (well, sov-billed) out of our space more than once, but we were taken in by a great group of people who called themselves Tau Ceti Federation. They let us crash on their couch in Deklein, get back on our feet, and train up into ships bigger than rifters. A couple years later, and you see what has happened, for good or bad, whatever your perspective.
Bottom line, make friends. Friends are the most important resource in Eve, and very, VERY few people, corps, or alliances can go far without them.
you sir,compleatly missunderstand my personal and alliance veue on SOV warfare and the sometimes strained diplomatic ties that go hand in hand with it.
we in General TSOs alliance dont want all of this given to us. we are not mission runners, incursion grinders, miners, WHs or PVP shy. yes we have members that are some of these things, but we will happily fight a loosing battle, even if only in defyance of our agressors. we live out on LOW sec and have done for 3-4 years now.
we just dont see the point in spending out time having to make isk to pay some moon goo gorgend SOV block just so that they secide not to kill us today.. |
