Serious question: What has the current CSM done to nerf NPC nullsec?
There was the proposal to make it possible to disable NPC nullsec stations, keeping the very high EHP and making them automatically regenerate at a set rate. The intention behind this being that it would be possible to disable NPC nullsec staging systems (which often can be used to stage an attack on Sov 0.0) but not just knocking out station services "for the lulz". It there more?
I mean that IS a nerf, but from my perspective it seems like a weak ground to claim "the current CSM wants to nerf NPC 0.0 without opposition", especially since I know there is at least one non-sovholding PVP-focused alliance representative in the current CSM. |

Their power comes directly from their supercap fleet, which doesn't use stations anyways. Supercapital staging POSs for these alliances already exist, yet no one shoots them. Even with very high EHP, there is nothing to prevent supercapitals from doing the job efficiently, for the lulz.
I don't think the actions of one alliance and sov holder's inability to deal with them should hurt the rest of the players who chose to live in NPC 0.0. A distinction chould be made between NPC regions, and player regions with NPC systems (FDZ in geminate, NPC delve/fountain)
I'm not too concerned with diluting the pool of candidates, I wouldnt vote for anyone who's currently running anyways. As for there being non-sovholding representatives on the CSM, their opposition to these ideas are absent from the most recent minutes, so they might as well have no opposition at all.
I may have been a little to subtle as to the identity of two of the non-sovholding representatives I was speaking of. You're claiming that a CSM council with a member and an alternate in pandemic legion are proposing a change to NPC 0.0 solely to nerf...pandemic legion? Well, okay.
I'm not sure why it would at all be worthwhile to take out a staging PoS when your enemy can easily put up another one for people undocking from the station to form up in, unless you could...say...knock out that station's fitting service.
And you're still using ideas in the plural when as far as I've known there's only one.
Anyways, you have my like in the interest of ~star democracy~ |
