Aaron	Posted - 2008.12.15 13:40:00 - [1] id like to find out what the average empire pilot thinks about 0.0. Seriously, more independents should come out here, dont believe the hype 0.0 isnt as bad as they say.
LooknSee	Posted - 2008.12.15 13:43:00 - [2] We feel whatever fun there is to be had there is more than outweighed by the sources of "not fun"(tm). Why else wouldn't we be there?
Armoured C Gallente Federation of Freedom Fighters Executive Outcomes	Posted - 2008.12.15 13:54:00 - [3] i love 0.0 i want to never go back apart from traveling through to more 0.0
Dihania Gallente SniggWaffe	Posted - 2008.12.15 13:55:00 - [4] Originally by: LooknSee We feel whatever fun there is to be had there is more than outweighed by the sources of "not fun"(tm). Why else wouldn't we be there? Well most of high sec dwellers do not know how 0.0 is because they have never been there and are probably intoxicated by what other people say. Some high sec dwellers have been in 0.0, were either not into anything related to pvp, could not watch local and did not understand that instant isk is not always better or too newby to cope with the corp/alliance ops nad/or rules (or something in between) = more or less week souce. Some high sec dwellers have been to 0.0 and know what it is about but prefer high sec because it is more relaxed, do not like politics, are alts, etc. Join "join sniggwaffe" in game. Good Service!

Karille Gallente Sharks With Frickin' Laser Beams	Posted - 2008.12.15 14:04:00 - [7] I'm going to offer my sagacious wisdom to you. They think treadmills are more fun than stair steppers. Think about that for a while and you'll understand. Vote for Karille next CSM cycle. Forum players need a voice too.

Elrca Brutor tribe	Posted - 2008.12.15 14:14:00 - [10] Originally by: MuffinsRevenger Allways did enjoy it, but gatecamps get old so fast that i prefere to stay in empire :p Got to agree, PvP in 0.0 (infact anywhere in eve) seems to be Gatecamp or Station camp ...both involved sitting about and waiting...waiting to finally get a target and hope you can lock and shot it fast enough before it goes pop! There was some good times in the old days of 200 vs 200 ... and ofcourse bubble tastic in ec- (it was ec-... I think, you know the 0.0 point thats 100% camped..ah those good olde ASCN days....) But now I'm happly playing casually in Empire.....

Dr Sheepbringer Gallente	Posted - 2008.12.15 14:18:00 - [11] As for living it's nice. Hauling stuff does suck from time to time. Specially when you loose stuff, but in general it's much more interesting. Stop whining.
Aaron	Posted - 2008.12.15 14:21:00 - [12] Ok heres the deal, i live in a system that is reasonably quite, yes ive had lots of losses but ive also made lots of isk, Ive put more than 2 billion isk worth of ships/modules on the market in my system but now i need pilots to live here and consume. there are still a few offices here and very good rats. Its quite simple really, come down have a look and we can help eachother make isk. you dont have to join my corp, come down and be part of the economy. Maybe we could form an unofficial alliance, sounds like good fun to me.

Janu Hull Caldari Terra Incognita Ethereal Dawn	Posted - 2008.12.15 14:27:00 - [14] For my personal take on 0.0, I'll divide it into two parts. NPC space, which is Outer Ring, Venal, Curse, Stain, the Great Wildlands and the like. The other part is sovreign space. Player controlled territory. In NPC space: Most station systems are camped up the wazoo by some alliance or another, either coming up or freshly kicked out of sovreign space. The real challenge is learning to live without station access, or learning the local scene well enough to slip in and out during the resident's off peak hours. The best solution having a force strong enough to earn their respect and some blue standings, but this requires you to be willing to butt heads without getting personal about it, and can be pretty expensive in terms of lost ships. In Sovreign space: Unless you're in the Providence Region, God help you. You can't drop a POS without the local landlords knowing about it. You can't access stations without standings. And the first time you encounter one of the locals, they'll have you ID'd in an intel channel, and the moment you get anywhere near their core space, they'll have a gatecamp waiting for you. Breaking into sovreign 0.0 space requires contacts. Very few alliances survive in sov space without at least a few blues. You need to be diplomatic, and you REALLY better have something to offer in return for standings. Its almost easier to join an established alliance than to be a start up. I won't sit here and say its impossible for new guys to break into the scene, but the new alliances that do make a stand successfully tend to be littered with veterans of previous sovreign alliances that know the game. Personally, I have loved being a part of 0.0 alliances, both small and struggling, and large and well established, more than I ever enjoyed empire. The experience is like nothing you will have in any other MMO out there. Once you learn to live without the safety net, understand that its your name on the screen in the sovreignty map, you understand why it is EVE players learn to look down on other MMOs. In the event of an emergency, my ego may be used as a floatation device.

Dantes Revenge Caldari	Posted - 2008.12.15 14:37:00 - [17] Been to 0.0 and hated the fact that there are times when you can't just do what you want because too many reds nearby. I get very little time to play don't always want PVP so I feel like mining for a change but 0.0 doesn't always let you do what you want when you want. I like highsec with occasionaly forays into lowsec for some pew pew. At least now when I log in, I can choose what I want to do instead of being dictated to by circumstance. -- There's a simple difference between kinky and perverted. Kinky is using a feather to get her in the mood. Perverted is using the whole chicken. All this has happened before and will happen again

Ticondrius Southern Cross Alliance	Posted - 2008.12.15 15:08:00 - [19] I love 0.0 life. Quit playing EVE at one point because I was living in Empire and got bored to death. Hostiles in the area? No problem! Get into Alliance channel and form up a fleet to hunt them down. Pewpew!! Ratting? Know the offtimes when your local hostiles are sleeping and have fun. Complexes? Take more friends than you need, and if you get jumped, pwn those flashy reds. Missions? Umm...in some regions. Expect to get your sec status and empire faction standings nuked though for shooting Concord missions rats. Mining..uh..lolwut? Unless you can't fly something powerful enough to rat in (HAC/BC/BS), you won't be mining unless it's a corp op. That said, I do go mine for very specific minerals and quantities when I need them for personal construction goals, but that's usually just zydrine or megacyte. And I can mine enough of that to make a tier 3 battleship in just a few minutes. Let's see, what else... POSes! More industrial minded people like to deploy and manage POSes with their reaction chains. Other industry activities is manufacturing for the local area and selling stuff at a premium, just remember, if you're only 5-8 jumps from empire space, you won't sell that fast. If you're really far from empire, you can sell things with a very good premium. Research. Some Outpost types have labs, and POSes can have mobile labs added to them. I research & copy my BPOs for almost nothing out here in 0.0. It's all about where you go and what powerbloc you join, and despite all the anti-BoB comments and BoB sploiter stuff, I like living out here, and the PvP campaigns we get into ensure I'm never bored. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- PROPOSAL: Chaos Incarnate's Face MMORPG: Many Men Online Role Playing Girls
Janu Hull Caldari Terra Incognita Ethereal Dawn	Posted - 2008.12.15 15:16:00 - [20] To be honest, most of the bigger alliances have core areas that are more secure than most high sec hubs. With POSes, you can set yourself up in more isolated areas that rarely get red visits. For the larger alliances, jump bridge and cyno generator networks make gate use pretty optional, unless you're actually going to pick a fight. Mining solo is certainly possible. Alts for tanking, or you can put some sickening fits on a Hulk and tank fairly easily. One member of my corp has a billion ISK Hulk that laughs at battleship rats. The ISK out here is ridiculous, if you're willing to do due dilligence and prepare yourself properly. In the event of an emergency, my ego may be used as a floatation device.

If you are a small Corp or Alliance even, you may find it hard to do some of the basic things without getting hassled: Mining is obvious, but also Complex running, hauling, buying things (as the market is more sparse) and generally getting around. There are gate camps, station camps, etc. but if you stay somewhere long enough you get to know it quite well and who comes and goes nearby. Then you can start to anticipate where people are traveling, who to watch otu for and who you can engage in a fight without a blob coming right behind them (Hi BoB). Still, i much prefer 0.0 to empire without things like mindless babble from idiots in local (for the most part, anyway) the ability to engage anyone at any time, better complexes, better minerals, moon mining, seeding the market, on and on. To each his own, but i for one will never fully go back to Empire.
Salliene Gallente Terracorp Technologies Dark Trinity Alliance	Posted - 2008.12.15 21:13:00 - [22] Life in 0.0 was fun, but not "all that". A lot of it depends on how well under control the alliance you are in has their section of 0.0. When I first ventured into 0.0, SMASH had a pretty good handle on Geminate, and I could get to and from the area with little trouble, could rat, mine, produce in peace and join roaming PVP ops at will. Toward the end however getting in and out of Geminate was a roll of the dice if you weren't in a blob, and no matter where you were there was always a good chance of a TRI Nano gang showing up. Things got tense and the drama became unbearable. Holding onto a large region of 0.0 space requires a lot of effort, and I couldn't commit to spending 3 or 4 nights a week in 5 or 6 hour ops that may or may not result in a fight. So yeah, if you are in a strong alliance with not many enemies, then life in 0.0 can be lucrative and fun, but if not then it is more trouble that it is worth for casual players. I think that if you are looking for a good balance of the risky life but still have a little bit of security, then you should just make low sec your home. Less political drama, fewer gate camps, more local color, and high sec is always only a jump or two away if things get too stressful. One Girls Journey through the EVE Universe
Batolemaeus Caldari Free-Space-Ranger Morsus Mihi	Posted - 2008.12.15 21:23:00 - [23] Edited by: Batolemaeus on 15/12/2008 21:26:36 Edited by: Batolemaeus on 15/12/2008 21:24:45 Living out of cans and a few pos in a remote constellation in some deep 0.0 space was the best experience i ever had. Just me, my few ships, and my corpmates. Sometimes a carrierjump to bring some supplies into the constellation.. But other than that, one entire constellation, shared with people i like a lot. Sometimes some pewpew against roaming targets, losing a ship here and there. But overall, a quiet place with enough action to keep me entertained. 0.0 is all i need, and all i ever want from eve. It's like a little village, you all know each other, greet the reds in local, or kick out anyone you don't like. I can't stand empire..way too crowded, way too many idiots. Do you know that feeling you get when you stand in a crowded mall and just want to do a roundhousekick and stab everyone because they're annoying the hell out of you? Way too many people around? 0.0 is a quiet park with a heavy metal concert now and then, and people sometimes running around in double arsemode. ---------------------------------------------- Originally by: CCP Prism X In New Eden, EVE wins you.
Trotula Caldari School of Applied Knowledge	Posted - 2008.12.15 23:01:00 - [24] Originally by: Aaron id like to find out what the average empire pilot thinks about 0.0. Seriously, more independents should come out here, dont believe the hype 0.0 isnt as bad as they say. My thoughts. The majority of Eve players are in Empire. The majority of Eve players are male. The major reason a male would be afraid of something is if it were to harm/damage his genitals. Thus, the reason the majority of Eve players don't go down to 0.0 is because living in 0.0 makes your genitals small. So the true question in regards to living in 0.0 is this: For those that enjoy living down in 0.0, did they already have small genitals to begin with or did they not care that their genitals shrank once they moved down to 0.0?
Constance Harme	Posted - 2008.12.15 23:22:00 - [25] I enjoyed living out in 0.0 but having to constantly gear up and move around for alliance stuff made the whole thing tedious, I never really had a chance to do anything I wanted (like mining/ratting) although if I could find somewhere nice enough I would probably go back.
Minmatar Citizen 290574	Posted - 2008.12.16 02:14:00 - [26] you havent truely played eve till u have lived in 0.o... all the factions of the game come together there
Vikarion Caldari White Rose Society	Posted - 2008.12.16 02:28:00 - [27] Well, I made the move out to 0.0 a while ago... ...and then I moved right back to Empire about 3 months later. Why? Here's why: Ratting? Sure, it's awesome. Except...looting is a pain if you aren't in a Domi or marauder. And very few areas have really good rats. Still, it'd be worth it, except that you get to usually share a system with two or three others, and spawns inevitably get wiped out. Oh, and don't forget the red roaming gangs who come through about once every 2 hours, and the solo-roamers. Hope you have a safespot and a cloak, and thirthy minutes of patience while your blues get together to chase them off. Complexes. Yippee. All I need to do is spend roughly 6 hours trying to find a complex someone else hasn't already found, and I might get a DED complex or faction spawn. But usually not. Trading. Also known as "how to get accused of market-**** by your blues". Hauling. Sure, just train carrier or jump freighter and you're golden. Oh, and a cyno alt, because blues think it's funny to warp you into reds who weren't there five minutes ago, or can't be bothered. PvP. Get gang. Undock. Find other gang. If them > us, run. Else fight. If no enemy gang, camp gate. And the players...well, it seems to me that there are two kinds of 0.0 players: really childish jerks, and really nice guys. And the jerks tend try to make everyone's lives miserable, whether or not it is necessary. Anyway, that was roughly my impressions. I can make much more ISK trading in Empire in complete safety, while using war-decs and low-sec piracy to fulfill my PvP needs.
