If this is the case high sec does not need to be safer.<br /><br />It needs a Constituition and a Bill of Rights to specify the rights and obligations of all who decide to live in highsec.. ganker and carebear alike.<br /><br />What highsec needs is better education of players that it is a choice to live in high and to be subjected to its laws and benefit from its freedoms.<br /><br />High is not a path to progress to Low or Null.

That's basically your message; and not coincidentally, the gankers say the exact same thing about you, as magically their view of what is easy and hard is 100% reversed. Everyone is going uphill both ways in the snow, and everyone else is going downhill both ways, in a luxury spaceliner. yada yada yadaTregonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9101917425752696234.post-30581169443574604742014-09-18T11:40:02.625-07:002014-09-18T11:40:02.625-07:00Besides being too easy, gate camping / station cam...Besides being too easy, gate camping / station camping is about as lame as it gets. Conflict should be moved away from the gates and stations, out to the belts, moons and anomalies while travel between gates and stations should be relatively safe.<br /><br />There should be more meaningful consequences for ganking in hi sec. Like for starters losing docking privileges or having assets confiscated on a system by system and faction by faction basis.<br /><br />It shouldn't be at all easy for gankers to repair faction standings either, especially not as more crimes have been committed and standing gets even lower. Once faction standing is low enough, they should be a free target that increases their killers standing. Criminals should be kill on sight for faction police / concord who will see them (even when cloaked) if they go anywhere near a hi sec gate or station. Escaping police should be allowed but if they fire back on the police then concord comes.<br /><br />The hard lines between hi, low and null should be blurred too. As system security status gets lower the police / concord presence should drop too. For example as system security status gets lower they'd still protect the gates and stations but be less likely to respond to trouble out in the belts. Say 100% in 1.0, 80% in 0.7-0.9, 50% in 0.5 and 40% in 0.5.<br /><br />It'd be really nice if there was a chance (even a small one) of concord responding to trouble on the other side of a hi to low/null gate too. Setting up a camp at chokepoints like EC-P8R, Auenenen or Gondista would suddenly be just a little bit riskier.MoxNixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12407914481361718041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9101917425752696234.post-66315321335832199172014-09-18T01:12:51.469-07:002014-09-18T01:12:51.469-07:00Should hisec be safer? Should Nulsec and lowsec be...Should hisec be safer? Should Nulsec and lowsec be more populated?<br />Wrong questions.<br />And you make a lot of presumtions without evidence. There is a lot of piracy going on in Nul. Ask any ratter who got ganked.<br />Why is there not more piracy going on? GAME MECHANICS. one does not simply walk into DEKLEIN... ^^<br />Is Hisec not safe? It is totally safe if some basic rules are respected.<br />On the other hand, gankig is still way too easy and cheap because the game mechanics are unbalanced.<br />A Freighter is a capital ship, but often it is brought down by destroyers who carry the smallest guns. Seriously? when on the other hand a BS cannot kill a destroyer because range and tracking prevent the large weapons from hitting such small tragets... The cost of ganking is too low, If gankers and eewil iwates whine, then it is because they are morons and slackers. Same goes for "carebears" who complain about not being able to safely missionrun in purple faction BSs.<br />Why isn't there more activity in low? Because of profitability. Too much blobs and tech3 gangs. It is ridiculous to see that even shitty tech1 frigs or cruisers get hotdropped by large low/nul alliances...<br />So, how on earth do you plan to prevent hotdropping in low?<br />Bigger wars in highsec? There are already huge wars going on!

That...Another well considered post on your part. That's why I follow you.<br /><br />I interpret your post as asking why Eve isn't a logical, progressive Universe. You state it's a mishmash of hard-coded segments coarsely banded together.<br /><br />I'd like to see a cohesive Universe where, for example, a bandit is logically defined and has a place within Eve. So too a bounty hunter. So too a Gallente or a Mordu navy captain. All these things have logically definable circumstances with an inherent "50 shades of every color." But not in the current Eve.<br /><br />The current Eve is spaceship spheres shooting each other; or not.<br /><br />So "bigger wars" ... well, maybe not in NPC faction controlled areas (aka high sec) because this defines the start of the game for new players. But certainly as faction influence diminishes more shades of every color should be introduced until it is counteracted by PC entities exerting their own influences.<br /><br />You are right. There should be no high, low or null. Just cluster entities, both NPC and PC, exerting their influences to varying degrees. Now the Universe is logical and ordered, and multi-colored.<br /><br />Art Hornbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18103351963477702828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9101917425752696234.post-27459514350472190302014-09-17T20:23:37.355-07:002014-09-17T20:23:37.355-07:00Thinking outside the box is good part of the time....Thinking outside the box is good part of the time...but it's a two edged sword. If you never try anything new, you get trapped in a rut. If you're always trying new things, you never perfect anything. EVE is already an extremely complex world, adding as many new things as you're asking for would be a disaster, I'm sorry to say. The more new things one adds at once, the harder it is to maintain any sort of balance.<br /><br />" I'd like to see some kind of piracy abound in null-sec"<br /><br />It does, for some sensible definitions of "abound". For other reasonable definitions, it doesn't.<br /><br />"bigger wars happening in high sec"<br /><br />Bigger than what? How big do you want?<br /><br />" Jita-like systems in null-sec with player-run security and commerce. "<br /><br />those already exist.<br /><br />"Imagine if every major high-sec trade hub didn't necessarily have a high-sec route between them?"<br /><br />Those high sec trade hubs which were isolated from the rest would die off. trade hubs are located where they are for a reason, it's not random.<br /><br />"Instead of black and white and red, I want fifty shades of every color."<br /><br />Bittervet stage 8 reached. 'I want the learning cliff to be fifty times taller, and covered with slippery burning oil!' Don't get me wrong, I sympathize with your perceptions; when a game is begun to be mastered these are natural thoughts to have. I think perhaps you are being a bit extreme with it, though. Just remember, every single thing you are decrying as "too simple" is an example of a broad category that is the only thing new players really understand.<br /><br /><br /><br />Rammsteinnoreply@blogger.com
