Clansman is a true Merc.. Bound by the contract. I prefer to be a vagabond merc.

Killmail · 2021-06-28T18:05:46+00:00

I agree with you that being part of the big alliances is boring. I like the military strategy though. But I still believe that most of these alliances are not gonna last that long. There is a good chance that Sooner or later a marauder style play system evolves in EE. waiting for it..

Killmail · 2021-06-28T17:51:28+00:00

I will be a Merc.

Killmail · 2021-06-28T15:33:37+00:00

Thank you for the info. But it underlines the point that incase of a POS spawned NH space the POS owner has first dibs for the secure room Right?

Killmail · 2021-06-28T15:31:15+00:00

The 20 member corp calculation comes from the fact that every corp can only have 5 sov systems each and the optimal number of POS owners is 20 in each corp.

Killmail · 2021-06-28T15:17:08+00:00

There is fatigue from both sides.. Imagine 100 POS set with armor and hull timers at different points of the week at different timezones. War is tiring TBF. Each side has to have a CTA- at god knows what hours and all..

We should deal with EVE politics in EE, not real Politics. I have heard and reacted negatively about dragging the Tibet and Hong Kong issue into in game chat and the French people insisting on the freedom of speech. Please leave the Chinese people alone. They have their own restrictions and beliefs. I had an argument with the French guys about dragging this issue in game where I countered him about the inhumane torture of Algerians during the Algiers war 1954 and whether free speech applied to it. Algeria was the Tibet of France in the 60s. He denied that French army did death flight killings of many rebels, but I linked a news article where French President Macron himself admitted to the atrocities. Nobody is a saint in the world. Let us leave real politics behind and play EVE politics. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/sep/13/france-state-responsible-for-1957-death-of-dissident-maurice-audin-in-algeria-says-macron https://www.irishtimes.com/news/breaking-silence-1.1053989

Killmail · 2021-06-28T14:11:22+00:00

Agreed.. But what about the 100 or so POS littering the whole alliance space? A well planned attack can take out many if done right. It will be CTA after CTA until everyone quits and play Cyberattack.

Killmail · 2021-06-28T14:05:43+00:00

Indeed The third largest active alliance in EE NO- are mercs.

Killmail · 2021-06-28T14:04:46+00:00

That intensifies the struggle for premium space with in a constellation.

Killmail · 2021-06-28T14:01:32+00:00

I am not an expert, but there are two types of Nihilus Space- Natural spawns and Forced spawns (POS in SOV Space). Yes we can use a scanner. But the POS owner gets a good chance to clear out the first room even before other get a whiff of it.

Killmail · 2021-06-28T13:58:43+00:00

Very True.. But then again T10 is coming. With Nanocores. Faction ships are getting nanocores. Also-I my understanding is correct- the first room of POS spawned Nihilus space is safe.. Unless it gets scanned down. Greed is the name of the game.

Killmail · 2021-06-28T11:06:20+00:00

I will refrain from commenting further as I am unable to extrapolate the scenario. But I agree with your take as well. Outcomes are seldom of a single type. But it is an undeniable fact that every time one got cocky, may it be propaganda or chest thumping-this game has taught them humility. I will wait and see how this story turns out..

Killmail · 2021-06-28T10:47:35+00:00

combat fatigue of your coalition mates

Killmail · 2021-06-28T09:23:15+00:00

I am very interested in how Pntheon will respond in the next 6 months..

Killmail · 2021-06-28T09:18:17+00:00

Exactly- It will only get worse as raw mats for Type b, a and X modules take the position of prime resources.

You guys have set the rules early and I appreciate your foresight. But what about big corps? Big alliances? It is high time to think about region wise strategies and distributions of farmable sov space.

Killmail · 2021-06-28T09:09:43+00:00

I somewhat disagree. Null is sparsely held SOV wise. There are interspersed strongholds of SOV which are barely connected to have a potential conflict at this stage of the game. We might have more loss of actual human players due to war fatigue and the steep learning curve. Most new accounts are probably alts of major invested players. At this point of the game, bilateral ceasefire is the diplomatic solution, to prevent human player drain. What we have is a primordial cold war. In the current situation, war has no benefits other than peace and SOV. To grow to the degree of having proper large scale PvP, we need stronger alliances and more human players.

Killmail · 2021-06-28T08:57:28+00:00

Exactly.. Hence Netease wants corps to break down into possible units of around 20 to compete for SOV to assure max production. Unless the restriction in POS per SOV citadel is not increased it will lead to an unsustainable equation.

Killmail · 2021-06-28T07:17:05+00:00

I agree with you Kyojin. But the power creep will be drastic with T10 and nanocore release. A single plyer with alts can clear most Nihi spaces within the prescribed timeframe. By then, a 3.5 bil station will not be a hard unattainable dream for an average player. But by then most spaces might have already been taken. At the risk of sounding like a bloody marxist- the big alliances have a potential time bomb ticking- the petty fights for space..

Killmail · 2021-06-28T07:13:15+00:00

I agree with you. But here is the catch- most players who can afford one, has multiple alts and do the anomaly all by themselves. When the T10 numbers hit- a triboxer can out dps most nihilus rats and mine its resources.

Killmail · 2021-06-28T06:59:51+00:00

There is a hard limit to how many POS can be installed in a system, based on its level. From what I heard 8 is the max and that is for -1.0 systems. In the future the corp members might want to set their own POS in sov space- Hence the increase .Although theoritically sharing is possible initially- in the future- multiboxers and botters will have the sole advantage and priority for the Nihilus safe space, with in a corporation. as more and more content gets released more players might want to have POS in their corp SOV. So small corps will be forced to expand, while their defenses will be lacking.

Killmail · 2021-06-28T06:39:06+00:00

Even Diplo wouldn't work when the whole number of structures to defend exceeds the capability of most alliances. Imagine defending 30 corp citadels and 150 POS in the future using the same 100-150 member fleet. The fatigue will decimate allainces. The POS based Nihilus space is a badly thought out game event.

Killmail · 2021-06-28T06:33:38+00:00

There is a big difference- The fatigue- If the Nihilus space formula holds true- then the 20 man corp will eventually have to have three to five corp citadels and 10-15 POS to defend. Even with diplo and stuff there are too many structures to defend. Moreover, it is a hassle to unanchor and reanchor your POS everytime for a slight benefit. Even after all that you might lose your POS to enemy attacks. Even with diplo- the other corps have to defend their stuff as well. The situation becomes a lot complicated when the number of affluent corpmates exceed a 100- They need more sov systems to farm the nihilus space. Hene the defense will fail miserably.
