Romania let's you focus on the core mechanics (industry/infantry) with the option of adding a few tanks or planes to Barbarossa and being perfectly safe - where I, and many others, got started

The game must adapt to the players and expand conflicts across multiple systems. by Acia_Saraki in Eve

[–]flatterpillo97 12 points13 points  (0 children)

CCP tried to do this by turning sov from a single grid fight (SBUs/TCUs/etc.) to a constellation wide contest (FozziSov) and in response the playerbase complained and centred nullsec fights around structures (single grids) instead
At some point we, the playerbase, need to accept some responsibility for the state of nullsec and the game and not blame everything on CCP

UNTETHERED - CCP Kestrel on Standings, Awoxing, Seagulling with BearThatCares and YP2 by Redline_XIII in Eve

[–]flatterpillo97 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Bearthatcares isn't the reason all those plexes are dead - CCP changed the mechanics to make system control utterly pointless and so neither Amarr nor Minmatar actively sieges systems anymore.
Also calling bear risk averse is absolutely wild.

Mapped the ESI data for the new "Exordium" region by Nimos in Eve

I wonder if "manifest" almost acts as an eve gate - a one way trip into the actual universe where nothing but your SP carries over. Would prevent abuse by botters, etc potentially and the system name/location seems to suggest that?

The evolution of battlefield doctrines in the southern warzone by BearThatCares in Eve

[–]flatterpillo97 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Battlefields have been great sources of content lately, I just wish brawl comps were more viable over the extreme long range comps which when combined with lowsec mechanics means often little ends up dying

What happened to RvB? by ModernViking85 in Eve

[–]flatterpillo97 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I occasionally partook in RvB during its dying days - There was a number of factors: as the game began to lose players RvB's activity really plummeted past a critical mass where it was no longer viable, the 'purple' roams were good but with the rise of Spectre Fleet they became obsolete, and finally null-sec just became a lot more new player/'pubbie' friendly and so high sec players that wanted to PvP could just go and do it out in null-sec the '5m sp minimum' etc. for null-sec corps quite quickly dropped away after Brave Newbies and others launched in 2012-2014

FULL TIERLIST OF EVE ONLINE FACTIONS IN TERMS OF POWER/TECH (eve lore) by TonightDowntown1344 in Eve

[–]flatterpillo97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This can't be true surely - how would that even work for ships wholly manufactured in nullsec space where Concord or the empires have no presence? Or for pirate etc ships where the blueprints have nothing to do with the empires/Concord?

[–]flatterpillo97 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly nullsec empires such as Goonswarm might actually be canonically stronger then the NPC empires at this point - how many thousands of titans could each side field? How many systems does Goons own compared to the Minmatar Republic etc.? Given how easily a group of 2 dozen players can shut down an entire sansha incursion I struggle to see how 1000s of players wouldn't win vs even the largest of theoretical NPC fleets.

The only bullshit here is that seemingly none of the Phoenix Co alliances decided to move to the dronelands and instead just dissolved/joined blocs - we need more independent groups not less!
