Essentially we were going to make people pay rent to keep towers in low sec near our space. People didn't want to pay rent so we burned all of it to the ground and then offered other people to rent the same space. This caused low sec to unite against us. Good fights were had but then the rest of Eve joined them too and our space empire was toppled and now we live in low sec.

Yes and who is going to want to try and live in space that Goons ejected for example snuffbox from in order make space for these renters.


The moment we would have left the renters would have been obliterated, chased into high sec and labeled "goon co-conspirators" for the rest of their existence.

I did enjoy the burning though.

EVE NT Collides has it's first championship weekend this weekend with the 3rd place match between Hard Knocks & Warlords of the Deep taking place today in a Best of 5. Tomorrow is the main championship between Tuskers & We Form Volta.

Stream - http://www.twitch.tv/EVE_NT_TV/

For those curious, it uses the "Collides" system which is as follows

http://www.eve-nt.uk/rules/

quote:

Each team must submit seven complete team setups to Nashh Kadavr no later than one week before the start of their match. Setups must be submitted before 23:59 on the Sunday before your match-up. These team setups must consist of the following:

Five legal ships which will be flown by the team members during a match.
Each of the seven team setups must be legal according to the rest of these tournament rules including but not limited to keeping each setup’s combined point values to 45 points or below.
No individual ship type may be used in more than one team setup submitted by a team. Each of the seven setups must use a completely different set of ship types as the other team setups.

Once a team has won a match with a particular team setup; that setup will no longer be eligible for use later in that series.

After the EVE_NT referee has obtained the setups from both teams for the current series and has ensured that they are compliant with the setup construction rules, then they will be posted on the Collides website at http://www.eve-nt-collides.uk/team-profiles/

Teams will then be given until the end of the Friday to chose two setups from the opposing side to be banned from that series. These will then be posted publicly on the #EVE_NT Collides website as soon as possible. Bans need to be sent to Nashh Kadavr, by EVE- Mail, on the Friday before the fight by 23:59pm EVE-time.

Team setup pools are not fixed for the whole season. Teams can choose to bring the same seven setups to each series if they wish or are free to switch up setups for each individual series.

Aegis Sov mechanics made renter alliances not necessary for the most part, so most of those corporations got absorbed into GoonSwarm Fed as a [Section 8] Corp. They were renters who paid for ratting, but were part of the main alliance to help GSF keep its ADMs up which ties into the sov system.

It's several regions densely packed with systems, meaning even under Aegis sov systems it'll take a while to chew through. Add in the fact that it's fairly far from Empire space, even in the middle of Drone regions, it makes logistics a pain.

You can also throw in Russians and that the regions aren't really great for income either and most people just said gently caress it to that region.

It's because Goons are huge babbis who can't handle the prospect of not sourcing every tidbit from Jita directly. If CCP nutted up and fixed Jump Freighters so they couldn't jump out of highsec the game would be infinitely better for it. If JF had to slowboat to a lowsec system before they could jump the game would infinitely better for it. Living deeper in nullsec and local industry will always be a moronic idea until then. No ship distorts the state of the game more than Jump Freighters. In 2007 you could outright kill Alliance war efforts by literally killing all the ships they had on hand. They just couldn't produce enough locally to form fleets after enough beat downs. Coordinated disruption of PvE (What Blackops was formed originally to do) and Strategic Ops would whittle groups down to the nub. RISE was a classic example of this, we killed them so much that they just didn't have ships to use. They would just sit in station listening to RoyofCA's speeches in local. If the same tactic was run against RISE today they'd have an infinite supply of ships since a JF would cyno in directly to the station.

Except JFs were added to the game right when carriers packed with ITTY 5s packed with GSCs (which had a similiar cargo capacity) got nerfed, so there really wasn't any point where you couldn't supply from empire? Other than I guess having to run a freighter through mateber.

he's specifically talking about rise, who lived in 4 systems waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy out in the boonies so even the best logistics was a pain in the dick for them


also lol at not remembering carriers full of destroyers with capital guns, get your local production on like crazy


what that does bring back around though is that highsec had, until recently, infinite production capacity compared to 0.0 so unless you had original NPC made outposts you kind of had to import poo poo just due to production lines
