Were those ever really even a thing? I remember hearing that back in the day nullsec logistics was literally jamming a carrier full of iterons and the like and that SC's were more useful for logistics than conflict.

Freighter convoys were a thing before carriers/dreads were introduced and for a while after because carrier pilots were rare, carrier pilots who wanted to do logistics were rarer still. I remember having to escort like 20 odd obelisks from lowsec to pureblind? or maybe deklein way back in the day (like before goons in syndicate). The details have faded but the sense of boredom/frustration from the moves sure hasn't.

freighter escorts were a thing for a while when certain ihub upgrades couldn't be manufactured and had to be trucked in from highsec

there are some that are freighter sized, and only seeded in empire

nowadays there's blueprints for all of them so there's basically no need to escort a freighter ever

I used to ninja freighters in thru wormholes with Sov upgrades.

Longest trip was a few jumps into venal going to k5f. But with a couple of alts scouting it was okay.

Dropping sov in random places just because a wormhole connection was up was a fine tradition.

I'm just wondering what the invasion wars of the future will look like when each system has 50-200 astrahauses and 5 fortizars.

People will start grinding through a few system, say gently caress it and offer to buy the citadels on the cheap.

As far as I can figure out, Albion was supposed to have a safe->dangerous zone progression kinda like eve. But all the action ended up in the areas that were supposed to be less dangerous, so the pve-only carebears complained.

Greyscale made a system where if you pvp you get shoved out to the most dangerous zones, which are almost completely empty, and have a timer before you can come back. Because he's a hack who only got a start in "game design" through CCP's idiotic hiring practices.

But wot about muh rights to not engage in non consensual pvp? -Carebears everywhere.

I think by transitive property we should be running some sort of quasi-legal out-of-game service, which also provides cover for large scale RMT. But if gambling is out, and you can't deliver booze in a video game...

I was excited about Albion until some fuckstick ruined the PVP aspect of the game. Then I read here that he used to be an EVE dude and he's reviled for being a moron here too. Excellent :dance:

i would posit that the blame for albion being poo poo isnt entirely on greyscale. they invented all the bad, funless 'black zones' a year and some change before he signed up. the ceo of si also waxes on and on about how eve inspired his design for albion ever since the start

what im saying is albion was always poo poo
