local free, high reward pve already exists in both wormholes and pochven, so doesn't need to exist in null

disagree, it's not about the playstyle existing, it's about local making the risk/reward of eve skewing nullsec to be, on par, as safe as highsec.

as long as local exists, the risk/reward in eve will be forever broken, and nullsec will be just barely more dangerous than highsec to pve in

which is a problem, considering the tendency for empires to become very few and very massive, which can be dealt with if small groups can constantly attack large groups for epic wins, and to compensate make the rewards higher cause u can afford to because the risk is higher

game fixed

I quite literally answered your question:

I stated that a) a problem exists with local existing in it's current state (note, this doesn't mean local needs to be fully removed in order for local to be balanced)
b) how my suggested change would fix my problem and
c) why you too, should think that the problem I see is something you should care about.

you understand why these are two completely different questions, right?

whether or not CCP should do something, versus why don't i go into pochven?

I told you EXACTLY why CCP should do something. I told you, exactly why. For the third time, my statement states exactly why CCP should nerf local in nullsec. (ie the playstyle existing has no bearing on whether or not other play styles should be changed to be similar to it especially when they solve the problems)

as for the second question, I have played extensively in wormholes, so I have gone there.

I don't know what you're looking for, you asked me why CCP should do thing, and I told you the problems with the current system, and how that current system can be changed.

I told you my reasons for it, you pretended for the longest time that I didn't, despite me stating I did at least three times.

Now you are complaining that there can't be an equilibrium, ignoring the fact that you don't have to REMOVE LOCAL, simply nerf it to balance it out, and keep exclaiming you're done but coming back over and over. You don't have to remove local to remove it. It doesn't have to be identical to wormholes. There are many ways, as have been described ITT, to nerf local and buffing rewards to make it still worth doing by and large. Control yourself and actually think before replying, you have all the time in the world and this is an internet discussion, you shouldn't be sweating over attempting to respond and posting your actual anger onto your words.

Could there be implementation of some sorta PvP immunity?

I really think EVE's a pretty neat game, but I just hate the PvP so much. I just wanna do my industry thing and haul my relatively expensive stuff around without fearing being blown up in my slow af + defenseless af hauling ships.

These people don't even attempt to 'negotiate' with you - perhaps demand that you drop all your cargo and they pick whatsoever they want. They just blow you up🤦‍♂️. That would ensure more booty for them, right?🤷‍♂️ I think I'd be able to tolerate that, especially if they catch me in low sec.

I'm no hot shot player, but I recently stopped playing EVE because of losing my ship due to players blowing me up at a gate camp. That's another thing, how are gate camps even a thing - shouldn't freaking CONCORD or Edencom be not having that? 🤦‍♂️ That's a whole other matter though.

Anyway, why not have some sorta module/implant (a permanent one too just to up the stakes) that makes your ship impossible to lock onto. That only works if you haven't partaken in PvP in a certain amount of time and has a long a*s cooldown period or something if you do partake.

It's silly, but dang, brah, I've gotten tired of losing my stuff to other players while trying to mind my own business.

I was thinking that the gate guns are ineffectual at distinguishing lowsec from nullsec. They should lock on an aggressor (at a time inversely proportionate to the security level), and once they get a lock on you they Concord you. Because as it stands, anything but a frigate can just tank them.

Why does it seem to me that every time I use a null-sec filament, a bunch of people immediately appear in local and throughout the constellation who always just must have to kill me? Especially in the regions claimes by the initiative. Can experienced explorers advise what to do with them - they may not kill me, but at this rate it takes a very long time to look for calm systems.

That's complete bullshit. Nullsec is not risk free. What you do not understand, is that people have learned to mitigate those risk. People are aware. And those that are not, are the ones you catch. And unlike Highsec, there's no magical force that will at least garantee you revenge.
Local IS the tool that people have to not die. The only thing saving them for an assured death, is awareness and you want to take that away from them and that's why we're all calling your bullshit out.

Unless CCP makes it viable to rat in pvp fit, you can gently caress off with any idea of getting rid of local. And even then, people are still going to be risk averse because even with a pvp fit, they can get hosed by numbers. And nobody, absolutely nobody does the poo poo pve content this game has to offer, to afford more pve ships.
I don't play anymore, but you'd have to make it really worth my while to get me in space, without local, in a myrmydon that takes 2/3 ticks to repay itself and much less a better blinged out ship that can take hours to repay itself.

It just isn't gonna happen. Your idea of "Nullsec is broken" is "There isn't enough defenseless targets for me to shoot". It's loving ironic considering your play style is the most risk free of all.

i don't think you know who i am or what i do, it seems you've drank the pubbie propaganda of what i am

i've pretty much played every pvp playstyle in eve to it's nth degree and have found these blaring issues- this isn't to say i actually want more people to die, it's to say i want more people to WANT TO put themselves in positions where they can die. eve should reward those who do risky things, not reward those who stay in safe spaces and farm 24.7

the fundamental problem is the highest tier of competitive gameplay has some of the most risk free pve activities associated with it. this is a problem
