It’s time to log back in to eve and resume our fight to save our empires .
Just been watching fanfest and to the announcement of alliance skins and insignia and even statues on keep stars.
For the love of God we don’t want an Aiko statue any where in empire space , if that drives you to take up arms and be ready for the fight , so be it .
Join the fight and send the Pirate Queen and her men back to low sec or even better null from whence they came.
(Ps the idea of insignia and heraldry is a wonderful idea. )
I think there’s a difference between honour and recognition. I think honour ( something like a statue ) would not be appropriate…least of all at Jita. But I do think there should be recognition…which could come in many forms.
The ‘power’ of gank groups is highly subjective. It depends entirely on what ship you are flying and whether it is worth attacking. I guess they have power relative to the high risk ships, but for everyone else its more a case of ’ hi…gankers’ as I zoom past. It’s not really ‘worth’ them attacking a high EHP Gnosis carrying 20m ISK worth of missiles back from Jita, for example. In fact I regularly fly right past them on such trips. So its not really the same sort of power as ‘owning’ an area. True power extends even over the small fry.
Yeah, I’m kind of skeptical that player made statues will make it into the game. However, if they do, they should definitely be capturable and/or destructible. Let us destroy other players propaganda structures and/or collect them as trophies. As far as I’m concerned, that is what would make them truly interesting.
It is frustrating, as talk of ‘defending corp HQ’ sort of relies on people actually attacking. Otherwise, any group can just wander through…as Safety and others often do…and I don’t think ‘just ignore them’ constitutes actually ‘owning’ a region of space !
Also, given that Safety do actually have at least one structure in place…I’m not clear on why AO can’t or wont just declare war on them.
I have completed the design concept for an AIKO STATUE, which includes a smaller orbiting ornament, known as the ‘adoring antiganker’. One of these is to be placed next to each station, planet, asteroid belt, moon, and stargate.
