I want a source on this. I would like to see the memo from CCP that only you get. Why are you getting these emails from them when no one else is? You seem to have no trouble speaking for the wants and desires of CCP.
And that’s Eve online. Destruction is Eve Online. I’d rather have this than a bunch of complex rules and punishments and guidelines and required activities that mean absolutely nothing just to avoid penalties. All that crap is not Eve Online.
Sigh. OK…here’s today’s Maths 101 lesson just for you…
You commented “The numbers were growing.”. Well of course they were. Unless you’ve suddenly discovered negative people ( though a few on this forum would fit that category ), the numbers CAN only go up from zero.
That’ll be 10bn ISK Maths Consultation Fee.
While I find all this bickering back forth quite amusing, all things being equal, the simplest solution tends to be the correct one. Don’t anchor what you can’t defend. It’s that simple. Just like you shouldn’t undock in a 6 billion ISK Marauder or a 20 billion ISK cargo jump freighter unless you know what you are doing. EVE is about destruction. Period. Those who are unprepared or refuse to accept the consequences of their choices tend to find that out the hard way…
Which basically translates into: Don’t build anything in high-sec. Because there is always some null-sec alliance with larger pockets that a) doesn’t like anyone else having nice things or b) playing in “their” sandbox.
The irony being that they all depend on high-sec to some extent…
You can build whatever you want in high, just be prepared to defend it. Case in point, I had one of my Athanors nuked a couple of months ago. Why? Because I’m a genius and left it unattended and unfueled for a couple of months. That’s on me. Other than that, I’ve never had an issue. They didn’t wardec me just to be doing it, they did it to clear that moon for someone who wanted to place an active Athanor there, which is understandable. I was fine with it, didn’t cry about it, and placed another Athanor in the region of space I was currently operating in.
What is the purpose of wardecs? That is first thing to figure out before trying to fix them imo
That’s way too much common sense for one day. My brain now hurts and I’m going to have to go lie down.
Wardecs are there so only mega corps can own structures (in high sec)?
Basically, yes. At least large structures, POCOs and trading hubs. Pretty sure they’re all null-sec owned/controlled.
That is silly
Just depends on what region of space you’re operating in. If you are around the trade hubs, yeah you’re probably going to get looked at. If you are operating a mini trade hub or Athanor at the ass end of Khanid space, no one cares…
Small groups should be able to own structures in high sec
I suspect that’s true - especially when you look at the different regions of space, ie: Amarr, Caldari, Gallente, Minmatar…
They can. I have several. Just don’t leave them unattended, as I found out a couple months back…
What is the problem then? @QuakeGod
Imo if you dont hold sov you should not be able to be war decced. And you should not be able to war dec others either
In my opinion, there isn’t one. As I said before, don’t anchor what you can’t defend. The war dec mechanic is working as intended. Just be glad it was changed from it’s prior form. Before it was changed, you could war dec anyone, for any reason, whether they owned a structure or not…
Do you even know what you are saying?
Yes, I do. EVE is a game of competition and destruction. If you’ve set up an Athanor on a valuable moon, and another group comes along and they want that moon, you’d better be prepared to defend it.
I dont know who thought it would be a good idea to allow players to monopolise resources in high sec in the first place
The fix seems to be to allow more than one athanor per moon
