Sorry about it, but yes. Null sec is PVP player controlled. Anything can be destroyed to the ground there. I dont understand what you not understand about it.
You comment is so wrong you must be trolling. Let me explain.
A game can be defined by itâs core function, the function that if not present, or were to be removed, would destroy the game. The core function of Eve is industry.
Eve is a space based industrial simulator. PvP, and all other activities in game, are a consequence of this core function. Without industry, there is no Eve.

I think you are wrong. Payments will be automatical every 3 hours but you can grab that money from the bank before 3 hour. As your bounty is stored in the ESS and anybody can steal from it without waiting 3 hours, you can grab it out also i guess.
No you cant. Imagine you have 1.5 hour to play cuz you have family. Trying to make some money and the next day you get the notice someone steal your bounty. So â â â â â â â fun mechanics.

- The Main Bank â This is where the majority of the money goes. It pays out automatically every 3 hours to contributors, but can be stolen from at any time by invaders.
- Payouts from the ESS happen automatically to contributing PvE bounty earners and no longer need to be retrieved in person.
Looks more like âisk are there to be stolen, if not stolen - they will be deliveredâ. Not a word about âESS can be looted by a defender beforehandâ.
They should remove the steal part of it. You can go there and destroy the main bank. That would be the true CCP way. Pvp to noone get anything.

Well thank you CCCP for last 8 years in game, sometimes it was fun, sometimes it was not. Right now this is a line crossed for me as a person who do mining and ratting in null and HATE PVP WITH MY ALL because there is no PVP (Player Vs Player) itâs only FvP (Fleet Vs Player). You killed mining in null, now you reduced bounties in system the more you ratt, and with that you made stupid ESS in PLAYER owned space that will hold the bounty that anyone can steal⊠AND FOR 3 F**KING HOURS, simply itâs not worth the time now. It takes forever to get some isk from mining if not using rorq (that got nerfed to hell while still expensive as hell), there is lot of time spend on ratting also, docking everytime a neut or enemy shows up, cleaning after yourself, salvage, loot⊠Looks like our CCCP minds got taken by trigs, boosting trig space to hell and nerfing everything else. Good luck you just lost 3 subscribers, and more will follow.
Fly safe guys o7.

We will see. I dont think the main bank can be insta-robbed. My guess is 5 mill/min that can be siphoned out. Also ratting systems usually not used to be empty so there usually would be someone to defend it in that 3 hour window. Also it can be adjusted. Lots of things are not clear at this point.
Concord put up the ESS, the people who are paying you the bounties
Care to elaborate? Or should I just assume that youâre a bot aspirant?
Rat in a solo system or with few people (DBS), but stay logged for at least three hours, or people might come and steal most of your stuff (ESS).
HmmmâŠ
Feedback for CCP:
- Would seem to be effective in undermining botters - but hurts other playstyles unnecessarily (non-bot)
- Thereâs already enough pvp available for null space this change isnât necessary if thatâs part of the objective (i.e. PAPI/Imperium war)
- Thereâs already a near global war in null so if the aim is to introduce resource scarcity the players are on the way to achieving that imo along with mining nerfs; anyways isnât selling plex for isk a main driver in inflation?
- Like others have said, would seem to hurt the casual player who rats briefly (~1 -2 hours) to fund pvp for âstrat opsâ etc - canât be around for both - ops and defending the bounties.
- Seems unnecessarily complex and artificial as a mechanic - others have said not everything need be a pvp-arena: agree. Keep it simple. Seems like unneeded tinkering.
- Like others, as a casual ratter who funds pvp losses/costs, Iâm not going to see funding PVP losses via this mechanic and having a supply of ratting ships to defend the bounties as cost effective/risk-manageable so will likely just not rat anymore.
- Youâre not going to compete as a few local ratters against high-tier PVP players, period, even with the 75k restrictions - others have pointed out the ships/tactics likely to be used.

Not to mention differences in geography: regions with npc space/close to one will be raided 25/7 while remote ragions will krab themselves into oblivion.
I have Triglavian dĂ©jĂ vu. Itâs CCPâs game. The universe belongs to them. We are just guest here. They will change the game/rules constantly to keep EVE âaliveâ. But to what point?
I wonder what happened in between 2013-2015 with all that accounts. Were they bots or legitimate players?
a big unanswered question is WHO can steal? is this going to become another round of ACL nonsense? or can anyone grab the isk , blue, light blue etc. if an ESS is in sov space, is a renter considered an enemy for the sake of the mechanic? so many questions, so little info

the obvious answer is âanyone who accesses itâ
Lol imagine if CCP then says, (Accessible by rats), yep, I do expect it from dumb heads like this
Lol, looks like they saw that HS was already like abandoned, so u think this way ull make HS useful more? dumbheads, People now will switch to incursion groups and wh ratting, killing the ratting ships will now be harder, which will suck up pvp, which will suck up your fuckin game, ull never make HS useful, just like u CCP, u r useless, like your support ticket response time xD
Why was that removed? Were they so high? AFAIK COSMOS missions can be done only once.
bots were sitting at mission beacons and farm cosmos npc from downtime to downtime because it was constantly respawning.
