Exactly, and one of which features in the SOE starter epic arc (as well as being a (very diminished) trade hub). But hey, what does it matter if a lot of new players get screwed? 🙄

This is a major expansion, not a quick patch. You can plan these things.  
I don’t know about pirates/Trigs NPC stations in null sec/Pochven (my pirate alt isn’t ready to move there), if they also have Concord’s taxes, but I would say the same should apply. So in the end you wouldn’t do it specifically for the Fulcrum.

It’s angel cartel ships, they are all projectile based. If you want hybrids you have to wait for serpentis.

I have also seen vids of guys using Stormbringers in T5 and T6 and yes, thes do for a while. At the end, they all died at some point (I have witnessed some of these deaths live on stream…) and given how expensive these ships are, their return in total profit over a long time is bad.

You can check the AbyssTracker yourself, the Iki can run T5 Firestorms (I have done that in max-bling fits, it still had worse runtimes than a Sacrilege), but you often get 18 or 19minute runs. Which means even little mistakes or a single disconnect can kill you in there. With a Sacri I land below 15 minutes consistently, I cannot be despooled and losing a lot of damage from making a maneuver mistake and even on a disconnect I can simply relog and still finish the filament.

You won’t find (many) T6 Dark runs there (and Darks are the ones the SB v2 Fit was build around…). Because it is simply not used except for some testing purpses. Videos on YT about that are mostly clickbait.

However: you can summarize my opinion about it in a simple tldr; - HighTier Abyssals already pay too much for the risks involved (which are pretty low if using a proper fit). Buffing the Stormbringer so it can run T5/T6 will make that worse. And I don’t think thats good for the game.

There is still concord, but the rules got relaxed - only podding and assisting podders is a criminal activity (just like in low sec)

This sounds dirty. 3x my HS L4s income (~200M/h).

Go shoot lancers. Wait a bit. Get doomsdayed in the face. CONCORD is a puppet of drifters.

Indeed. Burners pay too much. Blitzing should be limited as well. I have no issue with missions like samsh the supplier - they pay boatloads in loot (tags), but you have to face actual consequence (standing loss with amarr)

Hek is not that diminished as a trade hub. It is only slightly smaller than Dodixie.

Everything is very very, very DIFFICULT!!!  
MAKE IT EASIER!  
IT’S IMPOSSIBLE TO PLAY ANYMORE!!!

Who are the Vortons?  
Who are the Farsakhs?  
Who are Deathless shipmasters?  
Who are Deathless?  
Who are Fulcrum?  
Why is that?  
Lowsec Only - Sentry Guns will now additionally ignore all criminal timers in their presence. Players can now use Interdiction Sphere Launcher, Warp Disruption Field Generators, Bomb Launchers and Defender Launchers.

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?

All your efforts are useless, because the players do not accept into their corporations those players who do not have the opportunity to talk on the microphone!

Which means gankers can attack whomsoever they like without consequence. Stop ducking the issue - that chokepoints on the main haulage routes could become unusable until they “eventually revert” - period unknown - which will screw the entire game’s economy.

No, they can’t pod. Podding still has consequences.

You see, you are saying there is no consequence. There is one - if they pod.

For pity’s sake, the issue is not podding. The issue is ganking haulers. They can attack whomsoever they like, just not progress to the **secondary** act of podding.

You are evading the question of impact on the economy if a key haulage route is rendered unusable for any significant period because the HS ganking dynamic has been upended.

I assume you do not have a clue about that.

Because all hauling is done with DSTs? I am not going to dignify that with an answer. And how long is “temporary”? No one knows. Anyone who autopilots near gankers at any time is an idiot.

It’s player-driven content. Since everyone knows that there is no profession in EVE that generates more money than trading, maybe use all that ISK to pay someone to ‘suppress’ these systems to make them even safer? All those ISK billionaires should be easily able to fund a huge campaign against piracy in highsec? Do it!

uhuh… poor bastards. Have only billions. How are they supposed to fight against pirates sponsored by trillionaires?

Why? Because it benefits our wallets. Plenty of ways to survive in lowsec.

I have more of a clue than you, Mr Clueless. Plenty of hauling can be done with a DST. Which are used in low sec as well as in null and jspace with quite the success. And so are in hisec. I know. Plenty of my isk ends up in the hands of couriers - through DST sized courier contracts.

Of course DSTs are used. My point is that they are not the only type. Try reading the posts to which I reply. You boast about being a Hek afficianado. Would be a dreadful shame if your favourite trading hub became corrupted given its low security status. But I am sure someone as brilliant and omniscient as you will welcome the challenge!

How much do you shift in pods? Do not answer, we all know the cargo capacity of a capsule. Which is why your attempted diversion about podding was clueless.

You still do not have a proper answer to the point I have raised, do you?

I just did. Use a DST with a cloak and carry on. Or, continue \*\*\*\*\*ing about a non issue you personally find inconvenient, while speaking with condescension.
