Local Comms Blackout - Discussion Thread

Playing during blackout is fine if I were a bloc krab under supercap umbrella.
Otherwise, no.

Nothing changed for nullsec, except one thing - it has been made 100% safe for ganktards, which is what I protest about - nullsec should not be safe for ganktards, like it was never for me.

If 0.0 ws so safe, why not everyonne live in ?
Beacause its not safe. People just make giant organisation to try to have defense fleet up H24. Guess what, no chat do’nt change it.
0.0 is more unsafe than WH with or without local. People who think it’s " false" come on take sov on you’re own, make defense fleet enought powerfull to save you’re member.
And after compare time effort for making a WH “safe” and you’re 0.0 empire to be safe.

And it was 100% available before this nonsense.
But now it’s not 99% but 100% safe to gank in null, and every risk-averse chicken who won’t engage with 99% safety is excited about 100% safety.

I’ve got mixed feelings for this change. I like both worlds - I like to build stuff and I like to blow up stuff, and I love the Submarinewarfare in Wormholes. So, let’s cmompare Nullsec with Wormholes:

Wormhole:

-“Delayed” Local
-only a fixed amount of Mass can fit through a Wormhole depending on the WH-Size
-No Stargates
-Wormhole Entries collpase after a specific amount of Mass or Time and spawn somewhere else
-High Risk, High Reward Ratting, especially Class 5 & 6 Wormholes (2b+ isk/h with a Dread fittet for 6b)
-Hard to Locate
-You can’t jump into a WH with a Jump Drive
-No Supercapitals
-Moongoo

Nullsec:

-Has Stargates
-Supercapitals
-Moderate to High Risk, Low Reward Ratting (Compared to J-Space Ratting) 200m isk/h with a 20b+ Ship
-Moongoo
-Easy to reach with Cynos
-Cloaky Camping
-Enemy can bring in infinite reinforcements

I can understand that people are angry, since pretty much every Nerf in the last few years affected only
Players living in Null. Supercapital Ratting is pretty much pointless compared to Dread-Ratting in J-Space. Risking 20 Billion ISK for 200 mio isk/h compared to 6 billion ISK for 2 BILLION+ ISK/h is just a joke, especially with the broken Drifters in Null at the Moment. Also, people who are living in J-Space don’t need to worry about getting hotdroped, and cloaky camping is already a pest in Nullsec without a real Countermechanic.

I’m an Industrialist, and I do 95% of my crabbing by daytripping to empty Wormholes, so this event won’t affect me, but I can understand the anger from the Miners/Ratters.

If this Event will be permanent I fear that this great game might loose 50% of the Playerbase and will die eventually. As an Event only however I think this will be great.

Sincerly,

Renegade Void

Cry more.

also this game is what i play to relax im not a PVPr by any means and yes im a carebear but i will fight. I think PVP is boring when you basically have to be part of a gang 1v1 is dead and has been dead for a long time. ESPECIALLY IN NULL. im gonna say it. PVP is boring and can be expensive.

In fact bot will survive. If human can fight the no local bot could to. THey will just be reprogram. So bot will be affect just time they’re dev adapt they.

So in reality it’s just make game less fun for every people who want make money in 0.0 and are not in big coalition.

20% available at best since both roaming fleets and locals just docked when a slightly bigger roaming fleet was nearby. If zkill was up you’d see at least 10 times the usual amount of pvp going on. Covert ops dying in droves.

  • cloaky camping has been removed, so you don’t have to worry about that anymore

Hidden camping changed to a hidden drop. Wonderful.

No one cares

The population of said holes is very low. At best a dozen people running said sites which then run out and they’ll have to wait for more. The sites just don’t pop up sometimes for the rest of the day and there can often be several hours between them showing up. Which is why…

… Is so much better. Unlimited sites with little downtime between them means that you can have 40 people in one system earning 200m at all times of day.

We get high sec level moongoo. Practically worthless. Also important to note no asset safety so getting camped out of your hole with no chance whatsoever to save your stuff.

1v1 isn’t dead just because you can’t be bothered to try it. Plenty of people out there to fight. You just have to learn to appreciate the hunt as much as the kill.

@Orca_Platypus

It feels fantastic when I use your own quotes against you and provide fairly solid arguments in reply to your non arguments then you simply pretend those comments never existed and hide for a little while. Heh hiding while using a forum alt. And somehow I’M the chicken who apparently lives in “super easy” chicken wormhole space. If you could live here more than a month without staying docked constantly and giving up on PvE til ya left i’d send ya 20 bil and apologise in a dedicated thread. But that’s cause I know you’d stay docked up and scream “Ganktard Ganktard” in wormhole local instead of dealing with hostiles.

Edit: I mean I’m fairly sure Orca is flagging nearly half my posts but multiple people on this one kinda surprised me. At least part of latter half is relevant as it’s about local. However specific to him. Flag it again if you really think it’s off topic but I say that calling him out cause he doesn’t know what he’s talking about and not contributing to the discussion with an overwhelming majority of his posts is important for this thread.
