Stations vs Starbases ; Combine the two

@MinorFreak

problem is he isn’t really exposed to the type of warfare that existed before upwells were a thing

You did look at my account age. Right? I played in nullsec, I played in lowsec, I was in highsec wars. I’ve run Starbases, I’ve helped keep them alive while a PVP defense fleet kept the enemy at bay.

@MinorFreak

nowadays the new upwell system favors the defender because even if the attacker is competent they still have to form up at the time the defender chooses at each stage of the RF timer system (and you can’t ‘incapacitate’ any of the modules while they’re sleeping)

It favors a defender experienced in PVP. Also assumes that the defender is awake in time to choose the next time the vulnerability window happens. Also assumes the defender can get on every single day. Also assumes the defender isn’t a small 5 man corporation.

@MinorFreak

i can control ALL the modules on an upwell?

There’s hardly any modules anyway. For the Refinery, 1 missile launcher, 2 neuts, 3 ECMs at most. The biggest and baddest most expensive citadel, 4 launchers and a bunch of other module slots that I can’t remember or check cause server is down right now but that citadel is worth like 1 trillion I think and it could probably be taken down easily enough too.

@MinorFreak

you add that with a competent FC knowing there’s a convenient timer for him to ping on discord…well, you have a massive offensive problem on the timezone of the defender’s choice.

Again. You assume 100% only that we all use our stations with massive corporations. Do small corps deserve to have the ability to manufacture things? To mine moons that belong to them?

@MinorFreak

if you mine veldspar in a 1.0 security system, without bothering anyone, you’re still engaging in economic warfare

True, I believe that mining is a form of PVP. However I encourage people to be able to declare proper wars, which can’t be done because of how broken the war dec system is right now. See my topic linked below this paragraph. I also think that mining faster than the other guys is another form of battle. To drain the pocket/belt faster than them and claim the greater bulk means you have won the battle.

War Mechanics, Promote fair fight wars

So, I’ve thought some more on how to re-work highsec wars. I think this would provide the best balance for corporations both industrial and pvp. This idea came to me originally in a basic form while I was explaining an exploit in the game that corps use to stop wars. I know of a corp of 500+ that PVPs but can’t be war decced because the use an alt to own structures under a name people can’t really find and won’t know what structures they actually own. Exploiting EVE to be safe from war while o…

@MinorFreak

i like the new wardec + upwell system. it forces people to be smart, not moronic dipsydoodles with no business “owning” structures. upwells are now a single killmail - realllllly attractive to the wardec spammers.

So what I see is that, you don’t want anyone to own a structure unless they are a big corporation. You favor teaching people how much they suck at the game by blowing up their stuff and laughing at them for having something nice and wanting to work in a small team of friends only. This is the tone I see coming from you.

I don’t use alts, I have one, singular character. I will never have alts. I like to work with people, not work with myself. It seems the game is evolved to support multiboxers more than anything. Hell, why doesn’t CCP just make it official and let you control 10 ships on one character already, skip the multiple clients issue!

I always wanted the game to have fair mechanics to it, some way to enjoy the game without constant grief. It seems like thats impossible. I’ve taken multiple breaks from the game due to the drama and grief of the game. It seems like CCP have no intention of coming up with solutions to balance things and like the players themselves don’t want it either.

I’ve had multiple people say they like my ideas in chats in game, but no one comes to the forums to say so or support my ideas, because of he ridicule and grief they will get in return. Perhaps CCP should consider that fact, that people are afraid to speak out anymore.
