So yes, you may know me, I'm a terrible pirate.
But last night, I had a wonderful EVE dream, and I brought it up in the hellcats channel, where it was suggested that I post it here.
In my dream the faction warfare had sucked the empires' resources, all the furthest systems had fallen to lowsec status, making it very hard to find a high-sec route into another empire's space. Most routes required at least 1 system of lowsec to be traversed.
Former low-sec was now called "fallen empire" and was unconquerable 0.0 space, given over to pirates and other lowlifes.
There were missions there too, some of them for pirate factions, or local warlords, some of them for the navy of the empire that used to own the system.
Most stations were in the hands of local power-mongers with little care for any empire, you could pay money and modules and minerals to the station owners to get access to the services of their station.
If you paid them enough cash, or otherwise gained their favor (by for example, accepting a bounty-hunt mission from them) The station's guns would no longer fire on you, as they were your buddies.
There were also random navy npc spawns, little fleets with interceptors, covert ops and battleships, representing the empires' attempts to get their space back in check. They would hunt pirate players, sometimes chasing them through several systems until the pirate managed to lose them.
Should you marshal a pirate fleet and kill them, they sometimes would drop navy faction modules (which makes sense, doesn't it?)
So there you go, that was my wonderful dream last night.
Then I woke up, logged in, and was promptly shot at by gateguns >_<

Are there ponies in these places? I refuse to enter systems that don't have ponies. |

This has been proposed before... and like before... it will be shot down and ignored.

Correction: Chribba gets all the Veld. We get, at most, the scraps from his Veldspar coated table, for which we must beg, borrow, plead, and occasionally resort to scandalous tactics to snap them up before our competitors do. While I would love to sup directly from the glorious well of Veldspar like the prophet Chribba, alas, this is not to be. For his is the Titan, and the glory, forever. Amen. Also, all your idea would do is bring trade between the empires to a screeching halt. RP wise, the Empires would never let this happen since they tend to depend on trade among themselves at least to some extent. Also, let me rephrase. Trade wouldn't come to halt, but moving products between the empires would become inordinantly time consuming and expensive, which, combined with the increased risk, would substantially reduce the traffic between Empires. I'm not against the idea of giving people reasons to want to go to lowsec. I think it's something that's long overdue. But the idea that if the people will not come to lowsec, we should take lowsec to the people isn't going to help that much. |

"CCP doesn't love us! Ruin everyone else's gameplay to boost mine!" I expect that crap from idiot carebears, but pirates are supposed to be a bit tougher than that. The tastiest tears are pirate tears.
Seriously, while I'd love to see more people in lowsec(I ran two CSM campaigns on that idea), breaking empire into four pieces is not the way to do it. You can't just say "Hey, throw lowsec into the middle of things to make people go into lowsec" - it might give you more fat, stupid targets, though in practice it probably wouldn't, but it'd bugger up gameplay for 75% of players to make 5% feel good. There is no way I can support this proposal. |

The idea is there will still be "bridges" of high sec between the empires, but the shortest routes would incur risk. Meaning you CAN be 100% safe, but that comes at the cost of travel time. |

You obviously aren't reading the posts... I suggest you think before you respond in the near future. the point is not about routes... its disruption of trade. Who the hell do you think builds your shiny ships and toys? Like it or not... this is not Pirates Online... this isn't Gank online. This is EVE Online... you cannot have one world without the other. Its a symbiosis that is required for the game to be playing. Stop pushing this fail thread and give up already. |

You obviously are trolling and not reading, lost ships to a gank recently? Anyways, if you have nothing constructive to contribute, feel free to get out of my thread and go troll elsewhere. I see some nice veld over there for you to nom on. |
