I'd really like more control over who i can sell to and what my local taxes/fees are but I'm happy that I can at least sell locally.<br /><br />What I don't like is the fact that all that I need cannot be bought or even sourced locally. Hafnium is abundate but is controlled by large power blocs, same as mercury and other R32/R64's. So I have to import those.<br /><br />T2 materials aren't made at all here aside for private use, there just is no market and I don't know how to stimulate that market considering I have contacts but I'm red/hostile to all of them.<br /><br />:(<br /><br />Escorts were something I'd be part of or ask for when I was in Providence. Didn't need much, just a few combat ships of frigates and BC's to scare off potential troublemakers along with one or two webbing ships to speed us to warp.<br /><br />The Captainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15402431275369457819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034648231113497454.post-51869639074533899092014-10-10T13:05:34.700+11:002014-10-10T13:05:34.700+11:00Your last paragraph is, I think, what CCP wants to...Your last paragraph is, I think, what CCP wants to get to, and I would not be surprised if some of the 0.0 emperors think the same.<br /><br />And flying escort for capitals can be quite a team-building thing: one of my more persistent memories as a nublet is escorting some freighters through 0.0 (that's then I learned the web-to-warp trick) back when JFs were still a rarity.Druur Monakhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07299435488090977357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034648231113497454.post-28264258697975226282014-10-07T17:22:01.953+11:002014-10-07T17:22:01.953+11:00I commented, in jest, to my CEO just the other day...I commented, in jest, to my CEO just the other day that I still had nightmares from 2011 when PL jumped 20+ titans in KBP7-G when they took the system. It was both demoralising but fascinating at the same time. :)<br /><br />The changes won't get rid of the capital blob, they'll still be there only they won't be able to use a cyno to appear from so far away. Instead they'll need to be escorted (as they should) via gates to either the target system or somewhere within jump range so they can just cyno in as needed.<br /><br />Either way, they'll need protection and more chance of being seen but they'll still be there and as a result not that much will change. <br /><br />But will we instead see several smaller entities nibble at the space larger ones have, carving out their own territory? Who knows, that would be good to see or better still, be part of.The Captainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15402431275369457819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034648231113497454.post-61320868703395737352014-10-07T16:01:41.461+11:002014-10-07T16:01:41.461+11:00I admit, I'm a bit torn about the Jump Drive c...I admit, I'm a bit torn about the Jump Drive changes. On the one hand, as mainly (bad) sub-cap pilot, I welcome them. On the other hand, I have enough imagination to feel the pain of logistics pilots everywhere (I'm less sympathetic to the cries of owners of über-pwn mobiles).<br /><br />If these changes go forward, EVE gameplay outside of hi-sec might significantly change (though not overnight), and it would take a while a while to see if it is for the better. And maybe it would be a good thing if the old capital guard really did quit in disgust, to make space for newcomers who can still adapt.Druur Monakhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07299435488090977357noreply@blogger.com
