Sounds like a fishy business. Someone should do an audit.
Yo Zagdul, I'm not in the legion man wtf!
Daroh > I've bought a telescope, watching you guys fly in eve from my place )))
any mission (i think) will send you to any system within some arbitrary distance from your agent (could be constellation). but there's plenty of agents where this will mean you never get sent to lowsec. L1-4 are highsec+lowsec, L5 is only lowsec
It wouldn't come to that. If this idea was ever pulled off, the market manipulation and null lockdown would probably force ccp to do something within a couple of weeks. They'd first call an emergency meeting of the CSM and while they were busy chatting for hours in a closed session, CCP would haargoth all of the participating alliances. Null would be entirely in a free for all state and the first few critical hours would take place with much of the leadership of these alliances in a closed meeting.
Eve would be fun again, if only temporarily.
I don't see how they could successfully bash any alliances. The only thing that would happen is they would very quickly reform; their assets haven't changed, they really just need to import more TCUs.
Alliance leaders don't need to log into EVE online to, you know, lead their alliances.
the first alliance that gets all their members to train PI skills to 4 wins eve.
Well if they wanted to bash the "DCF" for instance, they could permaban a few thousand 0.0 bots, plus all the accounts that directly benefited from them, confiscate a reasonable estimate of the earnings of those bots from the alliance funds of the controllers of the space used by those bots, delete the TCUs and ihubs of any systems consistently used by bots, and temp ban the alliance leadership (don't tell me they don't know who they are) of said space as well.
Then they could completely reset the moon mineral balance to remove the current R64 wealth fountain.
Then they could heavily nerf supercapitals (including Titans) so that they're largely ineffective vs subcaps.
I think that would pretty heavily "bash" those alliances in a way that would be good for everyone except a few thousand butthurt bot owners.
^ it's not like CCP have to work within the in-game mechanics that we know how to game.
R64s are wealth fountains?
I would really like a total eve reset, but that will never happen.
If you kill enough of them they stop fighting - Gen. Curtis Lemay
Fear the KKM
a complete EVE reset would result in matalok and solo having a cardiac arrest...
As opposed to ISK fountains, yes.
me too. keep the character names, but everyone's sp and assets are set to 0, remove supercap bpos. no t2 bpos, everything's invented and we're all back to mining in bantams for a bit.
that'd unironically own bones

Casually mention this to your friends at CCP and tell us their reactions.
Upon further reflection, this would be great to implement right after destructible stations get released.
And the tears would be glorious.
I think reactions are covered under the NDA.
I wonder if CCP will tie in planetary control with system sov whenever (if?) DUST comes out.
There's nothing worse than having a good idea for a post not being good enough to pull it off :negative:
I like the bit when the guy in high sec threatens to kill me irl and I am all
Eve: Cataclysm?
As for what I said earlier, I guess I meant more than just disbanding, though seriously would 2500+ null systems suddenly losing sov NOT be inconvenient? Assets could be moved to personal hangars and 'stolen', wallets could be emptied, and stations transferred to nothing or some dummy corp. It might not last forever (I think I said that in my earlier post) but it would cause a hell of a lot of trouble and tbh a lot of panic and tears would ensue.
That said, I think they should simultaneously have Concord contract the blue flu for a week, just to make sure everyone is equally unhappy.
That would actually be fun as hell. Jesus Christ could anyone imagine how long a fleet of ten hour heros would take to grab a station?
The only way I'd be okay with a reset was if it was on a whole new server. I only just finished the training grind for interdictors, I don't think I can do it again.
Said it before: Open the EVE gate to frigate sized ships only, one way only, have exploration sites with BPCs to new ship types requiring all new skills, some abandoned Conquerable stations, delayed local, no hi-sec. It's effectively a server reset for those who want the option.
Ya, CCP will come out with that as soon as they can free that 2 man art department in 2017

While I like the idea in principal, the problem comes in your'e essentially dividing the eve universe into two separate universes, which breaks the "butterfly effect" CCP is always banging on about "one universe" and all that.
The only way you'd ever get this would be from some sort of catastrophic failure, like the building in Slough that houses the TQ servers burning down and taking any backups with it.
I wonder if those Russians who were going to cut the power to The Enslaver's house so RA could gank his Titan are still available?
We reported him being a dev, he got his assets frozen and then got banned - good times!
Daroh > I've bought a telescope, watching you guys fly in eve from my place )))
Yes but we can't report the TQ building for 'not being on fire' can we?
holy shit not the interdictor skill grind! my you are so brave
How so?
CCP's art department needs a new manager, someone who will nail a rusty "Arbeit Mach Frie" sign above the door.
Not true

You'll only have to go to LowSec if you base out of certain systems. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong but) I think if your mission giver is 2 jumps from a LowSec point, it will never actually send you to LowSec (again, could be totally off base, haven't missioned in ages).
Three months is still a long time if you're not a bittervet bro.
So apparently we took a station earlier from BR1CK? I would remember but I almost passed out from logging in.
Twitter: @WidotVenetianT - RIP Vile Rat.
A station which no-one wants.
I think BR1CK did? Not that their 2 Drakes fought us.
Twitter: @WidotVenetianT - RIP Vile Rat.
They don't even live there, we got trolled into shooting it, we lost today. Try to keep up.

Thankfully I only had to listen to DBRB talking about HIS TITAN and not anything else. I muted him halfway through the first minute as he wasn't FCing the fleet I was in this time.
14b to get away from DBRB. Worth it.

This cannot pass! We must take all measures to ensure EVE becomes as mind-numbingly boring as possible!
Randomize everyone's assets. Everything from 45 Bil in the bank and one of every class ship (less than 1%) to only a newb boat and you OWE 23 million. (also less than 1%) Also some people will suddenly find out that the Caldari State has them at -10.0 while the Amarr Empire sees them at 7.8. Reset all the skills back to 900,000 then fill the items with a random assortment of "injections" The skills injected are every skill needed as far as the label suggests. "Heavy interdictors" gives you all the skills needed to fly the ship at V... but it may not give you the skills to mount the mods to actually allow you to tank and trap ships in warp bubbles.
Thus everyone in EVE gets a taste of that "pre-made character" Fad that was the bees knees back in the hay day of pencil and paper RPGs.
They have way more Drakes than that. At least 7.
A mute cost you 14bil?
What VOIP do you use? So I can uninstall it before I accidently mute 3 people.

Why, in light of everyone's adventures in CEVE, do people still think a full reset would be fun? The mechanics, players, and gameplay would be the exact same. Even playing against people who provided an opportunity for people to farm until the server shutdown with stunted know-how, most of the transplants couldn't make it to the 6-month mark. Why would it be any different on TQ?
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain, or his sound logic. A full reset would be fantastic! [s]In six months no one would be playing anymore, EVE tanks, and DUST and WoD go down with it.[/s]
I mean, BUNNIES! LOOK!
pssst! You are about to recieve ~40 invitations to a private conversation...

the people that suggest stupid shit like that don't actually play or they're newbies too poor to buy a character
It takes you three months to train into dictors? Do you have -5 attribute implants plugged in or something?
Maybe he has no Spaceship Command skills at all. Or Navigation skills. Or Electronic Warfare skill...
Wow, What do you have trained?

I trained it on an alt. Goes from 0 to acceptable support skills in 3 months. Though I'm kicking myself because I went Per/Wil first instead of Int/Mem, and now I get to train into other the other races' dictors at 1800 sp/hour
You should have a remap available, unless you just barely swaped it around.

whaat, back to lvl2 missions if Eve reset to 0, (in caracals) and roaming nullsec in cruisers
You only get two, I went per/wil first, trained into a sabre hull then remapped int/mem and trained the bubble launcher etc.
As Pocahontas so wisely said (only to be ripped off by that scrub Heraclitus of Ephesus) you can't step into the same river twice. CCP won't risk a huge backlash from their most loyal customers (the ones with most to lose) by resetting.
Which isn't to say I would't want it to happen: I would. But it won't. Also, every faggot would sit in an implant clone (lol +2) straightlining for HACs for months while running missions for cash.
