So remove trit from nulsec? Cool, so just like how we can't get zyd, meg and morphite in highsec. They already complain anytime they have to mine veld or scordite for the mins instead of their king, arkonor…

Unless you do the walmart thing and sell in bulk….

ASDVAP is absolutely correct in this regard. Manufacturing barely pays, and frankly a mission makes me more ISK than building a BS and trying to sell it.
'Crafting' sucks in Eve.

At least FW encourages pvp and isn't risk free isk. The main problem with incursions was that you could make lots of isk while risking little to nothing. At least FW follows the logic of greater reward with higher risk.

You spend isk on LP purchases sending it into the ether of some tracking wallet somewhere that CCP accesses to get cool stats sometimes. Thus it is an isk sink. You likely haven't done much PvE or Faction Warfare if you didn't realize this. Until you can get LP items for free from it, it will remain a sink.

Mining is not an isk sink or an isk faucet, but rather an isk transferring mechanism. You transfer materials into isk from other players, then the materials are made into an item which is sold/used by other players, for isk from other players. The only real isk faucets(IE a part of the game that makes isk from nothing) in the game are bounties, mission/incursion rewards, and wormhole bluebooks. The manufacturing section of the game, is literally just about transferring isk to places from places.

FW is not an isk sink. By your logic mining is an isk sink because it does not generate isk but generates materials (which is what LP does in essence, if you want to convert it to isk) that you then sell or use to make items that you then sell.

FW takes isk out of economy and transfers isk from player to player. It doesn't generate isk it generates LP. Which is then transferred via the purchase and sale of items into ISK that has been made from actual faucets, like missioning or complex running. It is not an isk faucet, it's an isk sink.

titans can easily get killed now. only reason you havent seen any die after the nerf is because no one fields them anymore unless they are sure that they have overwhelming advantage. IE: only coalitions that use titans atm are CFC and HBC. The same people who also outblob you with subcaps on any given day.

Are you telling me that if pl only used 20 titans (with no subcap support) against 300 -a- tengus that the titans would own the field now? offcourse not. PL needs the subcaps that test brings to make sure that their supers are safe. That is how the game works now. Supers>caps. Subcaps>supers.

I'm sorry Sameyaa but that is a stupid argument. There are many counters to Maels. That is called balance.

Please show me the last time a titan was killed when someone had 20+ of them on field. Without the other side having more titans. You can't….why? because there is no other counter.

EN24 has got value. You would not be here to read it and post comments.

If you had to read more blogs by Jester would you only get dumber than you already are.

How would you feel about avoiding your fate?

Simple truth: wars are ignited by resource shortages, period.

Be it Tech, be it trit. If there is a shortage, fights will erupt.
EVE needs more shortages and these shortages must be unequally distributed for territorial purposes.

Hence:
Tech on one side of the universe is GOOD.

Pro tip:
Seed *other* shortages* in *other* parts of the EVE universe.

Issue solved.

The ONLY counter to a CFC 1400 man blob, is a blob of similar or equal size, and currently that can't be done – therefore CCP NERF BLOB's K Thx

And how is that any different from ze blob bringing 800 vs 200 – same end result but now with tidi at 10%

I do hope you are being ironic. EN24 has negative quality so watering it down would improve it. Perhaps you mean to say it is concentrating it's "quality" and it is getting to be too much for you?
