But they cannot seem to make that leap for some reason. For them, L4s are about the end-all of everything.
Because the vast majority of their playerbase never leaves secure space. Frankly I'm suprised they didn't outright ban or come up with some other way of stopping the suicide ganks on freighters at this point, since there has been many many tears over that particular tactic.
no wrong. If any one thing in Eve should be overpowered, it should be the awesomeness of 0.0. People should look towards nullsec from highsec with nothing but a deep jealousy and hatred. The riches of nullsec should raise the bloodlust in even a carebear. The wrecks of ships and failed alliances should litter the server. Nerd battlecries should be heard from forum to IRC with fortunes resting on the graces of the lag gods.
In a word, nothing of nullsec should be pre-nerfed.
YES! A million times, THIS.
Instead, CCP is unwilling to answer a single question, asked repeatedly:
YES OR NO: Due to the increased risk and logistics effort required, 0.0 should be more - not as - profitable (in raw isk/h) than highsec L4 mission running.

Asked repeatedly? It's been asked atleast several hundred times in that thread alone.

And yeah, CCP have refused to answer it
Well if they want to be dicks and break everything, there's always the option of super jihadswarm efforts. Just fuck up the infidel mission runners until they make something else have better isk/hr.
A couple thousand goons could easily clog the sky with CNR debris clouds.

You know, the only thing that could make this more amusing was if it had a slide show montage to go with it.
Thanks for posting, haven't listened to that since April Really, the best thing about it is how calm Mittens sounds. Like, it's already been bought and sold, and these are simply facts, like the sky being blue or the sun rising in the east.
When I was in MerchI, Mittens didnt seem to do much other than swoop in when the next big spy thing came along.
I always assumed he was AFK masturbating listening constant vent streams from 100 different alliances all at once.
But that might be a bit harsh. He seemed like a chill dude.

The simplest fix for the mission running problem in my opinion is just moving the really high quality level 4 mission running into low-null security. Though the forums would likely melt down from the reaction, but christ would it be awesome.

which doesn't detract from him being pretty damn nice to hang out with on TS.
CCP is essentially fucked. They daren't change Level 4's due to the high number of pubbie fucks running them (i don't even know if they'd actually quit if it was taken away/moved/whatever, but they won't risk it), and they don't really have a way of boosting 0.0 without...ruining the in-game economy? Or something?
Seriously, why DON'T they keep level 4's as they are and simply have 0.0 be MORE valuable then that? It MUST be about inflation.

Back when I played a good number of players kept alts who's only purpose was to run lvl 4's for income. But lets face it, CCP has the reverse midas touch, as anything in game they try to change usually ends up fucked. They also seem to ignore problems until they basically become insurmountable, hence the problem with getting people into null sec, while at the same time keeping large alliances from locking all of it up and pushing out the smaller guys, while at the same time making holding space not a tedious waste of people's time. (e.g. the tower mechanic which pretty much chased me out of the game.)

They're from Iceland... this is a country that was prepared to quit NATO over fish.
As a people they are not right in the head.
To be fair Iceland isn't threatened by anything and they rely on fishing for basicly their entire economy. I mean its a country with a population of only 300k, they don't even have an army.
A whole country of rotten shark eaters. What do you expect?
Pssh just cause you arent hardcore enough to enjoy the subtle flavor that is Hákarl. Gonna nom me some of that shit asap. OM NOM NOM PUTRIFIED SHARK IS DA BOMB.
Just saw all the new fighter-bombers... I'd seen the gallente one but I hadn't seen the others. They're really borrowing pretty heavily from Freespace on these. Kinda makes me wish I could fly a Nyx. I can't, and it'll be years before I can think about it, but I can dream.

I like that Amarr one. However, no pod? And two crew showing?
Wait, are those NPC piloted like drones? I haven't been following.

...and when you are done with that; take a folding
chair to Creation and then suplex the Void.
I dont know, the solar sails are vital to the minmatar look, i like it! as for a tie fighter that was my first impression, as was that the Fenrir looked like the sand crawlers from starwars
I'm digging the traditional look of the caldari and gallente bombers. Especially the gallente one that oddly makes me think of old school pimped out cadillacs. I don't know why, maybe it's the acres of hood and the sexy lines.

Fighters and Fighter-Bombers are supposed to be piloted "drones" in the fluff. If you look at the various Fighters, you can see a little mans in the cockpit (we've had many late night CapSwarm conversations start out with "Oh shit, there are little mans in my fighters").
I always liked the "man in the fighter pilot" thing...
Ages ago I was one of those Interceptor pilots that would drop in fighters at game camps. I'd spend many hours just watching the little mans till the order was given.
Good times.

I've been known to tell my camera to follow my fighters in big fights when I am piloting my carrier. No reason not to really. I can control everything I need from the UI, and I'd rather watch my Enherji chew on a BS than my carrier floating in space.

Also, a better part of the country believes they live alongside elves, or at least won't rule it out. In fairness, I think a people that lived for over a millennia on an tiny island isolated in the North Atlantic, with little but the highly active geology for company, have earned an imaginary friend or two.

Fighter bombers are piloted by dime-a-dozen NPC pilots who are strangely eager to die.
Edit: Death Row prisoners promised awesome life insurance for the benefactors?
chair to Creation and then suplex the Void.
Space shuttle door gunners who will trade their life for five minutes to ride fire (if even that, given some people's drone skills...)?
half the time we were sitting around waiting for big fleet ops to go down i would sit in my mal and watch the fighters assigned to me
God dammit! More solar sails :x
Steam
Only the strong can help the weak.
There's other corporations besides caldari navy?
And everyone you meet in space will call you a macroer and spit on you.
The mimitar shutlle is a dead ringer for a tie fighter imo
