There is a problem with tech being so centralized. The old P/D bottleneck had some moons everywhere, but some regions much richer than others. Scalding Pass had its like three r64s, while Esoteria had like 16-20. So you had a nice curve of region value.

Now, it's simply binary: technetium region: insane isk/nontechnetium region: worthless

The primary thing that's ****** about tech is that it's so strongly regional. R64s as the bottleneck gives you a much better state of affairs in nullsec.

Much may not be scientifically believable, in the EVE universe... But the shuffling of moons seems a bit too fuzzy to be called logic.

CCP mixing up the building requirements shifting the bottleneck to a R32 indeed doesn't make a lot of sense. If wonder if adding some alchemy recipes would be enough to at least fix this mistake?

IMHO there is nothing wrong with a nice bottleneck, but Tech seems to have been a bad choice for various reasons.

Everyone who supports this has never done alliance logistics.

**** everything about having to tear down/setup towers on a monthly basis not to mention the never ending moon scanning in your territory. Asking people to tear down towers because where once platinum existed is now technetium. Or tear down their reaction farm, research pos, or jump bridge pos because suddenly a moon resource needs to be mined there.

"choice"

WOLOLOLOL

Any dev who tells you the tech bottleneck was intentional is a ******* liar.

Been there done that and yes it is work but hey, after a few days it's all good. MAOR TEARS!

There are several ways to rebalance tech that should be looked at but only dirt-eating simpletons who have never had to scan so much as a constellation, let alone a region every few weeks. And that's before the effect on logisticians who have to unanchor and reanchor hundreds of towers and mods every month or so because some knuckle-dragging chucklepov was a bit jealous but too incompetent to take any tech for himself.

Eve is hard, right? Isn't that what you guys are constantly enspousing? Do you need a cookie and a hug?

Shuffling would be cruel, I think, but amusing to my sadistic impulses. However, I think that, in accordance with the whole risk vs reward, Eve has consequences mindset, Tech moons should be exclusive to losec only. You want it, you have to fight for it, on a daily basis if needs be. Losec represents the section of space where the greatest risks are taken everyday, why shouldn't it possess the greatest rewards as well?

You can argue nulsec should possess such an honor, but frankly, once you amass huge chunks of real estate, well...even a toon from a large alliance admitted that their backyard is beyond safe.

Of course you'll hear that from those with a vested interest in the status quo.

I've a feeling that they are in the minority by a large margin.

I'm kind of enjoying how all of these people who have never setup a POS or gone through the pain of a full region scan are wanting people in nullsec to do it just because it hurts "Us goonies".

I have zero vested interest in moons, but I have had to scan moons & do all the pos stuff. It's a ****** job & I think most people who do it would rather subject themselves to electro-testicle torture.

too bad mittenz is a drunk...

for if he was still in csm then you guys would know about the pos revamp for winter expansion...

silly goons...

We have an entire team dedicated to each task: And the burnout on both are absolutely ridiculous. Because it's not fun. There's no little game you can play in your head to make it fun. Ratting is more entertaining. Mining is more interactive and engaging. Maintaining POS and JB networks is ******* grueling for the people doing it. And shooting through systems moon scanning is ugh. I lasted a week in our moon recon division and I barely got anything done.

This thread needs more utterly clueless, hisec mouthbreathers weighing in on nullsec mechanics and gameplay.

You pubbies sure do get mad when people come up with logical reasons why your ideas are pants on head stupid. It's almost like you are more upset at the person than the message.

Oh wait I'm a goon. Duuuuuuh.

I don't think this is the answer to the goal you seek. There's a difference between sparking pvp conflicts and forcing alliances to upend their poses and all their equipment and move every few months. The logistics would suck and no doubt the grunts would get sick of moving their crap from station to station. Part of the reward for null is staking out a home and being secure in the knowledge you're going to hold it for the forseeable future.

dumb goonie, learn your place!

Get rid of the Sov requirements altogether.
