This pretty much sums it up.
0.0 is all about TEAMWORK. I don't know of anyone who has ever built an outpost or titan completely by themselves. I've never seen anyone (successfully) fend off attacks on their space by themselves.
You can either make your own team (and work to keep it together and focused) or you can join someone else's team. Either way, *most* 0.0 entities employ a "NBSI" policy (Not Blue, Shoot It) which effectively translates into "If you're not on my team you're an enemy and we'll kill you".
That doesn't make them bullies. They're simply defending their space. Those that don't defend their space soon lose it.
(FYI, if you're in a starter corp you're especially targeted for killing since alot of enemy spies/scouts are in starter corps)
I completely disagree, I have lived around and in providence for about a year and have fought many different battles against lots of insurgents at various times. People I have fought with include CVA, IAC, NOS, Paxton etc.. etc..
I decided a while ago to get my alt-owned corp up and running and we have 4-5 people in it that have hulks and I'm finishing off my Rorqual training in order to move to 0.0.
The part of 0.0 isn't owned by anyone but is near IAC and CVA space. I know I can jump the ship through Providence no problems, because they run NRDS. IAC however don't.
so having fought on their side in the past, I figure upon seeing that they just reset standings in another forum that I might ask about +ve standings so we can just jump the ship through their space.
the answer: no. under no circumstances.
Which basically makes them glorified pirates imo. There's no real need to put my small 5 man corp at risk while we trade around the regions around them. We weren't after any type of access to their stations or anything else. Merely that we dont get ganked while travelling through the space that in the past as a "friendly neutral" we've helped hold.
Either the problem is functional with regard to the system and the standings lists aren't big enough etc etc (yep heard it before).
Or it's just that people prefer to be bullies, they prefer an air of obliterating small guys because they aren't worth dealing with and because "we can", but they'll make safe their space for their "allies" who are like-minded bullies that generally they are scared of or don't really wish to provoke in this same manner.
Of course they're bullies, there's no other way to describe it. VRR Homepage
