~20 day buddy keys subscribed accounts can use to invite brosefs to the game, if the brosefs sub then the account who invited them gets rewarded with either 30 days to sub-time or an ICE (their choice). Only works for brand new accounts.

I'm suprised you haven't ripped this off from EVE a long time ago, it's a great way to motivate existing players to get more players.

"Main effect" does not mean "massive effect".

As I've restated numerous times in this thread, run some though experiments yourself to see where the change will impact.

In the short term, with so few players, I doubt the change will really have much of any change to STC/NEBS. Other than maybe having to mine on (2) Islands to bounce the ores back and forth, but even then it would probably just be colixum... but that's just best guess since I have no idea who, how, or where anyone is currently mining.

Lets just restate this again...the unlimited fields you speak of, are on beta and alpha as well...

Just dont complain when heavy's triple in price and the mods to fit them do just the same.

Its laughable to compare mining to m2s right clicking and insta 100 heavy mechs.

Been giving you far to much credit this whole time apparently.

I dont care about limited or unlimted fields, my point has to do with the stock-piles and the EP difference between us and new players. I am stating that the game cannot handle the population needed to offset the advantages we have over them. In order for them to even have a fighting chance.

In the event that a population rise does happen and it is not at the proper level they will have the same experiences and results as many of the corps in our past have. They will face enemy's who appear to be unbeatable and never ending assets. Being low on EP and lack of experience there ability to combat the vets will be almost not existent. It will be like running on beta 4x4 box on beta with a arkhe with no guns, except they

We had to face a group at launch that only had 2-4 months EP advantage on us with resources and knowledge. You know what that perception did for the moral of the players during that time.

Do you see what I am getting at or should I finger paint it for you guys? limited or unlimted resource, If they arn't worth gathering then it wont matter which they are.

I agree .. the current system works well

Dont change anything ... PLEASE !!!

If players want pvp they know where to go for it ... its not like people dont know where others live ....

what this whole thing is about is people wanting lazy pvp, theres no reason to up end the resource system so a few people can go gank miners again.

Why can't I go out for a Hour or maybe 2 and get a decent challenging PvP fight on this Wednesday evening?

This has been like this since bergers was built, the whole purpose for ewar so close to a wall is to prevent from terraforming in.  I have A whole section of 90 turrets like this.

Edited: clarification of day my day one.
