SRP for sov-related fleets must remain as-is... otherwise, alliances will face problems with numbers, particularly for logi and specialist roles.<br /><br />But I honestly don't understand how any members of sov null groups can be poor. It's so ridiculously easy to make isk in null that no one in a CFC or N3 coalition, in particular, has any business complaining about isk. Do anoms, sigs, or supply markets and you can be rolling in wealth. For the price of a single Ishtar, you can farm isk to your heart's content.<br /><br />What concerns me is when SRP policies exist that hold and "let's get some fights" fleets to the same standard as sov objective fleets. When the point is to get experience PvPing, the policies affecting those fleets should be different than when you're achieving a strategic objective.<br /><br />In every alliance I've been in, the existence of SRP has caused players to shun non-SRP fleets, and the education value of PvP tends to be heavily skewed in favor of exactly those kind of shunned fleets. The result is that members don't progress and become better.<br /><br />And that concerns me, as a person who wants to see the number of engaged PvPers increase.Talvorian Dexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01349917611382684205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4159840807393856856.post-40870017193473525632014-09-05T08:45:41.760-04:002014-09-05T08:45:41.760-04:00now now.
Let me clarify 2 things for you.
First ...now now.<br /><br />Let me clarify 2 things for you.<br /><br />First is, SRP did not make people risk-averse. It is the contents and the way of the alliance makes people risk averse. <br /><br />SRP is merely there to get people in the fleets to prevent them from being risk-averse during fleet fights.<br /><br />Lets say you are a lachesis and have shitty isk. you bought the ship. during the fleet, you will not take risks If there is no SRR in there because you can't buy any other pvp ship.<br /><br />Now with SRP, poor people can continue doing PVP.<br /><br />Now the things you said above causes because of the way alliances create or get into content.<br /><br />OFC they will dictate their own doctrines, they are created mainly to counter the enemies you encounter. Or other reasons. For example in command ships there are some tank mods there to keep you alive and gives you ehp. If a guy did not fit the right module, then he will die easily, but If he could chose to fit the right module, maybe logis can catch the reps on him alas he won't get SRP.<br /><br />Especially Role ships have to be in the fits like that. Or utility mods etc. This is called "Organisational Structure" If you don't do it, it will simply be chaos and turkey shoot.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4159840807393856856.post-58190435564612619132014-09-04T20:25:22.680-04:002014-09-04T20:25:22.680-04:00Pretty sure that's why Goonswarm Federation ha...Pretty sure that's why Goonswarm Federation has peacetime reimbursements, with minimal fitting and skill requirements (currently double reimbursement for Goonfleet proper). It lets you experiment and do whatever PvP that you want while covering most of your costs.<br /><br />Of course... you'll get paid more for strategic fights with specific fits, though that makes sense from a coalition persective.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12617716750386978213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4159840807393856856.post-45599253760590797582014-09-04T18:13:17.675-04:002014-09-04T18:13:17.675-04:00Null sec grunts are ment to be drones.......non th...Null sec grunts are ment to be drones.......non thinking ships in space assisting their drones to someone with a brain.

For a line member, they're pretty much as low-skill PvP as you can get.<br /><br />And you're right about the reasons. You have to incentivize people to join those fleets.Talvorian Dexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01349917611382684205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4159840807393856856.post-48931106359767889092014-09-04T16:00:32.547-04:002014-09-04T16:00:32.547-04:00You act like there is much skill involved in fleet...You act like there is much skill involved in fleet fights lol<br /><br />SRP is there for two reasons. The main reason is to keep people in fleets when shit hits the fan. A second reason is to entertain players with alliance funds.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4159840807393856856.post-38786108332064565172014-09-04T15:02:43.184-04:002014-09-04T15:02:43.184-04:00mmm... dat sweet dopamine...mmm... dat sweet dopamine...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
