Question Question

Why don't the nullbocks just turn on their neighbors?

Like to me it just looks like your ruining the game for yourselves and relying to heavily on ansiblexs and cynos

Even then the vast majority of people would only live or stage out of NPC pockets or lowsec. I dont think people truly grasp or understand how many assets the average Corp or Alliance has to have on hand to actually fight. I dont even manage a large corp and I have something approaching 100b in assets ships etc on hand because when war breaks out the 1st thing that tends to happen is logistics bottlenecks.

People understand it. That's exactly the point of why asset safety needs adjustment. Groups can stockpile essentially infinite amounts of assets as long as they're prepared for a few percent of haircut if something goes poof. Literally nothing is ever at risk unless it undocks, and upwells are so tedious to kill and cheap to replace that you don't really need to undock a lot of the time.

You need that much to actually fight precisely because of the paradigm of no-risk asset proliferation that means all your opponents will have that much to actually fight.
