After reading the General Alliance "fix the damn drone regions ffs ccp" thread and finding that the vast majority of drone entities are represented in the thread I began pondering a quandry. Obviously the regions are still sub par to the faction regions of space in regards to loot, exploration, ratting etc etc but would any of the drone entities actually sell up given the chance?
This is the hypothetical. For every station in the drone regions, would any alliances be willing to trade for equivilant sov in a faction 0.0 space (ie a non npc 0.0 region that spawned faction npc's)? What about the half the equivilant sov? Say your alliance had 3 constellations with 2 stations would you support a move to 1 constellation of space with 1 station ownership? As a counter to this, would any alliances invest or trade stations for drone ones?
If you would stay how much longer are you willing to tolerate the neglect and lack of information regarding the intended purpose and vision that ccp had for the drone regions?
As always keep it smack free etc etc
BTW I should state that I have taken it upon myself to ask these questions and they in no way whatsoever represent anything to do with Katet.

Yes everybody in the drone regions are blue. We have a block party every 3rd Sat. and sing kum-bi-ya while holding hands. Don't be jealous I am sure you could join in if you bring some hash brownies or E.  |

Imo there is too much of a focus on loot in Eve...much like other MMOs. I'd rather see technology advancement as an alliance (Tech I, II, III, IV, and V) |

Hell I'd love the chance to have a place in the drone regions, the chance to build a new empire devoted to Industry and trade...
Just imagine a whole region devoted to Industry, god damn can you imagine the laaaag.

I can sell you the regions there that don't have stations.
For each region i take 5 bil + 0.5 bil each belt (example: region with 8 belts will cost you 5+4 = 9 bil).
Just write what system you like to have and send me the isk. |

dunno. We get complaints every day for shooting people. Madness really. It's safe to say most drone region inhabitants have been asking CCP for promised fixes until they saw blue in the face for a looong time :P But that is probably something different. What do I know - playing EVE on a black and white monitor does have its advantages. |

They nerfed t2 ammo so relative noobs could stand against 4-5 yr old players they are hardly gonna give us back that advantage because of numbers in a alliance. |

think again, you would have to import all mex you need for that, since there are no roids that give mex, the only source is lustering alloys, which a bs belt rat drop about 40 to 50, so it makes 4500 mex per rat max, will take some time till you have the mex to build even one bs |

Not that it gives much but it does give some...Gneiss. Not overly plentiful but can be found in the Drone Regions. |

Not only that, we also do afternoon 5 o'clock teas and play golf and croquet together. If I had a chance to sell drone regions I would never ever do it... It such a lovely peaceful place, where all the carebears go... |

Then dont make it based on numbers...infact make high numbers make higher tech cost more...which is realistic. Small elite Tech V alliances could kill The Blob. Large Tech V alliances...will be put down by the Jovians. :p |

Prior to joining Sparta, Neogen Industries was in a 4 corp alliance, and Neogen decided to grab a system in the drone regions soon after Revelations 1.0 opened them up. We moved from Dek to Drone regions, then joined Sparta and moved back to Dek.
I can tell you that the only thing I miss from the Drone regions is that our POS was in a system with an ICE field... and Dark Glitter is fantastic ice to have. Other than that, I would never go back.
Not saying that anything is wrong with the drone regions... I've also lived in Pureblind, and I would probably choose the Drone Regions over PB any day of the week. I am happy in faction space... lets leave it at that. :) |

drone regions aren't bad as long as you also own a normal region (cache, tenal, etc). I get lowend minerals faster npcing than i do mining for the with 2 characters it seems. |

The drone regions are great! The alloys refine so well that I've parked the Hulk and haven't mined in weeks.
My corp has BPO's for every single item we ever use. I sold an Apoc and built a Scorp for myself overnight. I don't know where else I'll be able to be fully self-sufficient like that. And with so little effort.
I am making way better ISK than I ever did in months of running level 4 missions.
So what if we're all blue to each other and so what if we have sleep-overs and so what if our mom's walk us to school and so what if we have milk and cookies during downtime?

Ive seen a few forays into the drone area just today so are you down playing them so you wont get kicked out by the guys who are in the northern war after its finished?. tin foil hat time?. |

Amazing. Despite stressing the fact that I was speaking from my own viewpoint and not that of a Katet official you still post something like this... Considering our continuing close ties with many of our friends to the north I find it hard to follow your logic here... unless you mean that we are worried about the likes of "the new north" being able to sustain an extended campaign beyond their home systems, which in itself is laughable. But I guess you would know that considering you're position up there in the north. |
