So, since I've been in NPC null (3 days now) I have earned a little over 3 billion ISK. Literally, my money wallet is filled lol. Mostly ratting, but did pod someone who went against my Cruiser (epic loadout) in a much larger battleship. Probably thought he was gonna have an easy fight since my hull was slightly damaged from ratting (my cruiser can solo battleship rats). So figuring I could also probably take him on...I did...and won. He couldn't even dent my armor lol. And even funnier, was he had 3 plexes, used 1 and sold 2. So either he actually forgot he had them on him, was dumb or maybe it was a "christmas gift"
either way, he attacked me with 3 plexes. Like I said, probably thought he'd take me on easily. Didn't even have warp scramblers or slowy things in his ship lol...at least he never used them. Either way, never saw him again. (edit: Though I had the feeling he probably bought the account or it wasn't his, since he was actually asking questions most battleship owners would hopefully already know...forgot what he asked...in any case..."free" plex is always nice
)
I find NPC null far safer than highsec (someone tried podding me there when I was mining lol, and it wasn't the first time and different areas obviously) and better than lowsec which tends to be filled with gankers. Granted, PvP happens everywhere...but lowsec is like sov-lite, blobs but smaller blogs. And NPC null is a lot more fun than VERY boring blob sov. I hate sov and alliance blobs.
I ended up staying in NPC corp, to not deal with lame wardecs. But I got into a group with 3-5 others who try to play once a week. So that is fun. Usually its just me by myself. Personally, in any MMO or game or in real life...I much prefer groups of 2-10 people...I don't like huge blob gatherings.
But doing it this way is so much better. No lame blob sov, no spending tons of maintenance in sov space, and in npc null there is actually a lot of 1 vs 1 or small fleet fights happening...no lame blobs. Barely anyone seems to go to NPC null (at least where I am located). And I end up making friends with people who blow up my ship or are just mining or whatever it is they are doing. In fact, npc null has a MUCH better community than anywhere else in EVE from my experience of being here. And at least I can actually store stuff, do industry and what not in npc stations down there, that makes it a lot better. I am not interested at all in joining any alliance/corp with more than 10 people, and I already play with a small group...so its all good
That and I've earned a little over 3 billion ISK (edit: Granted, I did sell both plexes for 1 billion each...so that adds to most of the 3 billion)...my ship load out costs less than 25 million for everything...I earn FAR more than that.
Been having so much fun though
npc null really is amazing. At least to me it is. Or maybe my experience has been to luck, either way...really enjoying my time in EVE since I've started (again).
