Coming from a largely high-sec background, it's something that none of us had experienced and some of our members have only been playing for a few months.<br /><br />I agree that the logistical aspects of getting the right kit to the right place is a frustration, but if the alliance joined is supportive and has the infrastructure in place (which they must have in order to survive themselves), this doesn't need to be a barrier.<br /><br />Despite these issues, thus far our null-sec experience has been pretty positive. We've found that as much, if not more variation in content is available to us and the alliance community is thriving, friendly and happy to educate the clueless. Low skills certainly hasn't hampered our involvement.<br /><br />Perhaps we have been lucky and fallen on our feet with an alliance that is different from the norm, but Split Infinity has definitely been good for us.Mat Westhorpehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08553980835026556794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072295959847306495.post-51632967890180980212011-06-10T18:37:43.912-07:002011-06-10T18:37:43.912-07:00I was in the Vale area was left by the NC to colla...I was in the Vale area was left by the NC to collapse and burn (partly I believe in CCP nerfing null in favour of the larger alliances).

My corp put few demands on me, but I was basically useless for a long time.<br /><br />The lack of industrial presence was startling to me, too. It's all about the jump freighter. So 0.0 has an extractive economy.<br /><br />I think CCP understands there's an issue. I'm sure their decision making process, in the past, has been, "Let's try this, and see what happens!"Toldainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00501926678749747844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072295959847306495.post-71037536679888165462011-06-10T10:12:34.415-07:002011-06-10T10:12:34.415-07:00@chris - that's fine for everything except the...@chris - that's fine for everything except the hulls.

It's harder yes, but not impossible.<br /><br />@Let, about the "light footprint": I couldn't agree more on this, but the irony is that most alliances require that their pilots fly a whole multi-tool's worth of ships, and that they have spares for them. And they don't care how you acquire them, but leave you little time to do anything ISK-making related.Benoit CozmikR5 Gauthierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15344632862155047695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072295959847306495.post-14242552256971392842011-06-10T08:25:33.638-07:002011-06-10T08:25:33.638-07:00Wow.

I think I'll hang in wormhole space for now, and try to get some low & null experience through roams.<br /><br />Logistics has always been the bane of small alliance life, whether in WH or null. I am surprised to hear that null space logistics is more of a nightmare than WH.Knug Lidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08168621175894976018noreply@blogger.com
