Weekend fun: hot take contest! Share your spiciest opinion for $3

High sec, well, that's where we all start, right? It's like the baby steps of Eve – you're learnin' to skate before hittin' the rink, eh? But here's the thing – once you've got your double-double down, it's time to spread your wings!

Wormholes, low-sec, null-sec, and Pochven – those are like the real adventure zones, the untamed wilderness of Eve, you know? I mean, who needs the kiddie pool when you've got a whole galaxy to explore, eh? And lemme tell ya, we need more folks settlin' down in these wild parts. It's like packin' up for a cross-country road trip instead of stickin' to your own backyard.

But, and here's where the real comedy comes in, how 'bout we throw in a bit of extra bait, eh? Incentives, they call 'em. Give us reasons to leave the cozy comfort of high sec. Maybe some space poutine or free tickets to a beaver wrestling match – you know, just a little extra nudge to get us explorin' the wild, wild space.

So there you have it, my cosmic comrades – let's swap the training wheels for some cosmic skates and glide through the real action, eh?

It makes sense for Hisec and Lowsec to have Local Chat enabled by default because it would be a basic piece of infrastructure.

By contrast, WH space has no local chat due to not having that same infrastructure. It goes to reason that Nullsec space should have the OPTION to add this same infrastructure, but it should not be given by default. Player owned and operated space should have an anchorable and fueled structure that provides the benefits of civilized space, such as local chat. Nullbears rely on local, so it would be an additional resource sink while adding another level of gameplay.

Edit: Vinne brought this up first, but I'm in full agreement

Hot Take? Ban the plex vault. Make it so plex has to be moved by ship. It will make New Eden a really interesting place.

Remove Kill-Report API

With access to nearly flawless intelligence on characters, their ships, and friends, the number of potential encounters that never took place is astonishing. Eliminating the option of third-party apps like zKillboard would make EVE Online a more thrilling and perilous environment!

"Just Because" (for future branding for this platform :D ) it comes up often when I do Exploration in EVE Online...Cherry Picking.

When you are in blue/friendly space, following the rules is pretty straight forward. It doesn't matter if you agree with said rules or not.

When you are in hostile space, Cherry Pick every site you see!

The only frustrations I've seen shared about Cherry Picking sites, is by people who were too slow to find their own fresh sites.

Of course the topic leads to a more zoomed out conversation or question. Should your time spent in game be utilized to make someone else's session easier?

Again, if in friendly/blue space, probably. If not, then absolutely not ;)
