This titan business of mine has opened me to the nullsec without actually going there. Hundreds of people are giving me info in comments, mails, links to forums. God, I thrown some really big rock into the pond with my "I'll just buy a titan" idea. If I'd be here for tears, I'd be having so much fun watching the bitterness of veterans who speak from years of experience of not having a titan and never having even 10% of its cost in their wallet (which I already have, after less than 3 months of playing).
However I'm not here for tears, and that's exactly the point of all that is to come. I got the same thing in several comments and even in discussions with nullsec people. Two nullsec corps already offered me a spot despite of my titan plans. I mean they recognized that I can make ISK, so even as a sideline advisor I could make some really good ISK for them, good enough to make them hold their supercap line for a month or two to give me my toy titan. One of the corp leaders (within a nullsec alliance) told it explicitly, while they have several supercaps, they don't really expect any of them to see fight, because they are not here to get more sov. They want good fights and the titans spoil it. They either make the enemy flee, or turn the battle into supercap battle where stakes are high: you either lose everything or you destroy an enemy alliance which you don't want since then you'll have no more good fights just a bunch of systems you don't really want.
It's disgusting for an alliance to be so mediocre. I mean the average little guy is by definition mediocre, and there is nothing wrong with that. Actually to be happy and moderately rich person, a guy should accept himself as mediocre and stop aspiring for personal greatness (trying to outdo his neighbor). But an organization must always strive for excellency. "I'll be great or bum" is a terrible strategy for a man (as he has 99% chance for the latter outcome), but for an organization, an idea, it's a must. If it fails, people (including leaders) can leave and join another organization. I understand that some people don't want to make effort just have fun, RvB is there for your casual fun! I'm not looking down on RvB, they are true casual fun people who enjoy themselves. But there is a reason that RvB is not in null. Null is not supposed to be mediocre "good fight for fun" nonsense. It supposed to have consequences. The star ownership system is there for a reason.
I don't want a toy titan. I don't want a titan for itself. I'm sure what I want: I want EVE to be won. Not by me, no individual can do that. However I'll be in the organization doing it. How can you win EVE? Simple: own every non-NPC system of k-space. One empire under the stars.
My question is simple: do you know of an alliance wanting more than jerking around, playing "RvB with battleships"? Is there a leader who want to be The One Emperor? Are there pilots who want to be there when history was made rather than whore on killmails of ships what the enemy replaces from tech moon profits before the killers could finish bragging? I have to know, because I want to offer my ISK for the cause. Not that "pitiful" 10B I already have. But the hundreds of billions I'll make in highsec a year and the trillions one can make by my schemes utilizing their nullsec resources. All will be fed to the war machine. The advices are free, even if they create trillions, and my highsec trading hundred-billions will turn into expendable ships I'll ride. Like titans. They aren't goals, they are tools for a goal: to win. To have The One Empire.
This is my new aim: to catalyze the creation of The One Empire. I'm ready to join with anyone who has the ambition. "Anyone" includes Goons. I mean, guys, seriously?! Hulks?! Random ships in Jita?! That's your idea of tears? How about "No pubbies (besides allies) can leave high sec because we own all the sov and all our members ride capitals to roam low and NPC null killing everything what is not blue"? That would be tears of people who matter, not newbies that CCP must save. Those would cry who jumped into the sov game without the will to win. Those who believe themselves to be more than the "highsec bears" just because they squat in null while actually making ISK by ratting, missioning or doing incursions in high sec. They will lose everything and have to give up their formal residence and live where they belong: high sec.
EVE can be won, therefore will be won by someone. Will it be you, or your enemy? One thing is for sure, I'll be with the winners, fueling their engine with trading and riding a titan! Probably I'll do that a bit later than I thought, as the goal is no longer the titan, it's just a tool for the goal: to win. If you play to win, you must not fool around "for fun lol". So if the leaders show some serious theorycraft proving that I'll be more useful that way, I'd drop the titan idea and fly a ship that dies a lot, so need my highsec money just as much as a titan, while doing something that I enjoyed the most while playing different games over the long years of my gaming career. Obviously I'm talking about a triage carrier. Or rather a dozen. Heal until popped, jump to the station, reship and return. This case, after we won the war, after we have all the stars, after those who refused to join are locked into highsec, I'll celebrate by mining mercoxite - in a titan.
