I wonder why they don't direct the money from the angels to expanding more and becoming more powerful. You are right that their best space is very focussed in Fountain, but then its probably the best region in the game. The background has them as far less powerful than the angels or guristas. Thay have more regions than bloods or sanshas, who are totally different in all aspects other than damage types. (I want to know how i can get missions from them in curse but only kill them in fountain). Serpentis are so weak (militarily) they have to hire the angels to protect them ffs (gaurdian angels). You are as well asking why amarr space is so big. Tl:dr version - there is almost nowhere with serpentis rats, see images. Even if no more serpentis areas are opened, it'd be nice if ratting in the other 4 serpentis regions didn't suck balls.

On this issue, there's almost no western 0.0 regions, and two of them are NPC sov. The biggest imbalance is how concentrated ultra-low sec serpentis areas are (almost all in fountain) which is wrong imo. The reason I find this bad from a gameplay standpoint is that it reduces the supply of named hybrids and other gallente stuff. Fountain is really the only region with Serp rats that's worth a damn in terms of money. Not only do other NPC's have several more regions, they have many more good systems, and those system are more distributed. This image is the same but put over an outdated eve influence map (so you can see the actual space and compare)īlood Raiders and Sansha are lumped together since they're both Amarr rats and in most aspects are the same. This is an image showing the size of each NPC pirate's patrolled space. Only XZH has a station in it, the other two are NPC controlled and are 16 and 14 jumps from the nearest station, respectively. two of the 4 regions (Fade is more north than west) are NPC sov, and all but 3 of the best systems with Serpentis rats are in Fountain. Not only that, there's almost no 0.0 out in the west anyway, and most of it sucks. The space that you find Serpentis rats in belts is really small. The following post is from a gameplay standpoint, not a roleplay standpoint
