I got ganked in Jita once. Frankly it was hilarious. First it startled the crap out of me. Second for a few seconds, I was in complete denial. But then I thought, "that was exciting and unexpected".

I lost 1.6 Billion ISK in 3 Faction mods that the ganker couldn't even grab because the single most expensive one was destroyed. I promptly docked back up tp 4-4, re-bought the same items, hopped into a Cormorant and went home... (Really crapping myself the second time)...

Fun times...

Doc,that you?

The 2 should be kept apart and fighting should be by consent only unless in low sec.



so.... go back to playing WOW


The EVE DEVS THEMSELVES have said that fighting in EVE should NEVER be by consent. It would ruin the very fabric of the game.

FC, what do?

If you're too incompetent to train your crew to jump ship with you then there's nothing I can do for you.

So you were too lazy to do something exciting. So you let lazy PVPer blow you up - sounds like a fair trade.

OK, I know that I am going to get totaly flamed for this, but it is the truth...

High Sec Gankers add excitement back in the game. Although I feel badly for anyone who looses their mining ship/fleet, I really like the excitement and risk of a potential ganker attack. Even though I am in HighSec, my fleet plays as if I was sitting in a Wormhole with the benifit of a LOCAL indicator. :) Life does not get any easier than that. Watch local, D-Scan, Count the ships and players... Play the Game!

Out of the attacks over the past two months, I have never lost a ship, and I have picked up a bunch KillMails from my Alt-Hulks. Being killed by a Hulk has to be the worst for anyone, so I love to post them instantly. :) I guess I am evil that way.

Even though I really was kinda pissed at what was going on at first, my mind started looking at it in a whole new light. and it HIT ME! I was having a lot of fun again... :)

God I love this game... Just the way it is. A real Sandbox.

These guys.

Every Goon ship probably has a screaming preacher on it telling a bunch of brainwashed ten-year olds that they will go to heaven and sit on the right hand of The Mittani if they die blowing up a mining barge.


You forgot about the Virgins they will get too.... :)

We would just respawn. Immortal capsuleers etc etc ...

Remember to UPDATE YOUR CLONE. Goodness if you get podded in Empire by miner you ganked, that's bad enough, but if you lose skills that's just lame. UPDATE YOUR CLONE.

Having a plethora of mental illnesses isn't required but it certainly helps. Also, bots.

I am old, retired and do not suffer from any mental illness... I actually rather enjoy my insanity. :)

Actually I'm only playing 8 at the moment. The rest are for friends and family to play on. I keep trying to sucker more people into playing. Still, I have quite a few family members playing.

Now I really want to get my son off the World of WarCraft tit, but he is a smack talking uber elite top ranked PVP player. Oh the shame of it all.

As for spending money on EvE, My wife is happy because I am at home where she can keep an eye on me and it is far less expensive than my old race car habit. Ever spend 10 grand on a new engine only to frag it on the first day and have to fork out another 10 grand to replace it too? Yeah, my wife LOVES that I play EvE now.

BTW: Anyone need any old Chevy racing parts? lol

The last few weeks it's been Skyrim and next week it may be Diablo 3.
For sure it won't be Eve untill they fix the screw ups, if ever.
It would ruin the very fabric of the game LMFAO
They are doing that by themselveswith the stupid changes they keep implementing, but tha's another issue completely.
I did get a 14 day invite for WOW in the Starcraft battlechest.
Do you recomend it?

Untrue.

If true, then ban War Decs NOW.

Logic Flaws and Nonsense Posts still reign.

In fact that just might qualify as a rumor post.........Twisted

Gankers have had a interesting effect on high sec players. Especially miners. Just yesterday I was asking some guys in a ice belt how active gankers were in the area. I got responses in the form of "I wasn't born yesterday" and "moron". One would have assume they thought I was a ganker myself. This is not healthy.

That "unfairness" is what kept me playing this game and is probably the thing that would keep me playing for a long time.

Players decides where, what, how and when "safe" is. Not some almighty game developer who tells you that if you want safe, stay in this town or in this building. This is what separates Eve from other MMOs out there. This is what makes Eve unique, not just spaceships.

Tbh, I've played a lot of MMOs in the past 10 years and nothing compares to the thrill and excitement I get from playing Eve.
