EVE General Discussion

I can't wait for the "Erebus pilot goes mental" thread on Kugu

FYP

I looked up BRABODEN in game. I then realised we had set them red. Then I realised it was because they are all as ******** as OP.

Still, when they try to camp your WH in a 400mil stealth bomber they're pretty welcome to have around. (EDIT: links still don't ******* work, so copy-paste http://www.suddenbuggery.com/killboard/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=1667)

Further reading: I never wanted that Carrier anyway

tl;dr - I don't think OP is trolling. Flame on.

its true my mom never loved me

Look - we need to clear up this "if you undock you consent to PvP" rubbish...it's complete bollocks.

Look at real life - when you leave your house, do you 'consent' to being mugged? No you don't , but you do accept that it could happen, but there are deterrents in place to help guard against it happening.

I have to ask, where are the actual empire forces in all of this - surely if the Gallente Federation's economy is being manipulated in this fashion, and not to their benefit, they would be doing something about it and not sitting back and allow 'invaders' to come in ruin their empire for them (look at the two most protectionist countries in the real world, China and the US - would they allow this to happen?)...so its not Concord that should be taking action, but the Gallente Navy. But, because the whole game mechanic for these actions is, while not broken, unrealistic, the Goons can do what they want.

On top of the post-Incarna Perpetuum effect which severely reduced player numbers, I suspect that there are many 'casual gamers - those who come on to mine and hang out with their corpies (in other words, the silent majority) who will probably think "screw this" as a waste of my monthly subscription. And of course now people are being offered a protection racket to get 'grey' standings with the Goons - who will probably gank them anyway!

As for making modules to sell to the Goons - why would I want to help someone screw the game even more?

I won't unsubscribe and will do other stuff to fill in my time online - but that means I'm playing someone else's EVE online, not mine.

i find that most pvper's are ok and understand the need for industrialists

but you do get a good few immature kids that like to be a schoolyard bully in this sandbox game.

they hide behind their insecurities by bullying those defenceless players such as noobs and miners cos its easier than dealing with having small todgers or have yet to come out of closets in real life or something but i guess we'll never know.

Sorry, but your argument falls apart with the "real life" comparison. Yes, when you undock, you automatically consent to losing your ship. The Concord mechanic does not exist to make high-sec safe, it exists to create an illusion of safety, and at the very least to make gankers weigh the costs (ship+fittings minus insurance) against the benefits (loot from your ship, recipient's rage, whatever)

You are a lot like the idiots who cry about Hulkageddons.

I am certain that acting like a brat to people who are responding to your thread is going to go well for the OP.

What the… how the… why… UGH!
Well, that clears things up immensely, to be honest.
…apart from it being 100 percent true, that is. When you undock log in, you do so into a full-PvP environment and agree to pretty much anything anyone else might do to you. You are given all the tools you need to prevent this from happening and from there on, it's your choice how things play out.
No, let's not. Instead, look at these oven mitts shaped and textured like a tiny piggy with its omgzcute snout and tail… Why? Because those mitts are roughly 80 percent more relevant to what happens in-game than real life.
Actually you do, due to the tiny detail you left out: that you willingly moved to Mugger's Lane, Robbersville, in the northern part of WeNickYourStuffistan — a street, city and nation where the… ehm… let's call it “unplanned redistribution of property“ is the national sport, universal pass-time and, not the least, the accepted way to say “good morning” to your next-door neighbour (in fact, your neighbour would consider you outright rude and tell on you to the local McCarthy-wannabe if you ever accidentally returned that lawn-mower you “borrowed” five summers ago).
As little involved as they can get away with is where they are, for we are capsuleers — immortal demigods that do not answer to their impotent courts and legal systems (and, with the wealth of plants at our personal disposal, we'd just buy the court and everyone in it if they ever tried to drag us in there)

So mighty are we that they had to hand over the handling of us to a special cross-empire entity that extensively uses cheats and backdoors to make us stop tearing up the neighbourhood. But again, there is that wealth of planets bit, and this institution is just as easily corrupted as any other and will happily avert their eyes for a nominal fee.

Sure, the empires themselves might give some token resistance if we offend them and stray into their space, but that's just for show and to placate the plebs — their actual tactics show that they just prefer it if we simply sod off and bother someone else.

@OP

You sir had came to the wrong universe. This is EVE, not Earth. EVE is real, but it's different reality from your definition of law and justice.

Read more Chronicles. It would help you understand that.
