why give mining barges a ridiculous boost and not tighten restrictions on -10s in highsec?

wtf CCP, why make ships ungankable when the real issue is freedom of -10s in high sec?

Miners are being ganked indiscriminately because:

-10 can fly around high sec in destroyers with out being stopped at gates. -10s shouldnt be able to jump a ship through gates
-10 can hope into an empty gank fitted ship in a safe spot and immediately warp to a roid belt to kill a target
-10 can be launched from a positive sec status orca

this is the problem, too much freedom for -10 players in high sec and not enough consequence for killing a target in high sec


Ah, **** it.

I'm done playing "nice" with you lot, and I consider myself at least a little bit of a carebear at heart:

Leave our sandbox, now, and feel free to...not come back.

There are no "safe-zones" in EVE, there are no "no-touch halos" around your head,

THIS.
IS.
NOT.
WoW.
(Or any of its many even worse clones/wannabes, for that matter.)

What the f is so bloody hard about this?



I have forgotten more about suicide ganking then you will ever know, and have been doing it since before your toon existed. im not asking for safe zones, im asking for compromise. i dont want to see a 200 million isk skiff be able to tank multiple gank fitted tornados.

What is this? People lacking understanding of game mechanics arguing in favour of modifieing said mechanics? I must be in general discussion.

You ask me? From my point of view, suicide ganking is stupid and invantile behavior...

...but if people can't help the urge to do it, they should pay for it, simple as that.



The reason why the urge is there is because of the stupid amount of freedom -10 toons have in high security space. if gankers had to rat there sec status back up to a positive level befoer being able to hop through gates, ganking would decrease substantially.

Try dawdling on a hisec gate in a system for which your sec-status is too low to travel un-restricted.

Yes, the faction-piggies very helpfully web you right into warp, if you're already aligning/warping, but if you're not, then they next point you, after which, rest assured, they will make very quick work of you.

Also, any player can attack you -- and if you're below -5.00 security status, then they can also pod-kill you with impunity -- with the NPC police on their side.

Lies. You never forget how to gank & you clearly want highsec to be safe against people with negative sec.

THAT I can agree with.

I never asked for "save zones"... I also don't afk-mine, though.

There is indeed something wrong with the fitting options for mining barges and exumers.

When a 300 million ISK ship can be killed by a 1 million ISK gank ship piloted by a new character, something is indeed wrong.
When someone sneezes in the general direction of a mining barge and it explodes, something is indeed wrong.


Because all ships should be balanced with untanked stats in mind.

Completely eliminating the option for travel, even with heavy consequences/restrictions, as a consequence of non-consensual PvP in a game whose core ethos is based on non-consequential PvP, is not compromise.

It's completely breaking the sandbox.

This is not my only "toon," (LOL! Freakin' WoW-kiddieUgh) and I've...errrm..."accidentally'ed" a few miners in my time, as well, as well as been blinky-blinky on numerous occasions.

Outlaws already have very little freedom in hisec, and that Orca with those blinky-blinky pods around it waiting for their ships to be pooped out are not hard to probe down.

There is: the standard session change timer that everyone else has to deal with.

You didn't really manage to explain why -10s need to be restricted in any way. So, why?

Namecalling... classy... but I'll play along.

Since the barge changes where announced, there has been an uproar throughout the community stating two things:

- Mining barges shouldn't be buffed on the defense side, cause it would be harder (as in: more expensive) to gank highsec miners in great numbers.

- Mining barges shouldn't be buffed on the efficiency side, cause it would be unfair to all the "highrisk" lowsec/0.0 folk... incomewise.

ALL the complains I read had a finencial component (balancing)... or just came from b*tt hurt gankers.


It has nothing to do with balancing. The people complaining about money are the same ones trying to keep the ability to get paid insurance money after being nuked by concord. the rest are just butt hurt barges are harder to kill now, as it has been said to many times to count i'll throw it out there again. The people killing you over and over are not doing it to MAKE money, they are SPENDING money so they can have fun blowing you up. The price complaining is about the prices of PVP boats which is ironically caused by there being less miners creating fewer ships Shocked As far as the buff goes meh, buff them or not the only guys it really effects are highsec miners cause any miner in null with half a brain fits his tank first or dies horribly to belt rats.

You've made it pretty clear several times over that you haven't been playing as long as you're trying to make out.

would you rather have the ability to solo gank a skiff in a brutix in exchange for having to have positive sec status?

or would you rather have the freedom you do now, and have to bring multiple tornados to gank the same skiff?
