This would fit right in.


because no null corps set 100% tax rates during times they want/force you to do something else? right?

The only place you should lose a pod is in null. With lowsec and highsec you should be spamming the warp button right before your ship explodes. The only exception to this is if you run into a smartbombing pilot.

... which is not uncommon on the popular high-sec/low-sec border gates.

(I lost a pod to a smartbombing Rokh in Kinakka very recently and took part in some very successful smartbombing camps in Amamake when I lived there, maybe these experiences cause me to overestimate the prevalence of smartbombing camps)

I agree, losing a 5mil isk fitted frigate is not an issue, it's losing 50mil in implants that would hurt. In hindsight I almost wish I hadn't bought the implants, without them I would certainly be taking more risks with a high probability of failure, I would also be considering an early move to nullsec and offensive pvp, but as it stands I've become very accustomed to the faster training of high level skills and I don't want to risk that more than I have to.


Have you ever considered jump clones?

Oh I undocked all right, I hunted down people on D-scan but everyone was posed up...

I stood by gates, I looked around the stations.



Nothing... Nobody... 4:30 AM disapointment...

This sort of thing is exactly what I'm talking about. If you're willing to look at what you can learn from a loss and from the guy who killed you rather than rage about it then you'll have no issues in lowsec.

You do realize that there is a bell curve of psych profiles about this.

Guy A gets ganked, concentrates on the rush of combat, and figuring out what he could have done better.

Guy B gets ganked, concentrates on the rush of negative feelings, and goes "screw that - that wasn't fun".

Then there is the whole gamut of people in between...

THAT is what is really being discussed here.

Well, I recently wrote a blog on my Alliance's crappy blog (check my sig) on what I'd like to see done to lowsec (specifically non-FW lowsec), considering I live there and have been living there for a long time.

Can't wait to dual box my Dust toon and EVE toon on the same machine!

We don't. Some of our allies may. I have no clue. I've ratted through strategic ops in the past because I was broke.

It's happened maybe once ever since I joined corp, and that was when people were ratting on the complete other side of the galaxy during an announced op.

I think IRC does that. Ever since the drones have bounties, anyway.

I just started that, only to disagree right away, I skimmed the rest, and it just seem over complicated.

I started messing in low to get better returns on PI and exploration, and now I love lowsec. If they increase profits for any more activities more carebears will try lowsec too, and anyone that likes it will stay for the cake, and the extra profits from whatever will just be the icing on it.

I want to add, I love the comments in reply to my post about 100% taxes in null, its not like its a huge deal, but it happens, and the original point stands, that it is no myth that most alliance force you to play there way or get out. Its just not for everyone, just as highsec carebearing isn't. I don't believe Goonswarm fits the bill as most alliances. =P All hail the multidimensional super zerg of death and destruction!

You love the replies that told you that as far as the CFC is concerned, that's exceedingly rare?

Yes.
None is "happy" to loose in game ships and assets. However players living it as such a traumatic and negative feeling in real life should be simply stay in high-sec.
What is wrong is willing to shape the whole gameplay and game mechanics on their whiney feelings.

Even because for the Guy B in your example will never be enough, they will not be happy until they will have a PvP ON/OFF flag to activate, so they will be finally able to avoid any interaction with other players and after this they will quit the game anyway.

Myth #1. You will not be judged by the amount of time you play.
Myth #2. You will not have a value placed on you in regard to how many fleets you're active in.
Myth #3. Any alliance worth its salt wont bounce you for #1 & 2.
Be sure and start the thread with the facts straight.

If Goons were around when God said, "Let there be light" they'd have called the light gay, and plunged the universe back into darkness by squatting their nutsacks over it.
