I actually came up with a very viable method for miners to tank their ships against bumpers, gankers and griefers.

I call it biomass tanking.

Oh god.

There's also tear mass tanking, where you weigh your ship down with so much QQ that you can't be bumped.

Oh god.

If you intend on AFK mining don't be lazy and either scan a grav spawn down or get a mission with roids in it, if not guess what El Jerko is gonna find the lazy miner in the belt sleeping at the wheel, I don't agree nor endorse childish behavior but take some precautions if you plan on AFK, as far as Ice mining don't just fly into ice belt at 0 fly to one of the spots AMONG several small ice roids then orbit close to roid it makes lining up for bumping more difficult. Anyway even im tired of repeating this stuff.Rolloh yeah if your orbiting then fit an AB 10MN I believe with passive fit you move at about 190.

You know the most ironic part of this whole thread? OP is probably just James315's alt trying to get more attention for his crappy bumping that nobody cares about.

You'll probably hire alt characters in alt merc corps from the same guys, at least chances are really high.

Or:

This is a bad scam attempt and some will get owned

In both cases Lol

Your right, you do need to do something about it.

Filing petitions though is not the answer, because they're not breaking the EULA.

When the bounty system hits, you need to get people to put bounties on them, hire bounty hunter and merc corps.
They'll get their just deserts, but you need to do it in game. No one is going to do it for you, unless you give them an incentive.

In game crimes require in game consequences. Stop whining and start gathering an army. Get to work.

This man offers sound advice, even as a "belligerent undesirable" I appreciate his advice although it remains to be seen if anyone will take it because it will involve parting with some of that hoarded ISK and hurt the holy ISK/hr balance.

If you haven't been personally harassed by the "New Order" you have most likely heard of them. They are bullies. I have tried speaking with them and filing petitions, it would seem that neither these "agents" or the GM's can be reasoned with. I have personally spoken with James 315 and can testify that he's not even as "compassionate" and "reasonable" as he makes himself seem in his stupid blog. He is a hateful man who despises miners on his own bigoted principle. He just can't stand the fact that we don't want to play with him, or his way, I think it stems from some kind of real life loneliness. In addition to that, it would seem that many changes are coming with the new expansion that may make it even harder to be left alone to mine in peace.

We cannot sit idly by while they ruin our game! Every petition filed is answered with a blow-off statement or this from his blog post

"Hello,

Bumping miners is not against the rules. If you keep your mining ship moving while you mine (by orbiting your target for example) then the bumper will probably miss you."

This is complete B&%% S&*#!

DEATH TO THE NEW ORDER!


1. You're a joke
2. Hiring mercs for this a joke
3. You're flying skills are a joke

Just like most of your type, you're all about words and no actions, Wardec this corp. Alternatively... learn to fly you ships, it's is SOOOO hard to bump a moving ship.

Again, ladies and gentlemen, we have another moron who beleives the game should be changed to sort them rather than them adapting with the current game mechanics...

Where does CCP find you ppl?

But don't worry there is an answer, log off, leave your mums basement and go outside. Then when you come back, simply download WoW and never come back.

Bottom line: the words "miners" and "fight" should never be used in a sentence together, it doesn't make any sense.Twisted

We have to fight against the bot-aspirant tendencies of many miners in the, new, "friendly" New Eden.

I'm glad I stopped trying to convince my friends to play. If I had to defend miner bumping as a sandbox activity I would be embarrassed.

Carry on though if that's your bag.



If one of my friends came to me and told me I could play this game without actually playing the game (afk) I would have to wonder what they were smoking.

That would be like being a professional sports player by sitting on the sidelines.
