You're specifically going out looking for fights. Why would you consider more people being able to shoot you a bad thing?

if your intent is to find a fight and not be a ****.. try using the dueling mechanic.

Generally, to get someone to agress you in a "flipping" situation, you need to be in a small ship. (what I've found through experience) So, if I'm in a belt and flip a can in a frig and there are one to two more hulks there, their drones would easily **** me if I stayed or force me to leave.

Your actions now have consequence, stealing stuff in a world where everybody has guns strapped to their mode of transportation means that you get shot at, deal with it.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

it's annoying in the sense that you get flagged to *EVERYONE*.

Though, it's reminiscent of the old mechanic where you got flagged to everyone in the gang if you canflipped (which made sense).

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

So...Your problem is that... miners mine in groups for mutual protection? Or that they're intelligent enough to not shoot larger ships?

Neither of those things sounds like a problem.

Don't like the way they are "softening" up the game. Makes me not want to play it. Seems to me it's harder for casual pvp trouble to happen when you are solo. Yes, I could go to lowsec/nullsec and pvp, but that's only really viable with a group. Otherwise I'll just be flushing isk and adding losses. Thoughts?

They're softening up the game because

-You suck at solo PVP, and

-Because you have to actually use your head to get to blow up expensive, defenseless mining ships.

I'm not a noob and have been part of lowsec/nullsec running corp before. Just doesn't seem like there is much fun to be had in high sec anymore. And why not pick on the noobs? We all went through it when we started. I got flipped and i attacked and lost my ship. That's part of the game.

I can't help but point out that the crux of your argument is that the "noobs" are killing you with their drones.

Why even post things on the forums when you can't get a mature debate about it? I don't suck at solo PvP. I'm actually very successful. Now, instead of talking about the topic I posted I have to defend my play style/abilities. C'mon dude.

'cos it's dull and ancillary to the game, like all the rubbish scams. only noobs and nubs fall for it and wails of eve is dying when they made it have furthewr consequences are ludicrous.

watch the eve is easy vids, they show you how to roam in null solo. high sec is and will always be dull.

Love the "Best MMO community" support on this. Just bashing on me. One guy offered a solution. (after he bashed on me) Thanks guys. Thanks for the mentoring and support.
