I did, have seen you at the sun and doing your docking undocking games infront of the station, shot 2 bombs at you... just lucky you warped out before your hauler blowup... hit 30 drake screaming in fear

lucky the game mechanics do everything to protect you guys... you sure love safety... you only get killed 20 times a year, just flying in the middle of your fleets... funny

a real badass risktaker we got here

the problem is local, because of local you have two players not beeing able to play the game

No harry, the problem is you.

You come into system in a cloaked ship, go afk, and wonder why people are not trying to fight you.

If you want a fight, bring a combat ship (not a gank ship) and sit 50k off the gate. You might just find that barge undocks in a more appropriate boat and decides to entertain you.

I see where you are going astray.

You think ganking a hauler is the same as people coming out to fight you.

it is the most difficult part shooting goon haulers, you have no clue how to do it, got no clue how many ships jump back and forth... you got no clue of soloing, just scared like the others

shooting down ships of the biggest alliance out there, is not your business, how should you know anything

you would die at the first gate

Agreeing with OP post: Remove that god damn local! Or make these rich alliances PAY for that Local (Intel) Service. You know, communication node engineers and adminstration has to be payed aswell ....
Want local badly for your miner? Rent it! System not so important? Leave Local closed, but don't wonder that your scout suddenly failed to do SOMETHING to get that precious intel.

[u]Things that would make EVE better:[/u] NRDS - Remove Local - Balance Cloak - Sov-Mechanic Changes - Less QQ

you probably have no clue about bombing undocking haulers, but sure feel like an expert because you did read about it

you guys on the forums are all the same, you know about the game from reading, not from playing

First gate? If you mean EC-, I did lose 800 million worth of stuff there this weekend. But somehow I don't think that's relevant to my solo abilities.

If there's so many ships jumping back and forth, it should be plenty easy for you to kill some at will. Yet you fail bombing runs. Care to tell us how?

You have some serious issues Harry. You consider killing poorly piloted shitfit haulers of the "biggest swarm of bads" this game has to offer as elite pvp.

Honest well intentioned advice here. You should go do some faction warfare. You would have far more fun at that. You also might learn how to actually fly a ship and have real fights while at it.

...I know, I will be called a clueless carebear for that, but I agree.

I never liked the concept of "local"... always thought that gathering intel (one of the most important assets in any conflict) should be the players job, not the games. Think about it: Let's say we reduce the information one gets when entering a system to what she can scan or otherwise obtain before hand? What if the only direct communication possible would be between ships or within fleets, through encrypted (and therefore hackable) channels? What if the only other way to communicate within a system would be though short, capacitor using comm bursts that give away ones location?

Lets put in undodgeable taxes for local service in high sec while we're at it. And Concord. And Faction Police. And free station services.

local is **** and nobody wants it except some crazy stalkers who want to talk **** all day long to the people, if i want to talk its my decision, there are so many disadvantages local brings to the game its insane...

just weardos like that chatbox, new gamers out there they don't want that, if i want to be not visible there, I should have the option

people don't want to be visible to everybody

its extremely disturbing

Then how did you miss not once, but twice?

Who said I just F1? I spent most of my EvE time in a wormhole in engagements with less than 10 players per side. Why do you presume so much about me when you clearly don't have a clue? Since when does flying logistics in any size of fleet count as an F1 monkey?

Have you actually tried being an F1 monkey before Harry? (Note how I'm asking you, not presuming like an angry asshat)

I know about bombing an undocking anything, not just a hauler.

I know not to expose myself and waste my ammo on something that's impossible to hit if the target has an IQ over 50.
