These space pheasants, always think they're c**k of the walk, but when it comes down to it, they're featherweights.
( Yeah, this is now a pun thread.)
Edit: Yes, the term for a male pheasant is blocked, CCP why you ruin my terrible puns!)

I thought they used stabbers and catalysts? What?

Money at its root is a form of rationing. When the richest 85 people have as much wealth as the poorest 3.5 billion (50% of humanity) it is clear where the source of poverty is. http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jan/20/trickle-down-economics-broken-promise-richest-85

Welcome to EVE Online, the land of harassment.

If you want to play Kitty Online search somewhere else. This is what makes EVE different.

You can always combat back, it is really easy just organize your corp friends, purchase cheap frigates and have fun. And if you are totally against the idea of PVPing you can always hire a mercenary corp.

And if large alliances are menacing you, maybe you can join them and mine for them.

I mean this is an alive universe. Adapt or die!

easy, let the miners and indy also sell ganking permits.
Just sell every cat for 12mil , every trashers for 15mil and every nado for 110mil.
Make a stupied website about it, write a couple pages of worthless **** and done.

Dream on, you'll find a lot of the gankers are running their own mining and industrial operations, they'd be silly not to tbh as there's a ready market for both stuff that gets ganked and stuff to do the ganking with.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

After three years you should know this ...

CCP has NPC's seed the market with minerals ... So the mineral market is already a watered down joke ...

As an industrialist, you not only have to compete with the player bots, but also CCP bots ...

I would love to see a true sandbox situation where the price of mineral and ships went through the roof as suicide gankers had their fun ... then suicide gankers would be put out of business ... just like I am.

The big joke on the miners is that the suicide gankers blame the legitimate miners for unfavorable mineral prices, when its CCp screwing them over before the jihadits ever gets to the miner ...

My advice .. dont go into industry .. do SUICIDE GANKING ... CCP makes it easy

Citation needed, CCP have been dialling down the NPC orders for the last couple of years, and I've never seen a sell order for minerals or ores with a >90 day lifespan.

Tinfoil much?

Actually ...

See, i'm writing a game and i have realised that it's actually a PITA to write decent AI,
so i thought about another approach. Basically, i will play the game and record
what i do and then use that as templates for AI ... which is **** easy to do.

In most cases, it's enough to simply play the recording and have a bit of action/reaction stuff built in.


In EvE it's the same. Do you REALLY think all these people you see are actual people ?

WHY DO YOU THINK SO MANY SYSTEMS IN HIGHSEC ARE DEAD SILENT,
ALTHOUGH THERE ARE 10-30 PEOPLE IN THEM ???

It's **** easy to simply record what some players do and then replay it. It's also easily avoidable
that people recognize that it's actually just an NPC disguised as a player, by having them log out
or instantly warp off as soon as a threat emerges, etc etc.


Dude ... wake up.

Seriously.

He was ranting about this in S&I a day or two ago. He thinks it's the reason that mining is bad. It's pretty funny, and nobody bothered to correct him.

So the OP logged off about 20 minutes before the war started and has not logged in since.

He has however logged in with the alts that he kicked out of corp mining.

Great way to make to make stand.

I don't believe this for a minute.

Space Pheasants are a proud and noble creature credited with bringing down the French Empire.

Now i have played eve for about three years so im not a newbie. I have noticed that here recently WE MINERS are now being harassed by ppl who think we need a permit to mine. These ppl have forgot that if it was not for us MINERS eve wouldnt be able to stand. We mine, we build, and we put things on market for others to buy in which we make a pretty good profit off of and now we are being asked to pay for a permit. Yes i know that they say that its only 10M per character but if we give into this my friends and fellow miners we are opening up for a lot more to start happening. Look at history the governments that have caused wars within their own countries have taken little by little from their own ppl until finally their ppl had enough and its the same case here in eve if we allow them to get away for this then later on down the road they are going to keep asking for more and more and til there is nothing left to give.

So what i am asking is until these ppl that think they need to govern use pull back and stop this non-sense we raise the prices is eve's market and hold them high. If we do this it will open eve back up to free mining like it should be.

thank you for your participation

To the OP (and other miners).

Escape the clutches of the Order and mine in the free frontier of low sec space. Miners were once the trailblazers of civilisation, exploring and prospecting every dark corner for precious ore. Honour your forefathers and leave the confines of high sec. Miners belong in the frontier.
