Missions & Complexes

The Omni tanks works fine, but it provides weaker resists and takes up extra slots compared to a tailored one. It's arguably worse on an armor tank, which looses out on damage mods, but can also slow you down if you're forced to warp out when you could have just spec'd for the damage.

You're at the station anyways, why not spend the extra 10 seconds changing the loadout?

I think the problem here is you are talking about current mechanics and the proposal is taking about possible NEW mechanics.

And the ship in a deep safe would not subject an invader to the proposed aggression mechanic since he/she is not in a mission deadspace pocket.

The game is now a gank game as nul sec (having taken over everything else) with the cooperation/instigation of CCP seeks new soft targets.











I'm out in a month.

Not to mention that Evelopedia page was created by a player, it's not an Official CCP created page thus it doesn't provide any proof that Ninja Salvaging is endorsed and advertised as an Official Career Path.

And the analogy about the Military not owning territory in foreign countries fails since Embassies and Consulates are 'owned' by their respective Governments, regardless of the country in which they are located. Invading and attacking those is an act of war. Same goes for the Diplomatic Motorcades that are en-route.

You clearly do not understand PLEX. CCP makes more money from PLEX than regular subscriptions.

It's a game! Notoriously short of definitions and rules Game! Implied, interpreted or probable definitions of what is considered fair or reasonable in a game that is tailored and defined by the group playing it, this is a recipe ripe for corruption since the group that earns the most from ganking gets to make the most ISK with the least risk.


Seriously? 5 bil to earn 60 mil an hour (.012% return), I have seen reports of 10 mil ship making 150 mil an hour in Nul (150% return), the reason the ships are blinged up in high sec is to make as little as 1 mil more ISK per hour. Of course I can see the argument of move to Nul 'make more spend less', but perhaps they average high sec player isn't interested in the politics of Blob Capital fights and becoming a pawn in the ludicrous financing of that play style.


This is to be expected in a Nerf High sec rant, but perhaps the problem in reversed, Nerf Nul it should not be possible to make 150% an hour just for showing up, after all that is your argument right, people making to much ISK?

Yeah... it is a game. Designed with rules and definitions by which we all fly. One of those is that salvage can be taken by anyone. It has always been this way. I'm not saying it should be this way, I'm saying that in keeping this way (for how many years now?), it is a tacit endorsement of the status quo. I'm merely burden shifting. The burden isn't on those who want to keep salvage as is, it is on those that want to change it, and so far the only argument provided is something akin to "but, it's not fair".



If you look closely you'll see the point whizzing past. My point is just simply that if you are going to hang out the game's largest carrot, expect some bites. The moment you undock in a 5 billion isk ship, you just became the single most profitable activity in EVE. I was simply pointing out that high sec is far from the gank fest it is being made out to be unless you are rich, dumb, or ballsy enough to undock in a 5 billion dollar ship. It becomes even more ludicrous when you realize that said ship can only marginally out perform a ship worth a fraction of its cost. That was taking a pretty asinine risk if you ask me.

Every other activity in the game comes with risk. Why should mission running be any different, especially since you can borderline do it afk with decent enough skills?



And no, that's not my argument. My argument is that there is little enough risk in High Sec that to want to keep the same profits and remove even that tiny, tiny bit of risk is silly.

Moreover, you understate (intentionally?) the isk potential in high sec. Without a corp backing you (as the "nullbears" have), high sec is arguably the best place to make isk (as evidenced by a 5 billion pleasure boat). If you were to some how quantify the risk involved anywhere else in the game, I would argue that it becomes the single most profitable experience in EVE for a solo player.

All evidence to the contrary, I could have sworn I just saw a couple pages of Titan kills in excess of a 100bill each, so somehow the lions share of wasted ISK in the game is spent on 10 hours of TiDi for a limited few.

you do realise we are playing eve and not wow right? I think you are playing the wrong game here. as cliche as it may sound I really do think you should go try wow, or maybe hello kitty online. the way you are describing things I think that those games will be more your speed/style.

I mean im sure there is nothing wrong with you as a person but it just seems like eve is too rough and tumble type of game. again im not saying you are a girl at all, or even that being a girl in itself is wrong (i love girls, even girls love girls) just that you are more girly in the traditional sense. theres nothing technically wrong with not having any balls either, figuratively speaking that is, just that you have to realize that you dont have any so you can move on to something where you will be more comfortable with your ball-less-ness. this will have the benifit of us not having to hear you cry like the little girl you are every time a pirate gets your panties into a twist.

I haven't seen anyone say "But it's not fair".

In high security, the current game mechanics pertaining to Risk v Reward is unbalanced and heavily skewed to favor Mission Invasion Thief's and Suicide Gankers.

That's a fact.
