EVE New Citizens Q&A

So I've occasionally heard of corporations that simply don't allow miners to mine in certain .5 systems and actively gank people who try to mine 'their' system. Anyone know where/which corporations actively do this? I've never encountered them in game, probably because I never ever mine. But I'd like to fit out a tanky barge and see what kind of fun I can have. On my main of course.

Thanks for the info. Unlike some people this was actually helpful.

If you are in a system and being bothered, simply move. Especially get out of crowded Caldari space.

I've not run into these extortionists at all.

I personally target systems for mining that have less people in local than asteroid belts.

Anyway, back to the topic. Many player organizations have indeed laid claim to highsec systems and attacked anyone who disputed their claim with wardecs and suicide ganking. It's a pretty old tradition in this game, and has been done with varying degrees of success in different times and places. *Snip* Removed reply to a deleted post. ISD Ezwal.

Can any organization really own a system in highsec? No. Can they roleplay as if they do? Yes. Can they be really good, really big, and reasonably organized, to the point where they can blap pretty much anyone who opposes them in the space they claim? Absolutely.*Snip* Please refrain from recruitment in EvE New Citizens Q&A. ISD Ezwal.

Any new player who actually takes the time to read these forums is already intelligent enough to figure out that player corps can't technically claim ownership of a highsec system or belt. Because if they can navigate their way through the net to find the forums, they could just as easily google how highsec works.

I fully agree.

I have removed some rule breaking posts and those quoting them. As always I let some edge cases stay.
Please people, keep it on topic and above all civil!
