EVE General Discussion

same reason you get an insignificant fine or get chucked in the barracks with everything removed from your inventory but the lockpick you need to ironicquote blow this joint unironicquote and get back to slaying dragons rabbits et cetera

the reason is that a computer game and an actual jail have completely different design goals

This is a point I think a lot of people are missing in this thread. You can only draw so many real life parallels to criminal activity in the real world and in game since the consequences are far different for each. In Eve causing death and destruction is equivalent to a parking ticket.

It's more like people bring in RL comparisons to justify their beliefs and other show them how even in real life it doesn't work that way

Start your own thread rather than making a mess of other peoples.

If you have an idea, start a thread in Features and Ideas where it belongs. If it deserves it, which at the moment it does, it'll get a better class of ridicule.

If you want to be taken seriously, educate yourself in how the mechanic you're talking about works; how it's done, and what the counters to it are, of which there are a few, and how they work too.

Only then will you be taken seriously.

You are confused. The title of this thread is "has suicide ganking become a problem? Empty freighters...." The fact that a bumping exploit is being used to make it much easier to gank the freighters greatly magnifies the problem. Bringing that to light, and discussing the issue, is a key part of this thread.

I'm sorry if buffing highsec would impede you and your allies tear collection and spree of destruction, but I am quite familiar with the mechanic, and my crystal clear arguments have not been adequately answered by the suicide gankers. This is because they cannot be adequately answered, so their only recourse is to switch to trolling and personal attacks. It's not helping - the truth is coming out.

What bumping exploit?

What problem?

So how come your entire argument is based on something that doesn't happen in the game? How come you keep repeating the same incorrect claims and what is going on? How come you have yet to present anything that demonstrates that the game is not working as intended?

If you are familiar with the mechanics, why is everything you say about them wrong?

And wrong again....Three bumping machariels optimally fitted can make it 100% impossible for a freighter to warp off.

So when you say that you are familiar with the mechanics, what you actually mean is that you've heard something about the mechanics but have absolutely no idea what it is or how it works.

Because that is literally the only explanation for how you keep being 100% wrong about this in spite of having it explained to you a dozen times by now. Stop lying. it means you have no argument.

No, I'm asking about this supposed bump exploit you mentioned. What is it?

Nothing you've said has ever been even remotely right. For instance, 3 Machariels bumping a freighter does not make it impossible for the freighter to warp off. You are lying. You need to stop. You need to present some actual facts, not this on-going hallucination you're living in.

So we'll call that strike #2 for real this time. On to attempt #3 — GO!
This is your last attempt. If you fail to produce a factual argument this time, we can determine once and for all that you are absolutely clueless and completely incompetent as far as discussing anything related to bumping or ganking.

And since you have, as you already admitted, neither done this (which I have), nor had this done to you (which I have), you have nothing to back up that lie.

It can be easily, trivially avoided.

I've watched the bumping in action in Uedama. Three optimally fitted bumping Machariels can make it 100% impossible for a freighter to warp out. CODE literally does this every day, to say that it can be "easily...avoided" is nonsensical.
