CCP can you please make the can flipping in highsec as it was few years ago?

I know I can still take someones can in highsec, but I really don't want to be a target for everyone in eve for 15 mins once I do that.

It used to be fun back then doing this. Even those who lost their cans enjoyed hunting the can flippers. Not to mention the smack talk and the other stuff.

This was in fact the best thing to do when I had nothing else going on in eve. But now can flipping is not so fun because of the strange aggro rules.

Confirming that you only want a mining barge to be able to shoot you back.

I too miss the old ways. But for other reasons. Can baiting was a nice little past time. Also after blapping some people, I ended up with pilots who wanted to learn and stuck around.

Yes that too.

I wonder why CCP never thought about this seriously before changing it. They literally made highsec boring for everyone other then miners and missioners with these high sec aggro rules.

Confirming, OP doesn't like getting shot at but likes destroying ships that the best thing they could do was blow up and a stupid time sink to sit in a belt waiting to explode....but now the OP doesn't like the fact that anyone can shoot back since there is now consequences to his actions since its not just the miner that can fight back, who probably rarely fought back. Irony, meet kettle....now OP gets a taste of what its like to be a "bad azz" with anyone who can attack them.

What's to stop you from doing it now? If you still win, you will still get those people that want to learn and stick around.

And you people say We just want to shoot helpless ships, at least we lose our ships doing our duty, you just want what we do with less sec status penalty ( as in none ) and more swagging ships to do it with. As much as i love the smell of can flip tears on a friday night this is not the path of righteousness, turn back brother!

Whimp.

add warp stabs


Align, steal can, warp-dock to station or safespot.

The very sun of heaven seemed distorted when viewed through the polarising miasma welling out from this sea-soaked perversion, and twisted menace and suspense lurked leeringly in those crazily elusive angles of carven rock where a second glance shewed concavity after the first shewed convexity.

Its not worth the effort to can flip these days. And for people like me who play with single character, risk is bit too much.

Under the old system, you stole from a miner's can, miner was able to attack you. Obviously this didn't happen often, but when the miner took their ore back, you could shoot them and suffer no penalty.

Confirming OP has yet to grow a pair. At least CODE. has the stones to operate at a sec status that allows everyone to shoot them. OP is merely afraid of PvP when there is even the remote chance he could lose, so he shiptoasts on forums to get his risk averse method of shooting mining barges back,

Ugh, now I need a shower. I feel so dirty after reading this thread.

The risk is too much for the risk averse? feature seems to be working brilliantly.

What you on about? Who is CODE? Why should I care about how they play? Besides if you have are so fearless why you want CCP to help you mine in highsec? Seems to me you are scared of higsec canflippers, but just don't want to admit about it.

Canflipping is not just about stealing ore. Perhaps you shouldn't talk about things you don't know?
