EVE General Discussion

A game I used to play a long time back dealt with players killing other players in a pretty decent way.
Maybe something along those lines could be integrated into eve.

If anyone ganks anyone in high sec they flash red to everyone for a set amount of time (not just the player and his corporation)
Anyone below a certain sec status in high sec also flashes red to everyone regardless of if they are in a ship or pod until they are above the required sec status

Might make things alot more fun in high sec and harder for the gankers too rather than having to wait for CONCORD to eventually show up

Obviously anyone targetting/popping someone thats flashing red would recieve no drop in sec status.

Just some thoughts on it anyway

won't work at all: 2 minutes of SD timer is enough for any ganker

TO the OP and all the other 'suicide ganking should be nerfed' people:

Obviously you are idiots. WHY? because you are obviously performing some action that is presenting yourself as a target to being ganked. ITS NOT THE GANKERS THAT ARE THE PROBLEM, IT IS YOU.
Understand this.

Travel:
If you decide to travel with valuable cargo in an untanked ship then YOU are the one making the wrong decision, not the person that is going to blast you to bits. Solution: fly an appropriate ship; divide the cargo and do multiple runs; set up a courier contract; dont fly through low sec etc etc. There are many solutions and many options for travelling. Lots of people do this and never get ganked, if you are getting ganked you are doing it wrong.

Mining:
If you decide to repeatedly mine in gallente ice space while goons are actively and widely publicising their ganking interdiction then YOU are making the wrong decision. Here is an idea, mine another type of ice, sell it then buy gallente ice products with the isk. Infact make isk in the zillion other ways you can make isk in this game and buy your gallente ice products. To repeatedly go and mine in systems with active gankers is just ********. To do it in a totally untanked barge even more so. The cost of your barge could have bought lots of ice, the time spent mining elsewhere would have bought lots of ice, running missions, complexes, incursions, market trading holy **** so many ways to make isk to buy your **** instead of directly mining it. Its not the gankers or the system that is the problem IT IS YOUR POOR CHOICES.

Just use your farking brain. If i get in a shiny ship and go unscouted into 0.0 and get blown up is it my fault or the people camping the gates? Do i repeatedly go jumping through that gate losing ships then come crying on the forums to nerf gate camping or bubbles, NO I DONT because im NOT A ******* IDIOT. BUT you ******* repeatedly get your **** blown up by your own stupid actions and come crying rivers of tears wanting the game changed. A final word to you is get ****** you ******* fuckheads.

and there you go.

With the emergence of the Fuhrer the hatred for the mining peoples is ever escalating.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Outside the game, certainty of punishment against real life gankers is pathetic when compared to eve. Just ask your local PD how many drive by shootings they solved in the hood. If you say the hood is "low sec" the same can be applied to your posh upscale neighborhood. It may have a "ganker" punishment rate higher but not at Eve levels.

Eve is unrealistic.

Certainty of punishment by concord is 100 percent. The ganker will be destroyed for destroying your ship.

If you utilize EVERY precaution you can lower your chances of being a victim. When you get lazy you make it easier for the ganker and have no one to blame but yourself. Being a "hard" target is what Eve is all about...no?

Fly safe.

To the OP: You did know that all responses would be flames right. I hate to see these kinds of posts on the forums because as a hi-sec miner myself, I know it only adds fuel and incentive for those that hunt us. And, I dislike getting lumped into the image of terrified "carebears" crying for unfettered safety.

You know how a cat will freak and leap 10 feet if you mange to sneak up on it. Well, that's why I mine in hi-sec and avoid PvP. I'm that cat. The encounter is usually over by the time I find my mouse coursor again. And I love that rush!!! I DO NOT want to lose the anticipation and preparation that comes from knowing that "they" may come any moment and will eventually come to pop my ship.

I actually enjoy the decompression and tranquility that comes from mining, especially in an operation. However, without the knowledge that I'm just a little bunny in woods filled with wolves it would all become soul suckingly boring very quickly.

Train skills to survive
Tank your boat
Pay attention to what is going on around you
Make bots look more attractive than you
Be paranoid
Evaluate your mistakes when they get you and do better next time
Have fun, if you are not, why are you paying for it?

Beyond that, I'm afraid I have to agree with Decimus...

GUYS STOP!
My shoes are getting wet from all the tears.

o fer the sake of tears, TANK YOUR DANG BOAT! I've had three gank attempts on me in each case I turned on my active tank (gallente) and watched concord blow them to kingdom come. I have never understood why suicide ganking even worked with a COMPETENT PILOT. If you play the game stupid stupid is gonna happen.

Try to fit a MEDIUM shield extender on a MEDIUM size mining bark hull (Retriver).
Try to fit a CAPITAL repair system on a CAPTIAL industrial ship (Orca).
Try to creat a fit, where you do NOT gimp your job effectivnes (mining) by 50%.

And do it all WITHOUT billions of Officer or Deadspace equip but only using T2!



And while you try it allways remember: if you use JUST a medium extender on a normal cruiser ... you get flamed to oblivion from all this gank trolls!
