I got ganked today in a .7 zone and was told it is illegal for me to mine in high sec without a permit. (according to the new order on some mining bumping site). Plz give me honest answers on how i should continue my solo mining career. Am i really not safe mining anywhere?

1. Stop mining
2. Run mission

Eve is a military economy, think about it.

Every day in every way I improve my skills and get better.

Why does this "code" do what they do? they are alienating an entire solo profession because why?

CODE. is a high-sec ganking alliance.

Anything CODE says is Role Play, and shouldn't be taken seriously.

So the answer is very simple, and you can absolutely continue solo play. You are not 'fully safe' anywhere, but you can take precautions to ensure that such a thing won't happen so often (if at all).

So, add the alliance "CODE." as a contact, and set them to -10.0. When they appear in Local, they'll have a red mark on their portrait, and you'll be able to see it, so you'll know what they're going to do. Dock up preemptively.

But the biggest thing you can do is don't be fully AFK.
Check your D-Scan every now and then, and browse Local when you feel like it for players with Negative Security Status (positive Security Status players can still gank you, but it's less likely. You always lose Security Status with Highsec ganks).

Getting a Procurer or a Skiff is also a good idea.

Thats the thing. I understand ganking experienced players who know better and know alot about this game but im pretty new. I mean, ive had this account for a few years, but ive only ever played for like 3 months. After they killed my ship, I have nothing.... I have like an ibis 10 jumps away but thats it... I had a mackinaw....

So, no, it is a sandbox game, you are able to do whatever you want, it is not illegal to mine in any part of New Eden.
People can of course kill you... Anywhere. So it's up to you to be prepared in advance, and predict the situation ahead.

You can 'be safe,' but don't think it is a given right.

It's a PVP game, people will PVP. It's also an MMO, meaning that other players will affect your attempts at solo play. Finally, the game has been out for 10 years, and it's been like this for 10 years, so that gives you an idea of the chances you may have to change the game towards more protection for mining, if that's what you're looking for.

OK, well, that's probably a bit expensive for me to replace for you. I can't say that I don't feel sorry for you, but EVE provides the tools to PVP anywhere, with whoever, whether they like it or not.

Treat it as a learning experience, because you can't not make mistakes.
Move onwards, I guess.

Tech I Mining Barge is fine, right? Big smile I don't... Really... Want to replace a Mackinaw.

Because they attack players in high security, their own security ratings get shot to -10, and as such the NPC Navies do hunt them when they enter the space where you are. So they don't have much time to check your age, check your history, check wtf you're doing, and so on. They just see a juicy target (mining ship) and they take it out.

Sorry but you don't get special status. Nobody does. I'm an alt, flying an empty shuttle worth only 10k credits, nothing in the cargo, I got killed. What was the point? Certainly nothing to do with me or my ship, they were just looking for kills and fun.

This is the game.

Taking things at face value here, I'm going to go out on a limb and say you could probably benefit from this.
Fly safe.

Retriever + Fit and Drones + Salvaging Skills are all waiting in game for you.
I also have an EVEmail there for you with additional information on the fit, and where better places to Mine may be.
