Come on people.

He is just trying to get a ship reimbursement from you guys.

Personally I like it when my (cheapo) ship gets blown up because it means I am a part of the awesomeness called EVE.


This guy also posted on C&P and stated that there was a bounty on a scammer for people to collect, which i believe means that he was scammed himself, and he threatened never to play this game and never re-subscribe ever again.

Just saying,

But they DO attack without provocation if you go to any Jove Observatory.
Unless system scanning is seen as an act of aggression.

There should be some kind of recourse to get CONCORD to clear em out when they become mean to newbies :(
I want vengeance, and then I learned they just infinitely spawn if you attack them :( :(

Sorry for the loss dude...

I have a whole bunch of lessons that cost me a whole bunch of ISK.

My only advice here is that I would NEVER initiate combat with a Mackinaw. A Skiff, sure, it's tough as nails, a Mac? No way in heck. If they come to me and they are standard NPC's, I'd happily have a drone chew on them. If they are weird sounding NPC's that don't have (insert pirate name here) in front of them, I'd leave them alone and GHOD (Get the Heck Out of Dodge).

It's true, it's a misnomer that HiSec is safe. It is not, and you should be practicing your bail out maneuvers regularly with about anything but a Procurer/Skiff which can usually take a pounding long enough (if Fit correctly) for Concord to arrive and bail you out -AGAINST PLAYERS-. Concord doesn't do garbage against NPC's unless they are right next to them (from what I understand, I've never seen Concord engage NPC's at all).

Tough lesson to learn. You should also have some flight support from your corp mates when flying a Mackinaw.

I mean, come on - you aggressively initiated combat against these otherwise passive otherworldly creatures, and then complain when they kick your arse?



Perhaps his arse was not prepared for a swift kick?

I guess not...but perhaps some of your marvellous marijuana would've prepared him?


In any event, the OP has revealed himself to be a horrible homophobe and bigot, and most certainly deserves all that has been inflicted on him (and will undoubtedly be visited upon him in response to his nastiness).

My marvellous marijuana is not to be shared with bigoted homephobes. It has standards damnit! Also I smoked it all so theres that...

Today was a crazy day. I thought i was safe in high sec more or less, of course there are gankers everywhere but i felt alright overall. Went to a 0.8 system which had 4 people in local, i was mining and i came across about 5 or 6 red targets in the vicinity, i set my two drones against them and before i knew it they were dealing 200 damage per second to my mackinaw, i tried to warp out but only managed to warp away in my pod, lost my $200 million ship. Sucks that the game does this to you in high sec, this should only be in null or low sec, but anyways this is what happened to me today. They were circadian seekers that killed me.


the day I bought my first Mackinaw there was an incursion in my system and since I didnt know what that was I was eager to mine in my new ship.
lost her to sansha rats, only had ship for 10 minutes...

In a year you will be laughing at your loss!

Take it easy on the OP. He's obviously struggling with his own homosexual proclivities. If we could show him the way to loving himself for who he is then he can stop acting out at others and projecting his feelings onto others.

Seems like you learned a valuable lesson. 200 million lesson, but still something you won't do again!

Maybe someone else's pain will help you feel better. After killing seekers, they called in a named drifter which popped my Gila. Thinking I was some sort of Johnny Badace, I went and got my Rattlesnake... then watched it get blamed in about ten seconds. My lesson was over 700mil. I can promise you, I will never do that again.

The even more interesting question:

Why does a character born in 2013 doesn't know the behavior of Circadian seekers and why the **** is he posting his High Sec whining drivel in the Newbro section of the forum?

Silly little troll.
What with the insignificant thing they call the character bazaar it really is impossible to tell how long the person at the keyboard has been in the game based solely on the birth date of the character. So I find myself turning your comments around and wondering how it is that a character born in 2014 does not know about the character bazaar.

If he did buy the character that just proves my point that selling skill points was a bad idea for the game. I'm sure CCP is making good money off of it but I mean bad for good playing mechanics of the game.

So then it would appear that what we have here is another case of a player coming from another MMO thinking that he can buy his way to glory by buying an high skill point character and "decking it out in purples" and going out and pwning. Then when the game hands his ass to him because he does not know what he is doing he comes here to cry about how the games not fair because he tried to buy his way to vitory and found there is not shortcut in this game.

I believe the original skill point system worked well and it allowed players to learn the game and grow with knowledge at about the same rate that their character grew with skill points. Now we are just going to see more new players spending lots of real life money trying to shortcut their way to the top and them more forum tears and rage quitting when it does not work.
