EVE General Discussion

Did you guys know that you can quote someone without having to include the "whole wall of text" that they are quoting?

Looks like you're trying to get the thread closed to me.

Well, some of these players are just...well horrible.

I was using my blockade runner and saw a macherial sitting on the in gate in Uedama as I jumped into Sivala. I also saw a freighter on the Uedama gate in Sivala, so I thought, "I'll convo him and warn him." So I started to convo and nothing, then I get a notification that he had blocked me.

Some players are so terrible you just can't help them...in their hubris they beg to be ganked.

Yes, I'm sure people undocking in industrials or shuttles in trade hubs would love to give the pirates camping stations an extra 10-30 seconds to target, scan, and then blap them.



Um, most gankers are already perma free to shoot.



You don't remember rage quitting here?

Yes, they are hunted by FACPO, which is why they sit in station and only fly fast aligning ships most of the time. IIRC they have about 20 seconds until FACPO shows up and other 10 until they get shot up. Would you like to see FACPO removed so gankers stay in space more?

Edit.
Actually now that I think about forcing pod only docking would not get them out of stations as intended so scrap that.

The 10 second undock penalty with removal of faction police would still be better.

Also I would amend my idea to only have 10 warp cool down on anything other than a pod, since I could foresee a -10 player dock in Jita only to be podded over and over again on undock.

What your going to argue now that being able to bump people for an unlimited amount of time is a good mechanic?

I know your a carebear but come on. Bumping needs a limited time and that will make you carebear gankers come out of hiding more.

Criminals are given warnings and chased by FACPO when they enter certain systems, but I have always wondered why docking rights for those criminals are not pulled by the 4 factions as well. Criminals or other gankers would not be able to easily reship or hide while their timers are running down.

With the introduction of citadels, criminals can now use an alt to install citadels and have docking rights to those, but then gankers or criminals would have something to lose because the alt corp could be war dec'd. Make the game a little more interesting and give the criminals something to protect or lose, while they also cause havoc in high sec. A sec status of -10 means nothing and does not have any real restrictions that can't easily be bypassed. Isn't this what is EVE is about, Risk vs Reward?

I do find it ironic that gankers complain High sec is too safe, all the while their mains are sitting in the safety of Null sec running endless combat anoms and mining fresh ore anoms every 1/2 hour after depletion. When I lived in Null, there were days that would go by without seeing a neutral come through the pocket, while making about 150 mil/hr running Rock Havens. Having lived in all sectors, except wh, Null sec by far is the safest space in EVE, while High sec is the most dangerous and Low sec is easily the most fun.

Have you considered that :

1. PEOPLE made nulsec safe over time by adjusting their strategy, and using organization to counter threats.
2. This is EXACTLY what the pro-pvp guys are saying should happen in HiSec, rather than complaining the game should change to make you safer.

You made this point quite clearly with your description of how safe nul is. Why is it you think people can organize to limit risk in the most dangerous part of the game (mechanic wise) but shouldn't have to do the same when faced with a threat in Hi-Sec where they have the added bonus of security assistance from Concord etc?

Genuine question because i feel this point gets ignored time and time again.

Yes Mark please continue to troll yourself. It's like you think nobody notices you shift the goalposts every time someone rails you like a cheap floozy..
