Well since this post CCP has put in a 15 minute timer which means after a gank, you have to find something else to do for 15 minutes

Also no I don't have a Hulk, nor do mine, but its funny how even on "leet pvp" toons you always seen Mining 4 or some kind of indy skill which mean most people were mining at least a little when they started out, pretty sure you wouldn't appreciate getting curb stomped just starting out especially to guys that didn't even want to declare war first.

Ganking is probably the biggest in game activity that causes people to ragequit/unsub then the same people that were doing all the ganking will be the SAME ONES that say "EVE is dying!"Roll


Most characters before late 2010/early 2011 came with Mining 4 or so.

Our newbies use salvaging in that slot. Depending on various things, some rifters and thrashers have a salvager I equipped.

We gotta get something out of all those Tengus and Abaddons we kill. Or supercapitals~

But mining is becoming good again, still silly to put it on the main that you might move around and so on, thus alts.

I think ganking keeps people who can't handle EVE out. That is a good thing and should be encouraged.

Ganking has been around for almost since Eve was born, which was about 9 years ago. What makes you think CCP is going to just change their minds about it now especially when their gamemasters allow it to this day for as long as you lose your ship? They are not going to change it at all as destruction is the lifeblood of our economy.

In an age of ships with alpha it would be interesting to see what they can do.

I suppose, an INSTANT concord warping in and remote repping the party being attacked would save, say a freighter since a single tornado cant kill it. Imagine, in the 0.05s between the first and the last tornado firing, CONCORD sweeps in and reps the freighter for 1million shield, armor and hull. Success!

Hulks and the like probably would still have problems though. Maybe the next move would be invulnerability.

Balanced Invulnerability Field IIs? What about:
CONCORD Guaranteed Invulnerability Field II (works only in highsec)

Made purely from highsec-obtainable minerals and some highsec incursion drops, of course. Wouldn't want to rely on those evil nullseccers or moons or anything like that.

To all the Gankers out there listening to this forum thread the following is for you...

... the dog has hiccups, the dog has hiccups... ...the chicken is in a bikini, the chicken is in a bikini... ...G. Bush is a hampster, repeat G. Bush is a hampster.... That is all.

Remember kids, Eve is a game of consequences. Unless you're a ganker, then you just get a couple slaps on the hand and a wink. Smile

It's hardly the game's fault if people decide to void the consequences of other players.

I heartily endorse this product.

(Add to it, all stations refuse entry to criminals, and you've got a winner.)

It's indeed the game's fault when it allows itself to be circumvented.

We must accommodate the idiocracy.

The irony of this debate,
All the leetster PvP people never pointed out, the Hulk actually has more tank than a dps fit HAC.

Of course who uses HAC's?

I hate to break it to you OP. Risk was always there.. Gankers don't care about risk. For CCP to add new features to concord will only make it more chalenging for us. Not the reverse.

If Goons **** highsec. I'll be there for the free kills. Twisted and a few ganks of my own if the oppertunity strikes. Blink

I still think concord should be removed. If eve is to be a true sandbox type game.. Get rid of the police. Let players defend themselves.. Strong live.. Weak die..

Hear this ccp? Too many wow like games out there.. Eve should be true to the sandbox concept. Blink

I can confirm that this is definitely not a fix that is already in game.
