Crime & Punishment

I have 7 and will sell them for 100 mil :D (not really)

I just docked my Hulk and it's tanked, but if someone wants it dead in eve it can die no matter what the ship.

Let me hand your little hand through this:

Untanked Orca has 50k HP.

Can a Hulk or Covetor achieve a 50k HP tank? If not, then tanking them is pointless since, as proven in my links, it will still explode.

Thank you. *pats you on the head* I hope this has been an informative interaction for you.

Also, back in March this guy http://eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=12826147 got killed by a single destroyer. By your logic that destroyer must have had 60k alpha.

Hmmm... I am a miner, and well I can say - YOU ARE DOING EVE WRONG... and this is prob not the game for you if this makes you rage quit.

1. you should not be stuck in one ISKcome string - that makes you vulnerable to events like this. - SO, deversify.
2. you should not be flying a ship you cannot afford to replace, that is rather silly... if you must mine, IF you know Hulkageddon is on, then use Covetors and Indies... they have no tank, but your complain is you can't tank the damage anyway, so use the cheaper ones and put 10 of them in the hangar.
3. you could know your local belts and area, your locals well enough to - 1 watch local for new faces (red ones), to have SS, to have your OV set for things like scan probes (used a ref points), etc... you should know the ganker, to understand the ganker is to defeat the ganker, or at least to give them a case of ganker-sores...har har.
4. Whaaaa... this is kind of pointless bitching... EVE is a game, I have lost a Hulk to Sansha's - my only loss... but hey. that coffee was calling and the other was a Maller, oddly same coffe, same pirates. But that is my stupidity, but I have never lost a ship to a live Player, becaue unlike NPCs which I often forget about silly little things, I know how to deal with Gankers and live players, because I am aware of my situation and risks... NPCs tend to be something you can forget about in some way and die in stupid ways...lol... but I did what you should do, I said, meh... well that was a hulk with T2 rigs... get another one and fit it out and head back in to the work.

So, not so say it but I know it sucks to get ganked, but it's just a game, it's just pixels, it's what you make of it, and if your not willing to fly mostly naked and unarmed in EVE, you should consider another career or game.

Mining is EVE is about the most fun to me because while my opponents have big guns and such, I at best have 5 Hammer IIs with me and not much of a tank even at best 19K maybe, I have crap for mobility and I spend alot of time sitting in the same space... you have to have a HUGE SET to be a miner in EVE and do it right... get a pair and then get mining.

PvP =!= suicide ganking.

You tried so hard to score a hit using a witty one-liner that it saddens me to see you fail like you just did.

See, the irony is, you pointed to several cases where people were shot by sustained damage from several ships that were not suicide gankers and tried to use that as proof that tanking won't protect you from suicide ganking. So, it gets down to this. Do you have a point to make or are you just dancing around pretending to be smarter than you really are? I mean, there can only be so many posts you make full of blatant inaccuracies before you run out right?

The point I made with that KM posted above remains the same. A single destroyer is still capable of doing enough damage to kill an Orca, tanked or not. I wait your next whine.

I could destroy your Ferrari with a Kia.

And yet you still boast about skill points like it means something beyond 'I can fly some extra ships'. People might stop treating you like a faceless shitposting alt if you actually did something to prove you arent one and I certainly dont see any of that yet.


Oh and by the way SP is nothing, experience is everything. Feel free to look my character up any time you like, unlike you I dont feel the need to hide what I've done.

But if not for fame and glory, why bother to play a game like this in the first place?

How much more defense do they need, exactly? If you double their EHP potential, gankers will need to use 6 destroyers instead of 3. If you triple it, then they will need to use 9 destroyers. Even 9 destroyers, with full T2 gear, still cost under a hundred million.

You can nerf destroyers back to what they were before the last update, but people will just drop a few more million on cruiser hulls. Should we nerf cruisers too, then? Or should we give exhumers 80,000 EHP tanks, just so carebears can mine in peace? Why is player discretion not a viable tool for the carebears to achieve safety? Situational awareness alone can mitigate the majority of gank attempts.
