Crime & Punishment

lmao 2/10

I got an idea make a thread about something new and interesting not complete and utter ****!

Stopped reading around this part...

Don't worry, I'm here to teach you how to play.

A group of asterisks? I have no idea.

Don't worry, I'll still teach you how to play.

The hilarious thing about this game is that the level of scamming has made people so paranoid, they are in complete disbelief that someone is a genuine new player. I think I'm going to like this game.

The solution is to rise the insurance rates for mining vessles...very obviously miners work in a risky environment, sharp edges of roids, trigger happy belt scum,...every reasonable insurance company would consider to work in a cost effective way and adapt the rates to the risk of the insurent.

But wait! Me not hatez you little carebear!

Same could be done with suicide gankers.
As they obviously have a tremendous amount of "wear and tear" the insurance rates for gankers in high sec could be adapted to their losses to concord or faction police. In the end insurance will at one point be more expensive than what they actually could benefit.

how is a gank "safe" if you are guaranteed to lose your ship in it?

Quoting because highsec gankers are the only people who claim PVP status in eve.

The gambit of excuses for why i'm posting this is hilarious.

I'm not a miner. I've been playing not quite 2 weeks now and all of my skillpoints so far are in basic stuff and combat oriented skills.

This wasn't a troll, though I troll often, and this isn't an alt.

I'm a new player that is attracted to eve due to open pvp and lootable/punishable death in pvp.


But I'm not going to pretend that my gameplay is somehow dampened because if I kill someone in high sec space (which you CAN do, they aren't invuln or anything) that I will die?

Sandbox doesn't mean "here's absolutely zero npc influence" There aren't enough players to fill an entire galaxy. I see anywhere from 20-45k of people online which is a lot...not enough for one city on one planet but you want no npc influence in an entire galaxy? The game would be empty and dead.

UO had one shot guards and that certainly didn't take away from pvp and people didn't cry that npcs protecting people in a small section of the game (protecting in the form of punishment, not actually protecting) ruined the pvp experience.

The only "pvper" i could see crying about this is someone that can't win in actual combat. I don't care about morality of it, I don't care if the guy loses 5 years of mining work, but I'm not going to throw a tantrum and pretend the devs are out to wipe me off the map because I can't kill someone in what is essentially a police station without getting caught. You keep saying they are carebears for wanting no risk, but the minute there's risk for the pvper it's "the devs hate us"

I think it's amazing you can suicide gank, I'm not going to pretend that any npc interaction at all is unfair or ruins the game.

How immersive of a sandbox is it if one guy in a crappy ship can go into a center for galactic trade and pop people without police.

I think it's HILARIOUS that someone can feel "safe" and get their ship popped ANYWHERE. But telling me you think you should only be subject to whatever friends people can have online in their sector at any one moment? No, that's just dumb.
That's just a ganker looking for easy mode

I think you are missing something. May I suggest keeping marbles in a jar?

Professional suicide gankers couldn't give a toss about insurance.

Your assessment of "risk" is inaccurate. A suicide will always lose their ship - risk is 100%. There is also the risk of failure. The suicide ganker must decide whether the target's loot and the chance of failure are sufficient to out-weight this risk.

You'll find that whiners exist across all professions. They are people who find comfort in the ability to blame someone else for their short-comings.
