EVE General Discussion

do that in lowsec where the worthwhile ore is and see what happens :P

WTF does that have to do with hi sec?


In a .7 belt you can kill the goddamn rats with 4 t1 drones. I know, I used to do it when mining in my barge.

VFK. Reds camp it all the time. People even get hotdropped in it because they're morons.

It isn't hard, come and camp it. If you bring enough people, we might even fight (but be prepared for some blob warfare )

Yeah it's the same in Null though. Rats simply aren't a threat. It's the other players that provide all the threat.

The difference is if I go AFK in highsec for 6 hours: I'll probably be fine.
If I go AFK in lowsec for 6 hours: I may be fine (Probably still fine, lowsec population is dead sadly).
If I go AFK in nullsec in deklein for 6 hours: It's a toss up on if we've pissed anyone off recently.

At one point when we were between wars I forgot to dock up and passed out. My drake sat of the station until an hour before downtime and got killed by a roaming gang. About 4 hours.

When we're actively fighting someone, or antagonizing them, or them us it's not unusual to have multiple gangs sweeping through at any given moment: So going AFK at all = death, usually quickly.

Rats have never killed a ship of mine that was setup to tank them, or had a proxy to tank them in this game. This includes incursion rats.

Or they could just evolve and not try to max their mining ships, so as to stop giving your alliance money.

As to the obama ad I haven't seen it. But as far as I know hasn't it always been the case in the USA if you were sick or injured and didn't have a HMO you might as well have jumped off a cliff.

Like your HMO's the Goonswarm are a business and Mittens is quite good at giving his members returns(I can't believe I said that).

Or would you prefer Medicare where everyone just automatically looses part of there pay as a tax to help protect suffering miners. Who are the reason they are getting shot in the first place.

Actually that makes mining in an Exhumer like smoking, you want to be able to be free to do what ever you want and then want someone else to foot the bill.

Lets not do this. Any minute now a dozen freepers are going to barrel down on us and say "European style social medicine won't work in the US because communism/mexicans/abortions/JESUS"

I mean I wouldn't want these forums to become uncivil or anything.

MOAR BUFFS

Hulk still being ganked, why u let them, need buff nao tia

It's a flawed FFA PvP game.

Its rounds don't end. Nobody really "wins" after a while. Battle objectives never reset nor have a "kick off" time or anything.

Therefore who achieves a critical mass - that's basically the only skill needed - will go to the FFA map battle objectives (moons) and stranglehold the whole FFA game and will dictate and impose their rules on everybody else. Those battle objectives also provide endless amount of renewable power so basically it's almost granted such stranglehold will last multiple RL years until something blows the battle objective holders from inside.

A FFA game like this would be easily classed as "sh1t" and it is.

And then those 8 destroyers ... tsk, still to cheap compared to the hulk, so we better up the tank a bit more.

So it takes 100 T1 catalysts to do it. But nope, they're still a good bit cheaper, maybe need to knock it up a notch...

We're not talking about the hulk loss isk rates, we're talking the ganker ship loss rates. If, say 8 destroyers were needed to suicide a hulk, the possibility to cover the loss of the destroyers with the loot is less likely.
