Recently my corporation was contacted by a member of Goonswarm claiming to be their public representative. He said that for a fee of 500,000,000 isk any single member of the corp would be granted immunity from Goonie violence while ice mining, but only in a single system. This sounded absolutely dumb, for obvious reasons. Aside from the steep fee, it only covers one person and only in one system. I didn't want any part of this but one of my members paid up and was mining safely this past day in Actee.

After it turned out that their guy wasn't full of crap, I ended up paying for my corporation (and a friendly orca pilot) to mine safely in Actee. We just got done with a 2 hour mining op there, and everything was fine. So if you get this offer, take them up on it! It's expensive, but much less expensive than not making any money!

I was the member who originally paid, and the Public Representative was named Venus Vermillion. He was real nice, and he seems to keep to his word.

I'm the Orca pilot in question, and I was convinced we were going to die. At one point a goon fleet showed up in our belt and killed another miner, but left us alone. Weird guys.

I guess a good way to survive the goons is to just pay them off.

Sure, you can keep griefing (let's not call it ganking, I'd like to reserve that word for low sec players who are far more creative than you) all you want regardless of your sec level. But for all that other stuff - like - moving goods to and from the market hubs, well, that's hard to do with -10. So you can choose to stay a null-bear forever where -10 doesn't matter, but you will always have to rely on someone else to move your stuff around for you for a long, long time. Like you said, it takes a lot of commitment. On a throwaway alt, who cares. But on a real char? Hmmm.



First everyone has alts to do empire stuff anyway, second just how long do you think it takes to fix sec status when you have 0.0 rats are your disposal? Oh no they have to rat for a few days and earn isk while doing it.

You got this bit right, then you derped.

If the miners have RR on the field, then you just bring arty and alpha your ******* Hulk to oblivion. Weirdly, RR is amazingly ineffective when the target lasts less than a second.

Secondly, if you "win" (avoid the gank) you just make the ganker more determined, and then you're ****** over a lot worse than if you just stopped mining.


You lost a lot of lunch money as a kid huh..?


oh god must I say this again

who do you think is more socially functional in real life, the guy who only plays the game to mine solo and run missions solo or the guys who have a fun time coordinating ganks together and giving arrogant solo miners a bloody nose?


Gang rapists think that activity is fun. So obviously they are more socially functional than an accountant with a job the gang rapists think is boring. You really put things in perspective.

Goons is blotted out? Tut tut, clearly you want the nominitive plural 'Goons are blotted out' which would be 'Goons Delendae Est'. Additionally, there is no reason to capitalise every word in the sentence. If you want to use Latin to show off at least do it right, godDAMN...

Confirming Goonswarm is all teenagers and neckbeards.

but very few teenagers can grow neckbeards

do we revert and keep our beard-growing hormones?
