EVE New Citizens Q&A

It will depend on who you **** off. Prey on weaker targets/carebears if you don't want them to fight back.

This was my expectation, I just needed confirmation of sorts. So I need to check people out before I go asking for their wallets lol

You'll mostly receive threats from your victims about their friend in a bad, bad mercenary alliance that will get you. Nothing will come of it. Or they'll tell you that their friend has a titan.

I got about 20 seconds in and started to doze off. What was I looking for exactly?

lol, it was some half-hearted and pathetically inept attempt at trolling. However, said troll definitely needs some practice in low sec troll space.

I know that I know. So while that may be little, I still know.

It depends on your and your corp mates mindset.

I do what I do in the hopes that things escalate.

Most people dont Act on vendettas in this game.

Now. That doesn't mean they wont hold a grudge against you if you steal from them or grief them enough. It just means they've got better **** to do then drop a cap on some new players face that stole from them.

Not to mention dropping capital ships solo in low sec is a fantastic way to loose them.

You can loot other peoples wrecks but honestly salvage is basically valuable garbage. you cant get a flag for salvaging some one else wrecks you just cant lock a tractor beam on it.

If your running around doing low sec salvaging if you get it, get out and sell it may have well been yours. If your in low sec and your stealing some one else's wreck they wont get angry with you they'll just blow you up right then and there.

Its low sec.


Heres another example of how vendettas or grudges really aren't a driver of player actions at the micro level.
For a null sec grunt your loyalties have probably changed at the collapse of every null sec alliance you've been apart of. Grunts are only looking for null sec homes, and alliances are only looking for people who aren't drama causing ass hats, and that do show up to fleets and shoot what the FC tells them. Its not like there going to be like: "Hey I fought against your alliance two years ago Ill never let you into my corp!" It just doesn't work like that.

I have absolutely no intention on being a griefer of any sort. I do want to make good cash on ransoms. Or if my skills reach a point where I can claim bounties myself, Im all for that.

My only concern (albeit not a great one) is the fact that Im really new to a game that has been around for years. So there are players who have seen the best and worst of the game, and their experience far trumps mine. I learn something new everyday though, and that only furthers my desire to test myself in low sec.

Your actions in game can bring a response to your corporation just as much as your words on these forums can bring about responses to your character in game.

Keep in mind what kind of corporation you belong to and what kind of reputation it wants and doesn't want.

If you are a member of a high sec indy corp with a high sec pos that would like absolutely nothing more than to be left alone to use their POS and do their indy activities in peace, then no... I would advise against peeing in other people's cornflakes for your corporation's sake.

On the other hand, if your corp is the kind of group who publicly and actively does that kind of stuff and is well aware of the consequences of their actions, go for it.
