EVE General Discussion

Pointing out:

1: The thrust of the original post very clearly indicates that you believe that Low sec status (even in a low sec area) means that the gate guns will fire on you... and also a time limit on engagements.


2: Some ships CAN tank gate guns indefinitely (or if you prefer, more than long enough to do the job). Why do you think a Triage carrier is part of the example, hmmm?

3: There are far more wanna be pirates out that with less than half a clue than there are competent pirates. If you don't know this then I know what category you belong in.

I think you are going to find that when this all shakes out that his frame of reference was primarily concerning gate guns in high sec... and that low sec guns will continue to ignore sec status just as they do now.

But please, feel free to continue to wax hysterical before we have any detailed information about the exact mechanics of it.

After all, it's par for the course for your average EVE forum poster.

Sadly, what I see that's par for the course is people chiming in with no understanding at all of game mechanics like you.

If he was only talking about high sec gates why bring up criminal flags? Ever go to high sec with gcc? I'd go on but the only people who matter already know how wrong any carebear who posted here is about low sec in general as if you're going to insta-pop at every gate, low sec is completely dead, sentries will help you operate in any way there outside of the station, etc...

Psst, I live in Low Sec and currently am dabbling in FW there as a change of pace from 0.0 warfare and Low Sec piracy.

You might note that I"m not the one panicking because someone mentioned they "think" a possible upcoming change might mean that people will get shot more often on gates in Low Sec.

I'm saying wait until you get the details on how these proposed changes will work with Low Sec sentries as opposed to High Sec sentries, and get it in the correct context, then decide whether or not to get your panties in a bunch over it.

Leaping to the wrong conclusion can be habit forming.

Yeah, not being a null or FW pet chasing isk taught me to try to consistently predict outcomes and understand mechanics beyond what primary was called...good nite o/

hahahhah! my thoughts exactly. Its amazing the river of tears these brainless babies can produce when easymode "pvp" is taken away. Should have been done years ago but better late than never.

When I fly ECM I can get to be called primary.

You cant be a pirate and expect to pretty much go where you please with impunity. You play you pay, if you're going to be an azs and gank ppl then more power to you. There must be consequences however to piracy, yes even more than is currently in the game, which is nothing really. It's one thing to be a pvp oriented game, it's another to let players ruin hours of play time of other players 'just cause' with no real consequences. Pirate tears are yummier than carebear tears for they come from the deeper well of anguish.

Aye but there is an npc police force in the game for a reason.

Not in LS.

In HS, they're largely ineffectual for a reason. Because they're meant to be a minor inconvenience for outlaws. The Players are the ones who are supposed to (if they want) make life hell for pirates.
