The best bit about using SimCity4 to pass the time while alt tabbed out of EVE is that it doesn't take long until your city implodes so you don't accidentally get caught up in your secondary game.

Amusing to see some null folks cry about no income in null space, yet in another or even the very same thread, talk about how they are somehow magically rich and too good to talk to the poors of the game.

How can you be rich and poor at the same time? They do far too much lying.


because other people do the red cross shooting for me when they pay me their security deposits and mining permit fees

Implying you don't risk losing a ship in high-sec


If I go AFK on any given nullsec gate in anything from a frigate to a titan, every passing second makes it more likely that my ship will be lost. Do the same in hisec and chances are that you'll come back to your ship even if you wait till downtime.

So of course nullsec is far riskier.

Well I keep a good eye on local no matter where I am, when you post in these forums you have to. Big smile In all my work areas, I will take down my mining ship and rat ship. I keep these 2 ships there at all times, I have several systems setup the same way, Ret and Vex or Domi. I use my covert-ops ship to move between areas, so if a -2 or more shows up, I dock up get into covet ops ship, fly to a moon, hit cloak and ask the - sec guy if he wants to play hot or cold.Big smile

I'm a nerd, you can check my stats!! Skilling Int/Mem at 45 sp per minute is how I mack!     I'm like a lapdog, all bark no bite.

The functionality of local is greatly reduced in high sec, as any neut could be red and you won't know until it's too late.


No, any blue is blue. Any neutral is neutral. Any red is red. Being blue to you doesn't stop me from shooting you anywhere, there might just be repercussions for doing so, but there is no mechanic to stop me otherwise. The functionality is the same anywhere except wormholes - the list shows every logged in character in the system.

Go ahead and park a JF at a POCO in 0.0 and go AFK if want. People mine in Titans there, it isn't as if you'd be special.


I can go AFK in a JF anywhere in hisec and it's more likely that I'll still come back to a ship unless I'm dumb enough to put 10b+ worth of crap in it.

To answer the OP:
Quote:

Verily good space captains, what do ye do when some nefarious bugger comes into your system whilst you are engaged in the PvE content of your own choosing?



I'm almost sure it was put that way, but the OP was nine pages ago, so I may be misremembering a bit.

Normally, safe up and cloak, have a beer while they get bored, and then resume my normal activities.

De'Veldrin's Corollary (to Malcanis' Law): Any idea that seeks to limit the ability of a large nullsec bloc to do something in the name of allowing more small groups into sov null will inevitably make it that much harder for small groups to enter sov null.

I find the thinking of some of our high sec living cousins to be hilarious (in a painful, walking on glass kind of way). They have somehow convinced themselves that because null sec players have learned to mitigate some of the risk, through PLAYER efforts like intel channels, POSes/station and cloaks on isk-making ships, null sec is somehow SAFE and it is THEY (hi-sec people) who are at risk...because of catalysts and thrashers and despite high sec having AUTOMATIC NPC police response.

All this despite the fact that actual empirical evidence to the contrary: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=2089146#post2089146

It's more interesting to consider the number of ships lost per person.

0.0 is about 4.5x more dangerous to the individual player than empire, or about 20x more dangerous if you disregard PvE losses.


Even the high sec pve is safer, as most of their pve loses are cheap frigates killed in tutorial missions. When pve ships die in null, they tend to be carriers, maruaders, , tech 2 logistic ships , tech3s and faction battleships.

(While it's not clearly stated in the dev blog in the link, I'm willing to bet every isk in my wallet that the 300k + ships lost to null sec pve are worth at least 10 times the 6 million ships lost to high sec pve, even since Incursions were added)

When i want peace, i mission in high sec, and I've lately been doing incursions in a Vindicator worth 5+bil, it's nice to have a place to do that sure, I take advantage of it because it exists, but high sec is a little ridiculous with how safe it is the carriers and dreads I fly in null sec don't even cost 5 bil..... These high sec people claiming null is safer need to take a class in critical thinking.

Tell me Marlona, if local in 0.0 is making ganking PvE ships in 0.0 pointless and impossible and killing nullsec, why does nullsec have more marauder losses then all other regions combined despite having only, at best, one-fifth the active players living in it?

Because everyone is using Tengu's?

So not only do I prove your 'nullsec is safe' claim is wrong, I preemptively proved a 'everyone uses tengus' claim is wrong by posting a laundry list of nullsec marauder kills.
