I did it without bumping a single miner to Shocked, I blame AFK data-mining, to add insult to injury they even got my details wrong Cry, I had to correct them.

Damn bureaucrats, they clearly have no idea what they're doing, for some reason they started with a ickle fish like me, not the bigger fish, maybe they're scared of you Nanatoa.

If you miners are so worried about being bumped, why dont you just surround yourself with giant secure containers. It wont stop bumping completely but at the very least they wont be able to get straight shot at you and when they hit you you will be stopped by the anchored container. When i say surround i mean leaving no holes open, but at the same time allowing some room inside your "bubble" to maneuver for warp outs and ins. Just a thought dont crucify me. :)


Keep in mind this wouldnt be good for asteroids mining but would work nicely for ice mining since the roids dont deplete and you dont have to move.

Our goal is to develop a database of all bumpers. All of them. Where they go, what they fly, what they do. We will publish it for all miners to see. What they choose to do with that information is liberty of choice to them. We look forward to its creative uses.

they are doing something very specific with the list: asking other people to do something with it

ps bumpers go to new order ice belts, they fly bumping ships, and what they do is bumping

Why don't all the miners organise themselves and simply go on strike? Think of the effect on the Eve economy.

Unless Anslo is willing to act like a union and pay them to go on strike Evil

While the miners were on strike, they could always find something else to do. Mission-running, exploration, maybe even PvP!!! I have heard that there are other activities besides mining that make ISK.

Lies! Not just lies, but damn lies!! Miners shout from the roof tops ( or post in GD, which ever the case may be ) that mining is the ONLY activity in Eve. All the rest of us are just misguided fools playing some shadow of the real game.

I also remember reading that in the beginning Eve was just pretty much a space mining sim, so they may have a point... Ugh

If you weren't in Dreddit I'd tell you no and to send me your API key so I could go through all your EVE mails, transactions and asset holdings to make you my personal unwitting spy.

As you are blue to me I'd tell you to cancel any full API keys you have given out to anyone who isn't you alliance leader.

Unless your post was ironic. In which case no, it's fine TEST Alliance mails are mainly rubbish jokes about genitals from what I have seen anyway.

Man, we took 89 miners to mine ICE for our POS, not one got bumped, I can see the miner bumpers are having an effect. We were going to have a contest, the one who got bumped the farthest would win 200 million ISK. Thanks for being so ineffective.

Thats funny, because way back when I started in 06, the story was that the game was originally written and designed by some bored griefers who were pissed at all the anti-griefing rules in other MMOs, and wanted to make a cut throat game where griefing was a core part of the game.

If I remember correctly a lot of the original devs were UO players

CCP began as a tiny group of former Ultima Online buddies who decided that they wanted to create their own game. They didn't have a tremendous amount of startup capital; by modern standards, the game was developed on a shoestring budget.

When it was released, EVE could barely be called a game at all. It was a pure sandbox design, with only a smattering of content. The learning curve was vertical, the tutorials a disaster, and sales and the subscriber curve abysmal.

If EVE was released today by a AAA publisher, the plug would have been pulled on the servers inside of a month and the developers themselves summarily executed.

Yet with a bare-bones game, CCP managed to eventually grow and prosper. Why? It wasn't a matter of pure random luck. EVE as it was released was a mostly-empty sandbox, where the focus of the endgame was on player conflicts not presided over by the devs.

In the initial stage of the revolution, we must first deeply plough the soil, uproot age-old prejudices, and awaken thousands of miners, haulers, industrialists, and other oppressed workers to political life and political struggle and reveal to each other—and to the world—all classes of society in their true character and in the true alignment of their interests, their forces, their modes of action, and their immediate and ultimate aims. Only after this task is done may we commence refining our activities in organizing, collecting information, and identifying and correcting the principal parties and Bumpists. The revolution does not spring fully leafed and bloomed overnight-- it must be cultivated, seeded, and nurtured, to maturity, with the proveldtariat as the initial ploughman and caretaker.
