EVE General Discussion

confirming that there is in fact absolutely no piratery occurring in nullsec. This does not rule out however the persistent rumors that Captain Jack Sparrow is in fact simply another alt of James 315, perhaps highsec is not as safe as it appears.

Fighting in 0.0 is for a large part pretty much warfare, not piracy due to sov mechanics. If you go to one area of it, the majority of people you run into will be from the same alliance. Low sec is the wild west, no sov, no cops, just gate and station guns to take into account, and plenty of people trying to strike out and make something with themselves. Perfect for piracy.

You assume we don't want gateguns, but we don't really care. We like losec because of it's game mechanics.

And most people going on about losec not having enough targets are carebears saying: "You all want us to go to losec just so you can shoot us, maybe that's why there aren't any people, you whining pirate!1!1"

So, you says that low sec mechanics are ok.

Should I assume that the "nerf high sec" post are troll posts?

Maybe I could start naming off some regions, systems and moons where the reactions POS webs are?

Even if you don't own any, I am sure you will come to appreciate the super cap blobs that will invade your systems to take them down.

Contrary to popular belief, pirates do like people who shoot back.

That is not to say we don't like ganks.

Yep, null is full of soldiers and we are just mere thugs. Tell me more about true warfare.

This expansion NPC aggression will affect your logout timer. as it is right now only pvp aggression results in a 15 minute logout timer if you DC/quit but when this expansion goes live that will also be the case for PVE aggression. So you'll see a lot more bots/grindbear deaths in 0.0 because of it, this will make "piracy" in 0.0 a lot easier (and it allows us the playerbase to actually act against bots, to a degree at least).

Okay, well, we both know I was making a generalization, but the generalization is pretty accurate. Sure, you can get nice kills in null, like you can anywhere else. The key lies in efficiency. It might take me two weeks to do in null what it takes me a day to do in low, or an hour to do in high. For every video of catching a plex Tengu your favorite YouTube hardman uploads, there's hours upon hours of dozens, even hundreds of attempts to accomplish the task of making a successful catch. Meanwhile, in empire, all one has to do is flip a couple of cans.


There are two easy ways for botters to escape this new change:

1. By using a POS.
2. By warping to a safe and cloaking, instead of logging off. Or maybe logging off later. If cloaking isn't an option, then just make enough safespots to make probing impossible. A battleship warps relatively slow, and bouncing between safespots can take over a minute, so you don't actually need that many. Then just log off.

Bots gonna bot, bro. Also, we might actually see MORE bots now, because botters might lose extra time due to visitors not leaving right away (right now, they just log off, and visitors don't have a reason to stay at all), so they'll want to compensate for lost profits. Another great way to get more alt account subs.

High sec and Low sec have rules and are governed by Concorde so piracy is possible.

0.0 has rules set by the alliances and is governed by them.

So, although you don't see people in 0.0 complaining about piracy on the eve forums I can guarantee that the alliances that aren't great\renter corps have posts on their forums along the lines of "there are too many reds around, waaaa"
