I'm actually curious, has anyone ever Awoxed a supercap?

Sounds like that's how ****'s supposed to work, darling.

They're praying to their NPC gods that those "some dudes" won't come and grab their miners/freighters by the balls

And "squeeze" with blasters and/or artillery.

God damnit, I need a new monitor... Lol

Friendship is being able to laugh about it afterwards.


Last time I went to the toilet while mining, I lost an exhumer. That was post-Retribution, and the gankers didn't loot or salvage anything. So ganking happens and the gankers do it for the lulz, not the profit.


It's kind of hard to loot and salvage when you have a GCC flag and Concord on your arse, it's generally the scouts or vultures who do that, blame them.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

You're preaching to the choir. I was opposed to making Concord invincible and inescapable.

Tell me more about how your gank fleet is too silly to have NPC corp pilots in Probes ready to loot and salvage.

Sov needs a massive rework before anything gets moving anywhere else. Have the powers that be in nul sec get behind an idea that breaks up the blue fields of care bear land in null sec and puts a risk to go with the isk faceuts then I will get on board with changing a lot in other areas of the game including high sec. Right now null alliances have no skin in the game. They want to keep their care bear playgrounds and nerf everything else. They are going to have to show they are serious about the well being of the game instead of just trying to further their grasp.

Ah yes. The Goons. No doubt the highest on the opium called moongoo and would benefit the most from seeing the economy pushed out of high sec and into their grasp.

No surprise to see Goons ears pop up when folks start hitting on the truth of the situation.

More normally it would be a spy telling the enemy where your fleet is.

But yes, I believe it has happened. What occurred was a (blue) ship saw the titan in a POS. Proceeded to BUMP said titan out of the shields with a machariel or whatever. The moment said titan was 1m outside of the shields, well then titans jumped in and blew it up.

Gankers are not defying the game mechanics. The game mechanics are specifically designed to allow ganking to happen. This isn't a WoW PvE server.

Actually, you're (going to be) wrong because Neodynum is the big thing. You will soon learn to not talk back to Montrolio. He has already demonstrated that he never forgives (even if some people's gods do).

NPC alts aren't always available to loot, sometimes the scout is part of the gank fleet, alternatively you could tell me more about how the rest of the miners around you were too scared to loot your wreck because they might get flagged for it or were afk, I'm presuming of course you weren't alone in the belt when it happened.

If catering to you involves corrupting what makes this game unique to provide you with something you can get elsewhere, they shouldn't. That's rather the point of this entire thread.


EvE is a game of the good guys versus the bad guys, however who is good and bad is a matter of perspective. What I find appealing might seem corrupt to you and vice a versa.

He obviously didn't mean "corrupting" in a moral sense you halfwit.

Damn the op's 'Great Wall Of China' text. I also read each and every other posted reply in this thread.

Shocked

It's all there, black and white, clear as crystal.

You get nothing.

You lose.

Good day sir.

Perhaps it should be.

EVE is dying. Obviously with alphaganking, simply making concord even faster (they're already invulnerable) isn't going to cut it, so let's just cut to the chase and cut the gankers out of highsec.

The original poster sounds so much like the way James 315 posts that even I can sniff it out.

Great way to promote yourself, James 315. Unless the people spot it. Didn't even need the mushrooms to see right through you this time.

Thank you.

Gank the looter, you get to loot the looter, and the loot they looted, lootception.

Eve is not dying. The population is continuing to rise, as it always has. Check the all time weekly average. http://eve-offline.net/?server=tranquility It took a slight dip and is now on its way up again. Look at the past year. It's higher now than it was a year ago. Past 6 months? Same. Every chart shows growth. STFU unless you're going to say something that isn't complete fiction.

My my.

EVEO, want to defend your views which I have seen espoused here so frequently? As a goon it is not possible for anyone to trust me to carry your argument for you without somehow trying to get a metagame advantage from it.

If he truly loved Eve Online, he would not run for CSM. While I don't disagree with some of his methods, he is far from balanced in my opinion, and represents not hisec interests in truth.

I sometimes have to wonder when the harshness of space was replaced with the soft foamy feel of a theme park.
