Confirming that highsec is a "mith".


OP: If you send me 1.5b ISK i can transfer you my Golem as a compensation. How someone could gank you in such a horrible way is beyond me. It is currently located in The Forge Highsec and worth around 2b, but I don't use it anymore.

Will create contract as soon as I receive ISK.

As a legit 3rd party, I can guarantee that Camper101 is completely serious, and willing to trade the golem over to you as soon as he recieves the isk.

If you do not trust camper. Please contact me about my 3rd party services.

That part made me smile a little, it means we high sec dwellers are not lost, yet. :)

Stupidity should be a bannable offense.

Fighting back is more fun than not.

I smell a rat. No Golem KM, but did find this one that is nearly 3 years old.

It's called hi-sec (high-security space), not complete-security space. If hi-sec was as safe as you thought it was, this would be a very boring game.

You have played EVE long enough to acquire a Golem and a 1.5B shield booster. You have played since 2008 (??) and you still didn't know how hi-sec works? It's a shame you didn't learn the hard way earlier.

Now that you are one experience richer, you may as well move into 0.0 or a wormhole and make money faster.

That's probably the "pirate" she encountered in a mission before. Stealing her loot and successfully getting aggro.

Although, not API verified, it looks legit.

Ok for a serious answer, hisec is a training ground for new players. New players don't fly Golems, and you were punished for driving a Ferrari waterjet in the local kiddie pool.

Indeed.
I just find these threads kinda tiresome tbh, hence why I didn't pay much attention. I shall look better next time.
Time will tell if it is legit I guess.

Still think High Sec is a mith & the game is unbalanced towards or for the aggressor with skills. In other words bully training in motion...



Engagment rules and mechanics are identical in any area of New Eden, high, low, null or wh. The only difference are the possible consequences.

This is a core design element in EVE.

If you can afford and pilot such a ship like in that killmail you're not entiteled to ignore this design logic.

ouch ... so much ISK in modules turned into space-dust. didn't even cover the BCs...

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

Yep this happens daily. Cool

Summing the thread up:
Few things to watch for flying anything expensive can get you unwanted attention resulting in an attempt to kill your ship.

- Undock and immediately turn everything shield/armor wise on, can save you is not guaranteed.
- Make a insta undock bookmark. The further away, the faster you align to it, so make it larger then 500-1000KM. Don't BM exactly on round numbers either.
- When your mission is over, keep your hardners/shields whatever on, they may be waiting for you to dock. Having a jump to 0 bookmark on the stations top or bottom may help.
- Keep your eyes on your surrounding, what is happening to who? Go to Dotlan find the place you're staying and look up the kills. From there mark those you think are "evil" in your people and places folder, then keep an eye on local, always.
- Someone jumps in your mission and you fly something expensive? Get the frakk out yesterday. That little standing loss with your agent is not worth it.
- Don't like to fly between so many high secs sharks? -> Move to a more quite system.

in the end you just have to accept that whenever you undock you are open for PvP. That is the nature of this game.
Without that EVE would be really a boring game.
