EVE General Discussion

It's a big universe. Go where he isn't.

You know the names of every pilot in the corp that war dec'd you - so put them on a watch list and watch for them in local.

Other than that, go about your EVE activities like normal.

You might consider educating yourself about Cannibal Kane.

Your attitude has improved since your first post, you now have the right idea, when you lose your ships, and you will lose them, PM your opponent, he may be willing to tell you where you went wrong in your tactics and fit. Don't forget to offer up a GF in local.


You would do well to actually speak to Cannibal Kane instead of insulting him, he specialises in asymmetrical warfare and space terrorism, and may well be able to offer advice, or even help.

Your corp has the wrong attitude about this situation. You were war decced because your enemy believes your corp is weak and easy pickings. They're probably right. The proper attitude to have is to look for them instead of waiting for them to look for you. If you realize that your corp won't back up its players with force and take the dec as a sign that you are going out to have some fun at the expense of a corp dumb enough to dec you, your corp has nothing to teach you about PvP. Your corp should be making them wish the war they started could be over sooner so they can go back to shooting at people who are too lame to ever shoot back.

Since you feel like "but... it's for the rookies!" then you should probably be getting the indication that a corp who can't teach their newbies isn't a corp worth being in. There are lots of much stronger corps out there who can teach you how to play this game and take on new pilots all the time. Ditch your corp full of zeroes and go fleet with some heroes.

Hey man, you haven't done much space-violence in EVE yet so I think most people will give you a pass on that comment. What you're going to discover, if you choose to fight, is that the people you shoot and get shot by tend to be the ones you respect the most. Unless you know... they are cowards.

Okay, I will admit I haven't read much of this thread, so maybe the ideas are already in here....

1) If you can get out of station and into warp w/o him tackling you, you can run all over the known (hi sec) universe and he won't be able to touch you. Pods are amazingly hard to tackle. You also learn quite a bit about the mechanics of undocking, when to warp, timers on stargates, etc. I am assuming you have nothing plugged in your head and the clones at your level are still free? So podding is absolutely, utterly free if that is the case. Leave your ship safely in station and see if you can escape his camp. If you do get podded, you will reappear wherever you clone is, which might be far away and allow you to play elsewhere.

2) Make a point to waste as much of his time as possible. Stay logged on in station, but go read a book, do laundry, make dinner, take a shower, whatever. Maybe undock in your pod and go re-dock in another station in system. Do NOT log off when you go to bed/school/work/whatever.

3) Do not say a single solitary word to him. You seemed to already have done this, but now he knows he is making you unhappy. Do not ever give anyone the satisfaction. The silent treatment. Even if you die in your pod (or ship) do not utter a word. Griefers (or noob corp dec'rs) thrive on tears. Even if they are not truly 'tears', he will see them that way. If he tries to chat, don't refuse, just leave it in a little window in the corner. He won't know if you are even there or not. OR even better (and this has worked), set your CSPA fee (is there still one?) to a high number and accept the chat, forcing him to give up some isk (1 mil used to be the max?).

4) Create a trial account (not sure on the current rules re: this) and play on the trial toon for a while. If you go to the same station, I think you can trade goods directly in station and can also keep an eye on the dec'r if you want. If you don't want to create a trial account, create a second toon on your existing account and play on it. Eventually, if you stick with the game, you will be using at least two, if not all three, of your accounts anyway.

Finally, on the overall issue of protecting the noob, then the noob has to also be prevented from being useful. If you were in a larger corp, you could be very effective currently as a scout or even a tackler. Would it be 'fair' to protect you as a noob while still allowing you to be an effective asset?

Btw, a Vagabond (properly fit) is a frigate killer extraordinaire...don't bother sending suicide frigs at it.

Even when you have 6 months or a year or whatever under your belt, unless you have enough buds with you, you will spend a lot of time holed up in a station waiting out a war target. Practice now :).

I get killing someone for profit, but isn't clubbing seals rather sociopathic and cowardly?

well, as a new player i didnt think of that. i never said my suggestion was a perfect fix, i didnt even say it was a fix, it was just a suggestion, and you've missed my point completely. you're pretty dumb to assume that. however im not going to try and explain the issue here, because you're clealy oblivious to the real issue here.
