Or just walk away. I can only think of one L4 that can potentially spawn a BS that when wrecked would be worth fighting over.

Anyway, live and learn. I got flipped within my first month of Eve way, way back when. Luckily for me I was only in a cruiser (I think) but it still stung, I still whined but at the end of the day I accepted, sucked it up and learned.

Good luck!

You don't FART in EVE without knowing the mechanics of FARTING inside and out.

So it seems fitting that you should never ENGAGE someone unless you know all about the mechanics of PVP.

The world is a community of idiots doing a series of things until it explodes and we all die.

0/10 so obvious

Someone in a 'faction fitted Mael' would know about these things

Now, more than ever, we need a dislike button.

if this happens, I mark my wrecks as blue and let them have it and enjoy the agents reward. let him loot..that stuff is almost worthless. jump to another system and farm your l4s there... sometime you win, somtimes someone else..

I have 1 rule.. Never pvp in eve if you do not have to. You will lose a ship!

+1 for your sig.

Not a bad rule to have if you only choose one I suppose too.

Don't shoot the ninja. Bad Things(TM) will happen.

I can teach you the guaranteed way of dealing with those of the ninja-persuasion, however:

It requires an ISK 500mn up-front fee.

Ni.

No, actually the OP has it exactly right.

If you do something stupid and end up losing a ship....DON'T learn from it and up your game....

Complain on the forums...

And CCP will ride to the rescue with patches and rule changes, to make sure it doesn't happen again.
"For the good of the EVE (carebear) community..."

Thats been the pattern lately, and it seems to work pretty well. Roll

by shooting him you give him the opportunity to defend himself.

he killed you good.

Working at intended


This is high sec pussies methods. Works has intended: read= you're nothing and this is a pvp game, get it or gtfo for BF3/WOT's

Just good to grief you by any means but has soon has they have to go in null/low sec their pants turn smelly.

Super pvp boys CCP loves above all, even null sec.

You just can't do whatever vs a pvp fit on your maelstrom, all you have to do now is fit some arty cane insta lock, find out where he docks and pop he's pod until you are tired of that Lol -worth for it's corp mates too of course but before just be sure you're in an NPC corp Lol

EDIT: arty trashers t1 fitted are good enough for the job Blink

Please keep flying faction-fit Maelstroms... where do you fly by the way? Twisted

Try not. Do. Or do not. There is no try.
