EVE General Discussion

I like this idea. Expand HG to 4 weeks of rewards for incursion deaths.

Suicide ganks (face it, that is what this is) are a valid and viable tactic in EVE. This tactic means that your attacker gets blown up, just like in any normal suicide gank. And just like any other suicide gank there are ways to protect yourself from it; in this case it means having redundant systems and not count on the bare minimum. Or bring ECCM.

The loophole that was plugged recently fixed a tactic that gave no warning AND had NO consequence. EVE doesn't do 'no consequences' (or close to it anyway). This tactic has plenty consequences, namely CONCORDdokken + standings/security hits.

Also, it is GM Homonoia - the goddess of concord and oneness of mind.
Not GM Hormone - the family of chemicals that are designed to do weird stuff to your body and mental state.

Imagine those tears if the HaG did as I suggested and targetted the most expensive faction fits

Wow, talk about a buzz killer.

You went and ran off all the charter members of the "Silent Majority" brigade that seem to think some of the recent changes means that CCP has decided high sec should become absolutely safe... as opposed to making sure players on both sides of the fence have the tools necessary to employ their trade.

This thread could have gone on for several pages of amusement. Thanks a lot big guy.

(Actually, seriously, thanks a lot GM Homonia for setting things straight. Cheers.)

So here's a question, why aren't these logi pilots using ECCM/remote ECCM? Seriously, shame on you if you get ECM'd by a blackbird in a guardian/basilisk.

Dude, you do realise they reduced Sanctum spawn times? That you need to run the onboard scanner 930s0 to spot it? This is not true of Incursions, where OTA's and NCO's just respawn INSTANTLY to a instantly warpable celestial. And further, you are in hisec, so your risk is basically zero - whereas in nullsec, to get that ISK, you need a carrier and are vulnerable to being ganked.

Bzzzt. Try again you mewling ingrate.

also: LULS

See, this is bullcrap.

The "warning" was the fact that they were in fleet with 5 or 6 guys who all had corp history with people that were VERY VERY KNOWN to be doing this. Congratulations on saving the retards too stupid to check that.

The "consequences" never happened because the carebears are too ******* carebear to make it happen. Namely, that every ship SKNK used to shoot the bears, went red on the overview. Their own faction / pirate battleships. Points at this point, if anyone can think of any possible way that could have bitten them in the ass

FFS stop making every "consequence" in this ******* game something that is doled out by NPCs, and tell the players to HTFU and do something about it themselves.

Because all you're doing is pushing the scale further and further one way, where eventually every ******* ****** dipshit in highsec will be expecting a giant CONCORD fairy to come and make everything better for them. The fact you have reimbursed some of these losses is a terrible indictment of the current state of the game. Remember: you have previously stated (as a GM team) that this tactic was "working as intended." So I guess jamming the logi will be "working as intended" until the petitions stack up, then?

As for the tards who think "Null is safer, coz of intel channels! tee hee!" then I counter with - http://www.suddenbuggery.com/killboard/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=1670

Because there are quite easy ways around intel channels. But hey, think that if you want.

You should check out the test server and read a few more threads insurance is changing, not that it will do a thing to stop suicide ganking. All the gankers i know don't do it for profit put rather for the pure joy of it and the sound of pointless fury in local.

Ohhh you just gave me a great idea for a sensor-dampening scorpion! No "chance based" shennannigans there!

Woot, Eve fame.

For reference, we were just trying this out yesterday and out of three attempts, only one ended up in non-blackbird ships dying. I think the logi panicing and warping out had a large part in that happening. By the end, we'd used 15 blackbirds, lost a bunch of sec status, but killed a machariel and a bhaalgorn and looted two shiny federation navy stasis webifier. All in all a good night.

FYI: a smart hauler would buy up a lot of meta3 ecm and haul them to Jita
