According to quantum physics.... oh forget it.



You know, depending on interpretations of the Many Worlds Theory, everything that can possibly happen does possibly happen every instant in time. Sometimes I giggle at the thought that, somehow in the many branching fronds that may exist in the possibility tree that is time as we know at, Lady Areola Fappington exists, and is out there blowing up miners.

That, however, is thoughts for good drugs and open minds, and not a chat about destroyers eating mining barges.

LOL, if this is by any chance a dig at what I said in terms of a Hulk being destroyed in a 0.7 system and its pilot podded by a single Destroyer, it was before the buff and I did say that, now that I looked at the kill it was a 0.5 system, he told me it was a 0.7, facepalm...

and the pod

Oh well best to check check and check again!

EDIT: I thought you were referring to that thread in C&P, but seems not, continue with what you were doing, don't mind me, lol

When the going gets tough the Gankers get their CSM rep to change mechanics in their favour.

Gotcha, no harm done.

I get the same in Real Life. Some people just absolutely hate it when a nurse says "Hey, you need to give up the smoking, drinking, and fatty food, you're killing yourself".

Exactly, and those are actually meaningful suggestions that one should better heed, coming from somebody that generally knows better... so it cannot come as a surprise that people don't listen to suggestions regarding "just" a game that they play in their spare time, coming from other people that they perceive as "equals", no?

I get something like 756.2 DPS when I overheat my gank catalyst.

I think I'll leave this here:

See, that's the thing. We're not equals. Some of us are players, and some of us might as well be bots.

The advice is the same regardless of who it comes from, over and over again, and you'd think that might tell them something. But no. I guess the "human condition" you are describing is abject stupidity. Or insanity, doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result.

I was wombling around (as I do) in 0.5 space in my Mackinaw, slurping up some Kernite. One destroyer turned up, trying to duel with me. Yeah, right. Saw where this was going. Obviously I declined (over and over) and after a few moments of silence (in which I presume a passive target ship scan to see what I was equipped with) had passed, two more destroyers jumped in. Those two instantly locked, scrammed, and attacked, while I presume the third was waiting to loot.

They didn't even get through my shields before getting concordokkened. I had a few shield hardeners on.

I took a look at the corp they are in, it's all they do all day so I would expect proper gank fits. I still have kill rights on those two people, and am considering trying to pop them one day.

Edit: What I was trying to say, is if you are paying attention and actually tank your boat, it's going to cost them. If it was more than two gankers, I'd switch out to a Skiff.

Aside from the fact that this is a pretty condescending thing to say, so what? Are these "non-players" really such a blight on "your" game... a danger even? One might think that when reading the forums. Blink

Or is that just a convenient excuse to take advantage of them... I mean, it's just a game, right? So why all that negativity towards these "bots"?

Save it, I know the answer(s) by now... Roll

The only mining I have ever done consisted of popping a rat hauler and accidentally looting the wreck.

But I am glad that somebody enjoys it. We kinda need the minerals for ships, you know?
