Somebody activated a kill right on me

But I'm not sure why. I was moving one of my jump clones out of Jita when the message popped up that a kill right had been activated.

Rather thrilling to be honest! But what was the point given that Zappity has been rather naughty lately and has a criminal security status?

Is there something I'm missing about kill rights or was this superfluous?

You naughty girl.

You need to be punished.

Everything in EVE is a trap.

And if it isn't, it's your job to make it a trap...:)

While true ... pretty much a KR is "CONCORD sanctioned revenge" ... if it's activated by someone, they get a 15 min timer wherein to kill you.

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

Thanks all. So 'just highsec' is the answer. Figures.

Was it by any chance a very expensive killright, that was owned by one of your alts?

I hear that can work out well for all parties involved, especially if you shoot one of your alts, get them to put a 3b KR on you, and then pilot an empty freighter around. Your alt gets 3b, you get a killright removed from you and a freighter insurance payout, and your attackers get to violence a boat and get rid of some of that ISK that's burning a hole in their wallet.

You go flashy when your KR is activated, which is visible in local. If you then kill the Suspect you get a killmail with an extra picture. That's about it really.

Hello Velicitia the average high-sec player.


Average hisec player (according to you) is "dumb and doesn't know about game mechanics"
Vel (me) is aware of this particular mechanic (and more! gasp!Shocked)

Therefore, I am an "Average hisec player" Cry

Though, yeah, at -7.9, there is no need to activate a KR on Zappity... seeing as she's KOS in hisec

would love to be living out in null ... but RL makes that "difficult" ("oh sorry guys, have to be gone for a month or three" isn't exactly great)

That's what I like about lowsec. Easy PvP that suits the casual playstyle that I have no intention apologising for. The concept of CTA timers for a game doesn’t sit well with me - they're hard enough when I get paid for it!

You don't have to live in low-sec to enjoy freedom, I too would never join a corp or alliance that has CTAs with mandatory participation.

Should definitely try lowsec then ...

Good to hear. How would a typical null corp deal with someone who, say, travels a lot for work? And then actually likes spending time with their family when they're at home?

So I might log in for an hour once or twice during the week, maybe a bit more on the weekends. And then not at all for a couple of weeks.

But there probably isn't a 'typical null corp'. I'm not trolling btw - I've been thinking about what sort of corp I should look at for small gang PvP.

The same as a typical low-sec corp. If you announce your absence, there will never be a problem (except if you are in a corp full of shitlords who value Eve over RL).
