hard to probe tengu and don't park at mission hubs....thank me later.

I am casual atm and this works. virtues max skill probers are not common in empire. Once in your deadspace you are pretty much unseen most of the time. I am only seen on undocks, hence the reason I don't park at mission hubs. Little trick learned back in the days when agents had quality ratings. Fun hubs like motsu had the gank pests on standby outside many times. All they ever saw me in was the frigate I used to accept new missions at the station they camped.

Like bigger boats, rattlesnake. Low on gank radar. Granted aggro shift put a dent in its lifestyle but recalling drones ain't so bad once you get used to it when they pick up aggro. bouncer and MJD and you really cut out most of that work as well.

Now granted these options aren't making you billions fast if casual but they do work. But they tend to avoid getting blown up decent so you aren't losing billions either.

I went to Jita and loaded up a cargo ship to the brim with a few ships to have fun with while I was out there. Not 5 seconds from undocking my ship was destroyed and i lost about 600mil. Unknown to me was the rule to not load a ship with that much due to station campers. I must say it is really annoying that I'm paying for a game that I have to play for 2 weeks to gather up ISK just to loose all of it in the blink of an eye. The person who popped me has the same name as his corp. Making the kill rights worthless and he hasn't logged on besides to collect the bounty I placed on him. I have a real life and I don't have time to work backwards. Also I don't have the funds for multiple accounts to rob people in highsec. I can understand that this behavior would be totally acceptable in lowsec but not in a 0.9 system of space. I would compare this to getting mugged outside of the supermarket when you just spent your pay check on groceries.

My suggestion is to make this game more friendly to players like me. Casual players. More separation of PvP and PvE. Make some part of space safe for people to get away from the real world and not get stabbed in the eye by another random player. I'd like to see this game do well because I'm a big sci-fi fan. But I can not in good conscience continue paying for a game that I could loose everything I've worked for in the blink of an eye, simply by putting it in space for the first time, in a place that is supposedly 'secure'. It's a waste of my time, money and not an experience I want to pay for. There are people out there that take gaming too seriously and that reflects on actions and choices they make in the real world.

I don't pay to be blow up for doing nothing out of the ordinary or attempting to enjoy this game with people that I've met. Also its hard to get to know people in this game due to the fact that anyone can rob me blind if i trust them too much. Not the type of community I would choose to live in so why would I pay for it? The reason this game will never be more than a website banner on WoW game pages is because you pay to loose time.

I find your story to be very interesting good sir.

The day eve becomes a casual game is the day I quit it.

Get the f out.
Eve is a good game because it is not casual.

You clearly do not belong here OP.

Actually.

You'll need to keep your tranquility player updated and still running skill ques, but ratting without many consequences can happen on there I guess.
