step 1:
fit your barrage with tank.
step 2:
check dotlan for nice systems with station which you can 100% refine.
step 3:
check dotlan for:
a. number of traffic into the system
b. number of pod kills
c. number of ship kills

now you will be gankers target much much much less then you are now.

it's natural selection dude, if you get ganked move to safer spot.

You simply suck at this game it would seem. If you're not even able to mine without getting ganked every day you must be doing something so horribly stupid I can't even imagine what it is.

U know , you could try joinin a wormhole corp or nullbear corp and mine there , pretty sure its safer then high sec nowadays ... if not , then sorry to hear you leave

can i have your stuff though ?


I wish u good luck in your future gaming experiences

living between C3 and C6 over the course of several years, we never lost a single miner except for 1, in fact, the ONLY reason we lost him was because he was a brit playing in US TZ, fell asleep at the keyboard in the grav, and got ganked along with 5 3's that had warped in to try and save him from the hostile fleet.

i got yelled at SO much for calling a T3 fleet to try and save a retriever

Buy a Procurer. Fill it with ECM drones. Gankers will go look for easier prey.

Anyway a word of warning, increasing of gankage in high sec or even null sec makes mining more profitable for those that don't complain about it constantly.


Seriously, I rarely ever see ganks. If you're constantly getting ganked, MINE SOMEWHERE ELSE. Seriously, I never EVER get ganked, my friends never do either. You are either mining in Hek or New Order space, and you can rest assured that you are now watchlisted by me and at least 50% of other posters in this thread.

I mined for at least 5mo of my eve career. I remember the one time I was ganked. It was the venture I got from the tutorials and I was less than a month old. I raged and freaked the heck out in local....oh wait that must have been some other guy. I thought getting ganked was the most exciting thing that had happened yet to me in Eve. I made friends with that guy and scouted for him for awhile. Later I joined the New Order and learned all their secrets (#1 AFK miners can't warp out, #2 miners prize efficiency over tank so educate them) . I mined for another couple of months when I wasn't busy ganking the competition. Never was ganked myself because I didn't follow rules 1 & 2. I mined in a C3 wh as well because I'm a dumb guy that does that sort of thing. Wasn't ganked there either.

If I were you I would feel pretty bad that I was made such a little (insert pejorative reference) by some guys in a video game when everyone around you seems to be able to deal with it. I guess you should have just bought a permit. I'd think it would be a better outcome than this.

Not a day goes by that people leave me alone to do whatever I want.

What are you doing, or not doing, to make yourself a constant target?

Are you mining AFK, or in high-population systems (people in local > number of belts)? Mouthing-off in local?
It's not his fault. It's those monkey-killing bigots!! X

Oh look it's this thread again...
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger (you are immortal after all). So HTFU, and perhaps try to play EVE from the other side of the barrel. Miners are at the bottom of the food chain in EVE, it's as simple as that. You and only you can change that, so what's stopping you?

Are you mining in a skiff or procurer?

Even people off their rocker don't gank those.

Seriously, if you are being ganked you are flying the wrong ship.

Looking to talk on VOIP with other EVE players? Are you new and need help with EVE (welfare) or looking for advice? Looking for adversarial debate with angry people?

For those who couldn't be bothered to check, he lost a Procurer in Egbinger which is 0.0.

So;

- he's fairly new
- created his own little 3 man corp to keep him from having friends, learning from them or helping him to stay safe
- went into 0.0
- got blown up
- now cries

I'm fairly sure we're not going to miss players like those.

2 Retrievers, 2 pods and 2 Mackinaws in Gulfonodi (0.5), one of which happened yesterday.

Who put the goat in there?

1.5 Bil.

I never had more than 500 million ISK at any given time.

Assets... might be 1.5 Bil for me if I checked. Probably a little less though.

And I have been at this for over 7 years.

I think the OP just needs to find an out of the way spot.

It would be nice if CCP promoted more PvP and less PvT.

You are either mining in Hek or New Order space


New order are glorified carebears who cannot PvP and run from PvP fit combat ships ...


People actually mine in Hek ? Really? ... wow
