Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Your lossmail was linked earlier. You had 85k EHP and a gaping EM hole in that fit, it really wouldn't have been hard to kill you. If you took that BS to lowsec, you'd have died even faster. Maybe you should have refit to something with an actual tank?


On top of that, a maelstrom costing 300 million would do the job of your 1.7 billion isk machariel, it'd tank better and do all of 40 less DPS. Was your ship worth the extra 1.4 billion ISK over a mael?


And, as not one single one of the whiners in this thread has managed to answer the question, why should the pricetag of your ship affect how easily it can or can't be killed?

Easy,

The maelstrom mentioned would not have been a 5 BILLION isk ship. 13 Tornado's would not have even bothered.

By flying the 300 million ISK maelstrom that came through the gate after that idiot and wasn't touched at all.


5.7 billion ISK is asking for it. 300 million is not.

Not one carebare has explained why oh why, even if they insist on flying blingy ships, they can't be bothered to bring along a fleet to help protect them?

The problem, besides the fact that this game and the mentality behind playing on a non-blue server escapes you, is that you think that you should always be able to do everything solo.

You want to solo runs missions in a MMO..... do even see the problem here? Your paying money each month, to sign onto a game with thousands of others in order to play by yourself..... This is your issue.


Try running missions with a couple friends (doesn't seem like you have alot of them, so maybe try to find them)... you won't look like such a tasty / easy target.

Also, quit bringing up ganking miners.. the only reason people lose mining ships is because they yield fit and are afk (or near enough it makes no difference)... seriously it's not that hard to keep from getting ganked (Hint... fly a procure or skiff). Just like in real life, is really a great idea to strut down the inner city with a 60 thousand dollar rolex on your arm and diamonds on your fingers that blind people three blocks away? Not really... same principle in eve.

The underlying premace of EVE is that the place is not nice. "High sec" is hardly secure, it's everything CONCORD can do to keep it from devolving into open warfare. I mean, what government sanctions companies waging legal war against the others?

One of the most important skills to learn in EVE is how to stay alive. This thread is all from someone who doesn't want to learn that.

I mean, hell, if you look at my killboards you'll see that I'm a terrible combat pilot. I go out in a cheap frigate expecting to never see it again. It's fun, because I know my limits and am pleasantly surprised when I occasionally make it out alive. As I lose ships, I'll eventually stop sucking so much, but until then it's a jolly good time.

i never said anything against that. I just think that there should be a better balance as punishment. That excludes the fitting or the cargohold and only includes the hull. CONCORD is practically Police and extract an extra fine afterwards. But Concord should always exclude fitting or freight.

Suicide gankers are like terrorists lol

Go for high collateral damage on as many unsuspecting rich "nonbelievers" (non believers in highsec ganking)

Now for this we need checkpoints, "green zones", counter terrorism units, and a special concord spy agency (CSA)
Would be a fun counter to it, that would expound on what exists already, i think lol

So what weapon do i use on a mining barge?

// ill leave this, but mostly im saying this as expensive freight through high sec, but yeah, tank.

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA
