NPC corps offer documents that allow the operation of a POS in high sec, modules that are only available through their store, contracts for services (Missions, research, courier, combat and mining) all for a fee and a required standings. Concord also offers modules in their LP store, so they are no different.

This. And to say NPC corps do NOTHING is closing to saying you don't know much about the foundations that all of us find ourselves on top of. It's my understanding that BPO's (you know those things that make it possible to build...well...ANYTHING IN THE GAME) can only come from NPC Corps to begin with.

You want game mechanics to make up for your mistakes.

If you can not protect what you have you deserve to have it taken away from you by enterprising and intelligent capsuleers.

You whiners just don't seem to get it. It's easy to not become gank bait but you refuse to acknowledge this out of laziness, stubbornness and stupidity.

You can fly any battleship you want, from pirate BS to Marauder, T1 or Faction to run your missions. You will NOT get ganked because of the ship you fly, there just isnt any isk to be made form it.

And you know what? Even if you fit 1bill or 2 bill or however much you want in faction modules then that's STILL not any guarantee that you will get ganked. I know, I flew lv4 missions like that for YEARS without a single gank attempt.

But if you want to fly that same ship with that much isk in modules in a highly populated and KNOWN GANK SYSTEM where you can make more isk, then do not whine when you get ganked.

Risk vs Reward.

You want to run SOE missions for that juicy juicy LP? Then the risk WILL be increased. If you do not take steps to reduce that risk then that is YOUR fault, not game mechanics fault, not CCPs fault but your own. If you want up to DOUBLE the isk income from lv4 missions then you better damn well expect the risk to be increased by a similar amount or you're barking up the wrong tree and only making yourself look the fool.

If your position is that being able to make double the isk at NO increased risk then why not remove the risk from lv5 missions? How about making LS safe too? Why not turn the whole of eve into one HS WOW world where if you die you lose some durability on your ship/modules and you just have to pay some isk to have it all repaired?

Pathetic.

I've always thought CONCORD's sole job was to punish the actions of criminals, not protect law abidding capsuleers and/or their assets, unlike a real police force.

If they are a police force, why do we get kill rights on anyone that performs an aggressive action without consent ?

EVE is what happens when the rule of law does not apply and Darwinism is allowed to run freely.

Which has nothing at all to do with scooping loot from space.

You're assuming a premise that most people in this thread (or anywhere) would disagree with, and that's why you're trolling. Most people that want suicide ganking nerfed (including me), are not seeking to eliminate it as a potentially profitable activity. Talking about what real police do in real life is a distraction from the topic at hand. If you want the police to be more realistic, we should be talking about how to fight them or escape from them, which is currently a bannable offense.

NPCs do nothing. They have no agency. They are not people. They have no self-interest and take no actions that further or harm the goals of their respective faction. The only metric by which you could measure their success is faction warfare, in which they also take no agency. They are complex vending machines and mechanical obstacle courses to facilitate the interaction of players with other players, and to provide a playing field, tools (including BPOs), and set of rules with which to do so. You could say all MMO NPCs are like this, but even among these, Eve's NPCs and factions are some of the most basic and unapologetically artificial of them all.

Anize, I spend a lot of time adding to the knowledge base of new and old players, I have years of experience and knowledge that I give freely and without sarcasm on many threads. I do not shame any player for their chosen career path, and I don't lie to further my agenda. And I am confident there are many players that would back me up when I say. 'I don't troll.'

This thread is pertaining to the risk of losing an expensive mission ship in High Sec, as it is pertinent to missions. A suggestion to a change should be garnered from a consensus of mission runners in the missions sub forum. An argument against the idea should be probably be proffered in the 'Crime and punishment' sub-forum. I have made the suggestion in the F&I and promoting it here is well within the scope of the conversation. Just like pointing out to Mission runners that they all suck and are playing the game wrong is apparently the right of the non-carebear types.

As far as protecting yourself against suicide gank squads, there is currently nothing to be done but don't get noticed and don't get targeted, if they want your modules they will take them and all a player can do is work hard to avoid them, and not let it ruin your love of the game when they get to you.

SOB forums ate my wall of text Cry

I'll just condense it then.

1) I was a mission runner for years. I never got ganked, I ran expensive modules. I do not hate mission runners. I do not wish to shame them. I tried educating them with the MTU/drone aggro issue but they spat in my face because they are lazy and dumb. I still run missions every now and then. I havea sensible T2/faciton Vargur fit with a dedpsace module and never ever ever got ganked.

2) You will never ever get ganked if you are willing to put in a tiny minute amount of effert into your fit of your ship and most of the times you will run them faster and more efficiently. I have seen some of the most pathetic fits ever that cost over 6 bill and are less efficient than a T1 BS with T2 modules. You try and help them and they spit in your face. It is a disgrace and they deserve to die.

3) The NUMBERS and FACTS I have supplied show that HS destruction is NOT on the rise but percentage wise on a DECLINE. HS has already been through many, many safety buffs already, including the latest drone aggro fix. Exactly how SAFE do you WANT IT TO BE? The lower you place the bar of entry the lower the quality of people that get in. Have at least some semblance of pride in the game damn you

What you and other people are trying to do is turning this into WOW. A super safe little heaven where no bad bogeymen can get to you. Once this game becomes just another MMO, the numbers will start to decline as people get bored with it. There will be no challenge, there will be no reason to play this game. This game is unique. Both in how brutal it is and how because of that challenge the game has grown year on year for the last 10 years. There is no other MMO even close. WOW is dieing a slow death as it bleeds more and more players because it's just too damn easy and dumbed down. That is from a friend of mine who played WOW since the late 2000s

IF you really care about this game and its players, educate them on how to better themselves. How not to be the victim. Let the dregs that refuse the advice, that refuse to lift a finger to save themselves feed those capsuleers who make the friends and connections and do the research. Those who EARN it. There will always be a fresh supply of hapless HS missioners. Within that pool are those who will stand out above the others and either move on to better things within eve or stay there and better those around them, give people advice on fittings and theory craft, test, and improve. People like you SAY you are.

Stop trying to dumb down the game and rather help those around you become better players, dare I even say better people.

Give a man a fish, feed him for a day, teach a man how not to get eaten by a shark while fishing and feed him for a lifetime.

You can't grow without challenge, without adversity.

ps. You know what I detest the most about the squeaky wheel concept? It doesn't matter if what people are complaining about is valid or not. In fact weather or not it is right or wrong never comes up, only that if you whine load enough, things will go your way.

Sounds like throwing a tantrum to me.

VERY grown up indeed.

I have never played WOW, so I do not get your reference, but I can only assume the Game no longer fits your needs so it must be dying.

I still do missions, not nearly as many as I used to, primarily I do the Epic Arcs every 90 days, and Incursions once or twice a week, all of this in a rather expensive fit ship. I have not been ganked as of yet either. Lucky or good, doesn't matter, as everyone knows or should know that if you are picked there is very little you can do to prevent a gank. Yes, less bling. Yes, don't fly where the rest of the Antelope fly. Yes, don't expect to never get ganked if you are in high sec.

I am not in favour of making the game perfectly safe, but as I have stated so many times before I feel I am going hoarse; It should not be this easy to do a criminal kill and profit in High sec. That's supposed to be the nature of WH, low sec and Nul where you can take what you want and defy anyone to stop you. High sec is to safe for the criminals, and if you agree to follow the 'Rules' of high sec then you are going to be screwed by someone that is not willing to follow those rules.

If someone feels I have wronged them and they are in need of vengeance then they should be able to Gank (Really starting to hate that word) me, but it should not be a profit driven enterprise in High sec. Vengeance should cost the aggressor everything he brings and not provide a means of making ISK. There are three different areas of space that this is perfectly normal and accepted game play, but only one area were it is apparently profitable, High sec.

It's not that big of a change to give the loot to Concord, if gankers still feel they need to teach Carebears lessons they can still gank-a-bear. They just need to go make the ISK to do it somewhere else, after all general consensus is it's too easy to make isk in High sec so the funding should not be a problem, they can run SOE missions.

A "Make Hisec safe" thread coming from the same person who created the elitist Incursion running channel called "Incursion Shiny Network (ISN)".

You deny people from running in your Incursion fleets because they don't meet your high expectations, and now you want to whine because people shouldn't have to meet higher expectations when flying expensive ships in missions? Higher expectations = fitting correctly, watching d-scan, staying off the warp-in, and basically taking steps to not get ganked.

Let CONCORD take the loot and it disappears from the game. This means market traders will be able to increase prices on faction/deadspace items over time. So blingy ships will become even more blingy, and people will still gank them just for the joy of an efficient killboard. The idea of letting CONCORD confiscate the loot just favors market "pvpers".

Couple things you got wrong, I manage ISN I didn't create it. Incursion fleets ask people to do one of two things DPS or Logistics, if you can use T2 Turrets and can't fly a cap stable logi then you don't belong in a fleet. I would deduce you think differently, so when you build a community from scratch you can have as many fail pilots in it as you like. This kind of thinking leads to Everyone gets awarded for mediocrity, not a good strategy for winning.

More importantly, I am not whining. I am pointing to a failure leading to reduced retention of clients. I know it's hard to decipher context from text, so I am pointing out just like many other people in the forums that it is to easy to make ISK by Turret Banking. The minimal Risk/ Max Reward is all on the gank side, add to that it is done with ALT's that only log in moments before the gank is an additional insult. Since they can care less about the sec status they never have to pay for their actions.

We have ALT's for everything nowadays, it is rare to find a player that plays with one account and one Toon in that account, those players are usually carebear types and they are the ones getting murdered for it. While the Gank fleet is PLEX'ing several accounts, all with the stolen ISK and broken High Security.

PS; I like this term 'Turret Banking', Bankers taking everything nowadays and not facing any consequences seems like a great parallel.

First step to the squeaky wheel method is to rabble rouse.

Lies are an effective way of rabble rousing, even if shown to be lies to later, people have already made up their mind.

Regardless as I have already pointed out, not ONLY is there NO evidence offered by you that the above statement is true in ANY way but I have been giving evidence of the exact OPPOSITE.

But since we are on the subject of wild conjecture, it seems a lot more plausible that your proposed change, that will completely eliminate profit driven ganking (turret banking is a horribly inaccurate term), will have even MORE people with all their alts that they plex quit eve.

I Propose that your change will have a bigger negative impact on amount of people playing eve than not implementing your change will supposedly have.

You remember when they removed insurance payout form ships destroyed by Concord? Or how about the more resent aggro changes to drones that already made HS a lot safer and removed older ways people used to get missioners to aggro them.

Also saying that there is NO risk to suicide ganking is just as misleading. The risk is ABSOLUTE, you are garunteed to lose the ship you are using with no insurance payout. Not ONLY that but you have the risk that on AVERAGE 50% of the modules will drop. if you're really unlucky none of the good stuff will drop. There is also the risk that the mission runner will be one of the smart ones and have warp stabs and a depo or have refit to bigger tank since he was scanned leaving the station. That means the risk is far FAR higher than a sensible mission runner will have. In fact a sensible mission runner will never ever be ganked for profit making it 100% risk free. Then theres the security hit that requires time and/or money to fix OR making an alt unusable for anything else HS related. Also becasue you need multiple people you run the risk of someone making off with the loot or even a neutral on a gate making off with the loot. OR how about if the mission runner drops a MTU. That's ANOTHER 50% chance that the loot gets destroyed.

It's a miracle it even happens in the FIRST place.

Lies, misleading statements, half truths. That is all I have seen you spout so far.

You have not given any reason for your proposed changes, only that you want to make HS safer than it already is. WHY?

Because it's not FAIR?

Grow up.

Perhaps you don't get correlative data. Yes pretty pictures with details on what was destroyed where. Make a Venn diagram one sphere has everything destroyed in EVE, another sphere has everything destroyed by ganks, both spheres fall within each other there is no differential to identify the positive or negative impact of letting the Turret Bankers continue flaunting the concept of High Sec.

Your evidence is not in question, it's relevance is.

If that's too difficult to understand, All blurbs are blue, Some wonks are blue, All wonks are blurbs = False

And it's hearsay, not heresy, one is information that may or may not be true and the other is an unorthodox religious opinion.
