Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Basically, you used a smartbomb in highsec and hit another ship, and as a result got concordokken. It really wouldn't matter if the ship you hit was a frigate or a battleship, you actively hit another ship. It's not an exploit of game mechanics on their part, it's a lack of careful use of your weapons. The fact that you had to disable your safety only further exacerbates this point.

As for getting ganked in a 3b hauler, well, that's also your fault, to be honest. Why would you load that much into a hauler? That's asking to get killed. As someone who claims to PvP in lowsec, I would assume that you understand that most PvP in EvE is non-consensual. So I'm unsure how you thought that being in highsec would change that. Highsec isn't safe by any stretch, and it's not supposed to be. While I would argue that there may be some problems with the way highsec space works (namely the lack of ability to adequately respond to non-criminal aggression in some circumstances), the responsibility for getting ganked while flying something akin to a pinata solely rests on you. Decrease the reward part of the Risk:Reward ratio for making you explode, don't skew it hugely in the reward direction and then argue that there isn't enough risk.

OP buys the char, makes themselves look foolish, posts with alts and tries to deflect their failure, then sells the char.

You couldn't make this sh*t up.

got tired of trying to explain it, so changed my signature just for peeps like the OP.

funny thread though.

no one is forcing you to fly a gank magnet, any lvl4 mision can be achieved using a T1 BS with a t2 fitting.

you CHOOSE to pimp it, cause you want to run it faster, that is YOUR choice, now face it's consequences.

eve is a game of choices, when i gank someone in low, i accept the consequences, in a form of potential death and SS hit, resulting in my toon unable to go in high unless in a shuttle, i MADE that choice.

same goes for you, you CHOOSE to fly expansive, you then become a potential ganker tgt.

also, i did ran mission in a partly officier fit machariel (worth 2.5+ B at the time) for 2 years, prior to the safety and all crap, i NEVER got ganked, some tried, they failed(one time from a few HP, i ended with 20% struct left :p), but i knew from day one i was exposing myself to loosing this ship to gank, so i took mesures, learned how mechanics worked, to avoid issues.

this is how you eve.
