EVE General Discussion

No but in the larger scope, it would be if enough miners were blown-up. The suicide ships is not created out of thin air. A metric ass ton of ganks need to happen to see a real change but in theory, it "will" happen if the system is pushed far enough.

If turning on a mining laser were to self destruct your ship, stockpiles would be likely depleted in six to eight months, assuming that ship loss did not otherwise decline.

OP, it's YOU who brought the tears to the party. Just keep crying and it'll fill up soon enough.

This.

But make it a surprise.. because hIghsec LOVES surprises!

When I first started eve, 10 years ago, I attempted pvp and pve. Both was not really thing. It was suggested, off handly that I try mining. So I did, and in 10 min I feel madly in love with it and with eve.

What I enjoy about mining, is the simplicity. If I had a hard day at work, a hard week, or I just want to chat and make some iskies, I toss on a miner and go mine. I can then recruit, chat, run corp or alliance affairs, and not really pay attention to what is going on.

Also the pretty colors of the lazors at times is memsmerizing. And the sound (when I play eve with sound) is a good way to lull my mind into relaxing and calming down.

These days, I do a lot of random boring task, but I find them enjoyable. Things liking running a pos, recruiting, mining, are all fun. Sure they don't get my blood pumping, but sometimes you don't want an action flick, you just want to sit on a beach drink a beer and listen to the waves as they crash onto the sand over and over.

That's what mining is. Thouse few moments in life, when you don't want a lot going on, you just want to kick back and chill.

I mined for 1 year straight, and do it off and on now. All forms of mining, rock, gas, ice same thing. Its calming. Even if I mine in hs, which is rare, and get bumped for not paying the 'code' (which can still kiss my ass btw) its a meh moment, cause usually I am mellow as a cucumber by that time anyway.

There is a simplistic beauty in mining.

Just as there is a beauty in making a ship explode into dust and collecting tears. I just like to mellow out without my blood pounding in my ears hehe

*edit opps misquoted. dunno who said the original quote, sorry about that

For some reason a bunch of posts in this thread disappeared, including one of mine. It was up to five pages.

I have removed some rule breaking posts and those quoting them. As always I let some edge cases stay.
Please people, keep it on topic and above all civil!

26. Off-topic posting is prohibited.

There is a simplistic beauty to be found everywhere in EvE. Even in the fact that EvE is not simplistic...

I heard there is another one bonus to unlock, players in game must spin ships 10 Trillion times to achieve this. It will be a new rotatotron module that spins your ship automatically in station.

It could be written about all over the place and I'm sure it will still come as a surprise to many haulers. Always good for a laugh.
