Ganking and bumping miners never gets old. It's the source of endless joy, buckets of tears and piles of ISK.

While I do feel bad for our good indy pilots out there, I must admit that I laugh in glee at what's about to happen to all the bad ones.

You do still have the Orca, which with the hull rigs will be nigh invincible.

That's true, I suppose. I'm trying to think what there will be in highsec that will be harder to blow up. Some of the more bonkers T3 setups and the Damnation, maybe?

Pilot Nerun, LET me remind you sir, that in the coming time the tables will be turned on you and your kind. Now lets get down to the matter of WHY miners perform an absolute function in Eve ok??

We all have started from day One (1) in a little rookie ship of some sort. Where do you think that rookie ship came from?? Did it just appear magically out of the vacumn of space?? Did the gods said here, take this and get started?? Did you or I have to BUY that first little ship to get started in a path to which we were relegated to??

In today's climate, ganking is as old as Eve itself I'm sure and some things never change, and never will. I am however pretty convinced that after witnessing many attacks on miners that you so graciously "ENJOY" the aftermath of a kill in Hisec. I am sure your killboard reflects that as well. I am convinced sir that as far as you are concerned you go to bed at night with absolutely no remorse for your actions, sure it's just a game mind you but sometimes ingame attitudes gets taken back to reality and from there who knows.

When one such as you kill a mining ship and pod kill the miner, I am sure you are overjoyed to get very little out of the wrecks if anything at all save for implants and hard wiring. I am sure you are so overcome with joy when the miner raises the roof with you in local and that you just sit there at your computer laughing at the fool you are. I am sure you're fattening your wallet everytime you act in the matter to which you have publicly displayed.

As far as I'm concerned, the subject of this discussion is pretty well relevant and you sir made a fool of yourself. Think about the questions I asked, no response, just think.

saw this in another thread;Same thing with mining. While mining they do run the risk of being bumped or suicide ganked, but on average this chance is low for any individual mining ship in HiSec. If for instance suicide ganking became too prevalent, then mining would cease to be profitable and people would stop mining. Simple as that.

Ah, the Damnation. The very definition of "over tanked".

So let me get this right...

"The Great Blue Donut", that you helped create, in no way provides enough income for you?

I just wish I had the need to either fly or rent a freighter.

If the changes to the ships lead to more engaging game-play, then it has to be a good move by CCP.

If ganking stopped a huge number of people from mining it would actually make it more profitable, not less. That would require an astronomical increase in the amount of mining ships going boom, though.

That, or finally banning ISBoxer.

Actually, if CCP were to stop the ganking of miners in hi-sec, then it would be a disaster as hi-sec would simply die of boredom.

I know I was disappointed too but my window of typing between doing actual work is always tight and I couldnt think of a better link quick enough

The freighter nerf will destroy some of the popcorn I have saved up for this Gankergeddon that has been prophecised for so very very long. Cry

I actually have to "do things" in order to "get ISK".
My problem is that I'm lazy, not that I don't have the resources available to me.
