To be fair, a keyboard is not required to watch a movie, and tablets don't have one.

Are you a forum alt? Have you ever wondered why your experience on the forums is always so frustrating and unrewarding? This may help.

My god that's brilliant.

HAIL CHRIBBA!

Everything in EVE is a trap.

And if it isn't, it's your job to make it a trap...:)

If you're going to autopilot in High Sec, use a large tanked warship. Something that can't get blown up by a Thrasher before Concord shows up.

I'm not saying you should autopilot, but if you're going to, make it impossible for gankers to destroy your ship without a gang of friends- and if they're at a gate, chances are they won't have that gang of friends. It's not full proof, but at least it's less likely to happen.

All the world's a stage and all the men and women are the players.

No need to go for a warship.
You can trivially make the updated DSTs reach 100k+ EHP entirely passively and still retain a massive cargo capacity.

Just like some people can't resist trolling ^, some people are born douch bags.

Don't feed the troll, don't feed the douch bag.

This is terrible advice.

When you land offgate (as you do when autopiloting), all it takes is someone to bump you off-course (and out of range of the gate guns, thereby buying the gankers a little more time) and a fleet to warp in on top of you.

The Mittani is full of ALODs generated by idiots thinking it was impossible to get ganked.

PS gankers do fly bigger ships than destroyers, you know.

I use autopiloting all the time in HS. Seriously, are you expecting me to make those 5-7 hauling runs in Epithal from dodixie to hek every week while atk? Or moving my bs to the other part of empire for some cosmos/epic arc mission, while jumping to gates manually? Sorry, my mental health is much more precious to me than any of these assets.

You said the magic word.... Hek.

You have been noted.

Thank you for your support.

I have done that. I have also had a movie playing on my laptop (closed) in the car and listened to it while on long trips.

"EvE, where any playstyle is OK, as long as it conforms to CODE scamming"


People target AFK-ers and high sec miners because it is the easiest way to claim they 'PvP' without actually taking any risk. It is another form of carebear.

I was there long before CODE,
saying the same things as CODE,
without the douche baggery.

If you AP you die, because you willfully ignore your environment.

You are simple minded.

If I ever saw Cannibal Kane using an autopilot Id call BS on my eyes

In what way would he be disagreeing with me?

The way where you are quoted as saying auto piloting was non-playing. Just like afk cloaking in non-playing. To use your own analogy.

Oh btw!

Yesterday I killed a passively tanked, autopiloting vigil.
He had 2.1k raw HP according to the killmail.

Certainly safe against a fully gank fitted t2 280mm thrasher ...
... but my tripple-volley thrasher does more damage than that.

Tank your frigates, people... above 2.5k at least........... (:

I personally never use AP (but then again, I lived in high sec for less than a month in my EvE career), but that doesn't change the fact that ganking AFKers and miners is what people do when they want to feel like they PvP without actually taking any risk.

It is by far the easiest/most boring thing to do in the game. No one who enjoys a challenge bothers ganking in high sec.

You certainly haven't seen Mew.

Who cares about all these lesser wannabe tough guys anyway.

Come to Hek, I'll kick your candy ass you inexperienced wannabe.
