An all expanded freighter w/ only 2 PLEX in the hold was purified in the Holy Anti-matter tonight. And we're the bad guys?


Damn right you are! This is a game about non-consentual violence of internet pixels, by which I mean anyone else's but mine - I want to play solo and be left alone.


OMG, is the Elder Scrolls server down!?!

See how I used "Holy Anti-matter" there? Just like you taught me! \o/

Serious Question -

What would happen to the people that take the time to build freighters if noone needed to buy new ones because nothing was getting blown up?

Wed be churning out carriers and dreadnaughts in lowsec instead


No you wouldnt. You would start tearing up as you lose more and more trying to get your carebear stuff to lowsec. Then you would come in here crying another story of how unfair life in Eve is.

I ran a dinky pos for 6 months in amarr lowsec while I ground faction standing in Caldari hisec and frankly because I found it safer to stay in my little lowsec corner than to try and deal with hisec. The only time I ever died was when i was packing up and heading out for the Forge. I finally got a gate camp that popped in just after I clicked jump.

Then before that i was out in minmatar lowsec getting to die in my drake. Lowsec is easy if you are willing to go around for a place and make many trips or a few friends.

Good memories, shame my CEO actually did die and I had to leave that place. Remember CEOs, having a director or some one who can become CEO is good succession planning

Actually,"you" do, but hey I bet you don't use scouting altseither, right? (:

Seriously how daft do you think people actually are?

I can only speak for myself, but I would say we simply have better things to do than creating fake tear-threads on the forums. Things like killing Exhumers and Freigthers.

Do you really think it is so unlikely that among the hundreds of dead miners and Freighter pilots are some who feel the need to cry on the forums about us? After all, this is the group of players with the most people who think they can opt-out of PvP in a game that is all about PvP.

To answer the OP: No, it hasn't.

Idea: Rename "High Security Space" to something else. The current name gives bears the wrong impression.

Most suicide gankers are just chestbeating carebears hiding inside the station
until they undock in a group, strike and vanish again.

Make CCP nerf the cowards and the game will change.

Until then you have to live with these cowards.



I agree criminals with bad standing -0.1 to -10 shot not able to dock ore enter Highsec no more ore make concord inst shot to the criminal with - standing.

CCP you THREATENED EVE players not to do the damage exploit ore you will. (We consider this a serious exploit and abuse of it will not be tolerated. There will be repercussions for any user engaging in this activity until the issue is fixed, and this will be our only warning regarding the problem.)

Ok we fully understand and we follow the rule but when EVE players support ticket ore post new thread regarding Ganking ore other mane issues NOTING IS FIX. ok i don t mine noting but some off the issues are ignored.

I disagree. Not allowing people to dock just because they shot other players in a PVP-game is the stupidest idea ever. What's next, forbidding chess players from moving their queen if they could harm an enemy pawn?

The drone exploit has absolutely nothing to do with the subject at hand which is suicide ganking.

CCP won't do anything to stop suicide ganking because they do not consider it to be an exploit. As Eve is their product their word on the matter is final.

Suicide ganking currently happens a lot less than all the screaming and shouting would suggest. As a profession it has been nerfed repeatedly, so far into the ground that it's 6ft under and wearing a wooden overcoat, since the days of mOo back in '03. If people keep whining about it then groups such as MiniLuv and CODE. will continue to up their game. MiniLuv in particular has huge resources (ie Goonswarm and associates) to draw upon, I'm pretty sure they would love to make highsec a living hell for the whiners, and probably already have a plan in place to do so.

If people want to see something done about it, then they have to do it themselves. CCP are not going to change fundamental game mechanics to turn highsec into a fluffy lala land with no sharp edges or pointy objects to placate the inept and careless.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

Yeah, in this case they will or did fix the game. What you suggest would break the game and will therefore probably not happen.
