Crime & Punishment

So in other words you're going to teach them how to not play the game? You masterful trollish bastard you. Why not actually give them some good advice? I recently sent an alt through the tutorials, and you know, to be honest it wasn't half bad. Aura actually warned me about asshats like me. The guy in the advanced military tutorial sent me off to my death. It was explained to me that other players might want to widen my sphincters. In other words, even those who coded that crap were in the loop when it came to people doing the whole 'surprize... buttzechz!' thing were fully aware of it happening.
If you really want to help new players out, teach em that EVE is like poker. You only bring to the table what you're willing to lose. Play to win, but have fun doing so. And ultimately, have a little grace while doing so.
If you ask questions after losing about what went wrong, most pvp'ers will be happy to answer honestly, and give advice on how to not have it happen again in the future.

Of course this falls on deaf ears. You've already earned at least one murder in your name due to being a willfully obtuse asshat, but you know, that's how things go around here.

No, I'm going to teach them how to play the game the way they want to play it more effectively, which itself is good advice. There's no right or wrong way to play the game, as long as you enjoy doing it. Some people enjoy shooting other people, some enjoy shooting red crosses, some enjoy stripmining asteroids, some enjoy working with spreadsheets and logging on once a week to update orders. Whatever a player chooses to do in this game, if they enjoy doing it I support it. You need to get over the idea that what you do is right and everyone else is just playing the game wrong.

Why? It's not like poker. It's a full deck and they can play it like solitaire if they want, they just need to lay the cards out right. I can show them how to do that.

Meanie. I don't wanna!

A high sec undock is one of the worst places you can possibly be if you are below -5 sec status. If you see a -5 or less player undocking in high sec ~100% chance they are in an interceptor, a T1 frigate, a shuttle, a noobship or a pod and they are not going to suicide you in any of those. The reason they use those is because they ABSOLUTELY MUST get off of that undock fast, especially if the system is heavily populated as anyone can point them without cause or penalty and the faction police will do it if you don't.

To compound this even the gate/station guns in low sec will not help a -5 player if you attack them, EVER. The guns will always help everyone else attacked by a pirate. Low sec status players consent to live in what is essentially null without bubbles regardless of the sec status of the system they are in (assuming they don't actually go to null sec), except that they will always be outnumbered when fighting on gates unlike null.

I even got into a fleet fight with another low sec group on a high sec gate several months ago and being in their home system they started to reship to beat us forcing us to deaggress and jump into high sec to not lose the whole fleet. Many of our ships were damaged and we lost 3 ships to the faction police/CONCORD since we were not in small ships and two players had killed pods. The few jumps getting back to another low sec system we lost a Guardian to some guy who tackled it on a gate in a busy system. So in case you aren't getting it, high sec is much more dangerous for me than low sec is, by a substantial margin. There are already substantial penalties for having low sec status in high sec.

I would point out that, while you can show up to a poker table and say that you're playing solitaire, that doesn't mean the other guys stop playing poker.

Scouting the system you're about to jump into first before jumping in isn't rocket science - unless you're lazy, on autopilot, asinine, exuding false confidence about being safe or just oblivious to the perils of space.

The odds of misfortune occuring after jumping into a system blind mutliply many times over.

Your scout having known ganking groups set red would certainly make it difficult to spot the ugly fate potentially awaiting you in the next system, no sarcasm intended.

Outwith that making sure your permits for the space activities you engage in are up to date and valid is also probably a prudent idea.

People who complain about loses in "safe" space really probably only have themselves to blame for woefully inept in-action with regards to self protection measures.

May as well wear a bacon rasher birthday suit and enter a pit of hungry hyenas expecting not to get biten.

What good are kill rights against criminals? You can already attack them for being a criminal. The problem is that they can dock in a station in a system where they are banned. I say stop letting criminals dock in highsec. Let other players actually have a chance to try and hunt them down. Don't prevent them from ganking though. They are providing us with more content. We need villains around.

They're not banned from any system, if they were they wouldn't be in the system in the first place, let alone be able to dock.

All this would do is make it harder for newbies without multiple accounts and armies of alts to get into piracy. More seasoned players like myself will just shrug and circumvent this nuisance easily.

Congratulations, you just made EVE less attractive for noobs, exactly what this game needs.

I want to see harder punishment against people who are unable to use that weird thing looking like this "." ...
