It's unusual for the trap to be at the delivering station, as you could chance to warp into docking range or have made a docking bookmark (which I suggest you do in the future). How close to station were you when you left warp?

Proper "WTZ" bookmarks on the station.

They (generall) also make really good cyno spots in low.

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

Give the gankers some credit.

First they found somebody stupid enough to fall for their courier contract. Then they waited just before you docked as that is when you are most vulnerable .

You see you can make insta undocks, you can warp whilst cloaked, you can make afe spots until they come out of your ass but you can not do anything to make the docking process quicker.

Once you land on station, you will de-cloak and your barely moving.. basically a sitting duck. The gankers basically have a few seconds to make you go boom and that is all they need.

Not going to say anything else as True Sight has covered it

Well played to them Big smile


Extra credit as they probably picked a station that is notorious for docking range too...

- Yup, dead-end system down quite a pipe so they knew you were coming
- Yup, 4 stations in Ono with horrible docks/undocks :)

Good job them!

So...a battleship locked and alpha you in the time between when your covops cloak deactivated and you docked in station? Huh. That sucks.
CCP doesn't need to do anything, sorry.
Bounties don't really mean much...again, sorry.

EDIT: Oh, a Tornado not a BS - ok, that makes more sense. Still, should have taken more precaution with 7 bil...

Last night my hauling ship got blown sky high. I was flying a prorator and doing some deliveries. The person that shot me down organised it really well by setting up contracts and sucking in the person accepting the contract. I wont go into detail here. As i was making the delivery and just 1 second from being docked into station my ship got blown sky high. From what ? a minmitar Battleship that was so many km's away. It took 2 people to stop me.

I keep hearing that ccp wil be doing something about this. I've just had enough of it. Seriously I'm trying to find some fun in this game and seeing that the others always have the edge over miners and haulers in high sec is a real joke. I don't mind if it had happened in low sec and null but when your playing by ccp rules to me it seems there are no rules and high sec is really a joke.

At the very least give miners and haulers some big guns like you give others and maybe will balance things well.

The two that got me are "Luukje" and "Natural CloneKiller". I put up a big bounty on Luk so enjoy your hunting.

cheers





You're an embarrasment to your alliance. Stop moaning.

Protect me from knowing what I don't need to know. Protect me from even knowing that there are things to know that I don't know. Protect me from knowing that I decided not to know about the things that I decided not to know about. Amen.

Duchess......

First off, CCP (concord) does not protect. It only punishes in hi-sec.
You are responsible for your protection in this game. Which means a combination of experience, wits, skills, luck, fittings, etc etc.
Which all takes some time to learn.

Now, I will be kind, because I will give you the benefit of the doubt that you are new. But this game is not for the feint hearted.
You need to learn and adapt from whatever happens in this game, if you don't, you will just end up being tears.

Its a guarantee that ship/isks losses will occur to you in this game. So instead of whining about it, smarten up, learn how to avoid or at least lessen your chances of ganks. I too was a noob, but I learned and adapted to the game, and have made billions since.
And none of it from pvp :P

Hopefully you will learn and adapt. otherwise you will eventually rage quit :)

This forum has DEV and GM tags when those people post. Can we get a "this guy is playing the wrong game" tag for easier navigation as well? That way we know what posts to not read.

They already did. Welcome to EVE and the meta game.

How about this; create some insta-undocks - problem solved.

EVE is about ongoing adapting and problem-solving.

wait, you heard this from CCP, or the whiners like you?

also, this belongs in C&P.


either way, I have no sympathy for you since you:

a) fell for one of the oldest tricks in the book

b) didn't tank your ship properly.

You can get around this with
- an insta-undock off-grid (especially in the major trading hub systems)
- using a cloaky Blockade Runner

What EVE makes great is the fact that you must fail (several) times to see this as a chance to learn and adapt. I am running an hauler alt for ages and lost two times my ship
- autopilot in hi-sec
- no insta-undock in Jita

Some day I might lose the third one. Who knows? But believe me: there will be no post about it Twisted
