Crime & Punishment

I have a very hard time taking CODE. seriously.

I mean, an hour or two in the minerbumping in-game channel and I'm laughing my butt off. They're hysterical.

I left the chicken on the back porch. I threw in a pair of sheep skin pants because it didn't survive the process. (Your current sheep pants appear to be almost worn out)

I actually don't know who CODE are. I've never seen one in space in the areas where I live, or if I have he didn't live long enough for it to register.

I assume they are the kind of high-sec griefers who wardec helpless indy corps and then walk around all chest-stuck-out because they killed an empty hauler on the jita undock?

That's the impression I get, in any case. Is this about right?

Rayo,

Content is content. If a group (whose name will not be mentioned here due to being completely unknown in the vast expanse of New Eden further than 200km from the Jita undock) creates content for themselves and their victims, then this is content.

Years ago, before high-sec ganking became the new norm in griefing, there was a corp (alliance?) called BL3H (The United),. who camped the "short" pipe from Jita to Hek 24/7. They were legendary. There were also a few other legendary pirate corps at the time but none with the reputation of BL3H.

In fact, in 2005, our corp moved to Rorsins with the lofty ambition of ridding EVE from BL3H. I'll spare you a couple of years of history but suffice it to say that after a 2-1/2 year skirmish, BL3H were still there and while we learned a LOT in the process, all of our pilots (about 100 in total) had moved on to nullsec... and a few had defected to BL3H.

BL3H were unstoppable because they are like your OCD cousin who doesn't think about what they are learning, only about what they are doing. For a corp like ours, we couldn't compete with that kind of mental focus. We simply didn't have enough autistics in our corp.

But hell.... did THEY create content!

To this day I look back on that period as being important in learning how EVE works. BL3H (I believe) may be still doing the same thing they were back in the day, and although they now come across to me as being hopeless noobs, they are also indirectly responsible for catapulting our corp into a period of 8 years of continuous nullsec play.

That is content!

Likewise CODE may eventually reach a point where they are known beyond the borders of the Jita undock. Although I don't know who they are, I do appreciate, and will defend, their right to create content in their own way. The fact that someone posted about them on the forums is already proof that the ripples they are making could form eddies that influence future generations of EVE players.

T-

Very rarely are CODE. pilots camping on stations. They typically patrol a span of systems, and explode miners or freighters. Not really campers.

However, a few corps also roam in lowsec.

lol

The ignorance in this thread has reached astounding.

Ima, its not the faction police that you can't tank, its the corporate police. Faction police are can easily tanked corporate police cannot.

Tinu, it's obvious you have no idea what you are talking about and are sad your BR got blapped on the Jita undock. Please educate yourself before you continue on making yourself look foolish.

Non CODE. folks should try hopping on TS with them when they have a freighter fleet up. They welcomed me with open arms, even though I was actively trying to rain on their parade at the time. It was surprisingly coordinated, and nothing at all like "press F1, repeat". It sounded more like a nullsec fleet fight than the band of stark-raving loonies I was expecting.

Nope, sorry. My hauler alt already has one. Ironically enough, it does work. I've flown right past CODE. bumping alts simply by being at the keyboard and following every single method I've found on how to not get ganked, which includes having a permit.

2 years flying a Charon, and not one single freighter loss. It pays to fly smart, and to spend roughly 1% of a single haul for a year of CODE. leaving me alone.
