EVE General Discussion

Fixed that for you.

On a note of fighting a wardecer, Remiel Pollard is right, certain members of Merc corps are hilariously predictable.


Go to fight war target on station, Shoot at WT, WT docks, comes out in Vindi.

There are a myriad of ways to counter this. And this sort of sequences of events happens all the time. Wardeccers love dem Vindi's.


Wartarget camps a station with a insta-locked Thrasher.


Warp in at range with a Naga/Tornado Alpha him into obvious oblivion, < I've done this multiple times, getting the same person four times.


Also Corps that blanket dec have a supreme disadvantage when it comes to trade hub camping. It is really hard to keep up on 'local chat situational awareness" In places like Amarr and Jita. You wouldn't be able to tell when you have ten wartargets of a corp jumping into system to merc you, or they're just so happens ten random people along with the all the other wartargets.

Almost as fun as contradicting yourself in the same post, but yes, nonetheless, incredibly fun. My entire intent is fun, and I'm going to have as much fun with you as I can squeeze out of you, because you made your own hostile intent quite plain the moment you started posting without reading the forums and addressing the points and ideas that have been made, you've just made blanket dismissals and been argumentative for it's own sake.

Now, what's say we all calm down, have a bacon and cheese toasted sandwich (I only have Colby in the fridge but the bacon I assure you is properly cured and quite grease-free), and talk about Scrabble. Because you lost this thread the moment you ignored it, and ignorance is easy to beat at Scrabble.

I just logged out of the game. The fit I use is on the EVE subreddit somewhere, I believe.

The trick to missioning during a wardec is to have a flight of ECM drones, and a Micro Jump Drive. Just micro jump as soon as you hit the mission pocket, so that even if you get probed down they have to close 100km worth of distance. Which is sufficient time for even a battleship to warp off to safety if they have to. The ECM drones are to break a tackle if you get caught on a gate by someone with a scram. Then you just cycle the jump drive and warp off again, anytime you get a fight you don't like. (which, with 1380 dps with the heat on, is not often)

That's how you're supposed to avoid PvP. Not by pushing a button and spending a few million isk.

The only reason that happens is the whining that goes on. Stop whining and accept the consequences or find another game if it's too much for you. Maybe instead of avoiding the inevitable accept the other persons play style and defend yourself.

You know a guy is worried that his argument doesn't work when all he has left is scare mongering.

CCP didn't die when the game was harsher, and it won't die is CCP makes their game design more internally consistent.

Whenever will people learn that 'protectionism' (in the game sense) doesn't work in sandbox games. you (and apparently some at CCP) think they are doing people a favor when they seek to protect them from bad things when in reality all you really do is make people MORE susceptible to bad things.

It's like helicopter parenting. They think they are keeping their kids safe when all they are really doing is denying their kids the opportunity to develop internal coping mechanisms. So instead of the kid growing up to be a good person, they grow up to be a neurotic basket case that can't recognize or deal with everyday dangers and conflicts.

People who would quit over a sane war dec scheme are the same people who would quit under almost any circumstance, where as the same sane wardec scheme would be a retention device for people actually suited to EVE Online (because real EVe player don't quit till they get their revenge).

Worrying about losing subs is a great way to create a game that loses subs. Go ask Star Wars Galaxies...if you could.

I've seen hypocritical double standards before but ths takes the cake. You JUST posted telling people what corps they should and should not war dec.

I don't war dec people. Still, people should not be so easily able to avoid conflict in a video game about conflict.

So wait. Keeping all of your active, in-space characters exclusively in NPC corps and only using player corps for alts that never undock, you think that's the right way for highsec corps to work?

PvP is not all shooting. You can subscribe to this PvP game and never fire a gun.

Don't be obtuse.

Having a genuine business model, interacting with other players on a large scale, and setting and achieving goals is doing it right.



And? CCP has said it themselves, in no uncertain terms. Here, I'll paraphrase it for you.

The intent behind this game is that if you don't bother to defend yourself, you should get used to being food.
