EVE General Discussion

As a miner you shouldn't. If your corp's leadership isn't bothered enough to protect the miners earning the corporation profit, you shouldn't be bothered enough to stick around.

If you mine and not much more, don't join player corps. EVE PvP is a game of kill or be killed. Even the 100K tank of a Skiff is going to fall eventually if it's tackled and forced to fight to the death.

Your question was answered ten years ago. Don't do it.

That sentence is incorrect. The corporation you have chosen to join may not be able to protect you in any way, but there are quite a few low sec 0.0 corporations that can.

Please do not smear a whole segment of the game through your own poor choices.

Last time I was in a player corp it was a lowsec industrial corp, and they did a fine job of protecting us. It was just a case of making friends with everyone who might have wanted to shoot us.

Im starting to see the problem here.

Go on..

Did you ever actually move to Low/Null?


WarDecs are only important in HS.

Ditto on what the gentleman beneath your original post said. For example, our alliance recently moved to null sec and set up home in a rental system. Sure, it was a rough go at first (we lost too many barges, mainly due to pilot inattentiveness), but we're getting to the point where we've got security during busy hours and we watch local like a hawk.

As a miner myself, when you're in low/null, a few things. Stay aligned to your POS or station as applicable and watch local like a hawk. Soon as you see a neut pop in, warp to your pos or station. And use either a Procurer or Skiff, far more survivable. I love the Hulk and the Mack for different reasons, but without REALLY good security, I don't bring either out.

And if you're interested in jumping to a new corp, allow me to direct you here: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=338476&find=unread

I haven't come across any.... and I've killed a LOT of miners in low/0.0.
There is just nothing you can do to protect an afk miner from a quick raiding party that pops out of a wormhole - they are gone before you can form a fleet.

The best protection you have is yourself. Watch intel, watch local, don't be afk.

Mind something, if you are a null miner in a proper corp / alliance that actually protect their miners, you are safer in null than in high sec.

I've seen a CODE. post here talking about their code and such, however buying their permit wont make you any safer, and do you know why? Not because CODE. wont honor the mining permit, but because they are not the only ones ganking miners in high sec.

Check a random killboard, zkillboard is fine at example, and then check the exhumers kills; you wont see that much CODE. as you would expect.

On top of this High Sec has war decs that keep you out of the mining for a while (unless you are in a npc corp), you do need to own a PoS to compress or refine (and this require you to be in a corp, so under war dec possibility), you can get ganked while hauling, you can have can flippers.... the list goes on. In null or WH you can spend litteraly days without see anyone beside your corp / alliance mates.

High Sec is not a safe zone, it's just another pvp space that follows different rules of engagement, and it's virtually as dangerous as any other space.

@OP Echoing the others that said to ignore New Order and go to null as a miner. If I ever reactivated my mining character there is no way in hell I would mine in hisec. With the amount of skills you have, it shouldn't be too difficult to find a good null corporation that would accept you.
