EVE General Discussion

I'm closing my accounts for good, High sec ganking Is way to out of control. Iv seen capital ships fall In high sec, I just lost a mining ship to 3 ships. It's BS, I'm not saying it shouldn't be impossible In high sec. But It should be harder, with much higher consequences then a 15 minute time out. And I know why CCP does little to nothing about it's because CCP wants people to loose isk, it keeps people buying PLEX's and keep the market flowing. But this @#$t is unreasonable, Iv seen a gang of 3 people kill 4 people an hour for 3 hours in high sec. As a miner loosing a tech 2 is ALOT of hours down the tube making isk to buy the ship, sh#$ happens i know that. But a group like that and the only worry they have a 15 minute time out @#$ing please. Iv been playing for 4 years and have 2 accounts, but seems recently high sec ganking really picked up. The pirate has little to no risk attacking someone who is just trying to move high value items they worked hours on in to get or make. With CCP saying your sol, yea people that lost their butt off are SOL because you designed the system. I can feel the trolls coming out from under neath their rocks ready to post, and I'm sure people that high sec gank are ready to respond to because they are the ones getting everything from people that play hard to actually make isk in the game while getting crapped on by CCP. It would understand if people that died by pirates were in low sec or null sec they know the risk. CCP favors pirates, the thought of making isk easy with low risk makes it more interesting right..

95% of PvP in this game is the product of excruciating boredom. It's sold as a PvP game, painted as a PvP game but it isn't a PvP game. ISK and asset replacement is 9:1 unless you are doing what these people do. Barf out junk in suicide destruction scenarios.

I can haz your stuff?

Also, holy wall of text, Batman!

Why do we not have a "barfyourlungsout"-emoticon?

The problem with civilization is the same thing that's good about it: It insolates people from the harshness of the physical world, creating enlighted people and weak knee'd smucks who can't handle video game loss all at the same time. Even though the OP is a troll, the fact is that some people are really like this, and it's pitiful.

For eve players I was expecting a better conversation other then your weak Im tougher then you. How is killing a miner tuff? vegetuh is my mining alt, vianoes and iu buu are my mains. And for those of you who talk tough I bet all of you travel in gangs and are at the lower end of the damage on kill mails that does not make you tough. Or killing a mining ship or transport ship, thats like an adult going to a play ground to pick a fight. If anything the pirate killing a miner is the biggest coward for not picking a real fight. All I am saying is that people can go around killing all day in high sec with nothing to worrie about and its BS.

You were in a 0.5 system in an untanked mach, not aligned and most likely AFK.

Why were you mining in a .5 system when you are aware that there's active gankers and the only tank you bothered to fit onto your Mackinaw is a small tech 1 shield booster?
Use a little intelligence my good man.

Peace xxx

P.S. you got podded to. You were afk. Else youd have been like im getting blown up i should start spammin my warpto button huh.

mining veldspar in .5 sec, using a mackinaw, no tank, for some reason wasted rig slots on mercoxit and cap rigs. On the off-chance that this isn't a troll, try this next time:

[Mackinaw, New Setup 1]
Damage Control II
Co-Processor II
Mining Laser Upgrade II

Thermic Dissipation Field II
Kinetic Deflection Amplifier II
Adaptive Invulnerability Field II
Adaptive Invulnerability Field II

Modulated Strip Miner II, Veldspar Mining Crystal I
Modulated Strip Miner II, Veldspar Mining Crystal I

Medium Core Defense Field Extender I
Medium Core Defense Field Extender I

Mine while aligned to station at minimum speed.

Then there's always the Skiff...

OP, if you're not a troll, why do you think you should be 100% safe in highsec, with no need to take steps to protect yourself?

EVE would become very boring and uninteresting if you were 100% safe anywhere no matter what you did (being afk, not fitting any tank, not paying attention to your surroundings, etc.).

If, otoh, you don't think you should be 100% safe, then where's the problem? Don't you think your loss was easily avoidable?


Bottom line:
. EVE isn't 100% safe, that's what makes it great
. Everybody has the tools to avoid being ganked in highsec, it just takes effort


I don't mine but I regularly haul multi-billion cargo in highsec and lowsec, in 18 months I lost just a single hauler, in lowsec, because I willingly took my chances with the mwd+cloak trick at a gate I knew that was camped (got unlucky and spawned right next to a baddie).
