Warfare & Tactics

tl;dr cause they can.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

<3 Chicken Little/Sky Is Falling posts.

Maybe you haven't noticed but 0.0 is already a LOT like empire.

It was my butt and I wasn't even a year old!

*sniff*

Well, first and foremost the OP is using a flawed premise (eve as rl) , which, in turn, can only lead to faulty set of conclusions.

Splitting the eve players in two categories is ofc, oversimplyfing things, but for the sake of the argument, I'll do it. There are the butterflies, who come to the sandbox to seek new thrills, new experiences, and do things that they could/would not do irl. And then there are the nesters. People who even in a game feel the need to build, to be nice, to work hard and put emhapsis on the same set of values that dominate their real life. Or more simply put, there are the people with enthusiasm and creativity, and then there are ppl with the imaginative capabilities of a brick.

Now, of course that the former will look at the latter and say : " You tards are doing a repetitive boring work in a video game, proving that your iq is well below room temperature in celsius", and ofc they are gonna be answered with : "you disfunctional sociopaths can't do anything else other than ruin ppl's work".

But this is where the equality in the debate ends. Because where the creative players challenge themselves to find new ways to wage this conflict, the little working ants just mumble some insults about how everyone who doesn;t play the game the way they think it should be played is a bastard, and then go back to doing what they were doing. I could go for a big ending phrase for my ramblings, but nothing that I could come up with would match Helicity's rant , so I'll leave you with that.

During the 2142 era we called it Jihading. No one ever expected the speeder full of RDX to come sliding sideways into whatever crevice they were hiding in.

Also, despite being a highsec kinda guy I see no reason for them to stop suicide ganking. Just means I have to be more careful of what I haul to and from Jita. Lost a badger a while back from a pair of Canes (pre-Crucible) and it didn't bother me. Just made me make sure to find a safer way to haul valuables.

Also while I won't fund it, I have nothing against those who gank miners. They keep complaining that it gets boring so they have no right to complain about getting ganked. Makes them get out of the ship for once.

Perhaps. If I ever get upset about anything written on a forum I will let you know.

As a miner, I didn't like gankers at first.

Then I realized, that if I ganked, there would be less people mining my ore.

It was just the economical decision to make.

Because miners are irrelevant to me since the vast majority of minerals I consume are mined from drone rats. **** miners, they are dumb and fat and ugly and nobody likes them.

But don't you get bored after 3 pages?
It isn't that difficult in a Tornado apparently and I didn't see you get concorded.
That impressed me -- with your sec status and pulling it off in n a .7, repeatedly.
I'm guessing you switch to a cheap ship, get popped, rinse and repeat -- so the cops can return to their donuts.
Regardless, the kills are impressive'; but I think it would be more fun if you were tackled occassionally

Glad you're enjoying the change of pace. Fuel block prices are up, too \o/.

Note to miners: Be aligned if this guy is in system.

its kind of necessary this gets done imo. At least the trade off between yield / tank, and alertness / ignoring/botting means something when the tanks are being tested by ganking. Its meaningless without players attacking hulks, because the game just does not exercise exhumers at all in highsec in any other sense than yield.

Did anyone field an exhumer that survived your 2 destroyers, or was it 29 attempts, 29 kills ?
