EVE General Discussion

Having just posted about a freighter save in the c&p forum, it made me thinking about an escort service in high sec.

I have always wanted a jump freighter myself but never been in the right corp or group, one guy said you don't need more than one account to have one if you have friends, so thinking about setting up an escort service with shield reps Ships 1st.
I know Trust is a thing in eve but some do get it, the chubby guy in amarr (sorry can't find his name if that's wrong) and the freighter people red frog, so I know it has to be earned.

So what do you think to 1) rep ship escort in gank areas 2) emergency jump outs for jump freighters (once the Trust thing is worked out)

Just fishing for ideas and feed back.


Good time escort girls, will rep for kicks...... or gankers tears.?

I must be one of the lucky ones, I have friends I can trust, In the past I was in a corp that had corp cap Ships that went OK , not one loss to a scammer, mind you, you had to put the time in to make it, so Trust was earned and yes some people got turned down to fly them, anyway just saying not all people are low life scum bags out to screw you.

I don't know if this thread is filled with morons or hypocrites, asking OP to let Corp/ alliance members to light cyno for him!! same of you will tell him never trust anyone in eve if he started a thread complaining that Corp member led him to a trap. These forum warriors have ready statement for every thread in this forums..Jeez.

is the OP not a goon or lap dog renter alliance , if i'm wrong sorry

Sorry, but what do you want? Safety? Pay for it!
You are wardect? Get some guys from your corp to escort you ship. Wheres the difference between wardect in Highsec and living Nullsec?

A jumpfreighter has it's requirements that normal freighters don't. Nobody is forcing you to use a jumpfreighter. On a large scale this game is about teamplay and a jumpfreighter is almost the definition large scale.

As others have said, no one is forced to have an alt. You can do the same things with friends. And the OP seems to be whining about not being able to solo ferry a capital sized hauling ship across New Eden without having more than one account.

But, to play the Devil's Advocate, the deeper point is true: EVE Online may not force you to use alts but it sure is designed to make alts more useful and more trust-worthy than real life friends and this is probably for business reasons.

Friends may not be online when you need them. Friends might be busy or too far way in-game to help. Friends might be space-traitors leading you into a trap. When I got my 1st alt I was honestly amazed at how much easier the game became, which eventually lead me to my current situation of 4 accounts. I have so much flexibility and freedom in how and where I play the game it's crazy. Cloaky Camp me all you like, I'll just run incursions...

Not saying I mind it at all, I like how EVE allows us to play more than one character at a time (and makes it so easy in so many ways, like drone assign, fleet warping and FoF missiles). So much so that when I play other games and am forced to play "one dude at a time" it feels kind of lacking now lol.

Everybody should train Advanced Spaceship Command to V anyway. It's a pride thing.

Real EVE players sell their children, buy PLEX then convert said PLEX into skill injectors.
JF pilot in like a minute and a half.

Noooooobody actually trains anymore! It's the new EVE!!
It's probably taking older players time...to adjust....

My questions is this, Why are you "Forced" to having multi accounts? Why do you think the way gameplay in Eve "forces"you to have multi accounts?

I have two accounts and for all I know I wasn't "forced" to create a second account, I wanted a second account of my own free will sooooooooo......no forcing in this regards........

Thanks for reading my post in its entirety all the way to the end. I believe I stated exactly what changes would make me happy, and both suggestions would be ADDING options to the game; not a single one of my suggestions was the removal of anything. I even had a disclaimer stating I don't want anything removed. Thanks for taking the time to understand my post; I was thinking that maybe I'd need to add pictures or bigger fonts to make the simpler people understand what I was saying, but clearly these were not needed.

CCP Kool-aide, drink up.
