EVE General Discussion

They are extorting you. Just tank your mining barge to make yourself a much less of an attractive target to dessie gankers. If they try bumping, move that darn ship and orbit a rock.

Almost always its a scam - and many groups that give out permits will just attack the people that buy them anyway. Save your money and just fly smarter.

No it's not a thing. Don't buy one.

1. You're an idiot
2. You cannot guarantee that ships will never be lost. CODE isn't the only threat, so, unless that permit is also paying for protection than it is worthless.
3. Paying for people not to attack you is generally not a good policy. Especially when they might just shoot you anyway.
4. Paying ISK to CODE is indulging their fantasy of actually expressing dominion in New Eden.
5. See point 1.

That's You're, not your.

Learn to speak English before you call other people idiots.

The mining permit is only part of following the New Halaima Code of Conduct. It is absolutely required for you to legally mine in New Order territory, but it isn't a license to bot or mine in a bot-aspirant fashion. You still need to respect the other rules which are there not only for the miner's own good, but the good of highsec in general.

There are thousands of miners who have bought a mining permit and follow the Code and thus mine unmolested in highsec. In fact, there is not a single case of a permit holder mining in a compliant manner ever losing their ship to gankers.

You can pay the ludicrously low permit fee (10M/ISK per year? Seriously who considers that more than pocket change?) and mine in a compliant fashion knowing you are on the side of good guys, or you can declare yourself a rebel and be just another target for New Order agents. The choice is yours really. Either way the Code wins as it always does.

Set CODE and other known suicide gankers to red standings, then mine in sparsely populated systems with a well tanked ship, and keep an eye on local. If it looks like they're bringing in the heavy guns, you just warp to station and go do something else for a while.

Or, since you're gonna be watching local like a hawk, just mine in low-sec and take advantage of the more profitable ores there, assuming you can handle the logistics. Gneiss often spawns in anomaly sites and is nearly twice as worth anything you can mine in high-sec, and if you pick the right system you'll be getting maybe one possibly hostile local every couple hours at most.

But whatever you do, don't waste money on a permit. Those corps are full of people with a very loose interpretation of what their own rules mean, and will happily bend them to justify a gank if convenient at the time.

CODE is a terrorist organization comprised of multiple cells that spread racist propaganda in an attempt to strong-arm ISK from law abiding citizens of New Eden. They are nothing more than a fanatical Jihad gang indulging in Racketeering, Extortion, Harassment and Suicide Ganking. They do not control or own any Sovereignty. Purchasing a Mining Permit will not protect you from being attacked anywhere and at anytime.

Questioning the validity of the New Order's permits is itself a violation of the commandments of The Code.

Is this really a route you wish to travel? Or can I expect 10m and an apology in the mail?

I use anti-botaspirant, unscented. Keeps me feeling fresh after a long day in the belts.
