EVE General Discussion

Oh this is gold, I love a good hanger raid.

You may not enjoy this type of content, understandably, since it hits close to home. But I have to say, it is pretty poetic and entertaining. But I won't call it "content" if it makes you feel better.

Did you just Conway me? Don't doubt your corp has. But was referring to this specific instance which doesn't seem to be sitting well with you.

Piracy is the act of making profit out of valuable loot, because the price of the available ore in hisec is so low and that at most you can fill about 3.2m worth of Ore in a barge or exhumer you don't make money pirating that, which is why most people who do piracy are waiting on gates pirating transport ships and freighters. Mining piracy in hisec was always a moronic thing to do, which is why CODE did it. And you seem to think it is a great gaping hole in game play, seriously what a stupid point of view.

People do mine into cans still, if you are too lazy to spot them then that is your issue, same as it is your issue that you do not war dec people or that you do not want to go suspect. 27k m3 of ore is hardly worth nabbing though is it, maybe 27k m3 of ice is, that is 8m, nope not worth it either...

Pirating mining ships is moronic...

I came across people in hisec who were content to mine and enjoyed doing it, it is content for them, but not for you, I don't know why you have such a thing about it, especially as you don't do hisec mining yourself. And those same people who just like to do it will still do it even though what they are mining is worth nothing, because they can...

So why are you wittering on about piracy against miners then?

And people do jet can mine, I have seen them.

You have said continuously in other threads that you were upset with the change to can flipping and cried tears over it, CODE was in part born out of that cry of pain which you alluded to in your reply here. And they were never pirates, pirates fight for loot not tears, get your terminology right.

So stop calling blowing up mining ships as piracy because it is not.

Mining in hisec is hardly worth it, especially when the impact of massive mining from Rorquals hits home in the markets, but if that is what people want to waste their time doing and people are moronic enough to steal that worthless ore what can I say, but I find people whining about people no longer pirating miners idiotic in the extreme. The pirates are killing freighters and transport ships on the way to market, the risk is there. CODE is and always has been an idiotic organisation, but at least some saw where to make money and Kusion is one of them as was your corp under Warr Akini.

But always more of a target, partially because it's more valuable, partially because the pilot is almost certainly completely AFK, making for an easier-than-usual gank.

Not really. There are can flippers, thiefs, ransom bumpers, yellow flashy bait pilots, mtu killers, and don't forget heavy diskussions in local.
I drive an ice info channel, where we have sometimes hours of heavy arguying about everything eve and rl related. Especially when a certain guy turns up.
He loves to bring religion to every theme.

Wow! Refining ore. Logging in right now!!

On second thought, gonna go sit in the living room staring out the window in case somebody walks by.

If you bring enough firepower to suicide gank my 400khp orca in a 0.7 system, then you deserve it. If i am afk and cannot turn on my large shield booster of course.
Wich happens not often. Because i have a 7 ship fleet to manage. I do not bother to mine with drones btw.

I was talking about a single drone mining orca, what is the ultimate afk miner now.

A little less yield then an unboosted skiff or mack plus massive tank and cargo.
