I like the safety system, especially when some lowsec troll forgets to adjust their safety and they come to highsec and try to steal your loot and then shoot the wreck for some dumb reason, and then you get to kill them with the help of concord.

You're not being mean, you're just being stupid.

Now that that's addressed, I guess you are welcome to your opinion on safeties. I disagree of course, but whatever.


How does that statement make me stupid exactly? Because even though you say I'm entitled to an opinion, I'm stupid for having one you disagree with. That about sums it up?

"Tomahawks?"

"Trouble is, those things cost like a million and a half each."

The old, used, worn out "nothing in real life could possibly be relevant or have any application whatsoever to EvE" trope is just stupid.

If he did not went suspect, he did not steal anything. He just peeked into the wreck and its all.

About the safety, its your choice how you use it. I have seen people set it to red and then lose tech 3 cruisers in a high sec, shooting people around like it would be low sec. So it still do not make you win EVE somehow.

You know, no safety will stop anyone, if he really want to do something.

Where I work, people have been ignoring signs and blockades designed to stop people from crawling into the machines where robot arms operate. One woman ignored them all, removed blockade and crawled inside machine to get something, to be then injured by robot. She had whole back scratched to blood and had to get few stitches. You just cant stop people from taking risks. Its sometimes advantage, but often its taking risks where the gain isnt worth it.

It's not just you.

There's a world of difference between adding quality of life mechanics and catering to the terminally stupid. The safety system is a great example of the latter, in my opinion.

a bit of both i guess. in my mates case he hadn't played since it was introduced, he broke the golden rule, read the dev blogs.
