Realy no idear why some of you rage so much.

Isn't this game called a SANDBOX game?
Doesn't the one who like to mine pay the same real money as you do equal what you do?

If they want to afk-mine and have fun doing it .. what the hell is your damn problem?????
They found their little corner in this SANDBOX like you found your corner.

If I check the forums I allways find semi-arguments like: "I do nothing wrong, it's legit game mechanic" or "I do it for fun".
You must be realy short mindet, if you belive, your way is the only true way people can have fun (and should be allowed to have fun)!

Yes, I do semi-afk mining too and I LOVE it! I pay ~12,-€ each month just to be able to do it (and no, not plex, I use real money!!). While I do it, I watch TV or read a book or do my normal hause work (the stuff you have to do if you have no mom anymore). In addition I invest several hundret million ISK to make my miner a good miner (tank or yield or mix what ever I like).

So where is your damn legitimation which says: you just need 20m to destroy this?? Right, there is no such legitimation!! And your:" buhaha but I want to" is by far not enough! It's not even worth the hot air comming out of your mouth.

Why the hell can't I fitt capital repairs or shield booster on an Orca ... it's an CAPITAL ship!

You are completely correct sir. That's why I'm glad I can still gank people that need to die..

They found their little corner in this SANDBOX like you found your corner.
The problem is that they have this tendency to demand that their little corner be made exclusive to them and not let the rest of the sandbox players in (but they must still be allowed access to the rest of the sandbox)…

…which ironically means that they haven't quite understood what this whole sandbox thing means.

They do over the market ... which by the defenition of many gankers is PvP too ... as everywhere is PvP.
This is one of the standart answares of GANKERS! Market = PvP! So it comes from guys like YOU!

So again, what is your problem?

When devs post stuff like "The money you paid for a ship to gank with compared to the money lost by your target was completely off", it sounds like cost IS being used to balance the game. And to a certain degree, they should continue to do so.

But only thing you care about is your stupid profit. If only thing you want is to interfere, why do you care about your little iskies?

You can still gank my Rokh in 1.0 system if you so want. But no, you don't do it because you will lose money!

That's the carebears-attitude, you genius.

The carebears believe they have a right to be safe, while the gankers try to show them they have not.

The carebears are wrong ! Are you people that dumb ? Really ?
The game mechanics *clearly show* that everybody can do what they want !
The carebears can do what they want too, but they DIE BECAUSE OF IT AND IT'S THEIR OWN FAULT !


That's the game !
Is it that hard to grasp ? o_O

It's not about "a way to play" !
It's about "what do game mechanics allow me to do" !


Just kill 'em all !

Sorry but this is what wannabe mini Rambos belive.

They belive, they are heroic, when they kill helpless targets.
They allways cry "this is sandbox".
They belive, they can DICTATE, what everyone should do.

And as soon as someone does not worship this mini Rambos they start to flame and flood the forum like pink babys "mumi, they don't want to play like I play *whine whine whine*".


Oh and btw ... which ships do you want to fly without miner?
No miner => no production => NO SHIPS FOR YOU!

Ah, I see, you just want to run your own mining bots :D.
That's why no other player should be allowed to do it. NOW I understand *enlight*.

No, it's what the carebears believe. The mini-rambos don't think you shouldn't be allowed to do what you want. They think you should learn how the game works and the consequences of your choices rather than come screaming for changes when those choices blow up in your face.

If there were no miners left, the actual industrialists would step in and the production would just keep going.

You are the best excample that I am right.
You cry "I can't do anymore what I want to do". You expect, you can do what you want and noone is allowed to stop your doing ... not even CCP.

ROFL what?? This is just stupid!
Most if not all Miners ARE allready Producer. And nealy every Producer is Miner at the same time. Except the Producer is a ISK-maker Alt for something else. And then he need to buy the ore from the market. But which ore should he buy without miners?

And even if there would be anything corect about your statement ... you would never care if you gank a bot, a semi-afk, an active or an producer ... you just want to gank!

So tell me, once noone want to mine anymore, not even the producer you talk about ... which ships do you fly then?

Why the hell can't I fitt capital repairs or shield booster on an Orca ... it's an CAPITAL ship!

For belt hauling, the mackinkaw beats primary haulers at their own role. Forget the rest, i'm talking about belt hauling. There's no need to use a hauler anymore, infact even if you're mining in a team, you're better of mining with all mackinkaws, a hauler is not going to increase your yield, infact it will decrease, you're better off with all mackinkaws and no hauler. It's far easier, and you get more ore.

The imbalance here is plain as day, no mining ship should be able to haul ore as well as or better than an actual dedicated hauler does. If you really want a dedicated hauler anyway, just use another Mackinkaw, it can mine between hauling sessions. If you're going to do that though you may aswell just use each miner as its own hauler anyway. God, this is so dumb.


You are dead wrong.

When mining in a team you are mining in hulks. They dump their load to the orca, and the orca either takes the ore to the station, or you are using another orca to transfer the ore to the station.

There is absolutely no reason to use mackinaws in a team ops. Even when not tanked they will not do as much m3/hour as a tanked hulk with a booster orca. No need to go and dump your load means lots more cycles dedicated to mining than flying to station, which makes the ops a hell of alot more efficient. Using macks in a team is very in-efficient.

For a solo miner, its retriever->mackinaw.
For a group miner its retriever->hulk.
For a null miner its mainly a skiff.


what kind of bullshit are you writing here.

solo miner = mackinaw
group miner = mackinaw>hulk
null miner = mackinaw>hulk

Did you read the DEV-Blog?

In a group where you have Haulers Hulk>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Mackinaw.

We just play the game how we can. You do that too, but your ignorance hinders you of the realization
that if you play the way you want to ... you will get blown up.

You try to keep this at a personal level ("YOU FORCE US"), while it's not.

The only group trying to force things onto others is the carebears,
because they believe they have a right to be left alone ...
... while the game mechanics clearly show that they don't.

As you have no other defense and can't get past your ignorance,
you will just keep blaming us for your own wrongdoings.

Again your posts are the best excample

How am I dictating anything? I'm telling them how the game works and how they can make use of the tools available to solve the issues they're having, removing the need to cry endlessly over something that was never a problem to begin with. By the way. I don't gank. So nice ad hominem. Since your entire post rests on this basic fallacy, it's pretty much all wrong. Would you like to try again?

Someone told you: what you do has not enough risk ... and that's why you are so angry now
I know that what I do doesn't have enough risk. That's why I want to see ganking made easier and more common: so my risks increase. I don't know why you're so angry about me wanting to see more risk for me…

ROFL what??
You seem to assume that only carebears can mine. If there were no more miners, then the industrialists — the people who do the same thing without the carebear entitlement issues and their incomplete understanding of game fundamentals — will step in and keep the line going. They will not stop producing just because they get ganked — they'll find a way around it (in fact, they probably already have) or include it as a general business expense and keep going. So tell me, why would they not want to mine any more?

Lol no. For group mining, Hulk >>>>>>> Mack, because the group lets the Hulk do what the Hulk does best — extract massive amounts of base materials — without being held back by what it doesn't do well. You're also skipping the fourth category: paranoid miner = Skiff > all.
