from what I can tell they want to make it so ganking is all but impossible...(See mainstreaming EVE). So if you can flip someone an flag, that will mean everyone in HS can kill you, not just that person. Apparently miners are going into the business of "professional victims R US."

So the next stage is CCP making it so HS will be EVE's version of wow's Astrinarr....
I had this discussion in Scope chat. Apparently miners dont see why it's fair that "THEY" have to get payback, when its only fair that everyone in EVE should be allowed too....

Give me ******* strength lol I hope to hell they dont do this, Even CCP cant be that stupid to make this wow in space.

Thank you CCP for bringing more risk/reward into the game.

Zero Risk?

Everyone in your corporation can attack them, they are the only ones who can tackle you so ECM Drones or backup ECM = near guaranteed escape if they have Logi and since they can't fire until you aggress them it means you can do so with a duel web so no kiting or dodging shots and you get to decide before the fight if it is a ship you can 100% beat or escape from.

Can fights are pretty much 100% in favor of victim. Please tell me the zero risk part was ironic.



Are you so dense to believe that?

Canflippers have it so hard

I was 14 days old and a total noob newb. It was even in a protected area, and I was so newb I didn't even know this.

Now you tell me where the risk in this kill is?




In this particular kill, there was little risk... which is why you were targeted.

Don't want to get ganked? Make yourself a harder target.

In a player corp, your entire corp can attack the can flipper as soon as he loots your wreck. The flipper can't attack ANYONE until you or a corpmate shoots him first, and even then he can only attack those that are aggressing him, anyone else and he gets concorded.

EVE is not safe, nor was it meant to be, and the less friends you have the less safe it becomes.


That was the old EVE mate, the "new" EVE is going to be nice, friendly an cuddly. eg wow in space. Again a simple matter of self responsibility, an i garentee you every single miner will utterly ignore it. I know in Scope you tell them time an time an time again to ignore ninjas, an 30 seconds ...

"waaaaa gimmi a new ship this bad man is griefing me, so I reported him. Will CCP give me a new ship?....

mind boggling.

- instead of being aggressed to the corp you just can flipped you'll be aggressed to everyone. Apart from the fact that it's silly it also takes away for the need in mining corps to have their own defences (and an allround corp) because "someone else" can take care of problem. The simple fact of being aggressed to everyone makes it an uncontrolled scenario that severely favours the defenders, and before ppl go "bawww", controlling the scenario happens everywhere in pvp.


The mechanic is sh*t atm. Let's suppose I'm in a mining fleet with a few allymates. A canflipper comes by and steals ore in a can belonging to a guy who is not in my corp, but is in my fleet AND in my alliance.
I cannot attack the canflipper. How is that even logical?
You would think you could help your allymates other than just remoting them, hoping for the canflipper to make a mistake and attack you.

To go further, any good soul passing by should be able to destroy the canflipper's ship. He committed a crime after all, even though it is minor. Don't forget he cannot be podkilled, unless he is <-5.

Being a criminal has consequences. Deal with it.

Remember the video "Butterfly effect"?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oq2oxt7Nrxo

You can help the miner against the pirates, even though you don't know him. I don't see why it should be possible only in low/null.
It's about time.


I'm perfectly ok with expanding aggression to alliance level, I'm not ok with expanding it to "everyone".

For the same reason people use scouts, alts and spies in 0.0 or anywhere else, to control the scenario. If you jump into low sec or 0.0 you can check local and know what you're up against, if you're in high sec with 100 ppl in local and you're aggressed to everyone that creates many unknowns when you decide to commit to a fight, especially as those potential 100 can choose the exact timing of entering the scenario, and I'm not even going to mention the fcking ret@rdo idea of having some of the defending logistics NOT be aggressed in certain situations.



You see. You want the control. Only commit to Canflipping when you KNOW you have the upper hand. It is generally called bullying. aka cowardice. This is comfirmed by the tears generated by this mechanic. Now you see Canflippers too scared to perform the action, because of the potential consequences. All this from people who want "PVP"

This will make my pvp haulers life very hard indeed. Biggest upset however will be looting people wrecks that dont belong to you, which I bet will get far more nubs killed than currently die to jetcan accidents.

Well, miners have to deal with 100 in local too, each of those 100 can kill them just for a laugh and in complete safety (fear the retriever offensive POWAH!).

So what?

Same advice given to miners by you and the other resident though men: loot while aligned, make bookmarks, fit a tank.
I am able to do it and I am not even a ganker (I just have fun ninjaing T2 salvage in their face), figures.

Thats a load of crock. Can flippers are after easy kills plain and simple.

If the victim of the flip falls for the trap then how many times does he come out on top? If the victim manages to kill 1/10 flippers he is pretty good. I say again, the flipper is hoping for an easy kill. If flipping cans would kill the flipper 9/10 instead of the other way around I kind of doubt people would be flipping very much at all.


It's only an easy kill if the victim (and his entire bloody corp) allow it to be.

I flip cans to get the fight so warping off isnt very smart on that front. Gotta remember, these changes are to "protect the nubs" from the nasty people. This change will expose a lot more to the bad guys guns while the nasty people who flip cans for fights will continue to do so. Once again, the bears are fighting for something they think will make them safer but will end up still being killed and their tears of rage will be all the greater for it.

No, they don't.

First of all it's not safe at all, if they suicide gank they lose their ships (which can be avoided if only people would CHOOSE to tank their mining ships, the old Hulk could easily get 25k EHP on its own, more than enough to require 3 tornados to gank it resulting in it not being a target). Secondly if they got can flipped it's because they CHOSE to use cans in the first place, then they have the CHOICE to attack the flipper and they can CHOOSE to use as many corp members as they want.

Not my fault Miners adopted this autistic idea that they play eve in solo mode and not be in an active, non-zombie corp while not being prepared. Ignorance and zero-effort should not be rewarded, active non-idiot miners did perfectly fine through Hulkageddons and can flips.

Actually, nobody is keeping you from doing that can flip... you can go right ahead and do it... but if you do then there will open season on your arse... and personally I find that very fun indeed.

But I guess its a bit like the remove local discussion... removing local from nullsec would introduce real risk, and the people crying the hardest about that are usually the ones calling the people that wants to be rid of local cowards... yet they display in every way that the biggest chickens of the bunch are themselves... same here... the ones crying the hardest here are the ones that suddely have to face actual risk and concequence of their actions.

I welcome crimewatch even if I wont be around to see it in action :p

1) I don't know of ANY ganker worth his name who does not pre-scan the ships and cherry picks those with bad tank (usually the case) / using stupid deadspace small shield booster and so on. So the "which can be avoided" is mooth as it's you who select who to gank not vice versa.

2) You talk like you are attacking 3 years old players who learned better than to jet can. No, those who get flipped are newbs or bads (bads go farm other bads after all, in other MMOs they'd be laughed after and their guild would gain a bad name).

Then there's this often GD written "advice" of leaving drones out on active, and guess what happens next?

The changes will do 2 things:

A: Committing minor criminal acts (i.e. can flipping in this case) will mark you as suspect. This makes you attackable by all.
B: People will be prevented from stealing from cans, unless they turn their safeties off. Not a 'click through' dialog box, but a 'go here and turn there options off, then they're off until you turn them back on'.

At least, if the fanfest presentation was anything to go by.

Woo! CSM XI!
