EVE General Discussion

Truth is, gankers will very rarely go through your loot item by item and count if it adds up to 1b or 1.2b or 1.5b. They'll look at the cargo scan and look for shiny things - blueprints, faction/deadspace/officer mods, moon goo, loads of TII stuff, etc. It's not just about how valuable your cargo is, but also about how valuable your cargo appears.

As others have pointed out, it's route.

Right now the Uedama and Niarja pipe is not viable. It isn't risk, they aren't viable routes.

The reason Jita Burn was a 36 hr comedy side show was Concord was bug zapping pirates faster than pirate corps could produce them. That's not the case in Uedama. It has a .5054403 true sec and it's not enough to provoke a large scale concord response.

CCP could put Concord beacons on the maps but it's doubtful they will unless people start hitting the cancel Sub button due to relentless attitudes of people camping those systems. Players could War dec but that was taken off the table with the multi billion ISK dec shielding system. Bring blob is a white paper solution. It sounds great on the forum but LFG so I can move my PvE assets won't work in the most dedicated Null sec alliances, forget loose affiliate corps used in High Sec.

Not viable. Log out, go play something else.

I got ganked in my Itty 5 with a double wrap; it was double wraped only for convienence for switching between toons mind. The pirate popped me assuming that the double wrap was hiding something, and got mining crystals for his tornado.

Just food for thought.

Zero.

When you log into EVE, you should never assume that you are safe from the actions of other players.

This is the way the sandbox works.

If you carry 5 billion or more in a freighter, you probably won't get ganked. This is because the gates you pass don't have a freighter gank fleet ready most of the time, not because you're not worth the trouble. Make a long trip and you'll get twelve scanner scouts from different highsec pirate corps following you, fleeting with their corpmates desperately trying to toss together a gank fleet in time to catch you, but you won't see them unless they're ready.

Just stick between 1-2 billion if not less, and you'll usually only be ganked for the lulz, not for monetary reasons (that means you're MUCH less likely to be ganked).

That's what out of corp alts are for.

(Although I could imagine someone being crazy enough to put billions in bounties on anyone they see flying a jumptruck just to "burn" the character...)

It's not unthinkable.

Or perhaps, freight companies putting bounties on each other('s NPC alts) to take the competition out of business.

There is no "safe".
Many, not specifically excluding me, would gank you just for the lulz.

Not empty quoting.
