EVE General Discussion

Can I sit in hisec in a freighter with 93 ships in its hold, and not get ganked? Yes? Why golly gosh, I think concord might possibly have some protectional value after all! Who'd've thought!


Put up a tower in lowsec, open up a corp hangar in a station, research from there.

This isn't rocket science.


I, too, think a ship which lets me press a button every 3-5 minutes and can hold 45 minutes or whatever it is worth of mining is just a-ok. Just like having the biggest ship in the eve universe blap anything down to the smallest ship with impunity was a-ok until CCP nerfed them through a hack.


Guess we'll have to increase the HP even further, then, or completely remove any and all aggression in hisec.


Hey, if you want to throw away your mineral, go ahead and fart around in hisec and setup 30 day slots and cancelling them. I'm sure you'll have the stamina to keep this going for oh I dunno 5 minutes?

Does anyone care?

Except they'll obviously think it's just the way things should be balanced, because hisec is the las vegas of eve and sov space is the shanty town. Like duh.

Nonono, it's been thousands of years in the making, things like concord, awesome stations etc are free! Didn't you watch star trek?!

Wrong, the answer is "maybe!" :)

Someone might just figure out that the cargo is worth it and get enough peeps to gank You anyways.

Someone might, yes. Go outside of hisec and do the exact same thing, and see how many weeks you can sit on a gate in that very same freighter with the exact same cargo.

Concord does protect. It isn't perfect protection, but then again hisec is called high security and not perfect security for a reason.

And what would've happened if the majority of miners had been "properly tanked"?

remove auto repeat from strip miners and afking ends.

It would not happen, the 80% / 20% (and sometimes the 90% / 10%) rules apply.
Any developer (and expecially game developers) know that and act accordingly.

MMOs are games for the masses, the masses are statistically made of bad players / bad investors / bad PvPers. That's why it's easy to be "elite" in a MMO, your opponents are often worse than well made NPCs.

1) Loners don't achieve as much as groups. Getting several or many people to do the same thing will achieve quicker and bigger results. Unless you do it stupid and "too much" and then it get nerfed. Something which is a speciality for certain alliances in EvE.

2) Certainly wasting 2-3k isk on a starter BP is going to break my wallet! Oh wait, it's the fact one would have to spend hours a day with a terrible and clunky UI just to "take out" one of those 5-6 stations systems.

3) I don't *need* to do it, since I do more than fine as is, for me it's a plus. Since my whole playstyle is made upon completely passive, cumulating gains over time, going all out berserker in a menial task for lots of time is against my playstyle and that's just for a plus.

4) I prefer letting others do the hard work. That's what grunts are for and that's exactly how alliances food economy chain work. I have already reaped some substantial profits (double digit billions just in 2012) by encouraging people into doing what I need and I have already a budget to do the same for 2013. I expecially love saying people my agenda in advance and then proceed into it anyway. That's a VASTLY more satisfying PvP win, because it goes beyond EvE, some times even beyond meta. You may find past references about that activity including during the barges tiericide beta testing, I had some GD post-lords bump my agenda very much and then showing them about it. They almost stopped quoting / bumping my posts since then, there is ALWAYS something brewing up when I post.
