EVE General Discussion

This is an old one but still find it amusing.
This is supposed to be a long time ago when it was easier to tank/get away from/be faster then Concord.
If a player blew up someone in high sec and managed to espace concord a GM would come in at any random point in one of their fancy ships and blow you to bits out of the blue werever you were,and whatever ship you were in. The idea being that you could be sitting there in your fancy BS or whatever suspecting nothing and suddenly a Jove ship would appear and blow you up as a "punishment" for escpaing Concord.
Think that has to be my all time favorite,not because its not true but because i would love it if it was and imagion the exspression on someones face whn a GM suddenly jumped in,came with some speech in local on how you had been trying to hide from the authorieties and then blew up your faction fitted ship you had worked so hard to get

Show a fight between a player with all skills in a cruiser at lvl 1 fighting another player in a tech 2 cruiser with all relevant skills at 5.
Both players should know what to do and not be afk and should not get links running.

When you can show that the first player has the same amount of chance to win as the 2nd player then the myth i posted is not a myth.
If you can not i suggest you join your own little gatecamp in low sec and stop fail trolling at this forum.

Eve consist of griefers supported by a company that encourages griefing on a non-consensual basis.

Eve community is the worst community in MMO gaming history due to constantly lauding pvp mechanics.

Eve breeds psychopaths, sociopaths, murderers, drug dealing in RL. (<--this is the best one I have seen)

Eve is not a spaceship simulator, it's Excel in space.

Eve is dying.

(as reported by various angry rage quit carebear players on this forum, different mmos forums and upcoming competitor forums like the crappy sounding Star Citizen and Elite Dangerous).
examples:
" .....that pretty much sums up why I don't play EVE .. ganking is allowed even in HiSec zones. (Makes you wonder why the devs didn't beef up local security to clamp down on this - High Security space is suppose to be safe.)"

"...There's few things more heartbreaking than having spent all your hard earned cash and seeing it evaporate... perhaps seeing your IteronV evaporating with a stupidly expensive cargo on board... either way, the lack of a save button and being at the mercy of a PVP game structure knocks it on the head for me"

AFK drone ships.

Orly? Gank any Drakes shielded to the teeth lately in hisec?

We are going a bit offtopic here.
Anyway its not needed to proof to me that when you take out the variable of player real skill the outcome of a 1vs1 fight is down to skillpoints.
More skillpoints in relevant skills is more ehp, more speed, more agility more dps.
Basicly everything more.

Still waiting of showing a video of a 1vs1 fight that shows im wrong.

you need keys to turn on your ship.

It has nothing to do with how many kills there are daily but about the possibility of you, yourself or anybody else being killed.
Possibility as in; chance, prospect, likelihood, odds.

I could also get killed in a car accident tomorrow or be struck by lightning but since the change of either is very very low, I feel pretty safe leaving my house to get to work.
Since the likelihood of getting killed in highsec is very low too, I'll say it's pretty safe to be there.

Lets for a moment say your hundreds of kill a day is correct.
In average there are a minimum of 10.000 people in eve every hour around the hour (23 hours in eve time a day). Some 5.000 of them dwell in highsec (50% is a nice round number).
Thats 115.000 people a day in highsec. Now lets say 800 of them get killed every day. Thats 0.7%
Thats a 0,7 procent change of SOMEONE getting killed. I and I think most players in highsec can live with those odds.
/me thinking: Probably some bad odds after writing this.

The fact that you or everyone else "could" is not the same fact that it most likely "will happen".

Oh. In case you're wondering: Why SOMEONE in uppercase?
Because the 0,7% is the change of someone among the 115.000 to be among the 800 that gets killed.
The chance of me or anyone else (as an individual) to be among those 800 is more in the line of 0.00087%

EvE is fun.

"Hisec is actually super dangerous"

"Nullsec is safer than hisec"
