At least these arguments are becoming more honest.


Feel free to dig in my posts history, I have been "more honest" since a long while.

while BDSM is really interesting and exciting kind of XXX-rated activities it's not that everyone would enjoy playing passive role in this process. Active role is not for everyone too.

Just stay in high sec , we have null covered. There is nothing out there, so don't bother coming out.

No, no, no don't just stay out there in the Land of the Big Blue Doughnut, feel free to come on back to "perfectly safe" high sec and AFK in freighters and such. We'll keep thinning your herd for you so that the real null bears stay strong and healthy. It's the circle of life sort of thing.

If CCP wants to make a big overall change to highsec, they'd best do it at a trickle. Small changes that are easily accepted as no big deal, because it's, after all, just a small change.

What do all the small changes add up to though?

Mining barge buffs? No big deal. It's just a small change, you can still gank miners, it's just a little harder now, a little more expensive.

Removing insurance on highsec ganks? No big deal. It's just a small change. Gankers should only be profiting on their kills, not the loss of their ships.

CONCORD warp disrupting you from across a system, the moment you open fire. No big deal. It's just a small change. Gankers should only be able to kill on a single grid.

The Crimewatch suspect flag. No big deal. It's just a small change, sure it's harder to make a living on highsec PvP due to suspect flagging when looting the booty. Nobody liked freighter ganking anyhow.

The killright system? No big deal. It's just a small change. Dirty pirates deserve to be free-for-alled by everyone in a system. Their life should be tougher.

The dueling system? No big deal. Sure it's consensual PvP, but it's a small change, and outside parties can still get involved.


- Mining barge buffs were the only thing on this list I actively argued against. They were perfectly capable of being tanked before, the problem was that miners were opting for yield over tank so frequently that it seemed like there were no properly-tanked exhumers in space. The truth is, I could tank a hulk pre-buff to within 5k EHP of the current standard mackinaw tank fits.

- Removing insurance. This was logical and should be done on both concord actions and self destructs.

- System-wide concord warp disruption exists because of the boomerang maneuver.

- Suspect flags are fun. If you're freighter ganking, just use a disposable alt to drop goods into a can the freighter pilot can pull from without going suspect. Problem solved.

- Killrights are a joke, but make for great fun with carebears misuse their safeties.

- Dueling is wonderful. Don't touch it, I have big plans for it.
