EVE General Discussion

The red saw him in local, landed immediately after the OP attempted to jump through. Had his attempt been successful the Minmatar would have simply followed him in and popped him while aligning (which is exactly what he did, just on the other side of the gate). The situation would have been identical, except it would have occured in Jita instead.

The reason he died was because of the choices he made prior to undocking. Once he did so, his fate was sealed. Only the location of his death changed.

You need to remember that "Traffic Control" is a legitimate game mechanic, put in place intentionally to throttle traffic when a system has a high load on it. We are seeing it more often now, and will continue to do so, but it has been part of the "reality" of this game for years... and pilots really have no excuse for not being aware of the possibility.

So again, this was not a bug. This was a very predictable game mechanic that he completely failed to take into account (among many, many other things).

Again, the cause of this pilots death was due to the choices he made before he undocked.

exactly, so the gate being closed, was the reason he died where he did, in the situation he was in.

other side of the gate = pilot error.
the side he died on = not pilot error, since an individual pilot doesn't control whether the gate is open or not.

They used to send out a pop up to everyone whenever a gate was experiencing traffic control.

Due to the storm of protests from EvE pilots they had to remove the mechanic.

Now to raise awareness I could see this as a good addition to the Autopilot information panel, or possibly the proposed Notifications information panel, where the traffic control notification only appears if one of the systems in your route is experiencing traffic control.

This solution could perhaps solve the issue of using traffic control as an excuse to justify bad decisions.

To everyone.

Now perhaps it could be a more focused notification.

except, it is.

This post just convinced me that you are probably not the smartest guy around. Is it that hard to dock up when you need food? Is it that hard to tank your ship? Even just one med extender would have made it harder for them to kill that badger.

You have won my daily Darwin Award. Congrats and please don't procreate.

yea, because red pilot will never attack target until it jumps.....

or we have no aggression timer

300M is not a big loss given the circumstances.

The only problem I see here is that whilst the server population is growing day by day and Jita being the bigest trade hub in EVE, it gets locked down more and more often. So there is a long queue to enter Jita while inside there are hundred of bots spaming or just station trade all day long. And that's extremely annoying for many of us, especially when you are in big rush and have no time to wait.

The solution would be to introduce the parking ticket. You got two hours free, anything more is going to be charged. Longer you stay, more to pay. This way maybe we could get rid of those annoying bots infesting Jita and blocking the legit players to actually play the game.

Parking ticket is a cool idea. But there is no problem here to be solved, Jita is well represented as a bustling megaport with spammed advertisements and traffic delays. I love that, there is nothing that could be done to give Jita more character or to make it a more appropriate center of trade in New Eden.

Kudos to CCP and all the scammers, gankers, and badger pilots who make Jita the place that it is!

If you want a more civil trading environment with the same level of support for ship fitting, comparable prices, and no laggy delays then Amarr is just 9 jumps to the south.

Out of curiosity why were you bringing ammo into Jita?

*oh nm, I thought I read somewhere you said that you were bringing it in. I get it now.
