Not in a million years, not a sandbox anyways.

I agree HTFU but here is some tips for you.

If you have the cash put a mining ship in different ice/mining belt systems in different races systems, eg one in galent, caldari, mini, and amarr space.

Then add Mr Mittani's alliance to your contact list, you can do it from the forums even, and flag them as bad.

Then blow your local window up big so you can see a large chunk if not all the people in local.

If Mr Mittani enters the system in his big bad Brutix you will see him and hopefully doc up before he ganks you. Then move to a different system you have a mining barge at. Leave the system in your pod or shuttle very hard to lock and NEVER auto pilot.

Also keep your drones out and set them to protect or aggressive. (Get combat drone of any kind, does not matter the skill level just have in space) If they gank you then your drones should have enough time to do atleat do bit of damage to them before Concorde gets them. Then you can show your buddies you killed Mr Mittani with your mining ship because you will get a nice killmail. Alot of gankers are killmail whores and will not like that blemish on there killboard.

Remember one golden rule I say to all the new indy guys in our corp. Make them bored, that is your best weapon. Don’t talk to them dock up and go afk if they get bored they will leave and 99% of the pvpers have an attention span the size of a walnut. It will not be long till they are bored and an gone back to 0.0. You are a miner you have the power to outlast them hell you sit in front of the rock for hours. Use that patients as your weapon. BORE THEM TO DEATH and you will always win and get many tear in the prossess. Boo Hoo undock already LOL

I hate seeing people leave the game when the most important thing we can do for eve right now is attract and KEEP new players. I hope this little advice helps you. Remember this kind of drama you will not see in any other MMO and that is what makes eve special. It is worth playing but you need to play smart.

well if goon feels that ganking other players is fun what would happen if because players stopped playing the game and losing money on the game then what would happen i mean it is the fact that i feel that the actions of the goons could cost ccp alot in the long run

This is quite likely the best answer post on Eve-O of all time

Obvious answer .... Hisec Carebears should simply start cancelling their subs ... until CCP removes insurance payouts for gankships ... oh, wait, that's what they're already doing in droves ....

If CCP were smart they would simply allow people to "unflag themselves for PvP" in hisec, like all the other (growing rather than shrinking) MMO's, so we would stop losing valuable noob subs.

I realize this isn't attractive to those who somehow find pleasure in tormenting noobs .... but that's what losec and nullsec are for anyway.

I have an original idea for you...

Go play one of those "growing rather than shrinking" MMOs instead of this one. Oh, and post there instead of here.

Blizzard would love to take your money for every half-finished expansion they put out and they especially love people like you who will spend hundreds of hours pressing the same button to kill the same monster thousands of times like a chicken pecking a button to get feed.

So you really like the fact that EVE is starting to die? You want it to die? Rather than compromise in a tiny way that would hurt you not at all, but would probably attract new players who would fund your nullsec enhancements?

Well, your answer is pretty clear then --> typical Old Bitters (old or not, completely self interested), who might just take EVE down with them.

Angry, I actually don't care about the CSM --> I don' t think it matters nor should CCP give it overt weight ... kinda the equivalent of letting the schoolyard bully set all the rules if they did listen ...

You're right this is a dumb argument though ... simple answer is to simply stop insurance payouts for concord kills, and let things continue as they always have.

GREAT POST!

Oh my god, I havent checked these forums in 3 or 4 days and I come back to find a gold mine of tears such as this gem of a thread. This is so awesome.... our mining campaign is working so well that the Eve-O forums are overflowing with 'WTF I HATE GOONS' threads

This is in response to everyone who has complained about how easy it is to gank industrials:

A supertanker costs in excess of $100,000,000. It can be destroyed at sea by any ship capable of mounting either a surface torpedo launcher (smaller than you think) or a gun sufficiently large enough to puncture the tanker's hull. Such a boat could probably be had for less than 1% the value of that utterly undefended supertanker.

Why? Because supertankers are designed to do one thing, and do it exceedingly well: they haul oil without spilling it (usually). They are good for absolutely nothing else. You could put additional armor on them...at the expense of cargo capacity, fuel efficiency, and speed. The designers chose to take the risk. Same goes for the Hulk.
