A lesson on how to ruin your character in a few seconds

hmm... you should have -5.3 sec that part is fine, but the killrights? that's definitely a bug.

i had one smartboming run with an alt and ended with 7 killrights from rettys that died to the disco, i hit another 4 mackinaws, an orca and a providence in that run and they had no killrights on me, also i did hit a ton of drones, they count as aggression to the owner too, and no killrights from that either.

maybe its a bug with the ECM burst. (?)

idk, maybe some of the CODE. folks can shed some light on the killright mechanic, as i always assumed they were granted only on ship loss.


also, “I will try everything I have in my armory freaking butchers, I will fight”!! So, I pushed my ECM burst, to buy some time to warp away." Lol

Its not a bug. In highsec you get killright for being aggressed at all. In Lowsec only for Pod Aggression. By pushing the ECM Burst he aggresses every single neutral entity in a radius of optimal + 2xFalloff. Thats what? 25 km or so? At a closed Jita gate? Yep, thats a lot of killrights.

Hint: If they are made public for free, let a buddy activate it while you are sitting in a Noobfrig warp to a station or Gate in low and shoot it. Concord will shed your killright just fine.

In w-space nobody cares about your secstatus or killrights.

Awesome story, you will go far in eve with a good attitude like that. Perfect time to permanently stay in low or move out to null even. You will recover and you learned many lessons from this incident.

Great story. :) if it's security status you're worried about, you can always buy clone soldier tags. In fact, I have quite a few I could sell you for a couple bil!! :)

You'll also be helping CCP by buying plex to get that isk.

As a pretty green player myself this is something I could done ;-)
Died twice one day because I didn't keep my eyes on local.

Everyone that killed me so far have been really nice players that I one day hope to see outside the game.

My rookie mistake were to fly right inside enemy space, got so paralyzed that I forgot to gate crash back ;-)


Thanks for info about ECM Bursts.

Hello space pilots!

My job keeps me busy for a few days.

I published my story for you all to have fun. And life rewarded me with your nice words, encouragement, and many invaluable tips.

I want to thank you all !!

I will consider doing FW. Do not know how to do that yet, or how this war works, but I will find info around. I will also transfer my base to low sec.

I am sure that the little devil (my big Ego) will pay me a visit again, so I will keep you updated!

Fly adventurous!!

Check http://evemaps.dotlan.net/map/Amarr_VS_Minmatar. If you want to pirate just look for a suitably red area and set up shop. Think Kamela or similar. There is a similar map for the other FW are but never mind that since I won't be there to shoot you.

Hulls are difficult due to the bulk but are sometimes for sale in your selected area. Otherwise, get them shipped to the nearest highsec system (e.g. Tuomuta).

If you want to join FW that is very straightforward - just find an appropriate station and sign up. But I would strongly recommend joining a good corp for this. They can help you with logistics too.

What a funny, enlightening story. What impresses me most is how nonchalant and calm you are about the whole thing. That attitude is fantastic. :)

Btw, I believe Tags4sec was added in Odyssey. If so, I'd be willing to bet some of these generous souls can get you back to highsec.

Well really what this means is your path is clearer than ever, you now truly commit to blockade runner and just do it in null sec and no longer worry about ecm bursting anyone :)

At least you didn't light smart bombs in hisec and have 50 pods warp to you.

Your character is hardly ruined. You now have a reason to take the pacifier out yo mouth and roam lowsec, beating up idiots...and can train an alt to fly blockade runners inside a few months, and this one...he will not buy an ECM burst. Oh no.

The moment I started reading OP I know it would involve ECM burst (or maybeeeee a smartbomb) on Jita gates. Didn't leave disappointed.

Congratulations on taking it well and planing your way out.

I once used an ECM Burst in lowsec while doing a courier contract...and i hit the gate, and the gate guns shot me down. Thank G-d it wasn't in jita, lol.

Loved your tale of isk and woe

A lesson learned, a story told and hopefully enough fun had all round to try it all over again :)
