Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Tippia will probably beat me to it, but if not I'll check it when I get home.

we know exactly what you're saying. that's pretty much the problem.

Reading through all this crap makes me fear that
every
single
one
of
you
turns dumber and dumber with every post.


Except those who fail at life, because they don't understand the concept
of self responsibility. These already maxed out.

Since hi-sec is so big, has so many people in it -and is (according to the whiners) 95% filled with gankers and griefers- I can't help but wonder where are the white knights?

Seems pretty easy to whine nonsensically about things like RL navies and EHP ratios while completely ignoring personal responsibility, or teamwork, things gankers are comfortable with.

Much easier to post a thread, start an argument, than actually do something. You think RL navies and coast guards are full of NPCs who fulfill their responsibilities because of code? No, they are full of real people who are there because they want to make a real difference.

If gankers are so prevalent, you should be able to provide content for dozens or hundreds of white knight types, patrolling the space lanes, ensuring evildoers get their just desserts (or some other polarized nonsense). Take some personal responsibility, would ya? Just for one moment, stop the flow of tears, adjust the whine down to a minimum, and use your brain. I've got a few amazing ideas perfectly suited for people looking to make hi-sec a 'safer' place; but if you're unwilling to use a webbing ship, a scout, or the smallest modicum of common sense, I'm willing to bet that is out of your reach.

Gankers=knowledgeable, connected people who organise together for a common goal

Victims=insular, unorganised, or ignorant players unwilling to work together or do anything to change their circumstance (and the occasional unlucky bastard I'm sure =)

Which would you rather fall under?

Im implying theyre a lot more survivable when they're ganked than a freighter in supposedly safer high sec.

the gankers brought friends; why didn't the freighter? you can't say "it's not balanced" when you're talking about 1 player vs more than 1 player. a single web alt would have helped it run away, for example.

cost isn't a balancing factor, stop pretending that it is.

you don't have forever to scan it, at all, especially if it has webbing assistance.

a low risk activity that guarantees you the loss of your ship, and only a 50% chance on loot? and there's "low" risk? are you sure about that?

it makes no sense to buff freighter EHP, at all.

I wonder how long 15 catalysts would last against a smartbombing battleship or two.

a catalyst has 3.9k ehp.

I'll let you do the math.

Statistically speaking, given the disparity of population numbers between highsec (80+% of characters) and everywhere else, highsec is a lot safer, unless of course you happen to be afk and/or in a loot piñata.

Its a multiplayer pvp game. You consent to the risk of PVP the moment you undock. If you lose 1v15, then that is your fault.
If you are 2v15, then chances of your survival greatly increase. It is highsec, not perfectsec.

You can reliably warp to 0 so one side of the gate is _very_ safe, on the other side, their bumper is not going to be on top of your freighter (on average he'll be several kms away), and you can own webs that can reach half across the gate sphere, and you get to choose when you freighter uncloaks - ie you can be within webrange at the instant your freighter appears.

By webbing your freighter its isk/hr picks up, ie the webber account is not an entirely dead overhead account either.
