EVE General Discussion

Alt online would fix that "issue" easyly tho. Perma -10 is a bigger deal than being unable to talk to guristas agents for example.

I have been in this game for a week and I have only been reading the wiki and unwiki on this game for a week.

I pilot manually everywhere I go. If I know not to use autopilot, then why do you use it?

1. Do not fly what you can't afford to loose. (Including cargo)
2. Do not autopilot.
3. Do not go for a cup of coffe while mining with a full cargobay. (Thank Thor I had aligned to a stargate.)
4. Always insure your ship unless it is a rookie ship.
5. Trust noone.

The free ship given to all?....

Insurance is important for a genuine newbie, it covers part of the cost of the stuff they lose figuring out the sometimes arcane methods of doing things. It's quite profitable, relatively speaking, if you insure the ships that you're expected to lose during the military tutorials.

Ok, i'm insuring my proteus right now, you guys convinced me.

Edit. And my assault frigs.

The solution to ganking is to stop flying ships with fits and/or cargo that are worth ganking, it's not rocket science. If people want to stop being targets then stop acting like one so don't look at others for both blame and solution to your problems, look at yourselves.

- don't faction fetish **** fit
- don't haul ridiculous cargo values
- don't be afk
- actually TANK your ships (it's a radical concept, I know)
- stop being clueless on basic game mechanics.
- don't have a big mouth making you stand out
- if you're mining; stop being in the lazy/logical systems

In short; don't be an idiot. Ganking is mostly just Darwinism and we can never have too much of that in EVE.

Do you realize what thread you're in?

Nah just reinstate insurance for victims of CONCORD.

Insurance is only good if you are planning to lose your ship. You get a 40% payout anyway, so when you pay for max insurance you are paying 30% for the chance to get back an extra 60% if you die, so overall you gain +30%.
If you don't die, the insurance is wasted, and you have to reinsure. So now overall if you die, you are breaking even. After that, every time you don't die and have to reinsure, you'll be losing a further 30% of the ship's value. So basically, if you don't plan on having a large risk of dying in 12 weeks, don't bother.

Just like it always was possible to be ganked and yes, that did happen. Much more expensive ships were used even cuz you still got insurance on your battleship if you suicided something.
