Crime & Punishment

Oh well. The skillless deserve kills too I guess. If CCP is happy to pander to them while losing customers it's not my problem. CCPs problem.

Lmao. Try isboxing stealth bombers and tell me it's easy. Takes a lot of effort and it's expensive to learn to do. Unlike sitting in high popping ships with alpha and nothing to lose.

I still love this thread.

The tears are an added bonus to the tasty, tasty carebear loot.

The other 3 areas... that carebears won't go to either? I mean, what point are you trying to make?

That "we" go where the targets are? Duh. Especially when the targets are as soft, fattened, and as prone to slack in their own defense as you lot.

Everybody watch out! We have a bad ass over here !



back to topic:

I quite agree mantaining the sec status and to please Concord is way to easy. That beeing said, High Sec Citizens have to change their attitudes towards their ships. Buying that faction ship or that marauder, naming it Betty Sue and pumping it full shiny stuff is not the final word in EvE.

It doesen't matter if it is a 2 mill Frigate or a 2 bill marauder, your attitude towards the ship should always be " Allright, I invested time and money in you, now pay me back double before you blow up."

Don't treat your ships like you treat your girlfriends and wives, treat your ships like a pimp treats his whores. They are there to make him money, not to look pretty or shiny.

Believe me when I tell you that you're making my point . If you think your hi-sec targets are "soft" and "fat" and don't defend themselves then maybe they just can't , effectively ! Maybe they just don't have enough protection .

A miner sees a ship cruise into a belt . It could be anything . Even something that doesn't look dangerous like a miner or maybe a hauler but it has a passive targeter mod and unknown to the miner it makes a bookmark of the exact position of the miner . It buzzes off and suddenly the miner is beset by several catalysts that drop right in on his position to blow him up at close range .
Not something that would happen very often to an alert miner in the "other 3 areas" but is a common practice in high sec where gankers take advantage of the huge number of pilots there . If you ran from every shadow in hi-sec you wouldn't be able to mine much and thats a fact not lost on gankers .

You think there are NO carebears in in null sec ? Think again . The difference is fewer pilots and the general knowledge that anything that is NOT blue is assumed to be an enemy .

You think there's no PvP in null sec ? I'll assure you that there is . In fact PvPers are more sought after than any other profession out there since these are the people that keep the corps and alliances from being taken over by others looking for new territory .
If you mine out there or do PL or are an industrialist you ARE expected to go to any of their CTA's [call to arms] in the best ship you can fly effectively . A good PvPer is a STAR and anything else comes in 2nd best !

A PvPer in high sec is generally considered to be like the hunter who's not real good and is satisfied to shoot at chitmunks and sparrows .......rabbits if they don't bite .

Is that nameless NPC Corp Nothing still talking crap in this forum.

Why are you people feeding a Nothing NPC Corp alt?

We're always trying to get better standings to have more and more locators. We run missions all the time when targets are docked up or playing skillqueue online. I'm not baller enough to get out my Navy Raven to do it like you, but that's because along with all the other things in Eve I'm bad at, I am continually poor and would cry if it got blown up. But we'll do cruisers or battlecruisers.

So far 0 ships have been lost while we were missioning.

Well I like to think that when at war both sides would be doing the hunting. Probably naivete on my part, but it's my first corp's fault. When we were dec'd by someone who wanted to kill one of our offline POS's, we spent the week hunting that corps members. Got my first PvP kill during that war. I target painted the guy to death.

We're at war with a larger scarier bunch of mercs* right now. I'm hunting them just like any other war target. If I ever find one separated from the pack that I think I can kill, I'll go for it.





* we're not mercs and we're not scary at all. more like cuddly tapirs.

Hey, if they don't look pretty they don't make money.


The real solution to this is actually better mission mechanics that don't call for totally different mentality to PvP, and that reward several pilots working in a fleet. A gang of 2 navy BS & 2 T1 Logi with T2 fittings & buffer tank will be way way harder to gank than active tanks forced by the solo centric design.
