Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Ganking is by far the most punished activity in EVE and the only risk people in high sec face I might add.

If you want 100% safety go play star trek online.

Not to mention are guaranteed to lose your ships whenever you attack. Even in nullsec you don't have that much risk.

Its not risky loosing ur ship, you know you'll lose it in advance and ultimately it will be used for what you intended it to be used for. Its more like a downpayment. The risk is not making up the cost of it in isk and or lolz

You cant recycle ganking alts, thats a bannable offence.

Again, highsec bears with zero knowledge of ganking flipping out on the forums.

not the same... you dont always get to pick everything about your engagements.

lol, im not freaking out. Just pointing out the hypocrisy surrounding this topic

you do pick out the weak... if you want too kill weak stuff why not go kill npcs? or play star trek online as you suggested?

Or maybe WoW on a pvp server and kill low level players on your max level toon?

NPCs, STO and WoW don't fly around in EVE with a few billion isk in the hold.

so ur in it for large rewards w/ no risk.

Might i suggest a single player games with cheat code / console access. Some games you can even make the NPC drop whatever you want, and enable god mode, all those cool things. You can kill plenty of NPCs with high rewards and no risk.

Dear Baltec, your post in its sincerity is wonderful and sum up the spirit of EVE.

Many years ago there was no hi sec ganking, or at least it was very rare. You had instead people stealing from your can. Regardless, hi sec ganking is needed and almost a mandatory feature of EVE as today.

I'm a high sec "industrialist", I live everyday with the issue of the possible gankers, while you mine or haul your stuff from a place to another. However, the fact you have the shadow of the killer behind you give a reason to things like "Tanking your Skiff" or "Fit Bulkheads to your Orca", otherwise why would I choose a lesser mining yield ship or an inferior cargo space fit?

As you said the ganker prey the weak, or as I prefer to say, they go for the easier target. Let's say you warp in a belt with two mining team, a band of hulks (either tanked or untanked) and some skiffs (against mixed fits). Who would you pick first? I guess the hulks, and probably after you try to gank down the skiffs.

From an industrialist point of view, the real hi sec industrialist thank you guys for your hard work in weeding off the weak and people whom take poor decisions. Every time you kill a mining barge, someone sells a new one, every time a freighter is destroyed while full of goods, my goods rise in price and someone sells a new freighter.

This is what the ex-CCP economist wanted, consumption, and fit in the vision of CCP seagull of "everything should be destroyable, and eventually, destroyed" like stated at the fan fest. Hi-Sec ganking is hardly going away.

P.s. I love how my browsers tried to correct every time Ganking with Banking.
