EVE General Discussion

Pretty simple and many will disagree:

negative 5 to 10, can not use a 0.5 or higher gate. Can not access High even in a pod

BEEP DONE!

If your caught recycling alts, all accounts related to your "real name" are banned.

Harsh but effective...Your choice to pirate in HIGH has consequences. Risk vs. Reward is achieved!

I want to point out the kills made by the character loyalanon and his buddies, specifically many of the kills made in Aufay (0.5) on 14th june. You can find them on eve-kill.net

I am not linking direct to the killboard, but his group (mostly his corporation "The Conference Elite" and a few others, suicide ganked freighters, many of them empty or carrying nothing of value. They also targetted other ships of value where they could cause a large isk loss to the player, even if they were certain to get nothing out of it for themselves.

It used to be just the freighters carrying too high value cargo that were targetted, but now, even empty ships are targetted.

I personally don't care if changes are made to fix this or not. It doesn't affect me directly, I do not use frieghters or other high value ships. This is just an observation I made, a line was crossed when they started targetting empty ships just for the sake of it. Is it time for change?

A -10 character, or a character with sec status below the accepted system minimum requirement should not be able to chain gank people. They should be barred from boarding a ship in high security space, or at least barred from entering warp in any ship except for a pod. It's exactly the same as when a concord flagged player tries to undock in a ship or board a ship, concord has you blocked from activating your warp drive. If concord can already do this, then there's no reason why they can't do this automatically to players who fall below the minimum system security status. They can still travel through empire in a pod, they just can't chain gank people. It's stupid that concord would allow this to happen.

Sounds good. How about -5 to +5 and you can't traverse lowsec gates. After all, what business do such upstanding citizens have on the bad side of town?

a line was crossed when they started targetting empty ships just for the sake of it.

If people really want to learn them, then they need to learn to ignore them after the gank.

The rage that results in local and Evemail makes for entertaining stories on the blog. So do the stories of the fail Corps that swear revenge.

While James puts the stories together, he doesn't really write them. They are written by those that rage and shed tears. If people just stopped doing that, accepted loss gracefully and moved on, the stories would dry up along with a lot of the enjoyment.

Just like in reality,

What about those of us who've never hurt a fly in highsec, but like to shoot first in lowsec.

That's not exactly a deterrent for people like that. They want to stay in highsec, and shut out all the people they don't like.

Instead, what you should offer is that if they want to balance risk and reward like that, since they'd be removing 99.9% of the risk out of highsec, that no single PvE activity in highsec should be able to make more than 100,000 isk per hour.

That'd fit risk/reward nicely.

^PvP

PvP.

Players verses dead duck, it's not what I would call PvP although technically it is. The only PvP from the freighter pilot is to try and escape, another words attempting to avoid PvP.
