I find emailing marks you caught on autopilot in a shuttle to be a sign of bad taste. And I do pretty nasty things to people. Pirate

Agreed, tears are only glorious if they come naturally.

Since when exactly did that give anyone an advantage in a fight?

Look. If you're going to have auto-pilot, it's tokenistic crap to have the ship fall short of the jumpgate then auto-chug up to it. Manual jumping and auto-jumping should work the same. Why? Just because it looks like CCP intentionally set-up people who use the feature. Since we know CCP staff plays, one has to WONDER why they created this form of entrapment.

That being said, I don't auto-pilot. It's an idiotic practice just because the ship falls short of the jumpgate and you have to auto-chug up to it. Crying about someone ganking you as you auto-piloted is stupider than CCP having the ship fall short of the gate. Since you KNOW what's going to happen and what that might lead to, and it then leads to what you KNOW might happen, STFU about it. You're stupid. Live with it, or WISE UP.

I don't care if CCP changes this, or not. I don't care if people who auto-pilot lose everything they own in one great flurry of dessy fire. I just calls 'em likes I sees 'em and in this case the auto-pilot logic makes as much sense as the bounty logic...well...don't get me started. This isn't TL;DR yet...is it?

PS (EDIT) I'm making a list of you people who HASHTAG in our HOLY FORUM HERE. Take your pedestrian, lowbrow digital cliches elsewhere. This forum is for civilized civil disobedience, not such cheap riff-raff. I'm sending my list to Santa. Be advised.

We must accommodate the idiocracy.

You can take comfort in the fact that your assailant is so bad at PvP that he's willing to trade a Thrasher for a shuttle just to pad his collection of killmails.

His real hope, of course, was to harvest some tears, perhaps in the form of hate mail. He got something better, though: a public forum post. I really hope he doesn't read this. You gave him exactly what he wanted.

Autopiloting in a shuttle with no implants and some low value unresearched BPOs in the hold is a great way of baiting hisec campers into getting concorded. Unfortunately you do not get hte actual kms but the effect is the same.

You do, however, get killrights, which can sometimes be sold for spare change.

Those who gank in High Sec really have no skills what-so-ever. Otherwise they would take theirselves into low and null and PvP like real PvPer's.

The only reason that High Sector ganking exists is because Low and Null Sec Alliances fear High Sector amassing a large standing armada to invade their territory with to completely decimate an alliance.

....Such a day will indeed happen.

When that day has been decided Low and Null Sec will feel the reverberation of the might of High Sec as thousands of combat ships leave their ports and enter into Null to claim our territory and to evict you.

High Sec ganking is a hindrance like a mosquito to say the least....but when the High Sec armada arrives that when Null will know that their judgment day has cometh.

The invasion of Null Sec will happen.....it will happen.

Even bigger lol, there is more chance of you being hit by an ocean liner while walking down your local high street than this ever happening.

If highsec ganking is such a small hindrance why do people like you put so much effort into whining about it?

The problem is, people don't believe you when you talk **** and tell people you can give them a "real fight" in a wh, because you can't prove you actually have any pvp experience at all without outing yourself.

Also, and this is more of a general question for the mods:
"In your mind, all black people are drug dealers and all jews are rich too, hu?
All the people from poland are thiefs, all germans are *****"

Can we not say "*****" here?

edit: holy crap, we can't say the word for WWII fascist german political party members, it gets auto corrected. That seems silly.


Yeah, it's silly.
But if it makes you feel any better, we can totally say "Motherfuckers" in here.

True, but complaining about it is equally pedantic. Not to mention, easily construed as attention seeking in and of itself.

If you really do have such contempt, just don't post about it.

Null, Low and Highsec are just different sets of game mechanics. We chose to fight in the environment which has the harshest consequences for the aggressor. Why do you think we would do worse if we venture to low/null where the playing field is suddenly balanced and CONCORD doesn't show up to save your ass if we spray antimatter in your face?

We actually do venture out there for some pew pew from time to time. It's the only place where I can actually use other ships than a gank ship (tanks Faction Police).

So I gave it a little thought and came to the conclusion that reducing the autopilot warp distance to gates to 7500 m would probably be a good thing for the game.
Now before you hang, draw and quarter me, hear me out, please!
As it is now, with 20 km distance, autopilot is simply too dangerous to be even considered for most pilots, so manual piloting with warp to zero is more or less standard.
If the distance was -for example- 7500, which means 5000 m from jump distance instead of 17500, many more players would probably be tempted to try to take their chances.
This would most likely lead to more interceptable and gankable targets at every gate, resulting in CONTENT and EMERGENT GAMEPLAY.

I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.

EVE players have a problem with everything that everyone else does man. It's not new and it's not surprising.
