Anyway CODE members will still gank you, permit or not.

Best for you is to find a quiet 0.5 system, don't fly a notank barge, ask friend to pop concord npc in belt, and most important watch local sometimes.

Is inciting civil unrest and mass unsubs a reason for a permaban?

Not asking because of CODE ...
... but because of myself. ^_^

if I gank, I gank anyone and everyone that I deem gankable.

CODE are scrubs.

Also: Sole, you look normal. are you feeling alright?

Hey that sounds like me. xD

I'm feeling blue. Hahahahaha.
Mom's waiting for the ambulance.
Grandma again.

How she even managed to stay alive over all these months is a mystery.


Her body releases water on a dangerous level.
Kidneys.


Yeah I don't give a **** about telling this,
you asked me if I was alright.

For days now it was obvious she'll get back to hospital,
no wonder I pissed off half a dozen people again. ^_^


Lalalala .......... nah I'm not alright,
thanks for asking. :)

No one is safe from ganking, and by buying a "permit", all you are doing is protecting yourself from one group of people who gank. That's all.

As for groups who aggressively gank those who do buy permits, I'm sure they exist, but I've never heard of a specific group.


With a permit you still have to follow the Code. When you are playing like a bot a permit won't help. Cool

I can see what you see not - vision milky then eyes rot. When you turn they will be gone - whispering their hidden song.

Other supporters of the New Order will gank you too. But then, if you were following that CODE you would be safer from being ganked.

If miners actually follow the CODE then your job will be harder! Is this why you deem them scrubs? It may not seem so at first sight, but the CODE is there to protect the miners from the dangers of bot-aspirancy Twisted

You might benefit from considering the bigger picture before you assign immature names to the members of this noble movement.

I have only my own anecdotal evidence based on my one miner to draw on but I'd say no. I have mined multiple billions of isk of ore and ice while AFK. No permit.

Out of the 10 or so gank attempts, one was successful, none were CODE corps and the rest were randoms looking for easy tears. So I'd think that even if you were stupid enough to buy a permit, you would still get ganked more often than not. Dedicated permit gankers or not, the end result is a permit amounts to no protection of any kind.

Exploding spaceships are one aspect of the game only. There are many others.

Renegade Heart is getting "the bigger picture" better than you ever will. There are some people who just lack the social skills or the required amount of good humor to understand what we are all about, like Beers Veldspar or you, no offense.

But never mind, rage at me babe, I like it when you call me a noob Blink

Conflict, within the bounds of the sandbox, is one of the most important concepts in EVE Online. Design decisions for the game are based on the idea of "will this encourage more conflict?"

If you cannot handle the most obvious representation of conflict (spaceships exploding), you are playing the wrong game. It's totally fine to lose customers who fundamentally disagree with your design decisions in a MMOG, and quite frankly, it makes the game stronger when they leave.


PVE exists in EVE for a reason, and that reason is to encourage more chances for player conflict. PVE is the "bait" to get you to take risks that may result in PVP.

7.2 CAN I AVOID PVP COMPLETELY? No; there are no systems or locations in New Eden where PvP may be completely avoided. --Eve New Player Guide

Yeah, it's part of the spaceship part of the game. If you undock a spaceship there is always a chance it explodes. If you don't like exploding spaceships you should just stay docked, that's where the part with no exploding spaceships happens.

This.

Buying a permit just gets you laughed at, it doesn't save you from being ganked.

The answer is simple. Just f***ing tank your ship properly. Shield extender rigs, shield extender mod, an invuln.. maybe shield booster. Would you rather save a few seconds per cycle or keep your 200m ISK ship? Would you rather have 100 extra M3 or lose your 200m ISK ship?

TANK YOUR F***ING SHIP, and CODE. will go away overnight.

TANKING is your MINING PERMIT, and CONCORD will see that this permit is superior to CODE. permits.

Destruction is indeed a fundamental aspect of the universe. But it's no more or less important than the other two that everyone seems to forget to mention.
