Player Features and Ideas Discussion

lol yes no one would ever be ganked again.... ever because as we all know you can't pop a ship in under 1 second.

Concord kills 100% of pilots illegally firing on other capsuleers in high sec.

I'd say they 'defend their territory' well enough.

I understand the frustration that many people feel when attacked by CODE.

I have lost ships and been podded more than once.

CODE does serve a useful function in the game by encouraging miners to train up ship protective skills and encouraging mining in fleets with Squad Leaders that have training in appropriate skills or even flying well fit and equipped ORCA.

There is one thing which really annoys me however: How is it that pilots with -9 standing or lower and with a fresh criminal incident tag flashing are allowed to dock at stations?

I want the chance to hunt the jerk down in system and send him home. Chances of success would be small if the transgressor were smart and keep moving.

Telling people to fit their ships is just arrogant nonsense. It takes a couple of years in game to fit out a really stable , bullet proof mining ship. At one time we only worried about individual pilots. Then it was two pilots attacking the same ship. Last week I watched 5 Code pilots attack one ship.


There were three Code ships and their spotter working a system that I mined in this morning.

Ok that is fair enough if extortion is acceptable in high sec. There is no penalty applied to ganking miners.

Not every player in EVE is able to participate in a regular mining fleet.
Give the Occasional miner a break and make it possible to get if not certain to get even.

Don't give me kill rights!! as an answer. Those Gankers are criminal flagged already. They are often one of half a dozen similar characters spread over a couple of accounts. If things get too intense they lay of that character until it has cooled down.

The only real solution is to accept that miners are going to get ganked but make it more possible for a little emotional satisfaction on the miners part.

It's no different from any other kind of "mommie come save me" whining. it happens in multiple ways.

People would grr Goons all the time. On my main pvp toon I've got years worth of Goon killmails (I grr with Guns,. or did till Goons kicked my alliance out of Tribute, didn't want that region anyways). I just couldn't understand the people willing to post on forums over and over and over about how goons are ruining the game but couldn't be bothered to shoot at said goons with the imaginary guns this game has.

And don't get me started on AFK cloaking. I used to post "screw the afk-cloaker" ratting fits (like my warp stabbed FoFmissile/drone Typhoon) in those afk cloaker threads and you could damn near hear the crickets chirping. This is where I learned that the perpetual victim types don't want answers, they want coddling, they want someone else to expend the effort they themselves can't be arsed to to make a situation better.

That kind of attitude is bewildering to me. Most of the things people complain about are so easily countered it's not even funny.

What is a "dec" in this situation? How is it different than the faction police chasing individual outlaws? Are you just proposing that if a corp has an average security status below -5, that all members of that corp be chased by the faction police?

If so, I don't see what that will do to the out-of-corp alts.

Sure you can. There are many ways to counter gankers, even groups of them. I think the real problem players have is the idea of having to actually be at the keyboard to do so.

Time for the weekley "whaaa CODE!" thread I see.

I find this one to be an excellent medium well with a good amount of salt. Could use a bit of ground ginger.

A new player got ganked, complains, and it's a "tear post" because you guys can't wait to chase every single new player out of eve. Is this what's ganking about ? killing eve by eliminating new players because everyone start out at highsec ?

Don't surprised of CCP decide to crack down on you if you **** them off.

Translation

If a 'new player' gets ganked and that makes him/her think "I don't know what happened, but Im gonna find out so that doesn't happen again, i might even find a way to gain revenge on the gankers", that marks them as "EVE material".

If the same thing happens and the new player thinks "that's unfair, i hate this game, im gonna go to the forums and get the developers to change this, else I'm out of here!", Well, I say "Good riddance"

LOL Wut. You are new to this game, you finally trained for your first venture, you go to belt, and boom, suddenly, it's gone and you are a frozen corpse. Of course any sane person would say "**** this game" rather than keep playing, especially if they are on trial.

At the end of the day, I am not the one making the call, CCP is. technically the own everything in EVE, just keep that in mind.
