Crime & Punishment

Nah, I'd rather continue to be right, as always, in this game. The code folks wishing me away ain't gonna make it so. Every day highsec PvE players are able to accumulate isk without permits and with minimal risk, is just another day where code keeps on losing. That's why we don't need a "war on gankers" like OP wants...we just need to continue on doing our thing.

+1...the whole Grrr Veers is getting boring. State your opinion, and feel free to disagree with what others say. But do it respectfully, and in compliance with forum rules, and don't engage in personal attacks.

Stop focusing on the poster, and focus on the IDEAS. And if you can't do that respectfully, just zip it and move on.

No...a coward only acts when he knows he has the advantage and there isno risk of loss. Since you cannot "die" for real in a game, this says a lot. Your logic is flawed and does not apply to a virtual world.

Exactly...so what's the problem? Besides, if there's nothing to prove...why all the hooplah on the forums?

Here's a cookie.

No...that wouldn't help. The problem is that gankers can blow up expensive PvE ships with cheap gank ships. This lets them shelter themselves from financial risk. Additionally, the consequences for ganking are minimal, loss of gank ship and a 15 minute timeout. Both elements need strengthening. Getting rid of cheap gank ships and imposing real punishments on criminals in highsec.

I see....well if options are unlimited, then I would like to be able to blow up Jita 4-4. I'd like to blow up stargates, conquer territory in highsec, invade stations through ground combat. Fact is the game is all about limiting choices. Concord limits choices. Facpo limit choices.

Why should missioners fit for pvp in highsec? I don't. There is a police force, I just need to be not so brain dead as to engage in pvp, and as long as i do that the invincible space police will protect me.

Happy new year, Veers.

And to the rest of CODE, for that matter.

uhm ok not sure about the first one....and of course this isnt world of tanks.....its EvE and doing that would make smaller ships even more useless in a real fight (fleet battle of some sort) so not really sure that is a workable idea.

2.) Ok so you believe its easier to have a mandated system of NPC style protection or in this case Admin protection? No that definitely will not work because you then are completely destroying a play style. This is not WOW and never should be like it so chuck that idea in the trash. (At FANFEST ideas like this was given a flat no by numerous Devs as taking things away from the players and they are or at least were pretty unified in not taking away playstyles....modify yes....make them unplayable no)

Personally i would not mind though seeing something more like based on negative sec status the inability to dock up in relevant highsec stations.
A.) Gankers can still do what they do, just 1 system over form up on a neut orca or something (prolly a fleet of orcas in some cases) jump in ship warp to gate then to target....just another step or two that needs to be taken to get around it.
B.) Pods i think are scannable are they not? gives hunters/whiteknights a reason to use their scan ships and what not and try to thwart any plans by the gankers. it provides content for both sides and A+B will force both sides to react and counter react to each other.
C.) Need to dock up....well ratting and security tags were created for a reason and maybe they wold finally get some use this way.
D.) maybe a once upon a time carebear might see the merit finally of picking up a gun and doing justice themselves once able to possibly effectively hunt gankers.

Because that's what you do when you want to survive. You don't go into a rough neighborhood without some kind of protection..unless you are a fool or have a death wish. And yes Veers, hi-sec is a rough neighborhood. Do you even really believe half of what you say...or do you just say it to troll/try to sound inportant. The more and more you post, the more you contradict your own words. We don't need a game style change..we need a player style change..personal responsibility and awareness are the key...if you don't want to take the time or think you don't/shouldn't have to, you will not survive.
