EVE General Discussion

Well yes, it's not a problem.

The rest of my post shows the nature of the problem.

L4 missions that are doable in t1 fit t1 battleship with skills at IV, are much more easily done in faction fit ships with skills at V, and relevant boosters and implants.

Making the missions harder would do little or nothing to reduce the isk/hour made when doing missions in faction fit ships, but would make them inaccessible to newer players attempting them in t1 fit ships.

Blow up all the ships you want in HS.

No problem. More power to ya.

My point, is that you go red, sooner, faster, for doing so.

This promotes more PvP, in HS, where illegal repeat criminals can then more readily be aggressed.

FacPo is bullshit, and a NPC element.
CONCORD is bullshit, losing your ship is easily measured against the profits from your target.
Both are superficial and PvE elements. **** that.

The quicker illegal acts result in the required -5.0 for PLAYER aggression, the better, so as to return PvP to HS.

Its just stupid that career HS illegal aggrressors can operate under HS security, same as their prey.
The security standing loss is the missing element, especially past -5.0, so that PLAYERS can deal with it pre-emptively, rather than waiting on CONCORDS invariably, systemically, reactive and "too late " response.

This would be GOOD for more PvP.
As a repeat offender, your sec standing should reflect this.

That CODE can be used as an example is all the evidence required to conclude control of the game has been forfeited to the audience by the artist. (God love art lovers. They buy my paintings, but I'll be godammed if a viewer gets to touch MY canvas with a brush!)

It's impossible to disguise your activities when their result is on public display, or available for public use. Just by reading the negative space surrounding the silhouette provides more than enough information to the practiced eye. It's been evident for some time more attention is being paid to surface matters, and core matters seem too challenging. (I've stepped on a few toes here and provoked an authoritative response, so I won't go into further detail here.)

Even the increased presence on the other social media (the haunts of particular players) and the fading of the same presence here is evidence that the pilots seem to have forgotten where to find the wheelhouse. I've always said owners have the right to deal with their property how they see fit. However, in so doing they must live with the consequences. Personally, disloyalty is at the top of my sh*t list.

EVERY game out there has undergone radical transformation. It may even be a Chicken Little world response to an imagined threat. It may be real reaction to real bottom line threat...we (the peoples) have no way of knowing as corporations believe their attorneys and opt for an insular interface with the public (a word that depersonalizes the customer.)

The justification of meeting shareholder needs first becomes the mantra. Given this, "our" input automatically doesn't require serious attention. It's only when that bottom line becomes affected belated response is hurled into the mix, heavily sodden with promises, excuses and rationalized justifications.

There is no way of knowing if the "new" business model of free-to-play micro transactions was a remedy that was even required, much less if the need wasn't imagined the remedy became the cure. It's impossible for the players to know with certainty that their suggestions will actually have the effect they insist will result.

This is why the artist should be left to create the work. The viewers, or users, express judgement with their interest. EVE management can be proud to have been the recipients of a level of loyalty unsurpassed by any game. Their creation has been regaled with a phenominal array of third party support programming, and sympathetic web presence. So, it can be deduced there has always been a there there with EVE.

Nobody can be expected to be perfect. Even our beloved devs can attest to that, and of course over a protracted period of time (such has been the life of EVE) there was plenty of room for error. That the game still exists in the dynamic form it does attests to the fact what mistakes there have been have not been fatal. (Thanks Captain Obvious.) All this to say the artists have proven time and time again they are worthy of trust and confidence.

TL;DR (To conclude:) Rather than allowing the vagaries of public opinion steer the ship, may the artists paint the canvas as they see fit. We'll find what we're looking for there, even if it's something we've never seen before. That is, after all, the true appeal of EVE Online. (This post isn't CODE for anything.)

Probably because the common newbie's first motivation when starting their career in EVE Online usually doesn't fall on shooting freighters or industrial ships (or anything that moves) for the schadenfreude of it. They often elect themselves to honest activities that give a slow but steady increases in their security status.

Probably since people don't see many bonafide new players in Nullsec because of their habit of turning to fine red mist arbitarily, so the few ones that do visit Nullsec are already estabilished with ISK and ships obtained in Highsec, so they are naturally high in their security status!

Logic!

Why does nobody else shoot at reds?

Low hanging fruit here is to make missions unblitzable.

I think you are misunderstanding the concept of a "new player".

A new player is not someone who has spent time grinding up sec status to 5.0. Getting to a sec status of 5.0 with lvl1, 2 or even 3 missions is not an easy task and takes time. By the time someone gets to 5.0, I would not consider them a "new player".

A "New player" is someone who have just started playing EvE with a completely new character with no prior knowledge of the game. I don't understand why you are even arguing that 5.0 somehow is what a new player would have for sec. It is a fact, that every character starts at 0 sec status. It is not unrealistic, that a new player just joining the game, would by accident shoot someone and get concorded.

The latter player, is the one I don't want to be punished for mechanics they don't even understand. Not the lvl4 mission grinding or incursion running player, that somehow some people consider as "new players".

False analogy.
Although I do get what you mean.

You are confusing intervening in a criminal act, with attacking and subduing a known criminal.

It someone is red, I dont have to care about anything else. I can readily **** them up, anyways and always.

Do you see the difference?

If someone is red in HS, they are free game, for everyone.
Typically, as they walk down the street, anyone can stab them in the throat or pound their head to mash against a curb, without legal recourse against them.

Red is KOS. I can do whatever I want to them. Same as everywhere in space regarding a red.

Bullshit. I haven't seen any ganker with a sec status above -10.0.

As you state, I clearly understand whats going on and am much better at spinning the issues than you are.

Why have I not yet received a recruitement offer?

Prices are negotiable, against benefits.

Im streamrolling your best here, and planting seeds of dissent in many readers.
Wouldnt you rather make an ally and friend of me, rather deal with the groundswell of problems and awareness I am causing you?
