EVE General Discussion

Hello OP and welcome,

I've just studied your killmail, so please allow me to shed some light on the entire situation:

1. The kill took place in Old Man Star, which is a low security system, where aggressive actions against other players are pretty much legal ( although they will suffer a slight loss in security status). Furthermore, Old Man Star is kind of notorious as a very active pvp system, so you might have been in way over your head there.

2. You were not killed by the space police (better known as Concord, sometimes also CODE.) You were killed by players belonging to the rather reputable pirate Alliance Shadow Cartel. Why these fine people suddenly resort to baby seal clubbing is honestly beyond me- I suppose they mistook you for a scout alt or a cyno alt.

3. Attacking a ship that seems weak to you is exactly the right thing to do to make eve great again- but please note that when you are flying a noobship with civilian weapons, there is no such thing as "weaker than you"- you're pretty much the bottom of the food chain and should aim to get into a somewhat better ride before giving it an other try.

Since you were killed in regular pvp action, there's nothing a GM can do for you- everything working as intended.
But you had shown your resolve to engage in pvp even against overwhelming odds, which is a pretty nice attitude for a newbie.
So, from my personal and limited perspective, I'd say Shadow Cartel are now responsible for you. You break it, you buy it.
I feel they have some kind of moral obligation to either take you in and train you in the way of the pew or at least point you towards a newbie friendly corp which will do it for them.
Anyway, I'd really like to see someone from SC commenting here.
