Crime & Punishment

Wondering if there are any loose associations ( not corporations) of EVE players that get together to take out some of the really bad players out there.

If not, hereby soliciting EVE players to see if there is interest in forming such.

To clarify: Got caught coming out of a gate, by a guy with a security index of -9.6, for unprovoked aggression. My partner had the same thing happen to her. We have about 2 months in to the game, and we don't belong to a large corp, so up to us to protect ourselves, and get satisfaction. I have no problem with that, but to handle people with a lot more experience and cash will require a group, not to mention, some way of finding out where they are, etc. In other words, some strategy and tactics.

I would propose a very flexible grouping ( almost just a list of names) of people interested in helping others and each other, willing to get together every once in a while to play vigilante. At that time, the worst offenders could be hunted down for a taste of their medicine. I would specifically exclude from this list anybody that gives fair warning before aggression, but am open to comments on this. My prime goal is to go after the guys that hide in the bush with alpha strikes, just don't see the fun there, and really believe that they use the game ( and all the other players) in a bad way.

Let the trolling begin....

The Skunkworks is at your service for hurting bad people and, in fact, has been doing so for nearly a year now.

I don't hang out with loose people

Better than prudes.

Why is this sort of behaviour discouraged and met with trolling? It's actually really good both for these guys to try something new, embodying what EVE is really meant to be about and even give old pirates something new to shoot at.

When we were a part of one of the FOTM Pirate Alliances that ruled/blued low-sec Genesis, the most fun we had was when carebears/Militiabears would go postal and, successfully or not, try and storm us with a ragtag army of awkwardly fit Rifters, Drakes and Ravens. We wouldn't respond with caps, we'd just have a shootout and feel like Spartans.

So let me get this right. You jump into a lowsec system, Gonditsa, which is known to be regularly camped by Unprovoked Agression (a pirate Corporation) in a HORRIBLY fit Hurricane (http://eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=12726276) and you think you can possibly get revenge against these guys? This is hilarious.

When you jump into lowsec, fully expect that your going to be attacked. That's why there's a friggen warning that pops up when you hit jump. Secondly, fix your Hurricane fit FFS. Minmatar ships use either projectiles or missiles, or a mix of both depending on the ship. Look at the info on your ship and see what bonuses they get and use the weapons it's designed for. You have shamed every Hurricane pilot by putting Railguns on it. Also, you see all those empty lowslots? Use them. I'll even help you out here man. These are two very decent Hurricane fits:

1.) Shield: http://eve.battleclinic.com/loadout/58544-Hurricane-shield-kiting-cane-give-him-some-love.html
2.) Armor: http://eve.battleclinic.com/loadout/41428-Hurricane-da-best-Cane.html

If you can't fit a Cane similar to that, you have no business in lowsec. Stay in highsec and keep training, and learn PVP from someone who actually knows what they are doing and has a record to back it up. Also, you pick one type of tank (Shield or Armor) and stick to it. Never, ever, for the love of baby Jesus, ever try to shield and armor tank it. You will die horrible deaths and be laughed at by people such as myself.

stop divulging l33t pvp sekritz

And this is what happens when you leave your pc for a few minutes.

This. Once you get the adrenaline rush from trying to hunt these guys, you will get bored because you cant catch them. Trouble is, now you need more, and nuet targets suddenly seem more appealing. Enjoy your path to the dark side
