So a suscriber can-¦t be bothered not to mine for a month but will never mine again (ragequit) when being blown up? Doesn-¦t really make sense to me, I must admit.
Of course, we are taking about a species that actually does the most boring part of this game, possible while being AFK and doing something else entirely, so "making sense" might not be the strongest argument here...... Forum-unbanned since 2011.10.20. |

When i read dont mine, take your time to fight its a joke ? null sec player mine under bs protection and say high sec miner are carebear..... it's a piti to read that. In this game everybody could find is way, but some guys have decide that you cant do that because its a pvp game.... these guys represent under 30% of the players and cry. Eve isnt a pvp game.. eve is all that you want !!! go in your null sec systems little dictators.. dont forget eve is the property of all the players not a little part who want direct the others. |

How to stay safest: Go unsub and play another MMO. Eventually the dropping subs will give CCP an incentive to change it. Then the Goons mass unsub and we see if CCP are willing to accept THAT loss to prevent noobs and miners from leaving http://www.bioone.org/doi/abs/10.2317/JKES0811.17.1 Bees That Drink Human Tears -- ITS SCIENCE!!! |

The game works as designed. Sandbox means you need to adapt because your enemies are doing the same.
The way to stay safe is to essentially make yourself unappealing to go after. This means bare basics t1 Barges with nothing special on them. Insure them and don't cry when they get popped as it's only a 5 mil or so isk loss at that point - or none if you're mining for a while before you get blown up.
And it will be a while. Pirates, knowing they will lose their ships in 0.5 and take a sec status hit won't risk it for no payout and equal isk in losses.

Did you know that mining in a maxed BS is funnier than do so in a Hulk?
It takes about 4 minutes to fill your hold, then you just jump back to station, then warp to another bookmark and repeat...this also makes easier to meet rats as you'll be jumping to "fresh" unspawned belts on every shift.
Compared to that, it takes about 13 minutes to load a Hulk to the top...
Ore per minute is kinda carp (750ish m3 minus drones), but fun per minute is sweet. EVE residents: 5% WH; 8% Lowsec; 15% Nullsec; 72% Highsec. CSM 7: 1 highsec resident out of 14.-á

A few month's(?) ago we jumped on a cap ship, badly cynoed in, way, way of docking range. He was part of a bunch of caps that jumped in all together. Before he got his triage up he was dead.
I went happy to bed, knowing we killed a cap. Then I woke up feeling sad for the dude because non of his "friends" undocked and even tried to help him.
Weird no? I enjoyed massively killing it then extrapolated on that and next day felt not so 'happy' about it.
Then again this whole game is about dog eats dog. If you don't eat dog, dog eats you.
Thing is, shooting any mining specialized vessel is like fishing with dynamite sticks. Only way for the fish to survive is not be there at all.
Real men don't fish with dynamite. :o

Funny how ppl use the sandbox as an excuse for hulkageddon and yet if you point out the game is a sandbox an thats why high sec isnt the starter zone they still QQ lol http://www.bioone.org/doi/abs/10.2317/JKES0811.17.1 Bees That Drink Human Tears -- ITS SCIENCE!!! |

You can, you can. Only issue is that it works for Hulks but Macks always die even if you instalock the dessie.
I actually wonder why Macks get such crap tank. After all they are also 0.0 ships for the ice out there, aren't they? Auditing | Collateral holding and insurance | Consulting | PLEX for Good Charity
