I've learned over time that EVE is not "safe"!
Lesson 1:
I used to jet can mine, can thieves will ove in and take some of your ore. Solution....accept the small loss, record the thieve's name, and report him to corporation / allinace for negative standing. If spotted in Low Sec, he is fair game!
Lesson 2:
Never place a bounty on a thief, pirate, whomever you don't like. They will just jump into a shuttle and have a corp mate pop them and collect your bounty.
Lesson 3:
Never auto pilot! Certainly not in low sec, and not wise (for the reason you mentioned) in high sec.
Jump to Zero is your friend.

The only problem here was you. Don't make yourself attractive to gankers, make it as safe as possible for yourself. Never Autopilot FLY WITH CORP MATES Tank your ship as much as possible if you move expensive stuff
AND NO WORKS FINE!

High sec IS much safer than low sec and null sec. Go back to WOW if you want NO consequences whatsoever. The fact is, with a little bit of care and effort, no one will bother ganking you in high sec. Except maybe the goons.

] Quote: WHO THEY TARGET. People with a lot of cargo and high value item's. Mainly Transport Ship's, Industrials ships, And Frieghters. usaylly but not always one's on auto pilot.
1: don't put all your eggs in 1 basket. 2: never ever ever ever fly autopilot. Be paranoid. Be afraid, Be very afraid, and then paranoid.
Quote: HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF Use cargo containers they can't see what you have inside them
Wrong! A cargo scanner does see what ever is in your GSC password protected or not. Quote: you are no longer safe on auto pilot in high sec.
You never where! The moment you undock you agree by the games mechanics to be part willingly or not of PvP. Only docked up you are safe.
Now really, EVE is a game with consequences. Live with it or move on to a game where it doesn't matter what you do. Everything is working here as intended.

lol, You're a dill-hole.
Why put this extreme effort into a whine/cry thread? You had to know that people would immediately call you a douche bag and the sorts. Learn to EVE. It's a PvP game, not "Internet Spaceships Asteroid Mining Simulator" or "Intergalactic Mission Running." It's EVE. You are not safe anywhere. Your vast misunderstanding of the game mechanics, coupled with this proposal to CCP is hilarious. I'm a trader and I don't give a flying **** about suicide gankers. I think it makes things more interesting, when I choose to haul my own stuff, and I see a bunch of yellows sitting on a gate not moving. Keeps things from getting too boring.
Everyone needs to embrace this, and everything else that carebears whine about, as part of the game. Never gonna change. (at least I hope not)

T2 haulers exist for a reason. Use a tanked deep space transport for hauling big valuable stuff and a blockade runner for hauling little valuable stuff. All you have to do is make it not worth their time and ships and you won't get suicided.
I was on auto in a T2 hualer thought it was safe to do that in high sec

Ok, Except that self destruct does absolutely no damage to surrounding ships.
Originally by: IRISH RIAN HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF Use cargo containers they can't see what you have inside them(may not stop them tho)
Again, Wrong, The only difference when scanning someone carrying his stuff inside a cargo container is that the container shows up as an additional item, It still lists the stuff inside the container as well.
Originally by: IRISH RIAN make a courier contract(doen't work if you need the items now or are trying to play the market)
This actually works, just remember to set a high enough collateral to cover the possible loss.
Originally by: IRISH RIAN Don't use auto pilot in high sec when moving stuff.
Excellent advice.
Originally by: IRISH RIAN you are no longer safe on auto pilot in high sec.
AP in high sec was never safe to begin with...
Originally by: IRISH RIAN WHAT CCP DOSE WHEN PETITIONED Thats part of the game nobody said high sec. was safe.
Exactly, High sec is SafER, not safe.
Originally by: IRISH RIAN MY ???'s FOR CCP WHY do we have high sec? WHY dose auto pilot dump you 15k from a gate? WHY do we have auto pilot? WHY can anyone loot your actual wreck, not a NPC wreck?
1: to provide a somewhat safer place to play than low/null sec. 2: to give you a reason not to use AP all the time. 3: to give you a way to move from place to place without having to stare at the monitor for 30 jumps. 4: because the game is built around the idea of any profession (including stealing from wrecks of player ships killed during a war you're not involved in.) being allowed, Also, There's no difference between player wrecks and npc wrecks, It's perfectly possible to steal from both.
Originally by: IRISH RIAN i can't jam him in high sec so why can he scan me?
Because jamming is an offensive act, Scanning isn't.
Originally by: IRISH RIAN
IDEA 2: Is limit who can take from your wreck in high sec. The only person's that should be able to take from your wreck is you and the person who killed you. what this dose is makes the person have to go back to your wreck after they get concorded. So it give's you the chance to get there first and get back your loot and be waiting there for some revenge... Also those day on sucide ganking alts won't have a high enough security status to go back and pick up your stuff.
Again, The whole basis of the game is that anything goes as long as it's all ingame, This would violate that principle.
Also, There's no such thing as "day one suicide ganking alts", A one day old character don't have the skill points necessary to kill anything before concord and/or gate guns blow them up in high sec.
Originally by: IRISH RIAN
IDEA 3: If some one steals from your ship werck in high security and not an NPC wreck, your actual wreck. If they didn't kill you they sould have a higher penalty put on them then just a 15min kill right. reason they take your loot and set in station for 15 min till they can do it agian to someone else. THATS A CROOK oF ****! they need to get concord and blown up and then they can go back to there wreck and take the stuff leagally from there own wreck.
Doesn't even make any sense, And once again makes theft impossible and rewards laziness and stupidity.
Originally by: IRISH RIAN THESE IDEAS SHOULD STOP OR PREVENT SUCIDE GANKING
Which, As others have already pointed out is why it will never be implemented, The whole basis of the game is that you are NEVER safe, Yes, you are safER in high sec, that's great, But 100% immunity to attacks in high sec would ruin the game. |

Learn one thing! CONCORD provides punishment, not protection!
Also, read my signature for greater insight in the EVE dev's vision for EVE. EVE is NOT your 'Hello Kitty' kind of universe....

1. So there is an area of space that is moderately safe
2. This is really going to blow your mind, but there used to be no such thing as warp to zero. You always had to warp to stargates at 15 unless you had a specific bookmark, which were called "instas." They added the warp to zero feature so they could delete all the bookmarks, which were causing severe lag.
When they did this, they decided to leave autopilot alone. They did this specifically because they wanted to reward people who were actually playing the game, and to discourage people from hitting autopilot and getting up from the computer.
3. We have autopilot so we know how to get places. Above all else autopilot is a directional tool.
4. I can't believe that question is serious. If other people couldn't "loot your wreck" this game would hardly be eve. Its one of the death penalties that eve is known for and without it you'd kill piracy and pvp all over the server. If you're bothered by this, then eve is NOT the game you should be playing.

Not sure if it's mentioned already, (REALLY can't be bothered to read the whole thread) but this is NOT true.

Nothing stops people from scanning your actual cargo; no containers, no courier wraps, nothing.

After not much thought I have decided to award this an 8/10.
As someone said earlier it seems a little too much effort for a troll, I am however prepared to completely overlook this given the fact that we are on page 2 and only 3 people seem to have noticed this is a troll.
A++ would use again.

first of all, to all you nay sayers, i am under the impression that self destruct splash damage is real. though, unfortunately i wasn't able to test my theory. my chance to test this was ruined by my cynoing corpmate. one corpmate happened to be self destructing a insured raven cuz the insurance was about to expire and the other one, with the cyno already hot, started going off about splash damage and told the guy in the raven to either cancel or warp away, so he warped away and we weren't fleeted . so, i still need to test it out.
Now, to Mr Irish, u like whiskey? or whisky? ones made in Ireland, the others not. guess . anyway, im not sure if you know this, but you being a carbear you should know that: one, auto piloting with 59 cov ops cloaks is kinda dumb to begin with, and two, that there are different CONCORD response times in different sec space.
there's a reason he got you in a .6, because the response is slower than a 1.0-.7. it's virtually impossible to suicide gank/solo someone in 1.0 space, which is why all newbs start in 1.0 space. the concord response time is almost instant. this is also why most suicides seem to happen in .5 to .6 space. those few short extra seconds can mean the difference between hardly scratching your poorly tanked t1 hauler and blowing you to kingdom come.
just be glad none of your cloaks dropped and all he was left with was all the other almost worthless crap you had in your cargo . aaahhh it's nice when nobody wins.
game mechanics? anyone? game mechanics?
id say it's pretty safe to auto pilot through 1.0 -.8 systems. besides that, suicide gankage . though, if you wanna try again, .7 response times may be too quick for suicides, as well.

For some reason I thought this post would contain more practical information, like exactly how high the ISK : EHP ratio has to be for suicide gankers to make a profit, when it's actually a mixture of things I know and complaining. Looks like I'll have to stop being lazy and do the math myself =/

I'm yet to see a freighter ganked in high sec. Before the ganker's got his pants and socks on he'll be Concorded to oblivion anyway. There's a better chance of a club-footed myopian troglodyte winning Wimbledon to be fair.
And while we're at it, who in their right mind would use an autopilot with a freighter???? Frankly you deserve everything you get.
