Originally by: FoRGyL Ohh a Q Kulo. What do you do ingame atm, what path do you follow and so on?
For your honest question (Despite fact you twisted my name to be something very bad in finnish language ;)) I will answer to you without any trolling:
I have no freaking rule. I have been away mere 8 months and last time I played EVE was solo lvl4 missions which burned me totally. Now I'm doing same and for my horror, following my mistake I made earlier this year when I left for WoW. Time to do something in EVE, eh? ________________________________________________________

aye you could try pirating, in low sec then 0.0 and find out which is better, then you could start another post about why you got it so wrong in this one.
"Retarded Trophy Hunter With a Blackend Soul" Thank you for that...... |

Originally by: Zarithas If you cannot handle the thought of a challenge, or danger, or losing things, then stay out of the fire, aka stay in secure space.
I have a big bunch of killmails in 1.0 where i shoot noobs out of frigs under the eyes of 6 lovely sentry guns. There is nothing like secure space. Not in EVE. CONCORD is for revenge not for protection.

I am not a pirate. I'm even not a wannabe pirate. Just because I don't want to be a pirate. (sorry birdy)
So why do I go for a hunt in low sec and high sec for helpless noobse? Well ... why go men at hunt if they can buy a rabbit in a shop? Or even go to a restaurant to get one right on the table? Because it's fun to hunt rabbits.
A second point is that the ppl who i live with tend to see piracy as cool. So having a sec status of 4.5 is not so cool. It will not hurt but 1.0 or below is better. As I shoot NPCs a lot my sec status is raising like mad. The only way to lower it is to shoot ppl in empire. And that's what i do.
Some ppl here in the thread used terms like PVPers and pirates and the like. I hunt NPCs to get loot and ISK. I build ships for myself and friend from the refined loot. I cook ammo and drones for the locals in paragon. And I have to mine from time to time because the loot is short on Zyd and Nocx. Then I went out with my corp and alliance to shoot other allicance players who come to our home. Or we visit other ppl homes to have some fun there.
What am I? A NPC hunting producing PVP pirate? No I'm not! I'm an EVE player and I love it!

Originally by: Kuolematon Wannabe pie-rats hunts in lowsec space because when they go to 0.0, they would actually get beaten down due equal or more powerful foes to be faced. You all "so called" piwates just seek out easy and soft prey to kill and flex your muscles .. and forget about fair battles. It's all eighter gatecamps, gatesnipers and 'ceptor blobs.
Tells me you've never done either. I lived in 0.0 for over a year and killed and was killed by some of the best PvPers in Eve. And let me tell you, 0.0 is child's play by comparison to low sec Empire.
First of all you have to deal with sentry guns. Can you take down two cruisers and a pod while the sentry guns are firing at you? You also have to deal with aggression timers. In 0.0 you can persue anyone anywhere and try again. In low sec empire if you're not in a ship capable of tanking the sentry guns then your target can simply get to a gate or station and you will be unable to persue for 15 minutes.
Secondly, once your security status gets low enough you can be attacked anywhere by anyone. In 0.0 if an enemy jumps in and uncloaks you have the ability to attack immediatly. In low sec empire, not the case. If you see an enemy you have to wait until he attacks you which is a disadvantage (but can sometimes be fun when noobs attack you).
Third, intel in a 0.0 alliance is awesome. You know where everyone is and have a defined enemy (or two or three). You see a blip on the map and you can ask in Alliance Chat who it is and what's going on. In low sec empire you have thousands of targets but also hundreds of random anti-pirate corps looking for criminals to pop. The blip on the map in the next system could be a group of guys ready to jump you at the gate you are camping and you have no way to find out until it's too late.
Lastly I'd like to say that this game is all about having fun and the time I've spent as a pirate is a blast compared to the all day gate camps and blob wars of 0.0. Most of your 'powerful foes' in 0.0 NPC hunt or mine 30+ jumps from civilization where nobody wants to go anyway. Your targets amount to 2% of the population out there or around 15 people at any given time per alliance. Unless it's a blob of 100 people sitting in one system being proud of who they are, which is even less fun than hunting 15 people across three regions.
If you judge low sec Empire piracy it's probably because you got blown up a time or two and you're bitter about it. Judging how people have fun with their $14.95 a month, especially when they are much better than you, is sad. Plus lame. And also sad.

/me sighs
It's not about fair fighting, its about making isk. I belt pirate, and dont gatecamp or blob newbs. I even offer ransom options in case you want to keep your ship. It takes brains to stay alive in lowsec, whereas in 0.0, pretty much every region is claimed by empires that blob you at the first sign of incursion.
Awhile ago I went to FE territory to explore and maybe get a good fight in a kessie, just for the hell of it, with a buddy also in the same frig. What happens, we get blobbed by about 10+ ceptors and BSs, heh, fair fights my ass.
Do come down to lowsec though, I'll be happy to fight you ;) ...

Edited by: Drayco on 24/12/2005 06:24:00 being a pirate or not... the idea of the game is to gain isk to have ships and tools to use in the role play profession you wish to play. with that said pirates make their money by popping anything thaey can to grab loot or ransom off the players ship/pod. Miners well they mine ... commen sense on that one. then you have mission runners. each have there ways to bring you money. its all about how much attention you want brought to yourself. be a pirate and grief people to be remembered as ruthless/a arse/whatever... mission runner to hang with buddies and kill npcs for loots and isk or mine for days on end busting your head on the key board because your bored off your arse and cant take the BS no more. the current patch has made ALOT of idiot n00bs come out of the cloest thinking they can be a pirate so theres going to be alot of p o o p flying around with name calling and people trying to pull tricks ( that are lame just pay attention) a real pirate will not mess with you in low sec space because your weaker... hes going to mess with you to test out his new toy and seek a challenge. YARRRR 4tw!!!!

Originally by: Kuolematon I'm just trying to say that MOST pie-rats tend to find easy targets rather than find fights where odds are against them.
Look dude... I ain't a pirate. I don't complain about being killed because I know I run the risk of it in 0.4 and below. As someone before said, can't take the heat stay out the fire. And another thing. Why would a pirate go looking for a fair fight, or where odds are against them? that's stupid. Easy targets = easy money.. plus they're pirates!! They're 'scum' they're ment to be hated and just kill anything anywhere. Come on dude, it's called Role play.
I say big up ze pirates. They do they're job.. you do yours. If you hate pirates why don't you kill them?!
