It's Eve so I got what I deserved. However, I received a letter saying why CODE picks their targets and there's a point I'd like to get an honest answer to from CODE, if you may? The letter claims autopiloting is an AFK activity and therefore botting; hence bannable by their code of conduct. I'm simply wondering, by this reasoning, is all AFK activity considered botting?
When you sell something in local market, you put it up and leave it there. Likewise, Buy Orders exist until they're fulfilled, requiring little input from you as a player, other than occasionally fixing the price. By not directly selling to open Buy Orders but putting something up as a Sales Order, you're relying on game mechanics to do the sale for you. Just like autopiloting would do when you click the button in Eve client.
If a pilot purchases a Catalyst from a sell order from local market, wouldn't that be seen as endorcing AFK activity? Where would you draw a line?
Therefore, wouldn't it be easier to just come out straight, "honest-to-god" gankers, since the "ban-all-AFK-activity" approach seems -to me- a little questionable? The "code" is just mildly weird RP-ing to go alongside petty ganking. It can safely be ignored, interact with these people as you wish. Wave at them in local, or shake your fist in anger. |

Sometimes when a player comes back to his keyboard and finds out he's been ganked and podded that player will start raging. Good RP in these situations will help cool the mood in local. We just want everyone to calm down, reflect on the lesson that they've just been taught, and give us the isk they owe us. It's an incredibly simple philosophy.
We are here to make highsec a better place people! If that means I have to RP to get through to a rage-monster and be judged as "uncool" or "weird" by forum alts, I will.

People still use auto-pilot?
The way I look at it is this... It takes almost twice as long to auto-pilot a freighter 20 jumps, then to go gate to gate manually. Therefore won't you make more isk, by being able to make more runs doing it manually then auto-piloting? Also because it is much 'safer' to fly manually then to auto-pilot you wont be losing as many ships reducing your overhead.
So in this case it is costing you alot more isk to operate your trade runs doing things the lazy way. Apply the damn rules equally >.> |

people have actually been killed because of their actions in a video game, all it takes is one crazy with enough know how.
and I honestly find that one of the scariest things and is probably why this james character is in fact hiding. someone joked about the death threats, that is NOT cool.
like imagine if a random 1 day alt messages you with your real name, family members and address and a death threat... holy **** im scaring myself here. id change my name and move to another country ffs.
ganking someone is all fine and dandy but the helplessness people feel when being singled out, fed bs and then extorted is what I think makes code different. I have not seen anything else in eve generate nearly as much rage in people (just reading on the forums).
what would suck a lot is if heavens forbid the worst did happen is it would irrevocably harm the game itself as well and I guess thats what confuses me the most is ccps endorsement of this.

Thank you for this! It was an interesting read and I do get the point where having a computer do something for you would be in some people's eyes as unfair. There has been plenty of good responses, but what I'm specifically wondering about are these kills here:
https://zkillboard.com/kill/39459733/ https://zkillboard.com/kill/39467228/ https://zkillboard.com/kill/39468028/
I finally got a copy of that "manifesto mail", which is sent to these gank victims, and it reads:
According to the CODE. alliance killboard, your ship(s) and/or pod(s) were recently destroyed by our gankers. You may take comfort in the fact that you were not the target of a random act of violence. In fact, you were carefully selected for destruction because you were caught "botting", engaging in automated play such as AFK mining or autopiloting, or some other act of bot-aspirancy.
Please be aware that your actions or inactions were a violation of the New Halaima Code of Conduct, the set of rules by which the New Order governs highsec. Everyone in highsec must obey or risk destruction of their ships and pods.
You may download your very own copy of the Code at the New Order's official website: www.MinerBumping.com
I'm simply wondering why waste a perfectly good destroyer to kill a ship that has no cargo, for such a cause as having people engage autopilot, which is a game function.
Now, one scenario could be that the ganker doesn't have a cargo scanner equipped and is shooting at random, hoping to hit jackpot, but don't professional gankers work in teams, with scanners calling targets while the others gank? Shooting autopiloting empty shuttles seems such a waste... |

1) They gank the Autopilot (most likely afk) shuttles simply for teaching those "AFK beings" (not 'players', since they don't play the game) a lesson (about the risks of High Security space), which is often a good thing.
2) Greed isn't the only reason to gank in new eden. if the player has fun while shooting autopilot shuttles all day, "having fun" is also a very good reason and therefore it's not a waste.

It's harmless until they start believing their made up play rules. It's hard to tell with the code guys. Most of them are deep immersion role players. I think most of them just enjoy the pretend space police thing. I don't think more that half actually believe in it. It's one of those things where you'll never be able to tell the role players for the true believers.
Big picture - they don't really matter. There are far more serious space ships issues than a bunch of empire role players in catalysts. If they really bother you - just leave empire - they won't come after you. Jump out of empire and watch their little role player faces get smashed up against the low sec window as they watch you pilot away into dangerous places they fear to go.
Not everyone can be special little wizards ... whether you're with .CODE or an Inquisitor of Kill-It-Forward or even a w-spacer ... at the end of the day if you're not having fun what's the point?

I feel sorry for people that feel the need to cry on the forums about how they could do things so much better. I offer a response to the personal attack with the following:
1. Post with your main if you are going to call people out on the forums. 2. The Conference Elite has taken CODE. to the next level, along with input of various outside members and internal corps attempting to step up their game and we will continue to do so moving forward. So our "leadership" is proven to be a success.
However I for one will enjoy being at the forefront of this movement along with Loyal, whilst you sit on the outside looking in, crying on the forums about how we are doing such a bad job.

Considering the reactions of some of the New Order gank victims, and the fail fits seen on some of the ships of same, I'd have to say the New Order actually do perform a valuable service for the EVE community. I say that as a player, who these days mostly spend his time doing various PvE activities, mining in HiSec included.
However, I also find it hard to wholeheartedly support their mission, through words, actions or contributions, due to the mixed messages occasionally coming from that front. They could really do with straightening their message presented to the rest of EVE.
For instance 'AFK mining' in HiSec is not a thing, and hasn't been for quite a while. This is even more true after the launch of Kronos a few days ago. Given the small size of HiSec asteroids, and the cycle time of mining lasers, you cannot really turn the back to your client for more than a few moments at best. If the mining lasers are burning, then the pilot does tinker with the client at very regular intervals. Mining is by now no more an AFK activity than running an L4 sec mission is. Which is to say 'not very'. Anybody, who says differently, hasn't been in a mining fleet recently. It is quite obvious when somebody actually goes AFK for a bio or whatever, as their ship(s) rather quickly ... stops mining!
If a pilot doesn't respond to hails in local while mining, or when somebody else warps on grid, then he could be either:
*) Ignorant of the problems with neutrals near his mining barge. *) Possibly not a native English speaker. My little group of mining friends have tested this. Non-native English speakers may not react to hails in English from me, yet they will if we can figure out what their language of choice is (check player and corp bio) and have someone able to speak it. *) Possibly multi-boxing and currently Alt-Tabbed. Have known a fair share of low- or nullsec pilots, who mine in HiSec for a bit of ISK on the side, while simultaneously being in a PvP fleet. *) Actually using illegal botting software.
Just a thought. Have you Communicated with your fellow capsuleers today? It is good for the EVE-oconomy and o-kay for you. |

Try suicide ganking or bumping miners for awhile, and you'll see where you are wrong. It's extremely common for miners who have been ganked to float in their pod in the belt for several minutes after being ganked (assuming that you didn't blap the pod too, of course.) I would say that roughly 1 in 3 does this, in my experience. It is not uncommon for a pod to float there for the full 15 minutes needed for the ganker to wait out his GCC and return to finish it off.

What you describe is technically possible, particularly since the launch of Kronos. Though it takes an extreme level of low skills and other 'optimal' conditions to do so.
With T1 fittings, a Kronos nerfed Retriever, absolutely lowest level I skills required to fit and fly, no drones nor fleet boost and the largest Veldspar asteroids you will find in HiSec, you can get the cycle time until you run out of yield in a single asteroid up to around 25 minutes.
(This is the point, where some people stopped reading the last time I mentioned this...)
"25 minutes?! Raaah! AFKKILLKILL!"
However...
The 'yield' by doing so - if you can even call it that - is at a stretch a pathetic 7M ISK/hour, and you'd need to cherry pick the few asteroids with up around 100'000 units of Veld within to keep mining for this amount of time. You cannot keep doing this all day, as you will run out of sufficiently sized rocks to munch. Most rocks you will find in HiSec are about half this size, and as skills improve the time to mining laser 'burnout' drops considerably.
By comparison, at the other end of the scale, a level V Hulk with full Orca boost fills up in about 2m45s. On top of this you will practically always end up 'staggering' your mining lasers and cutting cycles short due to the odd and random asteroid sizes. So here you end up having to tinker with your ship at least once a minute or so on average, about the time it takes to kill a tough NPC battleship in a L4 mission (skill dependent).
All other combinations of barges, skills and boosts are somewhere in between these extremes. Yet in practice, for any sensible yield, mining is hardly 'afk' all day long, or even for 15 minutes at a time. Not even close. For instance on a Mackinaw the average 'tinker time' is about 2 minutes or slightly longer, post Kronos.
PS: You may occasionally see an abomination, where a players mines one asteroid with a single mining laser fitted to a cargo expanded T1 industrial. Takes an absolute eternity to exhaust a single large asteroid that way. Please put those pilots out of their misery when you can. Have you Communicated with your fellow capsuleers today? It is good for the EVE-oconomy and o-kay for you. |

We are, proof is on the killboards and many many many threads in the past.
PvP = person vs person
Seeing as we are not killing little red crosses aka npc's that would make it PvP. Flying round in space where u will be killed in less that 10 secs, whilst PvP ing capital class ships and many other player flown ships proves we are elite.
