Last night my hauling ship got blown sky high. I was flying a prorator and doing some deliveries. The person that shot me down organised it really well by setting up contracts and sucking in the person accepting the contract. I wont go into detail here. As i was making the delivery and just 1 second from being docked into station my ship got blown sky high. From what ? a minmitar Battleship that was so many km's away. It took 2 people to stop me.
I keep hearing that ccp wil be doing something about this. I've just had enough of it. Seriously I'm trying to find some fun in this game and seeing that the others always have the edge over miners and haulers in high sec is a real joke. I don't mind if it had happened in low sec and null but when your playing by ccp rules to me it seems there are no rules and high sec is really a joke.
At the very least give miners and haulers some big guns like you give others and maybe will balance things well.
The two that got me are "Luukje" and "Natural CloneKiller". I put up a big bounty on Luk so enjoy your hunting.
cheers

You were flying a Prorator and you were not cloaked up despite hauling a contract with massive collateral.
Seriously, if you have a load like this, fly your ship like everyone is out to get you because probably that is actually the case. You had the ship to do so and still you failed. CCP already gave you everything you needed to protect yourself and you did not apply the cloak. Thus: POP! Sovereignty and Population New Mining Mechanics |

I would LOVE to know how you managed to die in a Prorator.
I am guessing you were afk.
Oh, and as for you hearing that CCP will "put a stop to this", citation needed. "Verily, I have often laughed at the weaklings who thought themselves good because they had no claws."

Without going into the details, its hard to know what the "it" or "this" you want to stop is.

Speaking of which ... someone cleared mine a while back ... I should go find someone to bounty me again. One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia |

Then again you already knew that and chose not to bother. You seriously propose a *tank* on a *Prorator*? You've never flown a Blockade Runner, did you? Your tank is your cloak. Never getting locked is the only thing that will save you. Putting bulkheads in there that will make you get caught more easily is the exact opposite of saving your ass.

1) If a courier contract looks too good to be true - it almost certainly is. If you accepted some contract to move something small through safe space and being offered many millions to do it then something is up.
2) If you were suspecting something bad, you should have first created an insta-warp out of the station you picked the package up from, in order to guarantee you could safely warp out when undocking
3) You could have considered using a better tanked ship, such as a heavy transport (with the right modules) to reduce the possibility of suicide ganking
4) You could have accepted the courier contract on a different character, or hauled it on a different character, which is generally a smart move when accepting public courier contracts even when they don't look too good to be true.
Finally, you are wrong, CCP have never stated they're going to do anything/change this, this is part of eve, you just got scammed by someone for quite probably getting way too greedy and now you're hear complaining rather than accepting your own responsibility. There is 50 different ways this could have gone entirely differently. |

Why should CCP hold your hand and protect you? CONCORD, which is OP, already patrols HiSec to serve as a deterrent, exacting absolute vengeance on criminals. Note that it's "HiSec", not "MaxSec" - there is no absolute security in EVE. You consent to PvP each time you undock. Do not fly what you can't afford to lose and consider every ship you undock to already be dead.
That said there are many steps you can take. The first step is setting up an "instadock". The 2nd step is specific to the ship you were in - L2CLOAK. Epic Space Cat |

It's unusual for the trap to be at the delivering station, as you could chance to warp into docking range or have made a docking bookmark (which I suggest you do in the future). How close to station were you when you left warp? |

Give the gankers some credit.
First they found somebody stupid enough to fall for their courier contract. Then they waited just before you docked as that is when you are most vulnerable .
You see you can make insta undocks, you can warp whilst cloaked, you can make afe spots until they come out of your ass but you can not do anything to make the docking process quicker.
Once you land on station, you will de-cloak and your barely moving.. basically a sitting duck. The gankers basically have a few seconds to make you go boom and that is all they need.
Not going to say anything else as True Sight has covered it

Always get the Amarrian ones backwards ... although, if you're "one second from being docked" as the OP was, a cloak isn't gonna exactly work.

Proper "WTZ" bookmarks on the station.
They (generall) also make really good cyno spots in low. One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia |

Extra credit as they probably picked a station that is notorious for docking range too...
- Yup, dead-end system down quite a pipe so they knew you were coming - Yup, 4 stations in Ono with horrible docks/undocks :)

So...a battleship locked and alpha you in the time between when your covops cloak deactivated and you docked in station? Huh. That sucks. CCP doesn't need to do anything, sorry. Bounties don't really mean much...again, sorry.

Duchess......
First off, CCP (concord) does not protect. It only punishes in hi-sec. You are responsible for your protection in this game. Which means a combination of experience, wits, skills, luck, fittings, etc etc. Which all takes some time to learn.
Now, I will be kind, because I will give you the benefit of the doubt that you are new. But this game is not for the feint hearted. You need to learn and adapt from whatever happens in this game, if you don't, you will just end up being tears.
Its a guarantee that ship/isks losses will occur to you in this game. So instead of whining about it, smarten up, learn how to avoid or at least lessen your chances of ganks. I too was a noob, but I learned and adapted to the game, and have made billions since. And none of it from pvp :P
Hopefully you will learn and adapt. otherwise you will eventually rage quit :)
