So I've been away from the game for over a year. Just got back into it and I've been TRYING to mine to build up some money. Unfortunately I've discovered the new "Hotness" in EVE....Asteroid Squatting. When did it become fashionable to absolutely gank a lowly mining rig...in Hi Sec areas and then scream at you for not paying for a mining contract?
I mean seriously, is this the new "friendly" EVE way of playing? Getting prison gang raped by morons until you either join their prison gang or pay a stupid contract fee and still get blasted by these Heathens? What the hell are you supposed to do to make money? Is AFK mining in HI SEC a relic of the past? I've lost 3 rigs in the last week and I haven't even played that many hours to be honest. Seems like every other time I sign on and try to mine I get podded....I'm starting to think I made a big mistake coming back.
Time to look for new game I suppose? |

LOL Mining ganking has been around for a very long time. And if youve only been gone a year and you dont know this you are either trolling or immensely stupid/lucky to have not met with this treatment before.
Have you heard anything I've said?
You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right?
That's right.
Had to end sometime.

Killing is just a means of communication.
Nothing bad in communicating.
Actually if you want to make ISK mining, then out of highsec has advantages as long as you have the logistic capabilities to deliver to market. Mineral use was rebalanced a few months ago, making lowsec and nullsec ores more valuable than highsec ores.
Less communication happening if you are smart, and more ISK available. |

Guess I've been lucky because I'm not a Troll and I didn't play that much when I was playing a year ago....So lucky it is. |

I've got the means to deliver, but I guess I don't have the smarts to build a decent mining rig that can bounce out of trouble when it comes my way. My last mining effort was in a low sec area and got away with the first pass. Next pass...not so much luck. |

Sometimes I GOT to do my laundry....perfect time for AFK mining....
So how in the Hell do I set Code? Don't even know what that means honestly. I was using a Retriever for Hi Sec and the lowly Venture for Hi Sec....since that seems to be more profitable for less ore...and time in the "Hot Zone" |

Let's see: - AFK Mining in a retrieve- - Not docking up while afk - Fitting your retriever like that(poor thing was begging for a quick death) - Not using dscan to gtfo when those cats start showing up
You deserved what you got. That's like saying "I'm gonna afk in Street Fighter without pausing the game" and then coming back to see your Ryu KO'd and wondering why the game is bad.

Search for "Code." in contacts. It's the main high-sec suicide ganker alliance. Add them to your contacts and set them to -10 or red. You will see, what i mean.
Afk playing is by many players not considered playing. In general remember "Adapt or die" and "Don't undock, what you cannot afford to loose."
Fly safe.

Don't let the tough boy responses fool you. Ganking miners as a sole activity for the unimaginative, and low achievers has become a mainstay - and I daresay, the most active activity in EVE now.
I suggest miners stop mining. Let the shelves run out of goods. No. Wait. The "large alliances" with a lock on thing$ will just keep mining and funding (it's CODE for...meh, who cares?)
Become a miner ganker yourself perhaps? It may be more challenging to watch them unload produce at the local Publix.
If we get chased by zombies, I'm tripping you.

Returns on high-sec mining are already so crappy, I'm not sure why anyone would even bother ganking these miners. It's like beating up a homeless person because they're pan handling. |

What I'm thinking about is taking my Typhoon out to where I got ganked....cloak and wait for those 2 a-holes to show back up in their frigates.... |

Solution: 1. DO NOT AFK 2. Learn to Dscan 3. DO NOT AFK 4. Fit a tank (hint: retrievers are bad at it) 5. DO NOT AFK 6. Set known gankers to -10 7. DO NOT AFK 8. Dock up when you want to afk not stay on the belt to be a target for cats 9. DO NOT AFK 10. Team up with other like-minded players (that don't afk mine and whine about dying when they get ganked) 11. DO NOT AFK
There's your solution. It aint hard m8 I even made an alt to mine my way into a bloody rhea. Did I forget to say that DO NOT AFK when undocked? I think I didn't say it hard enough.

Eve is full time, PvP sandbox experience. I am not sure why you think you should be able to go out into space, and gather resources with no risk to your self. You wouldn't start a Call of Duty match and then go wander off to do your laundry and feel entitled to have not been shot by other players.
But really, CCP has given you two mining ships, the Procurer and Skiff, that are so uneconomical and tough to gank that even the New Order rarely does so. If you cannot pay attention to your highsec mining, just accept the trade offs these ships have and use their massive defenses to play the game AFK.
Eve is a multiplayer game. If you find yourself continually losing to other players you should consider adapting and changing something. In your case you either need to pay more attention or change your fit although my real recommendation is to find another way to make ISK entirely. Even under the best circumstances highsec mining does not pay well and there are plenty of other options out there.
Why Do They Gank?

Asks for solution, gets it and doesn't like said solution as it doesn't conform with his idea of a "solution" and therefore proceeds to insult said solution giver.
It's like you don't want to learn on how to play EVE and just want it to fit with your own concept on how EVE should be.

I HATE FPS games....It's not like I AFK all day long. The last 3 times I was at the keyboard. You just can't react fast enough to these guys. So the useful info I got out of this is Procurer and Skiff...Good to know. As for ISK generation, what would you suggest? I don't have a lot to start off with anyway, so Mining seems the logical choice for now. |

I don't have a lot to start off with anyway, so Mining seems the logical choice for now. More lucrative professions with low bars to entry include exploration, PI (although I would look to lowsec) which is pretty passive once you get it set up, or even wormhole gas mining. Gas miners are dirt cheap (although the skill book is not) and while you will get close to 100M ISK/hour if you can ninja high end sites, your overall income will be lower given the time overhead of scanning down wormhole chains.
You never said why you want to make ISK but if it for PvP you might just want to just jump into Faction Warfare. The plexes and eventually missions pay very well. Similarly if you have the skills sleeper combat sites in the low class wormholes you can easily access from highsec are lucrative and relatively quick and safe.
Finally there is L4 missions and Incursions in highsec. These will eventually suck the joy of the game out of you, but if you just need a set amount of ISK you can grind then for a bit.
More generally though, ISK is just a means to an end. You should be enjoying your game time playing how you want and then trying to make ISK from that rather than putting ISK first and as your main goal. The a many ways to make ISK but it is much better if you find a way you enjoy, even if slightly less efficient, than to suffer through game play you hate because you think you need ISK.
Play the game, find what you like, set some goals and then go from there about how to make ISK.

AFK mining is not playing the game, it's like having young kids in your house with a loaded gun under a pillow while you flirt with the neighbor's wife over the garden fence and expecting nothing will go wrong. |

Unfortunately I've discovered the new "Hotness" in EVE....Asteroid Squatting. When did it become fashionable to absolutely gank a lowly mining rig...in Hi Sec areas and then scream at you for not paying for a mining contract? I mean seriously, is this the new "friendly" EVE way of playing? Getting prison gang raped by morons until you either join their prison gang or pay a stupid contract fee and still get blasted by these Heathens? What the hell are you supposed to do to make money? Is AFK mining in HI SEC a relic of the past? I've lost 3 rigs in the last week and I haven't even played that many hours to be honest. Seems like every other time I sign on and try to mine I get podded....I'm starting to think I made a big mistake coming back. Time to look for new game I suppose?
Mining ganking has always existed. Simply the area where you are now mining has a high percentage of gankers. Move to a less frequented system and fit a tank to your mining ships, possibly an active oen so that the gankers notice it and choose easier targets. |

For the main reason ISK...because I want to buy stuff! But I've got my skills up to pilot an ORCA, so that's my main goal for now is to purchase and insure one of those bad boys...Working on my carrier skills now. That's my next goal. I guess after all that I'll try to join a corp. Its a cool open sandbox game and I know there are other players out there, but sometimes I'd rather just fly SOLO (pun intended). |

Well, in fairness you are correct. The permit only allows mining in high sec, and not afk mining, which I understand is in violation of the terms and therefore invalidates it. That's an in game way of describing that CODE would just blow you up anyway
On topic, and hopefully helping, just don't use a retriever, it is the gankers favourite target! |

Hi,
You seem to have got blasted by the forum warriors for trying to play in your own sandbox.
Here is what you fly and how you fit it:, some people tell me its over tanked, but ignore them, you want to be hard to kill and here it is...
[Skiff, Skiff] Mining Laser Upgrade II Damage Control II Reinforced Bulkheads II
Medium F-S9 Regolith Compact Shield Extender Adaptive Invulnerability Field II Medium Shield Extender II Kinetic Deflection Field II Thermal Dissipation Field II
Strip Miner I
Medium Core Defense Field Extender I Medium Core Defense Field Extender I
Hobgoblin II x5 Hornet EC-300 x5 Medium Shield Maintenance Bot I x5
Those CODEling's will now go and blow up someone else because you will be too hard for them.
If you cannot yet fly the Skiff get a Procurer and do a similar fit, gankers don't go for them either.
As for the CODE permit, it is not worth the paper it is printed on, the Skiff and their inability to up their game to kill it is your permit...
EDIT: LOL, CODE needed three Catalysts to kill a Retreiver, that is so funny.
Ella's Snack bar. The Hisec sandbox is basically no longer a themepark for gankers now that CCP have rebalanced key areas. Well done CCP
