Why is it in this game whenever a Corporation or Alliance receives a War Dec the first thing that we hear is - "Right you miners get out of your barges and into fighting ships "? WE are told that if we aren't prepared to fight then we should leave. Yet, in real life the miner is recognised as an esential part of any war effort.
'Every player is born with a basic set of PvP skills' is another favourite refrain.
Yet when the minerals run low, do we have many of our 'Fighters' ready to mine ore? No! "We are busy defending you sorry lot" is the answer. "We don't mine!"
Double standards ?

Sad but most of eVe community treats us crafters like second class citizens. You can read what I think about fighters and crafters in eVe.

Even tho you need a strong industrial backbone alliances often need every single available pilot when they're at war. Is it so horrific to help your fellow alliancemembers to protect your homeland?
And to Jenny: I think you are wrong. Most players in Eve have great respect for the "crafters" in Eve. It's the ones that are so afraid of loosing anything that they don't even try that most despise.

I can fly mining barges and a not very effective Blackbird. I can fly nanoed scout frigates, though.
In fleet ops I scout. Rest of the time I mine. Sounds good. :) ___

Well when a friend of mine is told that he is a carebear and must be killed, by an empire 2 man corp, simply because he was in a hulk, mining for our corps invention fund, it does tend to make me angry... Thing is if i were to war dec said Corp, they would probably either switch corps or stay docked, so who is the carebear, and who are the fighters. EVE is PVP, whatever you maybe doing. Sometimes you need to mine, sometimes you need to kick some ass, its just the way of the world.

If your PvP folks can't figure out you are why they have low-cost ships and modules wuold you really want them leading a fight.
So they have the situation knoledge of a baked potato and you still stay - -
The hulk as bait - swap strip miners for nos, extenders, scrambler(s) ,web, plate and/or repper.
Think how bad the guys will rib you attacker when a hulk shows up on his loss mail.
The most critical component of any fight isn't in game it's on your shoulders.

Settle down, it's clearly a long outdrawn joke. Nobody would repeatedly refer to industrialists and other bear-types as crafters for this long without picking up eve's lingo.
Flamebait, every bit of it, and unfunny flamebait at that. A banstick for every post I say, for faking the death of such a great character -----

God i hope your right, because with the direction "carebears" are going it makes me want to cry sometimes. I truly feel like they just don't understand the game and are trying to steal it away from those of us who enjoy the darker side of the universe.

Carebears do seem to get treated as second class players. Why? This game has a lot of PvP in it, granted, but that's not all. And there are people, like me, who don't want to fight.
Disrespecting that seems to me like the macho "a man must fight or he is no man" way of thinking - used against women, too, of course.

i dont want to mine, or do missions or buy things from you off the market, but i have to... so guess what you have to fight some times too.
You at least have tools that let you try to get away from combat, short of ships and mods spawning in my hanger and isk coming from the heavens i have no such choices.

every miner can do their part in pvp
but if more tahn 33% of the time you are pvping when you are a dedicated miner you might want to switch allegiance ____ __ ________ _sig below_ the jet cans are made so that people that dont mine can get free ore
miners ritually donate the ore to anyone wishing to take some |
