Looks like you're either an idiot or just trolling, doesn't credit the ideas you're trying to champion in your sig.
There's a post where several people go "wait, what? You're not allowed to shoot back if getting shot at?" to which Greyscale replies "yeah, we're not sure on that yet". The only reasonable reply would have been "no, that would be daft, but we're still working on some details", but he didn't. He gave a direct reply to a silly situation without simply defusing the elephant in the room question. Thus we must conclude that they're actually thinking pushing this through.
And what liang stated. Excellence is not a skill, it's an attitude.

Grumpy Owly wrote: So you are using your editorial on the words of one player and not CCPs to formulate this conclusion and without any corroboration. Nice reporting technique.
It's two so far that I have seen, Tippia reported the same statements much earlier in the thread.
To sum up, the issues are,
1. "A suspect player that is shot, can't shoot back with out further penalty."
This is not a good thing. Who ever and where ever you are, you should be allowed to shoot back no matter what. I think there may be two interpretations floating around. From the presentation, I recall Greyscale saying that the suspect could shoot back but would get the penalty, and then these other two statements from the round table. It needs to be cleared up obviously. Personally, from my experience, I just can't fathom CCP creating a scenario where someone can't shoot back.
2. That a suspect player takes a sec status hit for being a suspect that does shot back. - Though this is probably a minor penalty, there are quite a few legitimate reasons to do "suspect" things, especially when one comes across a bot. Secondly, by invoking a penalty, it will create a condition that may limit possible uses of the suspect flag in the future like smuggling, factional warfare and being on good terms with a pirate faction. Creating a need for new spaghetti is not a good idea.
Get those two things cleared up and it'll make for a good foundation. |

No i think you are simply putting something there that doesn't exist, because "you" want it to be. CCP Greyscale was addressing many points in his comment. It doesn't mean he was directly addressing the previous comment at all as a result. Merely summarising the position or laying down a foundation generally for a number of new points that he was responding to. As such the only white elephant I see is the one you want to invent for it.
Either way I have already previously said I dont agree with an exclusion mechanic to being able to defend previously (not including safeties as part of that as they can be turned off) so please don't start inventing stances for me either. Bounty Hunting for CSM7

Heh, my initial post in this thread was asking why everyone was so bent out of shape. Being able to can flip one guy and gain aggression to all of Eve would be ******* epic - almost amazing enough to rat my sec status back up for. It wasn't until I went and read what Greyscale said (both directly and at the round table) that I began to say... "Umm, WTF?"

Likewise, though at least I have clear evidence of you trying to fabricate points about myself. Interesting behavioural stance to take don't you think?

After reading all the posts up to where i posted thishttps://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=978520#post978520
and reading everything from there until here - I have now read every post in this thread and the last five pages are the same thing about 4 times. The same people are saying the same thing over and over again - the only thing is the tears get bigger.
I like the idea of the wailing about not being able to defend yourself without a small sec hit when you are attacked by someone.
uh... that person would not be shooting you if you had not stolen from them
You stole
You got shot
You now move from being a simple thief to using deadly force related to the commision of a crime and you get a minor sec hit.
Do that is real life and your jail sentence in most US states usually gets doubled and if you kill the person you stole from, then you are guilty of first degree murder - meaning it is premeditated because you killed someone in the commision of a robbery you decided to do. Yes - actions have consequences.
Every decision has consequences. Your decision to steal starts the whole thing - you are the one who initiates the whole thing. If you don't want it happen, don't initiate it.
Just like when I accept a mission and I know i will take sec hit from wherever the rats come from to break the laws of where I am. I have to decide if I want to take that sec hit to go and kill a make believe group of pixels who will never quit the game and don't pay a sub. I dunno - maybe the equal rights for NPCs movement has started. Wonder if they will somehow elect a CSM? Will they be able to petition? Will they have a Fan Fest?
These are some big tears!!! You guys think only carebears whine and cry - but the blubbering here is in biblical proportions.
Farm town is looking for players who don't want to be held responsible for their actions.
Go ahead and quote me and argue with me, but I'm going back to my fleet right now and I could really care less how much stupidity you want to get involved with. you are just going to have to do it without me. have fun! |

You obviously haven't anything to contribute to the discussion, because there IS CCP corroborated evidence in the form of a direct post in his own words and multiple players reporting his words at the round table. I'm not going to respond to you anymore because your posts are blocked.

Is there a recording of this? I wanna see his expression when that happened. LOL
Getting aggro to everyone by looting a can is irrelevant. I loot cans from up to 7 different corps to get a fight and I get shot at like only 1 out of 20 times. Every EVE player must read this http://www.eveonline.com/background/potw/default.asp?cid=29-01-07 or uninstall and DIAF |

Launching cans is abandonment, no different from throwing an empty cup out into the highway. High-sec is empire space; it doesn't belong to the pod-pilot launching the can. Therefore, all cans should be considered garbage. Unless of course the pilot jettisoning a can buys licenses from the empires that specifically allow him to secure his jettisoned property. CCP can decide what the fee should be, but I propose a simple X ISK per Y cubic meters system.
Oh, and in line with these rules, all NPC cans belong strictly to the NPC faction they originated from. Anyone taking from NPC cans should be subject to the same "suspicion" flag. Property rules are property rules, after all. |

No worries, I have sent a request to CCP Greyscale via eve mail to hopefully clarify the point as to wether CCP would create a situation in EvE where you would be unable to explicitily defend yourself through Crimewatch mechanics. (Not including safeties which you can turn off). Better than going round in circles on it. Bounty Hunting for CSM7

Yes this is confirmation that many CCP devs really don't seem to have a clue what they're doing design wise. The Crimewatch presentation has already dampened the flames of Inferno, soon we'll see if their Wardec ideas smother the flames entirely.
Thanks for posting that Tarsas. |

So shortly CCP is planning changes that will:
1) make hisec safer for new players and carebears
2) allow more and more realistic PVP for those who want it in hisec
sounds like win

Like a good point: friendly can flipping to have a 1 on 1 fight is out the window with these presumed changes.
Oh, I'm by no means jumping to conclusions; I know these things aren't set in stone. However, if a change like this is even on the table, it has to be fought tooth and nail for the sake of this game's integrity. If can-flipping is just an "example," think of how many other "suspect" actions might result in this type of flag: - Scanning someone's ship/cargo - Trying to access someone's secure container - Shooting an NPC that's part of someone else's mission - Why not just go ahead and say it: locking someone without their permission If you start going through my backpack on the street to see if anything was worth stealing, I guarentee you there will be repercussions or if I catch you stabbing the tire on my bike there will be consequences. Also, shooting someone elses NPC should be a punisable offence, you might kill his trigger/trigger drop, which could end farming or prevent a turn-in of mission.
What are you like six years old, bike, backpack ill just stab you instead of your tire and use it as the get away vecichle |

.... Wow. That just sucks.
There goes one of my favorite pastimes. Flipping a can and fighting an entire corp, win or lose.
Under this new plan, it's flip a can. Fight all of local. And if somehow I win (which is unlikely), I'm gonna be -5 and Concord will come kill me anyway. Greeeaatttt.
I'm not sure what the purpose of this is. To coddle hi-sec players even more? To push players into lowsec? To destroy the last vestiges of small scale PvP? Wish we could get an explanation on that. (Or have they already given one and I missed it?) |

So far, I have yet to see what consequences the missioners and miners have for the choices they make, aside from the varying amounts of money they receive from their choices of what rats to shoot and what rocks to mine.
If I'm going to be penalized for even looking at these people funny, then they should be penalized for the veritable crimes against humanity they commit each time they warp to a deadspace or an asteroid belt.
I don't care how CCP does it. Let players join pirate factions for all I care, as long as they get a free pass on anyone who shoots one of those factions' NPCs. CONCORD doesn't shoot Serpentis rats, so this system would be completely acceptable to all mission runners. [...] Exactly. I fail to see why performing a non-hostile action against a pod-pilot should be treated with more hostility than a hostile action against a non-pod-pilot NPC entity. Both are part of the EVE universe. For example, why should a pod-pilot who runs missions for the Gallente Navy be flagged to everyone after stealing a can from a pod-pilot who runs missions for the Caldari Navy, but the pod-pilot who runs missions for the Caldari Navy not be flagged to everyone after shooting a non-pod-pilot ship that belongs to the Gallente Navy?
