What creates all that drama you feel the need to take a break from?
Wouldn't be "risk", would it?

Note the "Sometimes." The miners are whining that they want to escape risk at "All Times." Bit of a difference.
Well, if we're going to parse and equivocate we should note that "some" miners are wanting to escape risk at "All Times".
Bit of a difference.

Anyway, no the thing that you need an occasional break from is effort. It takes much less effort to kill miners than it does to force PvP. That's still not no effort, but it's less. It's the new version of gatecamping.
Effort? Go on, pull the other one.
Are you trying to tell me that if I fly into VFK I'll have trouble finding PvP? 
It takes less effort to kill miners successfully because there's less risk. And all the drama adherent thereto. That's the only effort required, you can find a fight damn near any time you want to.
In truth what you want a break from is risk.

There's a difference between suicide and getting a fun, satisfying fight.
What would you describe as "a fun, satisfying fight"?
I'm betting it involves a whole bunch of risk mitigation and that's where the effort lies.

I don't know what risk mitigation means to you, but I lose ships at a pretty steady pace. That doesn't look like well mitigated risks to me.
I don't think you need to be good at it for it to be the focus of your effort, but based on your examples it really is the " difference between suicide and getting a fun, satisfying fight", isn't it? Tactics is all about risk mitigation.
What is "advantage" otherwise? |
