YAY! I spent 20 hours tracking a shipment of 100million which i then had to split between my corpmates and my informer.!!

Meanwhile - a mission runner in no risk, no effort (apart from the boredom factor) running lv 4 missions has made 920 million isk!

Pretty much anything of any value is jump freighted DIRECT FROM HIGH SEC to its destination (with a selection of 30km undock bubble stations on route) totaly bypassing pirate camps.

Skunky, if you sold that 100m mega for 100m isk, you're obviously too dumb to play EVE, let alone catch that freighter with a HIC.

My statement is this: piracy needs two things to get people involved. To be made profitable, and to ditch the ******* stigma that surrounds it.

The, of course, requires imagination and some effort (my personal fav is the passive targeting/cargo scan combo on a spy sitting on the gate). That way I don't waste ammo. I also don't pod (unless you're on my little red list or I'm being paid to kill you). It's a waste of ammo, and just serves to consolidate your rep as an *******. And that also pretty much deals with the other reason I'm not hunted all over EVE, and can come and go in high sec. Keep it professional. One shot, one kill, then have your pals/alts loot the body. They emo in local, simply tell them the truth and keep it professional. (I know you were hauling X and I wanted it and be glad you still have your implants or Someone paid me to make you go boom. No offense.)

He comes up with a plan, intercepts the shipment, and raids shipping between 0.0 and high sec.

This would be awesome.


IF SHIPPING BETWEEN EMPIRE AND 0.0 EVEN EXISTED.

For starters I would like to say that EVE is the most incredible game I have ever played, and that says a lot as I have been at it since the days of text only games. The most compelling thing about EVE for me is its complexity, graphics and many layers. There is a type of play experience for everyone.

I admit freely to falling into the carebear category for now as quite frankly I suck at PvP so far and only resort to it in defence. I have lost a few ships learning EVE but I have stuck with the game because there is more to it than just blasting away at things for a cheap thrill.

I think if there was no High Sec and ôrelativeö security for new players this game would not continue to grow as new players would become frustrated with loosing every ship to more advanced or aggressive players and move on to something different.

One thing that makes me curious is if 0.0 is so vast and wonderful why even care about the miners and industrialists toiling away in High Sec?

You have to understand that EvE really is a massively MULTIPLYER game.

In my opinion sucide ganking is somehow broken .

I agree; CONCORD providing near-instant omnipotent, inescapable security for free breaks the game in numerous ways. For instance I spend the great majority of my time in 0.0, most of it in combat or looking for combat. Sadly, there is no reason for anyone looking to mine, build ships (except capitals) or research to be in 0.0, since all those activities can be conducted more cheaply and effectively in hi-sec, due to the unmatchable subsidy of CONCORD protection. Much though I would prefer 0.0 to be a vibrant, diverse society, this huge imbalance makes that impossible.

It didn't always use to be this way; a great deal of industrial activity used to go on in 0.0. But repeated and unbalanced buffs to hi-sec mean that industrialists have acted in their own best interest and left 0.0
The introduction of Jump Freighters have exacerbated the situation even further.

As Bellum correctly notes, the first tiny step to correcting this hugely destructive imbalance has been taken. For the sake of the builders, inventors, researchers and miners who would like to experience life outside of hi-sec but cannot economically compete if they do so, I hope CCP takes further and larger steps towards this end.
