I am a 2 year eve player. I have always enjoyed the game. Even tough I am 2 years old, their are still things in the game that I have never experienced. Call me ignorant or whatever. I have been to low and null sec. I have been to wormholes, I have mined,explored, and even been in wars. One thing I have never done is placed a pos. I have read about them, studied them, and even memorized the average cost to fuel them. I decided to start placing them so I could generate some income for plex. I studied up and found a few complex reactions to run and the perfect place to put it up. I Was running low on isk, so I purchased a gtc, sold it and made around 550 million isk. Log into the game. Did the things I needed to do to prepare to set up my first tower. Location, fuel, guns etc. Went to jita to pick up a large tower, 2 silos, and an ecm to go with the other items I have.(the plan is to move my stuff to Nour and wait a few days to organize a group to help me out.) I have been in low sec before and I am aware of what precautions to take. Anyways, as I undocked from Jita in my badger I was ganked and lost over 400million in cargo. YAY!! This has never happened to me. I figured a badger in high sec was safe. Just thought id share this with anyone that has a false sense of security in high sec. Any thoughts or comments would be nice. Flysafe and not blind. laters

Originally by: Jimmy Kudo I guess I am not sure why it should be safe? If it was "safe" CCP would not have concord/gate and station guns.
Non-Consenual PVP is everywhere...and I welcome it
Good point

I understand that not knowing something makes me ignorant. I have know about suicide ganking for some time. I just didnt realize the extent of it. Meaning, I guess, I assumed that it was more like a gang bang on miners or something to that affect. Its never happend to me, and I definatly did not think that it would happen out side of jita. I mean after all, two years without an incident like this can give one a "false sense of security" Yes, that kinda makes me like thos rich folks that act all shocked when it does happen. However it was a wake up call that has redefined my game play. I am not at all complaining. I am simply sharing an event that happend to me. Hopefully others that have no idea will now know and play smarter.

Originally by: Mok Tarin And the only reason you got popped is because this games ******ed insurance mechanic.
You can buy a Raven in Jita now for 70- 75 million. With 100% insurance at 30 million totaling 100-105 million. Insurance pay out is over 108 million. I got bored the other day and made over 10 million buying/insuring/self destruct/salvage.

Well, Thank you for all the comments. Even the jerks that feel its a good idea to be cruel. Eve is a cruel world and I like it.
I petitioned the incident just to see what kind of response that I would receive. I was not really expecting to get anything. I also wanted to show others that this has happened to what to expect. This is what they will tell you...
Greetings Meatslab,
Thank you for contacting EVE customer support. I am sorry to hear about your loss. It is possible for players to destroy your ship even while in 1.0 systems if they can do enough damage before concord destroys their ship. This is an intended game mechanic as the offenders are always punished. I really am sorry for your loss, but I will not be able to reimburse or otherwise compensate you in this matter. If you have any other questions or problems, or would like your petition closed, please let me know.
Best regards, GM ****** EVE Online Customer Support Team
So play smarter. And when people say "flysafe" they are serious.
Ok... you can abuse me now...

Originally by: Flying ZombieJesus So, you're mad because you fail to understand the game?
I get that.
I used to throw hissy fits when I lost at video games too. I was 6 though.
So buck up partner, you'll get the hang of it, no need for tears. Would you like me to get you a cookie?
I dunno if that will work, but thats what my dad told me when I was throwing a tantrum due to failure to understand game mechanics.
See, apparently, you had to TELL mario when to jump. Who knew?
Hey ahole... refer to the post.. I mean read it. Refer to post 15 and 1. Do not believe that I said I was mad.

Originally by: Calkota BTW speaking of things that you are new on, GMs dont like it when you paste what they say to you.
Your the response that you were given is pretty tame and something that we all knew (well almost ;) ) but its generally frowned on.
I do not see how that Gm could get offended. I did not use any names.
