illford baker Pilots of Damnation R-I-P	Posted - 2010.02.24 01:42:00 - [1] a while ago, my orca got blown up after a spy took it and self destructed it. this got me thinking, we can password protect our can to keep this from happening, why not our ships? even cars need keys to start. why is it, hundreds of thousands of years in the future, can ANYONE just hop in your ride and do whatever they want with it? why are couple thousand isk cans more secure than our multi million isk ships?
JDawg1290	Posted - 2010.02.24 01:43:00 - [2] CAUSE THAT WOULD MAKE EVE TOO DAMN SAFE! seriously, thats the only answer your going to get. There really is no damn reason except CCP is lazy.

Applies to corps not just chars :) i do want to protect my **, but CCP needs to give me the means to do so. its not like i can just slap a masterlock on my ship because its CCPs game!
darius mclever	Posted - 2010.02.24 01:56:00 - [5] let me ask you something ... how could a spy access your ship in your hangar?
illford baker Pilots of Damnation R-I-P	Posted - 2010.02.24 02:03:00 - [6] Originally by: darius mclever let me ask you something ... how could a spy access your ship in your hangar? well you see, i live in null sec, inside a pos. and a ship maint array has a limited ammt of space, and the orca is a BIG thing, about as big as a carrier. so, i decided to keep my orca outside of the array but still in the pos shields so that all my fellow corp mates don't clutter the pos shields with tones of ships that wont fit. i figured that one big ship outside in the shields is better than a lot of small ships outside in the shields, makes it easier for us to scan down hostiles when they come in. but, one fateful day, some jackass spy came and messed everything up to compensate for his lack of love from his parents or something. then i wrote a on the forum about how there should be passwords on ships, and then i found $5. true story, all of it.

YOU chose not to use that.

YOU chose not to use that. ok, fine. but i still don't see why our ships CAN'T have have passwords other than lazy ccp, even then the code is already written for cans and can probably be easily modified for ships. give me one good reason why this would be a bad idea.

darius mclever	Posted - 2010.02.24 02:38:00 - [12] err ... a large tower can perfectly hold a few titans. (Gets a bit crowded with 10+ but oh well). also ... where did you get that rumor that you can hack giant secure cans with a code breaker?

KKTHXBYE.
illford baker Pilots of Damnation R-I-P	Posted - 2010.02.24 02:49:00 - [14] Originally by: darius mclever also ... where did you get that rumor that you can hack giant secure cans with a code breaker? i dunno, an idiot? sounded believable. didn't look it up any further because it didn't interest me.

Who is the idiot ??? The one that told you??? Or you for listening ??? Once again. Eve Not Hello Kitty. EVE is about choices, You had the choice to protect your **.... YOU did not. There is no need for a password on ships becuase you can already protect your ** if you really want to. In addition to that your idea would basicly STOP all ship theft and only leave you with the option of blowing it up.... Waste not want not.. :)
Junkie Babe	Posted - 2010.02.24 12:02:00 - [16] I don't see why not but I don't think it would make any difference, all it would mean potential thieves would have to carry codebreakers eventually they'd crack the code and it would be stolen or failing that still be bumped and destroyed as others have pointed out. Wouldn't a better idea to get a second array or even a bigger one so you can store more ships safely, not that I know much about o.o space or POS's it's something I've yet to experiance in EVE.

As already mentioned in this thread. CodeBreakers dont work like that they are for Special Locked cans in exploration sites.
True American	Posted - 2010.02.25 01:02:00 - [19] Edited by: True American on 25/02/2010 01:04:46 dock your ships if you cant because your in null sec and your alliance 1. doesn't have a station of there own 2. doesn't have coalition buddy's that will let you use their station 3. cant find a npc station here is a few ideas don't bring the ships to null sec log off in the most expensive ship you do have in null sec find a new corp/alliance that does have a station or just leave null sec altogether
Dantes Revenge Caldari	Posted - 2010.02.25 19:08:00 - [20] Originally by: Sareth Drangua tl;dr ccp do provide you with mean of storing your ship with saftey. YOU chose not to use that. To be fair, the OP did say "The ship maintenance array does not have enough room". When you're working from a POS in Nullsec, storage space is always at a premium. I would say passwording a ship is a viable option but only within a POS shield. If the shield dies due to lack of fuel or an attack on the POS, all ships inside it lose their password protection and are open season.
