I created a message board in the hopes that we can use it as a place to gather information and share ideas on EVE.
I'm not sure if there will be much interest in this but I figured what the hell, it's free.
Enjoy

Wow Crepiscule! Just like a low-life pirate to go running when the going gets a little to hot!
You can dish it out in the game but can't take it on the forum? Thank you for increasing my lothing of pirates in Eve.
You going to talk tactics? What tactics are there in camp gate, lag gate, blow up the target ship before it gets out of lag at gate?
I can see it now. That forum is going to be one big group hug between pirates.
Bye bye. Hugs and kisses. See you on the flip side. |

Lina'k, STFU already. He wants a place where Pirates can go and organize. It's obvious that deep down in your primitive carebear mind a survival mechanism is kicking in and manifesting itself in your present hostility. grow up.

i dont know, kids these days. crimanal organisations should be looking to control as much territory as possible. that means instilling fear into the local populace and any neighbouring pirate corps looking to muscle in. dont invite them over for tea to discuss knitting patterns, its pathetic

Not much. Luckily, that's also about as profitable as mining veldspar with a projectile gun. Succeeding and making profit as a pirate comparable to the profit that a NPC hunter or a good miner would see is extremely difficult and requires an amount of planning and strategy that no other occupation in Eve can match.
Quote: crimanal organisations should be looking to control as much territory as possible. that means instilling fear into the local populace and any neighbouring pirate corps looking to muscle in.
No, that's not true. Criminal organizations look to make a lot of money without necessarily following the rules. That does NOT imply that they must be territorial. There are MANY drawbacks to staking out a territory as a pirate. I much prefer to be nomadic.
And "kids these days?" What's that about? All of us pirates are kids because we want to do something more interesting in this game than gawk at a very slowly rotating rock? Just brilliant.
Regarding the boards: I don't know that a single public pirate board is going to be the answer, but I am in favor of good relations between pirate corps that allow collaboration against the "worker bee" corps and free exchange of useful information. I suspect that this unity will be limited to specific alliances worked out in game instead of people simply "joining the pirate side" and being buddy-buddy with everyone. I'm taking steps to slowly involve my corp in collaboration with other pirates which may eventually lead to stronger, more defined and functional alliances.

Honestly, can someone tell me how else to pirate without camping a gate? Ok, got it, lets go sit outside the station and wait for you to dock......as we got nailed by sentry guns. But not even that so much, even if we did start sitting outside of stations it would only take a week or two for your whiny ass to start whining about that. Sorry you don't like the gate camp, but seein as how everyone needs to use gates.....seems like the best place for me to setup shop.
As for lagging an area with cargo pods, ships, *****, and other assorted material.....yeah thats not cool and you won't see me doing that. As for sitting outside a gate waitin for you to pass through, yup, I WILL be doing that.
You don't like it....then don't play. Space is a dangerous place. You seem to think that you are the only ones losing ships and money and cargo...not true. We also lose ships, and money, and time getting the resources to reoutfitt ourselves. Grow up and kick your carebear aside, pirates are in game and are not leaving anytime soon.
One thing I have learned while playing these types of GAMES, is that most people tend to want to play the "good guy" as that is how they are in real life. When something happens to this "good guy" they get upset and start taking it personal as this character is a reflection of them in life. Thus they feel actions taken against them in game are a direct attack to them in real life.
It's a game, have fun, if your not having fun don't come on to the forums and tell us we need to change what we do. Try changing yourself first, and if you don't want to....tough ****, life isn't always "fair" or "nice" its harsh, deal with it.

no, i mean the opposite.. i want more crime in eve, i want gangs fighting over territory, etc i want a to see a region become the bronx of eve :) at the moment all the gangs seem to run by small time crooks with little ambition. im not including m0o in this, they arent interested in the roleplaying aspect of the game.

Quote: Honestly, can someone tell me how else to pirate without camping a gate?
Yeah. :) I've talked to some others in The Gang and hopefully we'll work together soon and pull off some interesting heists. I've got some good ideas for operations a lot more complicated than gate camping.
I'm not opposed to gate camping, though--no matter what, it's an important part of pirating. The lag tricks do NOT have to be a part of it, and it certainly doesn't have to involve picking one particular spot and staking it out for weeks on end like has been done with Passari. Personally I think that's silly because anyone experienced enough to have anything really valuable is going to know enough not to take it through your hangout. That's why I pirate all over the place.
But non-pirates DO need to realize that "gate camping" in some form is essential. Just think about the route that valuable goods take: station -> gate -> gate -> (more gates) -> gate -> station. Pirates looking to intercept them have to catch the trader at the gate.
It's difficult to make good money gate camping as a pirate. Many gates aren't viable to camp because of the warp-in points, and of those that are, it's tricky to find a chokepoint gate in low security space that will see high traffic from unescorted people who are carrying valuable things but aren't prepared to defend themselves or escape. And then we have to play an interesting psychological game to get them to give us the toll we want. Many are untrusting or just plain stubborn, some try to delay and call for help, and most lie about how much they have. Blowing people up is almost never as profitable as robbing them--and robbing them well is a whole lot harder. ___________________________________________

I sense a lot of hostility concerning my posts. I take it you don't like me? Oh I am in such a depressed state now. The mean ole pirates in this thread don't like Linak'h. Oh boo hoo!! Any of you pirate gentlemen (oximoron if there ever was one) have a hanky that this little girl can borrow to wipe her eyes and blow her nose? Wait, I forgot, pirates plug one nostril with a finger then blow there noses to clear em. Bet that's tough on the old laundry bill. My bad. Nevermind.
If you want to be loved you picked the wrong occupation in the Wonderful World of Eve. So why don't you shove your peg legs where the sun don't shine. Tell me to STFU. What a way to treat a lady.
Bye bye. Hugs and kisses. See you on the flip side. |

gate camping is foolish for pirates in the long term for the following reasons:
a) The risk that a large force will be sent to take you down. b) that people will simply avoid you if they are smart, the ol' cape of good hope method, longer but safer!
Pirates are much better off hunting in paks taking down weaker prey as in real life and leading a nomadic life, perhaps centralising on a few key bases. Destroying that guy who's worked two weeks to get a cruiser makes sense, because you set him up to be a victim again two weeks later, instead of him coming for you in a BB two weeks later!
Like all good godfathers, the pirate bosses are making sure the rest of us stay weak so they'll always have fun podding us and remain powerful.
And I've seen dozens of mines and deployed drones sitting around a jump hole ready to aid their motherships. They can't be exploits too but simply part of the game!
CCP need to make a change so that the ship isn't visible until the player is back in control. Thats the fix for the pod, mine, mega drone issue. ----- Janus "I'm not a stripper, I'm a miner." |

Gawl, I have to agree with you on some stuff you said, although I kinda canŠt bring myself to robbing ppl in this game cause well ... I imagine me just sitting at a gate, doing nothing but waiting for someone to arrive at my "shop" to take hard-earned stuff from him .. it just doesnŠt feel right for me to do thatŠs all. I do believe that piracy can be hard sometimes and such ... I hope you understand what IŠm trying to say though. And well ... most important thing you mentioned Gawl is that this is a game, nothing but a game. Those ppl who mistake player characters with real life persons should start to work on their maturity imho... ____________________________________

Piracy is evil and wrong and only terrible, dastardly people would do it, but this is for out-of-character discussion.
It's sorta weird that you'd carry your in-game hostility back to the Eve forums like that.
It's only a game, and piracy is a sanctioned 'career' choice in Eve, so your persistent stalking of Crep and others is a little tiresome, imho.

I think it's funny that Crep started this thread to inform readers about another posting board. That's all. He simply addressed the thread to other pirates.
Yet it turned into pirate bashing, again.
I'm not a pirate. I stay away from places like Passari, Stain and Curse b/c I know I'll get my butt blown off/robbed if I go there. I check local chat channels and check sec. ratings of the people I don't know.
Does it make me a little nervous? You bet. Looking over my shoulder all the time can get tiring, but it's also exciting knowing I could find myself in a bad situation. That's why I buy insurance. Part of the fun to me is the risk of PvP.
I say leave the pirates who are playing this game by the rules alone(i.e. without cheating or exploits).
Instead of griping, post screens of something like Cornexant squaring off against m0o showing that something in-game is being done. Otherwise, give the pirates a break.

Crepiscule means time of day sun like half down. So maybe we just call him dinner time.
So dinner time and friends to him, we don't care. You are one who makes job from others work. You steal the time from others. Then you make the thread pushing it to faces of the same people. Then when they have no agreement with you it is sudden they are being mean to you. ROFL.
That is ok dinner time you can start you board somewhere else. But for you it would look like that you are pirate in the game because you not stand up for yourself in real life. This is the game.
I think it's funny when people make fun on internet boards. I think we all learn lesson from our mommies sticks and stones. So it does not matter what is said.

LOL,
Wow quite a few varied responses to a post that really didn't need any.
The original post that brought all this about "Funny Stories by Pirates" was meant only to laugh at the silly and or stupid things pirates and non pirates do.
And players wonder why we like to PvP and blow their ships up. Reread a few of the responses here and it's not too hard to understand.
Now, back to the topic at hand....
Solysh, if you have the resources to put a better board together I'm all for it. I know EZBoard sucks but I'm cheap and it was the quickest way for me to throw it together. I'll talk to you in game about it.
