I have fun, I just wish I had more time to play. And I am having fun from the start. Still flying T1 frigates and cruisers, still having fun.
I guess I can have fun in not even halfway decent ships :) |

Bunnie Hop wrote: Yes, you can find ways into low sec but most areas near highly populated hi-sec space is gate camped for the most part.
And your point is? I said that there is usually another entry point few jumps away. Are you saying that the problem is that you would need to make those few additional jumps?
Bunnie Hop wrote: 'Theme park area', just love the catch phrases you drones use.
Okay. Still it doesn't change the fact that hisec is theme park area ( as far as it can be in this game ).
Bunnie Hop wrote: As to the OP, best advice for almost any problem in EVE is finding the right corporation to do things with, including hi-sec activities, pvp roams (low and high) or whatever you want. Doing anything alone is always more dangerous.
That's at least something we can both agree on.

Playing the wrong game.
If you dont get out and PvP RIGHT NOW, you will forever be sucked into highsec and be there forever.
Like 80% of the eve population. Go and have the real fun before you turn into a massive whiny bawbag. Everytime you dont like my comments/posts the terrorists win and your a disgrace to your country. |

This is the character I post with, deal with it (or not, I don't care either way). Going into low is a good thing, just when its done properly and not for people to just go alone with no plan or information. Many on the forum say to go to low and leave it at that and I think its just setting people up for failure. Players should first find a corporation while in hi-sec and then go with corp-mates into low. But thats just my opinion. |

I don't think your suggestions individually harmful, I think that your intentions are good, but this can be a bad mentality to get into.
'Until I find a good corp' 'until I can fly that ship' 'until I get those support skills' 'well my implants are pretty expensive now...'
Getting into that trap is more costly than blowing a whopping few million going on a frigate romp. If you think that you need to go to any lengths of planning for the sake of a few million ISK investment, you may just be a miser.
Plenty of people have gone into low-sec with no plan at a few days old and done just fine.

I have been through low-sec solo a few years ago and the only plan was to get to 0.0 following the autopilot route (only the route) and saw nobody at the gates although 1 or 2 in local. So at least back then it shows that you won't always run into trouble, but what it's like now I have no idea. Maybe I'll have to find out sometime. |

Going into low sec or traveling through it is not always a problem. Plenty of empty systems and there aren't always gate camps at the entry points.
What we were talking about though (at least from my understanding) is going into low sec and staying there to mine or do whatever a noob wants to do in low sec. I don't think that will work out well unless the newbie is exceptionally lucky.

The size of the investment depends on the point of view. A mining barge is quite an investment for a noob without backup of a corp. |

Think of it like this:
You want to mine, build and trade and generally be peaceful in EVE? Fine
But you must accept the fact that you share the same universe with people who do the complete opposite of that, and would like nothing more than to blow you up for the luls, even if they don't have much to profit from the encounter.
As frustrating as that is, keep this in mind: Those minerals you mine? That stuff you build, it is worth something on the market. Why is it worth something? Because people need it. They need minerals to make ships, modules and ammo.
Why do people need ships, modules and ammo? To replace the ones they lost when their ship got blown up. Without any combat, there would be very little need for new goods and mineral prices...and thus your income... would tank.
Further, the same gankers who harrass you probably give other miners in your area the same treatment. Other miners, if left unharassed, will fill the markets with minerals and decrease the price...thus lowering the proft you gain from your own.
In essence, gankers are a positive force for the peaceful industrialist. You have more to lose from a sustained decrease in mineral prices than you do losing an individual ship or two to a gank. If you can refine your playing habits and become more careful, and out run or otherwise avoid the gankers, you can stand to profit more from your work.
Besides, Gankers make mining slightly more entertaining. In the same way that winning in a casino feels all the more rewarding because you had the possibility of losing... successfully mining is more rewarding when you know there is the danger of a gank that you avoided. If mining was 0 risk, it would not be nearly as rewarding. In the cat-and-mouse game that is low sec, there is no shame in learning to be a better mouse. |

I'm relatively new myself, just getting into the mining and building side of things, and if I want to fight anyone, I'll go into the lowsec. But while I'm not in the mood for fighting, I stay in the hisec and surely there must be a setting or something, that prohibits others to force me into a fight there (well, I usually mine there, so it's just a matter of them shooting me really, not a fight really). It's not even being blown up that's annoying or loosing a ship, it's cheap to replace, but the time wasted in getting blown up (obviously you get webbed and then it takes them 10-20 minutes to destroy a retriever, because they are inept) and wasted in replacing it is really turning me of this game (aside from the fact, that it takes months before you can fly any halfway decent ship).
So, anybody can tell me either way, is there a setting or something, where I can stop those morons? If not, is it actually the intention of this game to do this? If so, I'm out of here, I have to deal with enough morons in real life, and I couldn't be bothered to do so and call it "entertainment". There is other better games out there, some are even free. To think I was even considering getting a second account on the current special offer - uugh.
rofl
So let me get this straight, YOU want to be able to affect other people in the game (by "mining", every bit you mine lowers the value of everyone Else's minerals), but when they affect you (buy blowing you up), that's somehow wrong?
This is the main problem many of us have with your type. You don't understand that this game is about conflict on all levels, that there is no such thing as non-consensual pvp in EVE (CCP, PLEASE give us a pop up that says "by undocking you are consenting pvp"), and that is NOT some solo/casual playground, it's an integrate gameworld where everything you do affects someone else in some way.
CCP, being a business, well never ever take this stance, but I (not having real life money at stake) can: the game would be so much better off without these kinds of people. "Good" carebears (who don't want to shoot things but don't complain about getting **** and actually take care to protect themselves by being in a good corp) are welcomed, bad ones should go play WOW or STO or something.

I sympathize the OP. What I can say is try to understand this:
If you have stuff in your cargohold, and they take up space, what do you do?: Jettison it. Once is out there floating, it's bait for griefers. So understand that jettisoning something, is tossing it because you can't hold it. But I don't like the fact that griefers can dock while they are under the aggression countdown. That's cowardice and motivates people to grief for the sake of griefing, which is what makes some people unsubscribe.
Nullsec players complain about low population and noone to play with. Well, if you kill someone whose sole source of income was missioning, awas full of implants, forgot to insure and upgrade the clone; that player was set back weeks of gameplay in normal people's life. So griefers are nothing but a nuissance and damage the game and contribute towards the exodus of future players who could make EVE better.

Quote:So griefers are nothing but a nuissance and damage the game and contribute towards the exodus of future players who could make EVE better. Fortunately, griefing is a bannable offence in EVE, and the competitive elements have so far contributed to a continuous influx of players. People who join but who refuse to compete do not make the game better, so if they leave, that's not big loss.

Your definition of griefing is not CCP's definition of griefing, which is all that matters. Griefing is bannable when it occurs. |

Sure. Leave hi-sec. Yeah, just leave high sec, though you can expect to be ganked in the first jump or two by gate camping muppets who prey on those venturing into low sec. You people with your one line ill thought replies on this forum never cease to entertain me.
You obviously never ventured there. It's largely empty.

Welcome to EVE, As punishment for calling me and many of the other fine denizens of this internet spaceship universe "morons", you must now suffer retaliation for this "social faux pas". Please log into an easy accessible hi-security system, preferably in Caldari space so that I may disrupt your mining ventures however I see fit. If this does not suit your schedule than you may also choose to enroll into your nearest non-NPC corp where upon I can grant you the wisdom an experience that is being "wardeced" Alternatively, you can pay a fine of 500mil ISK to this character to cease all harasment.

Yep, the game is designed to provide the maximum freedom to all players, with police system set up to provide penalties in high sec for lawbreaking. However, this gives every player the power to screw you over completely if they so choose.
That is how CCP set up this game for better or worse. If it infuriates you, you are better off just quitting because this will never change. |

I am currently wondering what type of ship would need 10-20 minutes to kill a Retriever, the only answer I can think of would be a noobship with civilian weapons. A Retreiver can field 5 light drones. I guess within 10-20 minutes those could kill about 20 noobships, even with bad droneskills. -.- |
