not too bright are you? I guess its typical of someone who stoops to shooting noobs in a barrel for their petty thrills. Most suicide gankers have orcas with all their ships in it and usually a noctis. Maybe if you weren't so awful and afraid of pvp you would be choosing targets that actually care when they get blown up, are equipped with actual weapons, and can't recover their losses with afk work inside a day. Hey, you are the one making brainless assertions like "suicide gankers get angry" when they lose..... a disposable ship that was intended to die anyway. And the rest of it doesn't make sense either. I measure success in terms of ISK destroyed and # of carebears I cause to quit the game. Behind Door 1: Roam low-sec, waste hours and maybe blow up a Rupture worth 10M that is guaranteed to be Platinum insured. Collect no tears, because the victim doesn't really care if they die - because in low-sec people expect to die and risk nothing. Behind Door 2: Or, blow up 300M ISK uninsurable Hulks, inflict significant pain while earning ISK from salvage and extortion fees. Gee, Monty, I think I'll go with Door 2. 
It doesnt make sense to blow up an orca full of suicide ganker ships and a noctis? lol. OKAY. btw, hulks dont cost that much and are insurable. Judging by the nonsense comming from you, I can assume you are a troll, and a bad one at that. Seems like all you do is salvage other ppl wrecks, lol. Thanks for making me feel better about my brain, kid. Glad I'm not nearly as pathetic. |

Of course I 'salvage other ppl wrecks, lol'. After I've killed them. Then I salvage my suicide wreck too.
Yes, many suicide gankers use Orcas. I've got 11 or 12 of them staged at different icebelts myself. And no, the Noctis is never carried around in an Orca providing ganker support - for reasons which should be immediately obvious. Whatever gave you that stupid idea? Please, please don't make me explain why.
Naturally, I was referring to Hulks prior to the Aug 8 patch, which wildly affected prices. Oh, OK, yeah T2 Exhumers are 'insurable'. Got it. How much of the purchase price is recovered again?
Aside from that, sure it 'makes sense' to blow up an Orca, but the trick is doing it. If you think a suicide ganker is going to somehow give you aggro rights against an Orca alt, you seriously misunderstand how they are actually used.
I'd like to see the KM where you actually killed an Orca full of suicide ships, since you are apparently the expert. .....Oh wait - to do that you'd have to actually HAVE ONE first....and come out from hiding behind your troll-alt.

I have had to edit numerous troll posts, non constructive posts and personal insults from this thread. As I have stated before, such things will not be tolerated on these forums. Understandably some issues will arise from time to time that cause things to get a little heated, however that does not excuse slinging personal insults at one another.
These forums are for the benefit of the community as a whole, so lets keep the discussion clean and on topic in future, that way we might achieve something. Thank you - ISD type40. ISD Type40 Ensign Community Communication Liaisons (CCLs) Interstellar Services Department |

This is a bad idea. What about mining ops where you have miners out of your corp or alliance. You need to empty jetcans just to get the ore, picking up with an Orca or a hauler. You get flagged that way, but no one shoots you because you are a friendly. After these changes anyone would be able to shoot your orca or hauler. This would end out of corp mining ops. |

Can't wait for this, should be fun to see all the orcas that get pop'd due to this. Hopefully I'll catch a couple.  |

Obliviously its the can flippers fault that the idiot attacks him.....
typical wow mentality if no self responsibility. I had a fun one tonight, I jump in on this moron with 5 macks botting, I attack 1 an he suddenly jumps a tengu in like thats gonna stop me. with 3 DCU's on it...idiot then threatens me since it isn't his fault hes sitting there boiting with macks that are totally unfitted.
basically todays EVE players are professional victims an its never their fault. Are you really crying about aggressors having to take some risks? LOL. Clearly, you do not have the capacity to think rationally and are in no position to call others "idiots". It is really amazing how so many disgruntled losers feel the need to take their anger out on miners instead of targets that will fight back. Cowards and scrubs trying to take revenge on the world. Glad I don't feel the need to stoop so low. Normal people would prefer a challenge than to shoot fish in a barrel. I'm glad CCP is taking away your riskless, easymode "pvp". I'm really glad that miner ganking is possible, but to dedicate very much time into annoying random people on the internet, instead of those who actually deserve to get **** on and clearly would rage more, is indicative of a sore loser trying to share his pain. Surely these miner gankers and can flippers would rage at least 10x harder than any miner they kill. Personally I prefer to blow up can flippers and would be suicide gankers because I know they are already in emotional pain and actually deserve it. when you blow up a miner, they really probably don't think much of it, that they are overdue, and can recover losses quickly with minimal effort. When you blow up some angst-filled loser who dedicates all his time to being a douchebag to random people, you know they are probably jumping up and down, screaming at their monitor and pulling their hair out. You know who you are.
lol your calling me names, what is this, schoolyard?.... As for there is no emotional pain in eve, or any other pain. This is a computer game, if you cant separate that fact then you should get off the internet now, because it isnt good for you.
"BOTTERS" an "AFKERS" deserve to be killed. They ruin the economy. You obliviously bot or afk or some such, an have some sort of idea that you are above the rule set the rest of us follow. I take risks every single time I gank people. With a 3b isk clone, and 200 mil isk ship loss every time I kill a miner... I wear those costs cos to me they are irrelevant. None of them are real an they have zero bearing on my life. Try it sometime...'
Your little passive aggressive rant an snide remarks to sidestep the editor seeing your post is really juvenile mate....
Come back an see me when you are over this....thing whatever it is.
edit by the way, "dedicating" my playtime to killing bots an afkers is my playstyle, how arrogant to you have to be to call my playstyle "being an ********" compared to yours where you screw up the economy with 1 billion unit trit sales on market, an trashing the prices all time... |

Of course you could just disband and reform your corp everything you get decced. Still though, sounds like a great plan. Good job ! Those who cannot adapt become victims of Evolugalbugaslugakjlwsdhvbzxd Click for old school EVE Portraits: http://jadeconstantine.web44.net/Maison.htm |

you might be waiting a long time. Nobody would do what you say if you get flagged to everyone. I'm not surprised at all at the brainless comments made by miner gankers. They pick on the defenseless because they themselves are stupid and awful at any pvp that takes actual skill.
I cant thank CCP enough for finally making this game attractive to real pvpers, instead of being the mindless joke it has been. |

its just unfortunate that most can flippers are cowards and probably wont be flipping many cans after this change. Still, I look foward to extracting many tears from the losers of EVE who are dumb enough to flip a can when I'm in system. |

Still waiting on that gank support-Orca killmail, since you like killing them so much.
Or at least an explanation on how you think you plan to kill a gank-support Orca (complete with a Noctis....!!!)
You are pretty long on insults and pretty short on....other things, buster.

I get the feeling that CCP is trying to make high sec PVP more available for everybody with this proposed change.
Presently, you can make the choice to flip cans, and get that sort of PVP that might be 1v1 or 1v corp. But all of the choice is wtih the can flipper at the moment.
They actually have to find a jet can, that someone already made the choice to jettison, to try for that PVP, and the owner of the can can decide on what to do about it based on any available combat assets.
But these days, a lot of people don't have time to go flipping cans all day to get that "one noob who takes the bait" or even better, some turn of events that leads to a fleet battle. While some mining corps can be vast, coordination is not as common nor as easy as some people think. These take a lot of time.
The implication of crimewatch is that you become a part of the equation without having to flip a can, nor be the owner of the can.
This adds a third party to the mix. Whereas we have a can flipper, someone who seeks PVP (or whatever), and the flipee, we now have a vigilante. The participation rate of this form of PVP has now increased 50 percent. You need not be an agressor nor a miner, but you can be a vigilante instead.
And this alone becomes another opportunity for PVP. Not looking for cans to flip, not waiting for someone to flip your can, but instead bouncing around looking for someone who is "flagged" because of this.
Last I recall, there was some cost to being a vigilante, being flagged yourself. I remember that was originally mentioned, but not aware of the latest notes. if this is the case, then there is a lot of potential.
Ultimately, the goal might be such that you undock and get PVP much sooner. It would be nice to do so, without roaming, scouting, having to join a 0.0 corp, or gate camp/cat and mouse in low.
Would this potentially turn high sec into some kind of PVP arena? I don't know, but I would hope so because I think a good time will be had by all.

As has been said all CCP is doing now is catering hand over firs tto the pve crowd. They want people to start talking about eve being "nice" an friendly an no risk... As the guy from Razor stated "complacency, stupidity will be even more widespread now. No matter how many times you tell them how to avoid trouble, it all comes down to them not wanting to take any responsibility. They have harrased CCP into playing for them.
Without over dramatizing things to much, it's a sad day for EVE to see it going down this path....

Indeed.
PvP is the result of things, most smart Eve players are seeking opertunities usually based on earning ISK, PvP is something that is often the result of our efforts. I personally never seek out PvP in its own right, but it just happens to find me on a regular basis because of other persuits.
Can flipping is something that I have used on occassion when someone is infringing on my oppertunities. For example if Im running mining ops and a bunch of strip miners are rolling on my turf, can flipping and harrasing them to get them to leave is a very effective way to ... solve the problem.
I do agree however that if your in a fleet with someone and you get can flipped, you should be flagged to everyone in that fleet. To me, a fleet is a temporary alliance that should be treated as "we are temporarily in the same corp" so that if I get war deced and fleet up with people, we are now all at war. This to me is in the spirit of the game and a missing component of the flagging mechanic. |

The problem with that is that fleets are fluid. People can join, leave, DC and come back etc etc and that would create a nightmare for the flagging system and it would be SUCH a mess it just won't work. There really is no problem in keeping it corp only, if people choose to not be in the same corp then they choose to have less options, it really is that simple. I would agree to an alliance wide flagging, simply because "it makes sense".

a nightmare for the flagging system? lol. Not really.
Also, posting on an alt doesn't invalidate anything, its actually a smart thing to do if you are a miner. You never know when some disgruntled butthurt baby might take personal offense to hearing the unwanted truth and dedicate his existence to trying to annoy you in EVE.

No matter how many times you tell them how to avoid trouble, it all comes down to them not wanting to take any responsibility. They have harrased CCP into playing for them.
Without over dramatizing things to much, it's a sad day for EVE to see it going down this path....
"its just unfortunate that most can flippers are cowards and probably wont be flipping many cans after this change. Still, I look foward to extracting many tears from the losers of EVE who are dumb enough to flip a can when I'm in system."
LOL there is no such thing as cowards in a computer game. I get you want to sound like your hard etc etc, but it comes off as...well, anyway. Fact is, CCP seem to have declared that our playstyle is now no longer valid. Mission runners will be next to get protection.
Can flipping (not something I bother with) ganking (my main gameplay style)
Seem to be on the outs. why not try PvP instead, it takes some skill i know, but.. give it a whirl you might even enjoy it. but i doubt you have the balls tbh. 
I love how the assumption in this thread is that if I engage another combat ship because of a can flip then it is not pvp...?
This thread inspired me so I went and flipped a couple cans last night. The result was a Drake dropping in on my Hawk. I couldn't win the fight after engaging but did manage to make an escape to a safe spot. After a couple minutes to allow shield regen I headed back into the belts where a fairly decent size corp presence (and at least one Drake) had kill rights on me. Encountered the Drake pilot again bit this time he was in a Dramiel.
The Dramiel and I had a great one on one fight and I wasn't sure of the outcome until he melted. Before the fight ended a Caldari Navy Hookbill landed on grid. It targeted me, so while the Dram was burning i targeted it, sure enough it goes blinky red and I am thinking I am screwed because i only have 15% shield left. Whatever though, was way too fun a fight to bail out on and you never know if you're up against a fail fit or not.
The Hookbill and I exchange probably three volleys and then Concord showed up to save my ass. Hookbill pilot wasn't part of the corp I offended.
Had a great night of 'PVP' and all the result of flipping a can. In my experience half the time someone takes the bait it is in a capable combat vessel. When you consider this is one of the few ways to get one on one, or small fleet vs. one combat, I would say they are ruining a very viable mechanic for PVP!
