You might be able to get a -10 if you station camp Core Complexion @ 0800 Eve.

I posted this in the recruiting thread, and I realize now that the way I did it didn't make it very visible.
The New Eden Revitalization Experiment was canceled. I will no longer provide intel reports from Gonditsa.
The reason is the almost total lack of interest showed by the players the experiment was intended to help. After a week we had only recruited two players and received one request for a status report. That just didn't justify the amount of time I was putting into it.
A quick glance seemed to indicate that the number of ship kills in system dropped during the week of the experiment, but they have bounced back now. W/E
As I said in the last post in the recruiting thread, I think this is an idea that can work, and I would like to see someone with more time and assets take it over, if only as a proof of concept.
The bottom line is that people deserve the environment they live in. The game isn't killing your ships. The griefers aren't killing your ships. Your apathy is killing your ships.

Sigh. New Eden is an alternative civilization in a microcosm. People like you who would have no problem with being shot to death on the way to the supermarket in real life are doing your part to make sure that this new opportunity for mankind to get things right is going to be another painful failure.
A week is all I had to spare.
Thank you for your input.

Nice simile, and nice evasion of the issue. But I've talked to a few other players about this, and I think that some of the CCP developers will secretly agree with us, that this isn't just a slightly more complicated version of Castle Wolfenstein.

There is no part of the Eve Universe where non-consensual PvP is mandatory. At least in the little time I've spent in low and 0 sec, not even the little voices in my head tried to force me to attack anyone.
There are those who say, "I had to kill him before he attacked me." That kind of falls apart when the target is a ship that can't be armed. That's where the 'spy' defense for aggression comes in.
There always seems to be an excuse, but I think the real reason for most attacks is a lot simpler than any of the excuses. I also believe that the agreed upon definition of 'griefer' in the game is someone who does harm to other players for no good reason. People who would be considered 'chaotic evil' in the old D&D game.
There are people who enter low/no sec for frivolous reasons but I think that people should consider the idea that there are non-frivolous reasons for non-PvPers to go into the slums.
A quick example, close to home, is a miner who is having trouble making ends meet in a high sec area surrounded by low/no sec, because the local market is controlled. There are two options that I know of: 1. Mine until you go broke, 2. try to sneak out some of the best stuff.
One of the two areas where I have run into this problem is the Solitude region. There are two systems that access other regions, which suggests two access routes, with variations. (Or you could use a jump freighter, if you had one.)
The two most commonly used routes are one that requires 7 jumps in null sec. The other requires something like 17 low sec jumps.
Oh, and the issue is that, if this group were given the task of civilizing the New Eden area, as our ancestors attempted to civilize the Earth, there would be no game. New Eden would be a region of cave dwellers without internet spaceships.

Hmmm. I started turning purple, so I decided to check my comm logs. Oddly enough your name didn't show up in any of them. Is this a posting alt?

Hehe. This ->

But I think this has strayed far enough off the topic. Bye
