For all the crap you see posted about this topic, for all the drama, it is absolutely pointless to debate. If you aren't a hisec ganker, NONE of this affects you. so please STFU, undock, and go shoot something. |

Thats a silly argument; your statement is true for every type of out-of-station player. You could swap miners, with Mission runners, ratters, FW pilots, PVP'rs, Pirates.

Thank you for your pointless post.
It's not a debate if there's only one side of the argument represented.
Maybe you should follow your own advice. |

I am not for or against ganking I am just damn tired of people defending the fact that miners refused to do anything and got a change from CCP.
Ganking should be hardered then a t1 dessy yes but FFS put a tank on your ship before you start crying to momma CCP to make the bully stop.
Edit: Also what is hard about mining Ice pretty sure that is easy isk that can make more isk/h then ganking. I get tired of people saying that miners could defend themselves, but that's not going to stop some people saying it. Miners could defend themselves to a point but that point was limited to the skills they have trained and how long they've been playing for the much needed sp. Before the change, even before t3 BCs, you could survive two volleys from 1 ship if you had tanked the exhumer, so if CONCORD was a bit slow you were in trouble. The way I see it is suicide pilots grew in response to the isk that could be made at little cost to them. Why so popular because isk is important to some people because they require it to buy PLEX to keep their accounts running.
This right here is the point. You have people getting into exhumers that are unskilled to fly it properly. Its the same as getting into a battleship. You can do this is 15 days but you will not be able to do anything with it. Shield tanking skills are required to fly an Exhumer well but miners didnt train for it. If I sit AFK in an untanked Tech 3 ship and someone comes along and kills me should I demand a buff from CCP as the risk is not worth the reward for shooing an untanked ship?
Exhumers should have been changed but adding EHP should not have been done a simple addition of PG and CPU would have been enough. |

If they absolutely had to buff mining ships this would be the way to do it. Don't give them resists that out do HiC's and a massive EHP boost. At least by buffing the PG/CPU you preserve choice. Goonwaffe is now recruiting feel free to message me in game for information about joining! |

Yes actually I need a developer definition of "easy isk" the actual numbers of gankers : miners and the number of miners that actually decided to tank their hulks : the number of miners that did nothing. Also the developer reasoning on why isk cost should be a balancing factor.

That quote taken from Soundwave has been taken way out of context. If this is the case then freighters never should die unless you bring more to the fight then the ammont of isk they are hauling. 10 bill mission runners shoudn't also die because of the cost of the ship. You CAN NOT one more time CAN NOT use the arguement of isk is tank. Pleas stop doing this. |

My mission Tengu with its gigantic EM hole clearly shouldn't be gankable unless you brought 800m isk at least. Shooting lasers, EM missiles, or EMP is cheating. http://themittani.com/features/local-problem A simple fix to the local intel problem |

You can infer that the developers believe it was too easy for the mining barges and exhumers to be suicide ganked.
They said it.
They put in the changes to the ships.

I would give you plenty of lead to chew on. On sight. In my mind, high sec is where civilized player play, and none of that nonsense should be allowed.
I think the changes to aggression will help alleviate this concern, but the problem won't be completely gone. I rather that low security standing players step in fear into high security. They fully understand that stepping into high security with low standing means they are at the full mercy of the high sec population. They earned it, they should reap it. No you wouldn't, because you're a coward. And I don't mean that as a personal attack; it's merely an observation based on your posting tendencies and content.
The fact that you're a coward, and the fact that other players who share your sentiments about ganking are cowards, are exactly the reasons why CCP makes changes to the game wherein the "consequences" for criminal activities are enforced by NPC entities, instead of the players themselves, who already possess an overabundance of mechanics to deal with gankers, thieves, and ninjas, and have indeed possessed the means of prevention and retribution for a long, long time.

Agreed. The best tank in Eve is 'IQ' tanking. Making it easier on people changes the core of what Eve is.
Have you seen the 'pilots in space' map recently? The situation is becoming dire. Everyone talks about players in Nullsec, but judging by the map, the highsec players outnumber the null sec players by a ridiculous amount.
As for low-sec. Well. LOL. |

No one is seriously suggesting that any part of Eve, except in stations should be safe - and hopefully that will change in time - all that has really happened is that ganking now costs more.

Except that CCP put forth a ~wonderful~ precedent here in caving to the miner howling. Now we all should not have to adapt at all should we howl loud enough on the forums even if everything is actually fine. The EHP changes and resistance changes should be reverted, except for the skiff/procurer. Goonwaffe is now recruiting feel free to message me in game for information about joining! |

Clearly not beating a dead horse. You seem to believe that that the issue we're discussing is whether the exhumer buff was correct or not. That's not what we're discussing. The debate here is about the wider implication of simplification of Eve. |

I think people are getting to hung up on the Exhumer part of this. I am more concerned with the changes purposed in Crimewatch. Ganking freighters in empire is a valid means to hinder your enemy. With the changes this might not work any longer. War deccing them does not work as they are in NPC corps. I wish James would have focused more on the new Crimewatch and left the Exhumers out of it as it always draws the debate back to that and instead of the future releases coming out. |
