The -10 punishment is pretty crap and not in a 'well it's reasonable and just and keeps me on my toes way'.

Simply being unable to enter highsec in anything that can't evade concord is not fun, doesn't help 'protect' anyone in highsec and simply makes what is, in my opinion, the best bit of EVE (lowsec living and piracy) a logistics nightmare, rather than a risk/reward issue.

I'd argue that -10's should be let freely into highsec without concord intervention and, while we're at it, remove the different steps in this 1.0-0.5 highsec blacklisting altogether.
I can see the idea behind it... keep the scum out of the best suburbs... make them drink in the 0.5 sec cantinas on the edges of civilised space.. yaddah yaddah. But in reality, it doesn't take a hell of a lot for someone to find themselves relegated to a tiny section of space. People quickly get the reaper badge in concord's eyes but in reality, the real 'undesirables' in EVE are the spammers in Jita, not the happy-go-lucky-lowsec-scamps.

Let the -10's enter highsec and risk being shot at?

They want to move that domi? Let them, and let them sneak the damn thing out. It'll make resupply possible (if a bit awkward when they'd obviously have to avoid key market systems in the name of discretion and safety). All the while, everyone else gets to have a go at them: vigiliante justice, that's EVE!

Let them try and flog their spoils, let them move their assets and let them mission if they like! Let them face the risk rather than face certain death at the hands of the faceless gods that make bounty hunting an impossibility.

Let's give the cloaky recons a job to do and let people gatecamp lowsec entrances like the empowered carebear paladins that they want to be!

Let's see noobs scramble to get involved in -10 grabs.

Let's see the true colours of the -10s as they bait and switch those eager beavers who try to take them on without knowing about the hidden logistics and secret ploys.

For God's sake CCP, let us play in the sand.

OP, are you trying to say there is no challenge in ganking industrial ships, haulers, and rookie frigates? Say it ain't so!

and all your alts

Or roam, which currently is pretty uneventful but likely will get more interesting with retribution FW and crimewatch changes

I personally know NOONE that regrets even one podkill. Hell - most pirates would pod themself - AND punch little kittens in the face.

Post with your main or GTFO :-)

Mmmm well , i didnt want to pod kill that dude yesterday because we had an OP going on wich required me to be able to fly through 1.0 in a big ship.But then he jumped to a safespot and stayed there for 5 minutes while i was thinking 'your ships down gtfo of low-sec dude '.

Needless to say i scanned him out to show him that it was not a 'safespot' and podded him in the hopes he learns from it.And then i couldn't go on the OP any more.Wich should learn me once again , do not touch the pod even if you rrrrrrrrreally want to.

So now you know someone who regrets having made a podkill ....

On the topic , been -9.9 a few times in my eve career and i HATE grinding sec stat back up so now just occasionally jump into low again but try to keep my sec stat above -2.5 if possible.

Actually, we produce more content than most people with +10.

are belong to us

Nice to meet you :-)

Well in such a long carrier you probably have seen it all.....twice

I looked at all the carriers and i couldnt figure out which one you meant.

Did you mean the Archon?

He was refering to your mom's ass i think ......

Man i love momma jokes .

You do realize negative security statuses aren't there to add content but rather to punish you for criminal acts?

It's probably going to have the opposite effect. Now that FW has been money-nerfed, activity is probably going to shrink to just a sliver of what it was during the peak plexing months.

I guess that means no more stabbed Incursus kills.

When i get home tonight me and your mother are going to have a serious talk about your attitude

When i get home tonight your mother and i are going to have a serious talk about your attitude

Its not eve hard mode, its not fun, and its definitely not worth it.

More and more I see my fellow negative 10 pilots slowly resign themselves to raising their sec status back to positive because being -10 conveys absolutely nothing to the eve experience.

^^ Cockney slang deciphered into proper English.

Also i don't consider people who camp gates with smartbombing bs or camping gates with 20 absolutions 5 guardians and assorted t3's to be pirating in sense of the word i'm refering to.
