They are the vital backbone of this game, generating content and meaning for thousands. Stories of their epic deeds spawn articles in the media almost weekly and get new players to join. The only thing that the heroic miners would ask is to make mining a bit easier, as the current implementation is highly taxing and requires deep knowledge of the game. Mining also has some risks, such as getting bumped out of mining range, which is unacceptable.
Actually I think that the miners of EvE would like a yellow paint sprayer that they can use to mark peoples pods.
Then they can mark the cowards of EvE with a big yellow strip down their backs.

Edit: I've just had a revelation. The reason miners refuse to orbit/stay ATK/fit tanks/position themselves properly/use appropriate ships/mine somewhere else/blow us up/hire mercenaries to blow us up is because it would be cowardly!
This explains so much!
To use the games mechanics you can not undock so you never get blown up would you call that cowardly?
People who specifically go after those people who cannot fight back are cowards
It is kind of the definition of a coward, some on who is too scared they might get blown up by someone who can shoot back before they can get them.
Dropping a super carrier on a battle cruiser = Coward
Attacking defenseless ships = Coward
You can frame it how ever you like but going after the weak and helpless is cowardly. There really is no other way to describe it.
Call yourself a brave defender of some such crap it doesn't matter
A coward is a coward.

Yeah I don't think any one would swallow that.
Kind of like an oil company creating a massive spill and saying Darwinism.
Plus Darwinism is more to do with a species ability to adapt, yes the strong attack the weak over scarce resources but at the end of the day you will not find many members of our society that will praise those that attack the defenseless.
As I said call it anything you will it is still cowardice.

Oh did I miss the statue someone put up for these pirates?
I thought they were hunted for being scum and people tried to put a bullet in their heads, my mistake.

Personally I am happier to call a coward a coward rather than saying that they are some how better because they are not even big enough to be a real life coward but have to be cowards in a video game.

Personally I am happier to call a coward a coward rather than saying that they are some how better because they are not even big enough to be a real life coward but have to be cowards in a video game. I have to ask, though, why you feel it neccesary to call out the coward in the first place. Is it because you think they will change their behavior? Or maybe to differentiate yourself from these people? Or does it make you feel better about yourself to bring someone down to your level?
To be honest for the same reason that people have been calling out cowards for hundreds of years.
An attack on someone defenseless is wrong and should not be encouraged nor should cowardice in general even in a computer game, scamming yeah i am good with that, pvp yeah I cant say i like it particularly but its still good, attacking the defenseless, nope those people are scum and should never in any way be lead to believe otherwise.
Edit: actually thinking about it I would like to ask why you believe that attacking the defenseless should be praised?

Some Rando wrote:I mean, if they're cowards you should be able to drive them off with a simple bloody nose, right? They won't put up a fight because they're cowards and bullies, right?
Except they too hide behind the police, so you cannot give them a nose bleed without suffering one yourself. So the obvious solution is to have another character around with guns as they will not attack that and they don't they go find someone else who is defenseless.
Cowards one and all, call it what you will but that is all they are.

Shareholder dividends, right here. Agreed. The 100mil I gave to James 315 was some of the best space-cash I've ever spent.
Yes and I would love to see me get ganked mining, oh wait my alts in hi-sec fly skiffs so nope safe there. This character, completely safe as I don't fly defenseless ships around in hi-sec mostly because I rarely go to hi-sec.
Amazing how people come up with different labels to call what is just cowardice.
