Ganking should be profitable.
ie. you don't do it for unprofitable targets unless you especially enjoy this activity.
High sec can be almost completely safe if you follow the first rule of eve. In fact, the corollary should be 'don't fly something others can afford to lose ships destroying on the averages'

In regards to AFK mining should it be 100% safe to do?
I read this a lot that people are mining Highsec and are AFK then get upset that their ship is destroyed which, to me, begs the question about this activity. Is this something that should be 100% safe to do?
no, because there's no way to accomplish that without making suicide ganking officially an exploit. And that changes the role of the police to protector, rather than avenger . it effects the whole ethos of the game.

Andski wrote:"afk mining is a valid playstyle" is an oxymoron since "afk" and "gameplay" are fundamentally incompatible but continue to defend your quasi-botting, it is amusing
I like ship spinning too :)

Can't understand why way lesser PvP games have extremely limited "safe" zones (and they provide nothing but shelter and some training NPCs) while EvE - the premier PvP game - has so much hi sec it hurts.
This is simple to explain.
EVE is not a PvP game. It's an MMORG with both PvE and PvP elements and nothing much compels you to do either.

funnily enough nobody has ever scanned down my drake except to ninja loot my mission and that's because it has an obscene tank b2b T2 meh loot drop if you can crack it.
And that's how you complacently bum your way around highsec.

I think it probably encourages people to move out of highsec also, just because they come to understand that if you're flying an expensive fit for highsec mission money then you're taking too much risk for too little reward and there's too much noise in highsec to identify threats easily.

If there are 4-5 outlaws all docked at your home station next to the Ice belt and a dozen asteroid belts, you should have checked local and the guest list.
If you did see them there and still went to mine, untanked, stationary, unaligned and went afk... There is little hope for you.
Edit: You referring to a miner ignoring the information presented by the game for their safety, not you in particular.
it's not just miners that get ganked though and that's a problem for highsec mission runners because you could have any number of red things in local and still be safe until you see combat probes, but are those combat probes concerned about you? do they even belong to the pirates? what if they have a corpmate or alt scanning for them in a covops ship? they could have warped in already and bookmarked the mission room.
if you have those concerns in nullsec then you just wait for them to **** off out of local. in highsec you have no idea what's going on .

So, what's the point of robbery if nothing is worth taking?
I feel like a tourist in this game. |
