If I'm not mistaken, as part of the Goon doctrin, they play some game mechanic that rids the belt of concord after they shoot the miners.

This way they can reset the icefield so that the miners don't have a hour or so of protection.

It would happen almost as much, because yes, your tears are in fact that tasty. Every single time someone gets upset, it justifies every single cost involved in getting those tears to flow, because you must achieve op success at any cost.

Tears(anyone but their own, honestly) just make them want to do it again... Once again, no matter the cost.

Oh, and from experience, a corpies tears because a gank failed, or because you thought being ganked was actually kinda cool when he was going through saltwater withdrawals are almost as tasty as yours, just harder to get(its so easy to make highseccers cry)

Do you actually believe this? I mean seriously what a complete turd you are...tears salt wtf are you on with? Seriously go out get laid do something cos this **** makes you sound like a complete comic book guy.......now taste my tears you nob

I actually live down the road from games wrokshop fact......so many neckbeards taking this pixel game way too seriously...youre tears are pure I mean seriously what are people on about? I plaqy cos its fun same as other people if you encroach on my idea of fun ill adapt....I personally cant stand mining it makes me want to run headfirst into a wall but for me to sit here saying that killing them makes me tears i mean what a *****

The only way this makes sense is if you're an AFKing highsec pubbie who can count on one hand the number of ships he's lost this week.

(Usually these types run AFK missions and/or AFK bot mine, so they really don't count for anything other than target practice.)

For the rest of us, those who actually play the game, losing ships is a common enough occurrence that insurance is vital. To say nothing about newbies who rely on that insurance to get back into the game without mining or doing L1 missions in a newbie frig to buy a second battleship... every time they die.

I dont get what people are on about...salty tears I mean seriously wtf my ship blows up i buy a new one lol what is going on that people are so possessive over **** they own..its a game I've put a lot of time into yeah but thats all it is on either side if you are pursuing people for their tears deoesnt that make you a bit lonely and in need of a hug?

Yes, killing miners is kinda boring.

Listening to miners cry on the forums about it is HILARIOUS.

I personally cant stand mining it makes me want to run headfirst into a wall

The problem is all these highsec pubbies are so used to never, ever dying and never having to interact with anyone else that the loss of a single ship is a life changing event. Or something.

a-bloo-bloo-bloo, a-bloo-bloo-bloo ...

If I were gonna start a whinge thread about how them terrible Goonies are forcing me to actually play the game instead of engaging in activities they've publicly targetted, while AFK or botting ... I'd definitely do it with a character whose name involves ************.

On the other hand I, too, must admit to feeling some satisfaction when I read the mewling and bawling that these pubbie characters let loose with when the teat is slapped out of their mouths.

Cry harder, please.

This seriously what teat are you imagining what mewling? are you actually thinking any of this happens? You play a spaceship game in which you parody anyone who takes it seriously with proper **** internet spaceship parodies......

How I used to love when Lyris and Skunk were the voice of the Goons around here.

In light of how easily the goons have been able to clear gallente space of ice miners, I say the time has finally come to fix suicide ganking. Everybody is too afraid to mine gallente ice in hi-sec. What happend to concord? Oh that's right, concord are all but worthless in this.

I can think of two changes, one of which that should have been made a long time ago.

Insurance needs to be voided if the person dies to concord. Being able to gank targets in hi sec at little to no cost is stupid. Gankers being able to take up insurance so they can get paid to throw away their ships by comitting a crime is also stupid.

Concord needs to be improved, they are supposed to deter ganking from occuring in hi-sec, but they fail at this. I suggest that concord response times are greatly improved. It should still be possible to gank a target, but you'll need more firepower and there's a high risk of concord taking you out before you destroy your target.

These changes won't stop people from ganking each other in hi-sec, but anything that makes it harder will make a huge difference.

I agree the end result is probably more humorous than the doing...I mean you're targeting some guy that afks watching films he comes back to his pod.......there is no social interaction

Hows this for a buff for miners. Change ECM Bursts so they don't get you concorded, and give them that extra chance to run.

[quote=Alara IonStorm]You're supposed to have an escort if you're in a dangerous area.

And the random suicide gankers here don't like that idea of insurance being cancelled for suicide ganks, as actions have to have consequenceses... I see, oh wait

Oh yeah i imagined my sec status loss and my ship being blown up by concord. No consequences there at all.

Concord works fine, ganks are part of the game.

Insurance system is flawed. It should be transformed into contract based player driven business model.
Current insurance system pumps too much new iskies to the game and has no real function in the game.

Oh yeah i imagined my sec status loss and my ship being blown up by concord. No consequences there at all.

So you saying i like being blown up by concord and loosing my sec status? :Not sure if you serious:
