Get out!!!
Seriously I'd purge you for being such a whinny twit if you were in my corp.
You live in null, you rat for isk and you takes your risks. That risk is that neutrals coming through are trying to kill you. It's ok though because we're trying to kill them too so it works out. If I were out roaming hostile space I'd be as quick to kill their ratters as they are to kill ours.
I lost two Ishtars today, one stupidly to rats by forgetting to turn on my tank before warping to an anomaly then a second while I was sorting that character out and I forgot to keep an eye on intel and missed the hostile gang that came through and got me. It happens, they're not the first ratting boats I've lost they won't be the last. As long as I can make more isk than I lose then it's just the cost of doing business, if I lose more than I can make then I change activities.
But you will not see me cry about it, hell some guys got one of my ratters a few weeks back and contracted me the corpse, I sent them an evemail congratulating them on the kill and thanking them for the laugh.
Basically lighten up, it's a game it's meant to be fun it just so happens that sometimes the other guy gets to win and that means you get to lose.
You gambled, you lost, simple as that. You should have warped out the second you noticed the hostile in local, you got greedy and stuck around to finish off that BS to make that extra mill isk and that cost you your ratting ship and clone, What should you do? You chuckle about it, send them a GF in local and try to make a better choice next time. I mean you would't accuse the other team of being psychopaths if they beat you in a basketball game would you? So why are you getting all bent out of shape because they beat you at spreadsheets in space? |

You do realize the OPs mentality is the standard for most null bears right? Once again proving that the most risk averse players are null bears.
No the OP's mentality is not the standard for most "NullBears", Most "null bears" accept that a certain amount of risk is inherent in any activity and take actions to mitigate those risks as best they are able. The null bears I know get a chuckle over losing a ship, because if we couldn't shrug it off we'd have moved back to high sec already.

Blowing up other people's ships. I can see both the profit and the fun in that. But podding makes no sense. No profit. No challenge. And you can't mock them in Local once they're gone.
Sure you can, see my earlier post about the guys contracting my corpse back to me. That was a nice touch that could certainly get under the skin of people like the OP. Plus it's more killboard padding particularly now that implants are included on the mails. Hell I've lost plenty of pods worth more than the ship I was riding.
In null sec it's simple. If they aren't friends you shoot them. that's all the reason one needs. |
