Okay, I will admit I haven't read much of this thread, so maybe the ideas are already in here....
1) If you can get out of station and into warp w/o him tackling you, you can run all over the known (hi sec) universe and he won't be able to touch you. Pods are amazingly hard to tackle. You also learn quite a bit about the mechanics of undocking, when to warp, timers on stargates, etc. I am assuming you have nothing plugged in your head and the clones at your level are still free? So podding is absolutely, utterly free if that is the case. Leave your ship safely in station and see if you can escape his camp. If you do get podded, you will reappear wherever you clone is, which might be far away and allow you to play elsewhere.
2) Make a point to waste as much of his time as possible. Stay logged on in station, but go read a book, do laundry, make dinner, take a shower, whatever. Maybe undock in your pod and go re-dock in another station in system. Do NOT log off when you go to bed/school/work/whatever.
3) Do not say a single solitary word to him. You seemed to already have done this, but now he knows he is making you unhappy. Do not ever give anyone the satisfaction. The silent treatment. Even if you die in your pod (or ship) do not utter a word. Griefers (or noob corp dec'rs) thrive on tears. Even if they are not truly 'tears', he will see them that way. If he tries to chat, don't refuse, just leave it in a little window in the corner. He won't know if you are even there or not. OR even better (and this has worked), set your CSPA fee (is there still one?) to a high number and accept the chat, forcing him to give up some isk (1 mil used to be the max?).
4) Create a trial account (not sure on the current rules re: this) and place on the trial toon for a while. If you go to the same station, I think you can trade goods directly in station and can also keep an eye on the dec'r if you want. If you don't want to create a trial account, create a second toon on your existing account and play on it. Eventually, if you stick with the game, you will be using at least two, if not all three, of your accounts anyway.
Finally, on the overall issue of protecting the noob, then the noob has to also be prevented from being useful. If you were in a larger corp, you could be very effective currently as a scout or even a tackler. Would it be 'fair' to protect you as a noob while still allowing you to be an effective asset?
Btw, a Vagabond (properly fit) is a frigate killer extraordinaire...don't both sending suicide frigs at it.
Even when you have 6 months or a year or whatever under your belt, unless you have enough buds with you, you will spend a lot of time holed up in a station waiting out a war target. Practice now :). |
