If you fire the first shot you are the aggressor, and your opponent is simply defending her/his self.
If they fire the first shot at you, they are the aggressor, and you are simply defending yourself.
Me, I'll never fire the first shot.
Spoken like a true high sec dweller. |

Me, I'll never fire the first shot. Spoken like a true high sec dweller. You make that sound like its a bad thing.
You're a blind man giving input on what colors compliment each other. |

But they fired the first shot they are the aggressor, and you would have the moral high ground to return in a better combat ship for revenge, provided you made a note of your opponents name.
I'd stick to high-sec if I was you. What a pompous and patronising statement.
And yet completely accurate. |

Suspect/Criminal flagged?
Below -5.0 sec status?
Is target a local with backup close?
Is target a PL zergling with a cyno?
Can you kill target before backup arrives?
Can you kill target before you die to gate guns? (if target isn't -5.0 sec status and in lowsec)
Can target kite you to death?
How is target tanked? (active or passive)
Is there a cloaked falcon 30 km away from me that will make me throw my monitor out the window after I die?
Does target have an OGB?
Do I have backup close enough to get here in time to help?
The list goes on and on.
About 60% of the 'PvP' in EVE is answering these questions before your 30 second loading cloak disappears and decide to engage or not to engage.
What if it's an out of alliance PL alt with a cyno? |

When 'Is the target a PL zergling with a cyno?' question rises to the top of the list there are a few other questions that must be answered... Do you see at least 1/3 of a fleet composed of Tech 2 logistics ships on dscan? Do you see 30 T3 battlecruisers on dscan? Did you see 30 Nyx's on scan on your way through Amamake? Does the target have a slight air of scumbag entitlement? Does the target not respond in local chat due to his strict alliance rules? The douchebag checklist goes on and on...
My what lovely nerd rage you have there. Also since when do we fly T3 Battlecruisers on fishing fleets and have rules against talking in local?
PS. No entitlement here, just smug superiority. |
