Not QQ-ing on the matter

You know its gonna be a QQ thread when that is in the title.

Congrats OP. You're the first person to bring up this problem...

...In the last hour.

Why are you wasting your time with highsec DED sites?

Well, if this is encountered a lot (wasn't aware of that many people post about it), perhaps CCP could look into it. It would definitely help new players with their exploration efforts. On the matter of low-sec, I've thought about it, because you can at least fire at them without CONCORD interference, but I'll do the option Seraph Essael provided.

Thanks for that Seraph, I'll move systems to a hopefully remote area that hardly anyone visits. And also thanks to everyone else providing feedback and tips. It's appreciated.

please note: wardecs are not an option as I'm in an npc corp. And neither is a suicide gank, btw. :-)

I've encountered this quite often in high-sec. I scan a new DED site and start to destroy the rats. Then when I'm about to enter the last section, someone enters, hurries to the next gate and grabs the target with the best loot.

I understand it's all part of the sandbox, but what options do I have? Is it just a matter of more dps on my ship ? Or can something else be done about it?

How dare you ask a question in here!
Ofc the crusty hole munchers will shoot you down with their normal "U R QQing!!!1omg!1!!" line.
Personally I love it, CCP wants moar subs, and yet the scum drive them away! yeehaw!

Get a couple of friends in suicide ships and gank him.

Slight correction: why are you wasting your time in highsec?

Which is why EVE has grown in size every year for ten years, amirite?

EVE is a wretched hive of scum and villainy. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

That said, it's nice having people like you around. I need loot pinatas to distract the gankers from my activities.

Mmm, I suppose you need to actually read the post before you answer. I am not complaining on the matter, it's just frustrating to see all the work you did flushed down the drain.

Things that will not help: "not QQing" on the forums.

Bring a bumpy friend.

ETA: I'll help you. Your option is to go to lowsec. There, anyone coming into your plex is coming to kill you for your ****. The bonus is that you can attempt to kill them first, with no silly CONCORD intervention.

if you were killing rats when the gate was unlocked then... why were you shooting at the rats?


read on the sites, carry in your hold the gold tags, hacker cards, etc to skip rooms. learn the triggers, kill only the dps that you need to sustain your tank while you kill and loot the lootship. and above all, deal faction specific damage and fit a faction specific tank. use faction ammo or T2, depending on the target. carry paste to repair the modules that you should be overloading, etc, etc.

a faction specific tank that pushes resists up to 70% therm/kin tank can make sites like the serpentis 4/10 extremely easy to tank. a caracal can do it with t2 hams, and since the last ship is a battleship you will apply the paper DPS shooting rage missiles. i know that for a new player that might be pushing it, but the same tank on a drake will pretty much make the drake invulnerable to the rats. and require a lot less training.

if you can afford it the pirate variants like the gila can make highsec sites even faster than with the old t3.


remember that the people that fly around blitzing those sites are pushing their tanks to the limit. often they fit omnitanks so they don't have to refit, so if they steal your stuff follow them and if you have a few catalysts and a few corpmates, help the NPCs defend their overseer!.

Well said.

I'm against the idea of forcing anyone anywhere, such as out of high sec. i say play where you want to...BUT...accept the fact that there are and should be consequences for every choice. Some people don't get that which is why you get whinning about various things from high sec people and whining about cynos and cloaky folk from some null sec people (*cough RenterBears cough*).

One of the consequences of "exploring" in congested high sec space where you can't use force to prevent someone from taking your loot is...someone is going to take your loot and if you shoot them you get CONCORD. Don't like that, leave high sec and never have to worry about that (but then have to worry about other stuff), OR get better/faster/luckier and stay in high sec.

Of course that takes effort and being responsible for one's own enjoyment. Some people can't do that and it won't be long before there are calls of "CONCORD should shoot people who still my plex loot" or something.....

As usual this not so much helpful as trolling

It may have been applied with Jenn's usual layer of acidic words but truth is not trolling

WTF is wrong with you?

Explain exactly what about what I said was untrue.

The guy came here looking for help to his problem. I see one person provided good feedback. You on the other hand write multiple paragraphs trying to make it look like itGÇÖs all this guys fault someone is taking his stuff. This is not his fault per say but at least one person gave him some viable options to help himself.

So in short I guess you and people like you are my problem. You provide nothing to thread after thread except to troll it into the ground. Nothing I can do about it except to call you out on it.

For your sake and others like yourself better hope I never get ISD because you would be on permanent forum vacation.

I tend to forget not everyone is from where I'm from and some have a hard time with blunt truth. This is how we talk at each other in Texas, such has "don't be an idiot, don't have a problem".

Try being a former masshole living in Georgia. I love it here so much more than the ultra left state I abandoned but it took some getting used to. Apparently you're supposed to take "Your so special" or "sweet" as an insult. I also talk a blue streak, which can present challenges. LOL

That said, Hotlanta is teh awesome.

It is his fault. We're playing a video game. If you play pac man and get bit by a ghost, it's because you zigged when you should have zagged. This is EVE, people are supposed to compete with you if they want to, regardless of whether you do or not.

It amazes me, some people can't even take responsibility in a video game. The guy should get better at the high sec game or go where people can't steal his stuff (or where he could shoot back).

I mean , you literally just highlighted the word responsibility as if it were a bad thing.



So you can't deal with the truth, and it's somehow my problem? And you would use power given to you for personal gain/comfort rather than for the good of the community? That sounds about right for you.

This is why I hate your type too. You never can understand that it's you and your emotional over-sensitivity and inability to use or understand logic that is the problem, not the people around you.

LMAO emotional? Has zero to do with emotions or me even. This is all about you jenn and your inability to cope with whatever issue you have real life or otherwise that forces you to TROLL every single post .

So stop trying to look outward or to others for your problem and start looking inwards. There is where you real problem is.

Just because someone has a different way of expressing themselves does not mean they are always trolling. It could be argued that I feel griefed after reading every one of your sandy va**** posts but I know you can't help it.

I vacation in Savannah, it feels like home lol.

Being where I am I work with a lot of people from the North East and Canada (and everywhere else). They are great people and bring a lot to the table, but my God are they ever sensitive, especially the New Yorkers :) .

... trying to make it look like itGÇÖs all this guys fault someone is taking his stuff. ...

* Dons lore-glasses

Umm... Isn't it the rat's stuff, and aren't we capsuleers stealing it from them? So it wasn't his stuff until it's in his hold...

/lore-colored-glasses

I think of it as his since he entered the site. I know it goes to who gets it though. Same thing use to happen in eq2 a mmo i use to play. Would be harvesting a node and somone else would come up harvest on the same node, even though plenty other were spread around.

Some people just like being Richard Skulls.
