What's with all of the new posts about ppl getting attacked in low sec? Is this something new that I haven't seen in the past 2.5 years? Are they using h4xploitz that they haven't told me about yet or are there genuinely just that many newbies running about?
And ffs, if you're in low sec expect to be attacked at all times.

Wannabe pie-rats hunts in lowsec space because when they go to 0.0, they would actually get beaten down due equal or more powerful foes to be faced. You all "so called" piwates just seek out easy and soft prey to kill and flex your muscles .. and forget about fair battles. It's all eighter gatecamps, gatesnipers and 'ceptor blobs.

Your signature describes you well.
And the sudden influx of these threads arti is because being killed is not supported by this game and the fact players are partaking in it should be taken to the dev's attention immediately.

Kuolematon you are truly clueless.
in .4's there are alot more traffic wich equals to much more profit.
in 0.0 there are mostly blobs if you ever find anyone.
and why do pirates kill ppl?
to loot the stuff and then sell it.
now where do we find most profit again?
and where is it closest to sell the stuff fastest for as high we can get.
clueless indeed.

ahhh the old "why dont you go to 0.0 and be real pirates" nonsense.
been there done that and it was ****e....
1. 0.0 is empty in general, and when its not its owned by an allience and you have no hope of a 'fair fight' as you put it, unless you are a mighty big group of piewats.
2. alliences own the stations, so getting a clone in the area is near on imposible let alone the other services one might require such as a factory.
3. pirates tend to accept ship losses as part of the job, fekkin long way to go to get a replacement ship seeing as your clone and factories are out of 0.0, 1 fight 1 loss another hour or so to get back into the action.
4. solo or small group hunting in anything bigger than a frigate is a risky buisness due to allience gate camps, so any 0.0 space of any worth is inaccessable to a large ship, leaving you in vast empty areas of no interest or population, therefore a complete waste of time.
5. on the off chance you find a system with people in, as soon as anyone shows in local they either safespot or dock, especially if you have a negative sec rating, another royal waste of time.
I could go on, but unless you wanna either be involved in an allience or stick to a few systems where you might if you are lucky find the odd ship at a gate that doesnt have instas or WCS and actually wants to fight you, 0.0 is a waste of time for a small group of pirates, IN MY EXPERIENCE. Low sec is far more profitable, has far more combat, is far more time efficient, therefore giving you more value for subscription costs, if you are pvp minded.
the added difficulty of sentry guns and flag times makes it a far more exciting prospect. you can have your ships with your clones in the area you want to fight, easy access to modules and materials etc. there really is no other choice IMHO.
So before you start playing the 0.0 card actually have some idea about the people it is you are trying to taunt, and the needs that they have in their day to day gameplay.
I have met so many 0.0 warriors that forget they have the backing of an allience, and think that maybe 1 fight a night or the occasional fleet blob makes them somehow superior to the pirates who fight and get killed all the time.
yes a lot of kills are easy, they pay the bills, same as your ratting or roid kills, but there are many many other fights with well experienced and PVP set up pilots, including other pirates.
So either give it a go your self if you have the balls,
or dont comment on something you clearly are not qualified to comment on.

what is clueless about blowing up a mining barge and getting more isk from it that you would from an entire 0.0 spawn (unless you were really lucky).
its called paying the bills.
pirates in general attempt to kill anything they find unless it is total suicide. easy kills are welcomed with open arms, decent fights are loved by all, no matter the outcome.
i know what, how about pirates never attack a sitting duck??

I ransom in a solo rupture, and have taken on domi's (granted I lost), thoraxes (beat every one), destroyers, apocs, exeque... that amarr cruiser, etc. The majority of pirates don't hunt in 0.0 for the simple fact that unless it's an NPC system, we can't dock anywhere to unload our booty.
And I take it you have never been to 0.0, as the majority of combat there consists of gatecamps, gatesnipers and ceptor blobs

Wait a minute. You're saying pirates are people who are picking on easy targets because they don't dare to fight a blob that will camp them for hours? Killing barges and haulers is not a substitute to getting a good fight. Killing easy targets is like going to work, doing all those phone calls to get the books published (given that you're a publisher). Getting into good fights is more like doing volunteer work in Africa. Oh so giving, but oh so frustrating at times.

And ffs, if you're in low sec expect to be attacked at all times.
I've only seen one or two posts about someone being attacked in low sec. 2 people making a post about it isn't really 'all of the new posts'. But of course you have a very strong point.
I'm a complete newb to the game, and i've gotten killed in low sec a handful of times (never in anything very expensive, nor carrying expensive items/cargo, at least I'M smart ) but I would never, EVER, complain about it on the forums. People get killed in MMORPGs, it's how life works. There will always be ruthless outlaws, there will always be carebears, and there will always be a mix (PvP'ers are the mix) it doesn't matter what MMORPG you play, everyone will fall under one of these categories. Complaining about it just fuels the flame of the outlaw ego even more. If I ever killed and podded someone, and then they start crying about it like some of these other posters have, I would laugh so hard about it.
The moral of this story: if you can't handle the heat, stay out of the fire. And I say 'fire' because one of the posters deliberately knew he was going into low sec; the game even gives you a warning before entering low sec if you didn't turn the warning off. You know you have a chance of being killed, so seriously, do not whine about it. If you cannot handle the thought of a challenge, or danger, or losing things, then stay out of the fire, aka stay in secure space.
In other MMORPGs, you can be killed anywhere, but in EVE you literally have the choice if you want to live and travel in unsecure space, secure space, or uncolonized space (0.0). This game is good for carebears, outlaws, and PvP'ers, that is why it is so popular. So many different options and choices for different types of playstyles. But when you know there's the threat of danger, and you get killed, then you have no right to whine about it.

O RLY? Know saying that "All publicity is good publicity, as long as your name is written right" ?
I'm just trying to say that MOST pie-rats tend to find easy targets rather than find fights where odds are against them. Those who does fight against odds, I salute you people and hope to meet you in battlefield .. or as my dear friend Liukas Kakka said, on SiSi
Ps: Forum Warrioring is a serious business, only those with balls to speak their mind prevails

Few reasons not to do 0.0
1) its not actually pirating, as anyone can kill anyone in 0.0 youve commited no crime, take no penalties, and can safely jump to that neighbouring .5 or whatever safe system when things get too tough.
2) Alliances hang in 0.0, meaning territorial clashes etc, meaning squads of roaming pilots (natural and to be expected) if i fancy some solo action, ill be very dead or equally disappointed, so probably best to look elsewhere.
3) Moving tons of ships and gear can be a right pain in the backside, corps/alliances like moving their gear a lot, and to be honest, i dont want to spend ages moving all my gear, esp if it takes me through empire, meanign most of my gear cant move there (im -10 etc.)
When i went -10 i knew id be limited there, and would have to make my stand/living there, i cant call someone a pirate who scores a few kills then goes off for a few weeks/months to do agent missions or battleship chaining to get his sec back up, just so you can score a few more few kills and end up back with doggy doo sec.
Outlaw/pirate means just that, not some 1/2 carebear inbetween, if your going bad, do it in empire and live with it.
Because i do this doesnt make me or people liek me "wrong" or "chicken****", i do it because its all i can manage, and its all i can do, im here to play a game and have some fun and amusement, not carry out a second career/job online.

Someone has to be the bad guy, yes?
What kind of boring game would you have without bad guys?
Would you prefer to be mining in lowsec carefree with no chance of being attacked?
Think about it.

1. People instadock or safespot the moment an outlaw enters the system. If you're non-outlaw they might take a chance and stay in the complex or whatever they are doing (basically not put themselves in a 100% safe position for the duration of your visit).
2. Being an outlaw effectively cuts you off from most of the markets (T2 always seems to be exclusive to 0.9-1.0 systems), forcing you to use alts to get any hardware at all. "Do the crime, do the time" is a crappy phrase used WAY to often by carebears and non-criminals in this game. This also has severe consequences for travelling to other regions. 70 jumps for a 30 jump route sucks and is very unnecessary.
3. When you're an outlaw, anyone can start a fight with you without fear of sentrys protecting you. This is very handy at times, because sometimes it is quite pleasant to have a low sec fight without sentrys. For every other occation, this sucks.

For your honest question (Despite fact you twisted my name to be something very bad in finnish language ;)) I will answer to you without any trolling:
I have no freaking rule. I have been away mere 8 months and last time I played EVE was solo lvl4 missions which burned me totally. Now I'm doing same and for my horror, following my mistake I made earlier this year when I left for WoW. Time to do something in EVE, eh?

I am not a pirate. I'm even not a wannabe pirate. Just because I don't want to be a pirate. (sorry birdy)
So why do I go for a hunt in low sec and high sec for helpless noobse? Well ... why go men at hunt if they can buy a rabbit in a shop? Or even go to a restaurant to get one right on the table? Because it's fun to hunt rabbits.
A second point is that the ppl who i live with tend to see piracy as cool. So having a sec status of 4.5 is not so cool. It will not hurt but 1.0 or below is better. As I shoot NPCs a lot my sec status is raising like mad. The only way to lower it is to shoot ppl in empire. And that's what i do.
Some ppl here in the thread used terms like PVPers and pirates and the like. I hunt NPCs to get loot and ISK. I build ships for myself and friend from the refined loot. I cook ammo and drones for the locals in paragon. And I have to mine from time to time because the loot is short on Zyd and Nocx. Then I went out with my corp and alliance to shoot other allicance players who come to our home. Or we visit other ppl homes to have some fun there.
What am I? A NPC hunting producing PVP pirate? No I'm not! I'm an EVE player and I love it!

Wannabe pie-rats hunts in lowsec space because when they go to 0.0, they would actually get beaten down due equal or more powerful foes to be faced. You all "so called" piwates just seek out easy and soft prey to kill and flex your muscles .. and forget about fair battles. It's all eighter gatecamps, gatesnipers and 'ceptor blobs.
Tells me you've never done either. I lived in 0.0 for over a year and killed and was killed by some of the best PvPers in Eve. And let me tell you, 0.0 is child's play by comparison to low sec Empire.
First of all you have to deal with sentry guns. Can you take down two cruisers and a pod while the sentry guns are firing at you? You also have to deal with aggression timers. In 0.0 you can persue anyone anywhere and try again. In low sec empire if you're not in a ship capable of tanking the sentry guns then your target can simply get to a gate or station and you will be unable to persue for 15 minutes.
Secondly, once your security status gets low enough you can be attacked anywhere by anyone. In 0.0 if an enemy jumps in and uncloaks you have the ability to attack immediatly. In low sec empire, not the case. If you see an enemy you have to wait until he attacks you which is a disadvantage (but can sometimes be fun when noobs attack you).
Third, intel in a 0.0 alliance is awesome. You know where everyone is and have a defined enemy (or two or three). You see a blip on the map and you can ask in Alliance Chat who it is and what's going on. In low sec empire you have thousands of targets but also hundreds of random anti-pirate corps looking for criminals to pop. The blip on the map in the next system could be a group of guys ready to jump you at the gate you are camping and you have no way to find out until it's too late.
Lastly I'd like to say that this game is all about having fun and the time I've spent as a pirate is a blast compared to the all day gate camps and blob wars of 0.0. Most of your 'powerful foes' in 0.0 NPC hunt or mine 30+ jumps from civilization where nobody wants to go anyway. Your targets amount to 2% of the population out there or around 15 people at any given time per alliance. Unless it's a blob of 100 people sitting in one system being proud of who they are, which is even less fun than hunting 15 people across three regions.
If you judge low sec Empire piracy it's probably because you got blown up a time or two and you're bitter about it. Judging how people have fun with their $14.95 a month, especially when they are much better than you, is sad. Plus lame. And also sad.

It's not about fair fighting, its about making isk. I belt pirate, and dont gatecamp or blob newbs. I even offer ransom options in case you want to keep your ship. It takes brains to stay alive in lowsec, whereas in 0.0, pretty much every region is claimed by empires that blob you at the first sign of incursion.
Awhile ago I went to FE territory to explore and maybe get a good fight in a kessie, just for the hell of it, with a buddy also in the same frig. What happens, we get blobbed by about 10+ ceptors and BSs, heh, fair fights my ass.
Do come down to lowsec though, I'll be happy to fight you ;) ...

being a pirate or not... the idea of the game is to gain isk to have ships and tools to use in the role play profession you wish to play. with that said pirates make their money by popping anything thaey can to grab loot or ransom off the players ship/pod. Miners well they mine ... commen sense on that one. then you have mission runners. each have there ways to bring you money. its all about how much attention you want brought to yourself. be a pirate and grief people to be remembered as ruthless/a arse/whatever... mission runner to hang with buddies and kill npcs for loots and isk or mine for days on end busting your head on the key board because your bored off your arse and cant take the BS no more. the current patch has made ALOT of idiot n00bs come out of the cloest thinking they can be a pirate so theres going to be alot of p o o p flying around with name calling and people trying to pull tricks ( that are lame just pay attention) a real pirate will not mess with you in low sec space because your weaker... hes going to mess with you to test out his new toy and seek a challenge. YARRRR 4tw!!!!

I'm just trying to say that MOST pie-rats tend to find easy targets rather than find fights where odds are against them.
Look dude... I ain't a pirate. I don't complain about being killed because I know I run the risk of it in 0.4 and below. As someone before said, can't take the heat stay out the fire. And another thing. Why would a pirate go looking for a fair fight, or where odds are against them? that's stupid. Easy targets = easy money.. plus they're pirates!! They're 'scum' they're ment to be hated and just kill anything anywhere. Come on dude, it's called Role play.
I say big up ze pirates. They do they're job.. you do yours. If you hate pirates why don't you kill them?!
