Yeah look i saw some fighters abandoned a short d-scan from a gate. Some locals would ninja PVE some faction ship blueprints out of sites. If they got spotted they would just split and leave these 20+m isk frigate sized drones around.
So i fit a drake for probing, which isn't as simple as slapping on a launcher, to pinpoint something small you have to gimp it's fightability.
There i am finding these expensive knick-knacks when SUDDENLY TENGU UNCLOAKS
zOMGOMGOGM deploy 5 small ecm drones.
He loses point, i fly away.
Local tears = "Ecm eeeewwww"
But i'm all like: "Ecm is the new black darling"
T3 pilots don't often seem to bother much about their sensor strength.
The three kinds of people i've encountered who are not risk averse are: psychopaths, idiots, brain injured.
OP troll leads to ok thread, nice.

The analogy is Hunting.
People get up at 3 in the morning, drive hudreds of miles including dozens of miles on long (timewise) dirt roads.... hike a ways in carrying their guns and some crap,
.. along the way they're looking for signs.. they use care and strategy in selecting a spot.
They need to anticipate where their pray might be even before they leave the car... then need to look at signs that the deer had used a route recently (wrecks ? lol) . Then, they might attacth some expensive seat device up the trunk of a tree.. climb up , then sit there for two hours until a deer comes along.
In a moment of adrenalaine, there is some care necessary. The need to be sure not to Scare the dear... lots of skill in staying steady. They need to make a clean deliberate move and make the first shot count before the deer is spooked.
Lots of skill.. in terms of knowledge and selection and a fair amount of skill needed to get off that clean shot gracefully.
No Fight needed.
No fight needed for the activity to be an activity enjoyed for hundreds of years with guns... thousanands with arrows etc (prey might have varried)
Whole cultures are built around the sport. Some people hate it but alll that matters is that some people love something for it to have merit to some people. Other's opinions do not alter the merit of the activity for others.. and honestly held with priorities diffferent than those that do not like the idea. And then the magic space deer drops on you and explodes your gun and other equipment
Oh yass yass, imagine for a moment, if you will, a deer that has evolved the equivalent of ECM. What was originally a malformed nasal passage proved no detriment and was given the required millenia to morph into a powerful echo chamber. A new species of deer that can squeal when it senses your presence and make you dizzy, blur your vision.
The Squealing Deer call can fill a valley with disorienting noise, nothing feeds on them except microscopic parasites.
The Hunters pray that their prey will be nerfed.
The Squealing Deer gently drink the Hunter's delicious tears from their disoriented, semiconcious faces.

Edit: never had a Twitter or FB account, not a computer guy, not given to thinking i'm a complex person who sees through and around all the simpletons i share the world with, a vigorous but considerate lover, like pina colada and walks in the rain.
