2 days ago, i lost my thorax to npc pirates when my comp crashed, i lost all my best equipment and drones. luckily i had a few million in the bank, so i splashed out on a vexor so i could quickly work some cash back up for a thorax.
I had to travel 1 jump into low sec space in order to pick up the vexor, i got into the vexor, undocked and proceeded to warp back to high sec space for some safe mining. But no, whats this, m0o vito gf at the first stargate, QUICK TURN AROUND! but i was dead within 10 seconds. POD KILLED. Naturally i was a bit ****ED off, that i lost 2 cruiser, all my equipment, and all my cash within 1 hours game time, luckily i had a clone. I then logged off and sed .... eve.
The nxt day however i logged back on cos i was bored and sed, its not so bad, if i just work up a couple of mil i can get a exeq for 2 mil or so atm. So with help from my corp i had enough for an exeq within a couple of hours.
I went and picked up the exeq, and thought, right im not gonna lose this im stickign to high sec space for a while- so i headed to 1.0 space, from a 0.6 area, both high sec i think ull agree?
Autopilot engaged..Warp drive active.. i pick up my magazine, have a quick flick through. suddenly i hear the sound of the threats window flashing, i think ohh must be some of them crappy pirates in atrons or summit, but as i look up from my magazine OMG, SOME ... M0o PERSON IS IN A BATTLESHIP PODDING EVERYONE THAT PASSES. Its vito GF U BASTARD, he podded me 2 times in a row and he gains nothing from it, an empty vexor destroyed and an exequror with 4 miner 1s in it.
I seriously dont think i can be bothered with eve now, losing THREE CRUISERS in a day or so. Any1 else had similar things happen to them? Post stories here plz, i might get some comfort knowing im not the only 1 Sad

Well Jonboy,

I'm sorry to hear you lost your stuff there, rotten luck.

However, you do tend to make your own luck in this game and if you go drifting around 0.0 space (and the gateway systems close to Empire Space are where you get problems) you should make sure you know how to run blockades, and as lots of pirates are always saying on these forums, there are some pretty good ways to do it and their blockades only catch the slow or daft...

As has been pointed out to you - reading a magazine was dumb. Let me make it a little more plain for you though - when you're paying no attention to the game and something bad happens do not come here whining about "griefers" and expecting sympathy

What happened was your own fault. Deal with it.

Edits for typos.

No they are not! Anyone can podkill anyone else anywhere in Eve. Staying alive afterwards may be a challenge though.

I have lost 3 ships to PC pirates and in each and every case it was my fault. First time I was too clueless and j0rt got me, second time I deliberately didn't warp as I wanted to see how my shield setup worked (it did quite well against a BS) and the third time was a case of dozing off/going to the toilet (still not sure which).

It was your fault. Stop trying to blame other people. Oh and stop with the "griefer" nonsense as well - you're just making yourself look dumber Rolling Eyes

He may have been doing it for any number of reasons. I suggest you try reading the forums and you could also try reading the back of the box you bought Rolling Eyes This is a PvP game - you can kill anyone you want for whatever reason suits you.

That is one of the things that is supposed to make the game exciting. However you and people like you (who are unwilling to accept it probably was their fault that they lost their ship and are completely unable to accept that there are players many many levels above you who you should avoid) seem determined to whine so much that the game turns into a space-based version of SimCity where you can turn all the bad things off!

Dear God - the only way Empire space could get safer is if anyone with a negative sec rating "auto-destructed" when they entered it Rolling Eyes

At this point I give up - I doubt you'll ever understand.

I lost 5 (count them!) Thorax cruisers to CTDs. Did I whine on here? No. Did I even bother petitioning? No as I know it'd do no good. That was about 10 days-2 weeks ago. 5 cruisers in one week. Total loss with equipment - maybe 40 mill.

Now if you think you're playing a game where mummy and daddy are going to come and make things all better then you are playing the wrong game! Toontown may be more to your liking (and I'm not being funny).

This game is hard. It is meant to be hard. You and your ilk will try to get it nerfed down to the level that a 6 year old child could play it without getting upset. When you do I hope you enjoy playing a graphically enhanced version of Earth and Beyond Rolling Eyes

Sometimes you just get f00ked over m8, way of the world.

I've only had two run-ins with pirates. First time I paid up and went on my way, second time (right now actually), I warped to a gate with Vito GF camping it, locked and jammed him, he ran, I ran.

Sure he wasn't very nice in the convo, but hey, he's a pirate. I'm still not dead. Yet. Gotta get out of this system still. Don't think he was too pleased at me in my blackbird making him run, but it's all part of the game, and if he does catch me and kick my ass then so be it, he's playing a role in the game.

I meant hard in terms of losing ships, consequences of actions, etc etc. Obviously any monkey can mine their way into any ship with enough patience.

But I might add that this game is really too easy, NPC Pirates should be a real threat too.

jOnbOy!!!.

U have a friend here.

I looked at your post and thought, thats a shame, and how unlucky you were to be killed by pirates in a 0.6 sec system. I realised that you were just looking to tell us about your unfortunate turn of events.

The problem about posting here is that these people dont give a **** about your misfortune. and only want to flame your post.

Just look at the posts which have had to be edited by the "eve team", that should give you a good indication about the maturity and inteligence of alot of the players. (i.e tank didnt even get a word printed)

People, if you dont like what someone has writen, try and respond with a little comapassion and respect.

IMO, eve is becoming a very dangerous place (more pirates). anyone just starting this game is in for a very tough time, and it will be a steep learning curve.

And id just like to add, i was fired upon in a 0.5 system, it took 3 seconds for 2 concord battleships to turn up, i always thought that 0.6 sec sytems were pretty safe also.

The problem with the game is it can be very unfair at times, outwith your control. oh for example, i got a security hit for defending myself against that person in the 0.5 whom fired 8 shots on me before i even locked him, and i was just "defending" myself.

There are too many pirates and wannabe pirates in EVE and not enough good guys.

If people feel strongly about griefing and the current pirate powers in EVE, they should round up like minded individuals into some sort of anti-pirate alliance.

Other than that, it's best not to go 0.0 space alone, if you do there is a high possibility you will get killed. And also don't go afk while your ship is flying in any system.

Autopilot kills time. Ignorance kills players.

like i say, deff more pirates around lately, the reason being is (imo) that quite alot of people are getting bored.

Lets be honest, if you want some pvp action, how do you about it????.

Do you go after pirates? good luck if you do, as most pirates are in battleships, and if they are in cruisers, they dont usually travel alone.

Or do you just travel to a 0.0 system and start attacking people?.

I know 0.0 are unsafe, but can you imagine it if everyone attacked everyone??. it could be fun!! but these areas would become major no go areas for many people.

Let me point something out to YOU again. I WAS IN 0.6 SEC SPACE. I shouldnt have to be looking out for player pirates, players are supposed to be safe in empire space.

You were LAX and Ignorant when it came to Scouting therefore its Your Fault Only
Bet you werent even scanning Local before you warped to the next gate were you?
I Always warp to a gate shut auto off them manually jump and Emmediately do a Local scan of all parties whether its .5 .6 or even .7 Space
Its only good Sense

I intially intended to be sympathetic but the milk of human kindness curdles in my heart when people steadfastly refuse to take responsibility for their own actions. Yes, you were unlucky to lose that many ships in quick succession however (I'm going to sound like a stuck record) please note that high sec Empire space does not (nor should it) guarantee that either your ship or pod will be recycled. It is safer, much, much safer than low sec non-Empire space but not completely safe. The last patch should make Empire space as safe as it will likely to be, given that system navies are much more 'muscular'.

Also, you musn't get out much if you think that the people on the forum are the worst sort that you've encountered in your life. Either that or you're exceedingly lucky.

This game isnt hard, any1 can be good at it, all u have to do is sit in a belt and mine all day till u get enough money for a good ship.


By your own admission, you must be pretty ****-poor at it after losing so many ships in succession :P Oh pur-leeeese! Spare me the teenage tantrum act. A good ship does not a good PvP player make - you need the rare (phat) modules first :P In all seriousness, it's all about skills, modules and ship configuration and more importantly, knowing how to utilize them to maximum effect.

Also, how you define "good"? Good at what, precisely? PvP? Bisot mining? As explained above, a 'good' ship does not necessarily make someone a good PvP player.

Quote:
The ppl that are best at this game play it the most, its that simple.


Now you're talking complete and utter rubbish. The people that are the best at PvP are the best because they usually have a comparative advantage over their prey - whether that be through skills, modules, ship configuration, hunting in packs. Yes, the people bestat PvP do play the most at PvP, rather than undertaking any other activity i.e when they play, they refine their tactics, critically examine their ship configuration to perfect a load-out for a specific goal i.e. to recycle your ship in the least amount of time, with the least amount of risk to themselves. Or they could just be opportunists waiting to take advantage of easy prey. It's a *****, ain't it?

Besides, I baffled by how one can 'win' in an open-ended MMOG.I personally 'win' by setting myself accomplishments to shoot for, or by exploring another facet of the game and by not blaming everyone but myself when something unfortunate occurs.

EVE is about risk management: there are a number of tools and methods allowing you to assess risk of a course of action. Certain things you may do (or not do, as the case may be) influences risk. AFK on auto-pilot is a sure-fire method to significantly increase the level of risk. If you cannot be bothered to take an interest in the game whilst you play, then you shouldn't really cry when you are the victim of your own making.

I frequently AFK auto through semi-low Empire space (like I've got popcorn to microwave, dig?) and I accept full responsibility for the consquences of my decision. I suggest you do the same.

Thallia,

I disagree. Not with your assessment regarding NPC's but with your perspective. For my money, EVE is not PvE [player vs environment] in the traditional MMOG sense because the other players are your competitors - whether in the market place, mining or at hard-point. There are too many people who still possess a PvE mindset ('whack-a-mole', grind then level) without acknowledging that player dynamism is (and will be) the fundamental factor within EVE.

There are embroynic examples of dynamism existing within the game e.g. the Fountain, Stain and Venal alliances all laying claim to territory and reinforcing their 'claim' by hard-point. When more content is added to allow physical structures to make such territorial claims more 'tangible', by the way of player constructions i.e. space stations, defensive and offensive structures etc, such dynamism will be made manifest.

I just find it lame that anybody can 24/24 7/7 handle any spawn points.

If there are NPC fighters, their force should become stronger as they get killed, ie. more spawn or stronger ships.

Or remove them all.

Same goes with NPC traders, they are too flat, always the same offer/demand after the daily downtime.

Remove all NPC intercation or do it well, improving/changing over time.

Not so! In my newly acquired Omen, I imagine I would have trouble 40-50k pirates :P Naaa .. just rib-tickling, as I understand your argument.

Just my opinion - all conjecture - that spawns are purely a device to allow distribution of looted items, bounty and guarding some of the rarer ores. I don't believe spawns were ever intended to act as content in the traditional MMOG sense.

Hopefully, CCP may introduce stronger NPC's guarding particular regions of space i.e. around NPC strongholds - may see the appearance of battleships, etc?

They serve a purpose at the moment and not everyone has achieved your level where they can take 40-50k pirates with ease. Again, it's a matter of perspective: when CCP introduce more player content to allow much greater levels of dynamism and interaction within the game, then it will be other players/corporations that will be the challenge - not spawns per se.

Quote:

Hopefully, this will happen in the next coming weeks/months? Have to keep an eye on the Dev corner to see what is being planned. I do agree that perhaps we need to remove the stablizers from the market and maybe think about removing NPC prices or significantly reducing the demand each downtime.

With regard to NPC interaction, other MMOG's don't fare much better AFAIK i.e. standard kill x mob, y appears. What I would like to see is what is being planned in Horizons where settlements built on the frontier, far from civilized areas are under almost constant threat of attack. Until as such time, these settlements can establish a significant presence. Hopefully this will happen when CCP introduce player stations and structures.

Spawns are there as 'filler' until such time when players/corporations are dynamics within EVE.

With regard to NPC interaction, other MMOG's don't fare much better AFAIK i.e. standard kill x mob, y appears. What I would like to see is what is being planned in Horizons where settlements built on the frontier, far from civilized areas are under almost constant threat of attack. Until as such time, these settlements can establish a significant presence. Hopefully this will happen when CCP introduce player stations and structures.

Spawns are there as 'filler' until such time when players/corporations are dynamics within EVE.

Thank you for the compliment and flattery! I wouldn't fret about any mistakes that you might have made - given that a high proportion of posts on the 'net made by native English speakers are characterised by appalling spelling and grammatical solipsisms. It is a bug-bear of mine, that (still) in a predominately textual medium, people continually fail to communicate properly.

Note: digression alert

Have you ever used IRC? Or any other form of talker? Talker!? It's a contradiction in terms - every 'sentence' is punctuated by inane TLA's [three letter acronyms], such as the ever popular 'A/S/L?'. In 'net terms, this constitutes foreplay :P

This is wildly off-topic, so I'll STFU now :P

I'm still down with the kids.

j0nb0y,

After re-reading your initial post, I'm holding out a conciliatory olive branch and giving you the benefit of the doubt. Thus, accept my apology for the belligerent tone of my reply, but not the content (which I firmly support).

Quick rule of thumb: if you cannot afford insurance then you cannot afford to be without it and risk losing your ship. Period. The inference from your post, "a few million in the bank" suggests otherwise. A little silly of you, eh? Given the recent spate of CTD's, you would be throwing caution to the wind by not purchasing insurance.

You do make your own luck in EVE (a salient point made earlier by another poster), and purchasing a Cruiser that you could ill afford to lose in low sec space where M00 pirates operate is exceedingly foolish. You have to pay attention to the meta-game i.e. the regions that are known to be inhabited by pirates, especially if you travel through low sec space.

To lose one ship can be considered accidental, twice coincidental but three times (twice! damnit! to the same player! :P is careless :P Absolutely priceless. How terribly gauche of me to display such schadenfreude!

Your post indicates your highly emotional state of mind so perhaps we were a little hard on you. Unfortunately, life can be very, very hard in EVE and you simply have to use all the tools available to keep on your toes - even in Empire space. However, I would be interested to know what region of space you're in because you did kinda get it in the shorts, so to speak.

Hopefully, you haven't quit EVE in total disgust and the experience has strengthened your resolve not to be caught out so easily. Heck, if you need a hand then give me a shout ingame. We can both be podded together :P I'm all heart, me.

Warning: a relative newbie (that's me, folks) in a Cruiser is akin to the blind leading the blind!

to the experienced people in big ships with big guns and big rockets and missiles ,if player pirates and privateers, some who have been playing 4 ,3 yrs are so good why do they hang in in nooby space with thier over sized phalic symbols and gang bang noobies who are in ships that dont have a chance off defending themselves, i will tell you why becuase if they go out to 0.0 space where they are evenly matched they will get thier arses kicked,in the real world an example is microsoft{billy gates}couldnt tye his own shoe laces but can steel other peoples property legaly cuase he has bigger guns,this part off the game is the only let down as i would say a lot off people would feel why waste my money if im gonna get banged only becuase iv`e started playing now instead off 2 or 3 yrs afo very unfair off ccp to allow pirates and privateers to attack noobies in .04 t0 1.0 sectors must be a ,lot off noobies quit thier accounts becuase of these skillless bastards

PS i dont care it ****es me off but i can wait till i grow up and get me an ERIS then it will be payback time in empire space specially when i dont go out off my way to attack these low life *****s it will happen though and when it does they will pay as i will destroy thier base as well

I would just say take nothing for granted, including help from the police.
I was podded the other day, i was in a shuttle going to pick up a ship and I had to go through 0.3 space, unfortunatly my PC decided to reboot on me just as i hit 'jump' into 0.3, when I got back on I was in the body of my clone. Ok so it wasn't my fault really, i could even have an argument to moan about it but whats the point? when I planned my trip to get the ship I knew the risks that I was taking just going into that space so I shrugged and moved on.
Fact is nothing is certain in this game and I think the sooner folk realise that the better, for them that is.
I would never pod anyone unless I had a real issue with them but thats just me.
Dont leave EVE though m8, just learn from it.

considering im assuming you were around the caldari regions, aunenen etc are vicious places. and to be frank. if you lost your thorax and didnt have it insured. your a plank to the 3rd degree

what you should have done is had platinum insurance on it, when it died you get alomst the amount to uy a new one back. if not you get a vexor and platinum insure that, then you go rat for a bit or w/e for a coup[le mill, self dstruct the vexor and buy a new thorax. its NOT rocket science.

in cases i necro some threads, its usually cause of browsing the old posts, and then finding something i just have to add something. Forgetting i was browsing old threads.

And beeing very drunk at that moment ,)

I dont consider necroing such a bad thing. Using old threads to continue conversation.

On this forum the ultimatum "use the search tool, tool!" is not so common(maybe because the search is crappy..). but combining "search, you idiot" and "dont necro" doesen't work imho.

just ranting :P

Short look on my start:

6th day i played this game some friends(started this game at the same time i did, to be exact 3 total noobs) thought the rats are to easy in highs sec and dont give enough isk. so we went to a 0.4 or 0.3 system i think to kill soem npcs in the belts. after some time one of us got killed by an experienced player. the guy who died talked to him and he was so kind to give him some isks, but not without mentioning to us that this is eve. so when you are pretty noob ( like myself ) it is a lesson to learn and i am happy i learned it early enough.

it looks odd that you got killed within highsec, cause some of my friends died in a mission while they tested the target painter (he logged it on one of us accidently) i know concord is quite fast.

as beeing a noob myself ( in eve, and in eve-pvp for shure ) i do learn everyday. i am sick of carebearing around so far, but i need some money in my wallet and some standart skills to be usefull in pvp battles.

as in real life you learn the most from your own mistakes.
it might hurt first but it will make you better and stronger afterwards.
