As clearly stated in the CSM log they will make sure there are other ways to go through blockades. Those will not be foolproof but for gods sake you should not be able to go alone with a industrial ship through a blockade with several battleship. If you want to go trading in 0.0 space then get some escorts!! 0.0 is NOT, I repeat NOT, supposed to be safe. ------------------ NoctoZ Black Reign Curse Alliance |

Well do you really think you should be able to just take your inys and miningships and go out into 0.0 space? I think this is a big misinterpretation of how the EVE world is supposed to be. What you say about profit is perfectly true but what you have to do then is to stay longer and mine more or make a better deal with the mercenaries or maybe even pay the pirates the toll they require. There are ample oppportunities. Also it's fully possible to run a blockade with a well setup indy ship. It's not 100% safe but as said before, 0.0 travel is not supposed to be that. If you want no pirates and no pvp then stay in empire space. ------------------ NoctoZ Black Reign Curse Alliance |

"""Well do you really think you should be able to just take your inys and miningships and go out into 0.0 space? I think this is a big misinterpretation of how the EVE world is supposed to be.""
Why are there asteroid belts in these sectors if they weren't meant to be mined? Now you're confusing me."
These asteorid belts are meanth for people who can protect themselves. You are supposed to have good escort here to mine be safe. I know many corporations put a huge effort into miningoperations out in this dangerous space. This is a classic risk and reward situation.
"""What you say about profit is perfectly true but what you have to do then is to stay longer and mine more or make a better deal with the mercenaries or maybe even pay the pirates the toll they require. There are ample oppportunities.""
Ok you know as well as I that "pirates" are the rarest breed in eve and griefer/PK'rs is what we are talking here. I pay you and you destroy me anyway. "
We will require you to pay a toll depending on what you area carrying but IF you pay we will not destroy you. If we did pod people anyway nobody whould pay and then we whoudl never get easy money. I don't find it that entertaining to kill defenceless industrials.
"""Also it's fully possible to run a blockade with a well setup indy ship. It's not 100% safe but as said before, 0.0 travel is not supposed to be that.""
Actually no it won't be possible and depending on what X is that TomB elluded to could be impossible for ANY loadout."
Yes it's possible. I have spent MANY hours hunting people so believe me it IS possible. You just can't expect it to be as easy as wapring in on top of the gate.
"""If you want no pirates and no pvp then stay in empire space.""
You got to this conclusion how?
Actually I PvP quite a bit.
I am against travel nerfs and making blockades impossible to get through or around. I am also against them throwing away all the work to make the bookmarks I have.
Travel is part of my business I have invested HEAVY hours into streamlining it a bit. Now through all that hard work they are gonna say bang your like everyone else now deal with it."
Well you can still bookmark strategic possitions just outside the border. That will increase your chances a lot.
"There are other ways to increase the danger of 0.0 and if they wanted to have BMs not work all the time then jump me into a random spot everytime. Solved."
No there really isn't any good way to make it dangerous with the current BM warping and no, warping to a random spot is nto a very good sollution. ------------------ NoctoZ Black Reign Curse Alliance |

Please try to understand that BMs are not a pirate only issue. It is a issue for every kind of combat. I some ways it helps pirates as the current system makes it virtually impossible to catch someone. ------------------ NoctoZ Black Reign Curse Alliance |

"Now by what stretch of the imagination you justify call sitting at a gate pod killing people Pirating, or rampaging through high sec space pod killing people pirating. Pirating by the very definition means attacking a ship for the goods itÆs carrying,"
Camping a gate is indeed pirating. We do not sit there to pod kill people, we sit there to get the goods people might carry and to get money for passage. This is exactly what old time pirates did except most of eves pirates are honorable enough to ask for a toll while most pirates in the real world simply sunk the ship they faced after they had looted it. And how many pirates go through empire space ruthlessly killing people?
"Ok do you have the concept, to be a pirate you would have to only hit convoys to rob them of the goods they carry. See how simple of a concept this is. Now letÆs go one step farther. On the box it says you can be a pirate. That 1, now the game has NPC convoys carrying goods. ThatÆs also 1. Now add 1+1 and you get 2. Can you not see this, pirating as described on the box referred to hitting the NPC convoys for the goods they carry. DUHà this is what 98% of the players understand."
NO, NO and NO again. This is NOT, I repeat NOT, what was intended. Please get your facts straight before posting such crap on the boards. Maybe ask your dad how to find the info eh? I dislike personal attacks of the kind you made wholeheartedly and that is the only reason for writing that last sentence. I don't know why I even bother to write this post. You people just make me frustrated.
