EvE is not a game where you're safe everywhere. In fact, you're never EVER(Read, NEVER EVER) completely safe.
Sure you are. In high sec space.
Empire is great. Try it sometime. No hurries, no worries. No stress, no gate campers and very few leet d00ds. Just lots of fun.
Or better yet, don't try it. You play in your PvP way and I'll play in my non-PvP way.
Our paths will never cross, and we'll both be happy.
Well thats the problem isnt it, the elite cPvP types wont be happy untill you are forced to go out to them so that they can have fun too.
Its been in thread after thread, they keep asking CCP to force people to move out of highsec empire not so that the empire players can have more fun but so that the pirates in lowsec can have more targets.
The neverending whining from the carebear pirates is earshattering at times.
There is however somthing the OP is right about, very few places in eve are 100% safe, the only place I can think of at the moment is docked in an NPC station (wherever that station may be)... well for now anyways, as far back as I can remember I can remember people wanting to be able to force people to undock or "hack" into hangars and/or wallets... but as CCP has resisted this thus far I very much doubt it will be implemented.
To me a very worrying trend is this brewing conflict between the 4 major empire factions, the caldari-ammar axis and minmatar-gallente alliance conflict heating seems to sugest that CCP is considering moving the game towards a realm vs realm conflict.
In my opinion such a move would be a big mistake, one of the allures of EvE is its uniqueness, it has a unique skill solution, it has a uniquely harsh death penalty so on and so forth. In the same way EvE has had a very rare cPvP policy that is at the same time extremely lenient and restricted.
The lenient part is that you can engage anyone in cPvP anywhere in space but the concequences for doing so in 0.5 and above are very grave wich meens combat there outside of wars are very rare.
If the game is turned into realm vs realm it will only support ganking as all other forms of cPvP exists in abundence outside of highsec empire and ganking will only ever, like it only ever has, drive people away and if there are no places to retreat to people not interested in getting shot down by "PWNING" PK players will simply leave the game.
Lets just hope EvE will not be turned into just another dull realm vs realm PvP game, that type of game was the spanking new concept of 2004.
And to you pirates hanging in lowsec hoping to see me in your sights (yes I do fly quite a bit in lowsec) start asking not for CCP to force people out into lowsec but to make it possible for them to fight you over control over it, you want cPvP and most of you claim to be good at it, why not let us non pirates have the upper hand in fights, that way you can show us just how elite you really are.
