Yeah sure. Outside nullsec (from your original response), lowsec has plenty of fighting going on.

I dunno about that. The only place I ever see it is around Hek. Go out toward GW in Metro and there's a whole lot of empty low sec.

Now if you would be so kind as to actually address the topic, I would be interested in what you have to say.

Even your old hunting area of HED-GP, in terms of nullsec, has masses of fighting going on because Hero Coalition are there. They are constantly fighting and Brave Newbies will take on anyone, no matter whether they will win or lose..

Anyway, you are right. I roamed HED allot and here is what we got. We rammed our ships into the camp on the HED gate whenever it was there. It went two ways, one we got completely creamed by a blob (especially on the weekends) and two we cleared the gate only to be creamed by the response blob.

To avoid the response blob we would roam deeper into Catch as far as we could go in every direction, encountering nothing until we reached a local or two filled with ratters who remained docked. After which, we then contended with the response blob.

Sure, there were fights to be had there but they are following the same pattern. We just flew around until that gigantic blob from hell found us, and the rest of the time we practiced avoiding them in order to get back to high sec.

So if there are now "brave noobs" who will fight anyone whether they win or lose down there, they were not there when I was playing. So excuse me if I do not just take your word for it. But I will go down there and see for myself this weekend.

1, Sisi? Really?

2. Excuse me while I leave this here: http://onegoodmove.org/fallacy/hasty.htm

Here is your cure:

1. Create a gank alt

2. Explode ships no matter if they want to fight or not

3. Have fun and even make some ISK while doing so

Scipio... you don't get the point.

In your last reply you wrote that you don't even think about lowsec.

So is it safe to assume that you don't know because you don't think about it often and don't fly in lowsec much?

Yes really.

Because I have not played for over a year, there are new mods and ships I know nothing about, i am kind of sorta coming back (but can't get into it) and wish for a quick fix in an attempt to try and restore what I once loved about the game. Your link is also meaningless because at least two people in this thread have commented on my former null sec PVP habits. So I am not simply "sampling a tiny sisi cross section" as you are suggesting. The single referenced event on SISI simply reflects a much larger cross-section spanning years of gameplay on tranq.


I don't suppose you have anything relevant to contribute Mr Leet PVP forum person who would never lower themselves to test server ship destruction?

Look, I GET that you feel that logging into Sisi and finding someone willing to talk smack but not fight is PROOF that "Eve is still dying".

I don't think that;s quite what he's saying. It's more that he's griping about how risk averse some PvP has become, and even in a situation where there was no risk at all, some chickened out and stayed docked anyway.

Which is a legitimate gripe and it';s not terribly unique. There's a reason, after all, people ***** about docking games and station hugging. Let alone my personal favorite, the afk cloaker.

No, I said I don't think about Faction War.

[quote=Scipio Artelius]Again, trolling requires reading comprehension. I fly in low sec quite a bit. I see FW, not so much. And, no, this is my main. I stopped active PvP a while back because it got boring camping endless stations and gates, dealing with alliance mates that were absolutely untrustworthy and waiting for the next blob to roll around.

So yeah, I just wander around eve, retired. But I do have eyes, and make a complete transit of eve about once every three months, much to the irritation of a wide range of bubble ranchers.

I grant not undocking in the face of overwhelming firepower is sensible. But I've seen a lot of people drip what they are doing and run at even the slightest hint of a possible challenge and stay gone until dead certain they had overwhelming superiority themselves or the threat left.

*shrug* AFK cloakers only bother farmers, not pvpers.

There are many good ways to find fights on Eve. Trolling local on Sisi is .... probably not in the top 10. Plus, did anyone else notice that this thread is a stealth brag? "BEHOLD! Two guys in local on Sisi FEARED ME! I must run to the forums and start a thread IMMEDIATELY!"
