Wait, you mean this is a video game where the weak beat the hell out of unaware(newer players, casuals).

20+ pages of bickering over hisec suicide ganking seems foolish considering that CCP Falcon has already issued a statement pretty well sharing CCP's views on the matter.

TL;DR version: hisec isn't safe and if you want to protect your stuff, bring guns.

FALCON PUNCH!

Your delusional understanding of this game is astounding.

[quote=CCP]
The essential core concept of EVE Online is that it is full time PvP in a sandbox
environment. As has been mentioned in previous sections [i][b][u]any player can
engage another player at any time in any place.

That quote came from the FAQ, I didn't make any of that up, it was a direct quote from a publicly available document. If you don't like how CCP designed their game then GTFO.

The only reality is that which CCP documents. You have been presented with multiple sources explaining what that reality is.

Anything else is perception. My perception matches that which is documented, yours does not.

How does your argument hold any relevance what so ever?

any player can
engage another player at any time in any place

Again, those are not my words, they are a direct quote from a document CCP produced.
You and I both know they were not referring to people who are docked.
Strawman FTW.

Now that we have determined you won your petty argument via strawman, would you like to address the relevant parts of my reply to your whining?

Players are 100% safe from having their ship destroyed by another player while docked, yes. .

This is not "sensible" because it is not true.

1. Folks below -5.0 sec status are pretty much denied all in-space activity in hisec except suicide ganking. They can't really stay in space long enough to do anything else without getting shot at.

2. Since they can't safely fly gank ships between systems, their activities are generally limited to trade hubs, or to systems where they can have alts/friends resupply them.

3. They will always, 100% of the time lose their ship when they suicide gank. That's an ISK penalty.

4. They will never, ever, get an insurance payout on their ship when they suicide gank. That's also an ISK penalty.

5. Comparing risk vs. reward from a purely ISK-based standpoint, any potential financial gains from a suicide gank are left entirely to chance. If the entirety of a valuable cargo is destroyed with the ship, there is no gain for the suicide ganker. If someone else scoops the loot before the suicide ganker's friend/alt can, there is also no gain for the suicide ganker.

I see some fixed risk and some severe limitations on gameplay, along with highly variable reward controlled by multiple factors that are beyond the suicide ganker's control.

What's the problem again?

Not as comical as you attempting to label everyone who agrees with your faulty logic as "sensible", ignoring all the well thought out responses that explain how you are wrong,.

Not to toot my own horn, but here's one.
