What is whole miner/freighter ganking business you think? Drops, sure but it also strucks fear into weaker minded pilots and disrupts establishment's order of things which in fact is a main goal of terrorism.

Cannibal Kane.

Nuff said.

This is more along the lines of what I mean. I agree, I can see why miner ganking is one form of Eve terrorism, but I'm sure with enough planning and thought, the idea can be greatly expanded on

Meh, I don't think making war official enough for military forces to not get involved is something terrorists do :)

Pretty sure freighter pilots have called us terrorists when we do Burn Jita.

Terrorist in EVE. But a sad man sitting behind his computer in reality. Talk about terrorism in EVE.

Never run afoul of him, I take it?

Let me predicate this by saying that I fear no man in EVE Online. But Cannibal Kane is no man, he is a fiend wearing a human face, presumably torn whole from one of his victims.

He is fear incarnate. And if it weren't for seemingly being heavily occupied with real life and thus not active in EVE, he'd be even worse than that.

But that aside, he calls himself a terrorist, which was the OP's question in the first place.

That's true, I never had the pleasure, probably because I don't cross hisec borders much. And it's hard to be a terrorist in a ghetto where losing sh!t is basically a reason to undock :)

Yes, I realize I am standing in front of a mirror saying: Cannibal Kane, Cannibal Kane, Canni...

Cannibal Kane.

I thought it was already well established fact we all are immortal. And immoral.

That guy was awesome, true shame he sold his char.
EDIT: Wait, Kane did sell his char, right? I remember reading some post of him about that in (I think) GD...

Is there such a thing in Eve?

I was curious as I have seen pirates, war Corps, industrialists, bounty hunters etc, but nobody labeling themselves as terrorists. Even on the Eve personality test, the closest thing to a terrorist I could see was a "freedom fighter".

If there is no such thing as a terrorist in Eve, I may have to look further into the subject

Nope...

Wanted to start over but after I realized that I would need to train skills like heavy combat drones to lvl5 again I decided no.

Low security space pirates are KOS in high security space. This might qualify.

As Schmata said, people preying on nullsec renters are the closest you can get to terrorists in EVE.

1) they often do more damage with fear than with actual ganks

2) I guess some of them may have what you could call a 'political agenda' - for example to convince renters that renting is not worth it and/or that their landlords screwed them; possibly to point them towards the other landlords

There shouldn't be anything in a game that causes terror. So I'd say no.

One man's Freedom Fighter is another man's terrorist

What we need is space terrorism. Asymmetrical warfare. I should be able to get ten reasonably well-skilled pilots and go put a dent in CFC's jump bridge network, or **** up N3's moon goo production, or somehow cost the power blocs money and power the same way small guerrilla groups can in the real world. There is no game mechanic to support a true insurgency. Some of the pieces are present, but it's not like I can assassinate a titan pilot or fly a cargo hauler loaded with explosives straight into a control tower.

Here was an interesting suggestion though does not address how a null corp wouldn't use the same tactics. I think concept of terrorism exists where one side has stricter ethical standards of warfare than the other. In EVE I'm not sure that's possible.

I still want self destruct to inflict AOE damage.

AFK cloakies are the terrorist of EVE.

The New Order or w/e it's called is the right activity - but much like RL terrorists, they would argue they are 'idealists'.

The term terrorism totally depends on who you are asking. The tactic is used constantly in legitimate warfare in hisec, you just don't see people calling it such because in EvE there are no 'rules' - thus, terrorism (breaking the rules of honorable engagement) is not possible since said rules don't actually exist.

Food for Thought.

Define "terrorist."

No, Cane is the USA, wardeccing everything left, right and center for good justice L'Or+¬al shampoo and conditioner.

Your loyal Inquisitors of HTFU consider themselves to be followers of the golden path.

Violence with political motivations ... hmm.

I am calling Malcanis' law on this suggestion.
If CCP gave us the tools, just imagine how much fun the CFC for example would have in the next "Burn Jita" with thousands of bomb trucks...

(on second thought, that would indeed be all kinds of awesome )

Mayhem would abound if CCP let us do it outside of the tutorials, and it would be glorious

Would it be considered terrorism if for some reason you attacked some alliance SOV for :reasons: but never taking it? Like just trashing all the structures and leaving the system empty because your cause is just to cause trouble to your "enemy"?
