To throw in some immediate disclaimers for the "HTFU" parrots - I have no issue with hi-sec station gaming or roaming by WT's except in the case of militia stations which should by definition deny docking rights to the enemy. The fact that people can dock a large and diverse fleet in the opposing militia's stations and use it as a base of operations is patently illogical.
Furthermore, this borderline exploit seriously undermines any notion of risk vs. reward which I've been told is a cornerstone of the EVE universe. Baiting the enemy to aggress and then being able to respond with enough force to destroy ships with 50-100k ehp inside 60 seconds with the added ability to hold fire and hide in station until they once again feel safe to recommence farming kills on pods and t1 frigs - this task requires an outsized and disproportionate commitment of time and effort to counter and unless you achieve complete surprise the bad guys can just hide in YOUR OWN militia station indefinitely. Ontop of this they can use a network of CONCORD protected neutral alts to gather intel and set up safes/tacticals without exposing those to any risk short of a hastily assembled suicide gank.
Risk free kill farming should not be subsidized in EVE. Fix this, make these guys have to risk their shinies to get kills. Militia stations need to be off limits to pilots of the opposing empires.
If they are long range snipers, use arazu with faction long point, and targeting range damps and enjoy.
If the guy is within docking range, get a bait fit, throw some scramblers and a tank, get him to aggress, get your guys to undock or warp in from preferably a short range and either kill him or make him log off.
Epilogue: Be proactive. Complaining about it won't do it, those guys are potentially easy kills if people use their brain and have some cool bros to coordinate a counter tactic with...
About the able to dock in high sec but not low sec, you guys have a point. |
