Anything CODE says is Role Play, and shouldn't be taken seriously.
So the answer is very simple, and you can absolutely continue solo play. You are not 'fully safe' anywhere, but you can take precautions to ensure that such a thing won't happen so often (if at all).
So, add the alliance "CODE." as a contact, and set them to -10.0. When they appear in Local, they'll have a red mark on their portrait, and you'll be able to see it, so you'll know what they're going to do. Dock up preemptively.
But the biggest thing you can do is don't be fully AFK. Check your D-Scan every now and then, and browse Local when you feel like it for players with Negative Security Status (positive Security Status players can still gank you, but it's less likely. You always lose Security Status with Highsec ganks).
Stay aligned (facing) [insert celestial object here] so you can warp out quickly when you see someone on grid.
Getting a Procurer or a Skiff is also a good idea. Do you need a new Barge? |

So, no, it is a sandbox game, you are able to do whatever you want, it is not illegal to mine in any part of New Eden. People can of course kill you... Anywhere. So it's up to you to be prepared in advance, and predict the situation ahead.
You can 'be safe,' but don't think it is a given right. |

I mean, ive had this account for a few years, but ive only ever played for like 3 months. After they killed my ship, I have nothing.... I have like an ibis 10 jumps away but thats it... I had a mackinaw.... OK, well, that's probably a bit expensive for me to replace for you. I can't say that I don't feel sorry for you, but EVE provides the tools to PVP anywhere, with whoever, whether they like it or not.
Treat it as a learning experience, because you can't not make mistakes. Move onwards, I guess.
Tech I Mining Barge is fine, right? I don't... Really... Want to replace a Mackinaw. |

(according to the new order on some mining bumping site). Plz give me honest answers on how i should continue my solo mining career. Am i really not safe mining anywhere? The biggest problem with your statement is "how i should continue my solo mining career." Eve is not a solo game. It's a highly social MMO. With that being said, you are always in danger at anything you do in Eve. I suggest you make some friends, pay attention to local and who lands on grid with you..and use d-scan. If you don't know what these things are or how to use them, that's exactly why Eve isn't a solo game. You need some friendly guidance and advice..but be careful, there are those who give bad advice to new players (assuming you are new). I truly believe that the people who give bad advice are also those that would suggest that you cannot play the game solo.
However. You seem to have misinterpreted what he meant. When he says 'solo mining career' he means to mine by himself, and not in a mining fleet or with player corp mates.
He has supposedly played for a time-span of under 4 months, so I would assume that he thinks that a player corp is safer/more profitable/better in every other way. A long time ago I used to think the same thing.
Friends are fine. Game mechanics are fine. Third-party tools are fine too. You can play the game in any which way and you'll still succeed no less. |

I mean, come on, even if he wasn't subscribed the entire time... I, personally, could not care less who I think I am helping. For if someone asks for help, and just might actually need it, then he has it, and not just a whole forum screaming: BAIT!
Words are little to no effort, and 50 million is nothing. It's still more enjoyable than reading all the drunk New Year's threads. |

Getting a Procurer or a Skiff is also a good idea. Do you need a new Barge? It never has mattered what way you are facing as your time to warp is dependant on how long it takes you to get to warp speed and the direction your ship is facing has no impact on that. It will take the same amount of time if you are facing where you are warping or if you are facing the other way. Is that so? Well I never. I've always assumed your ship gains velocity towards the direction you are aligning when you are facing that direction. I've being totally misinterpreting aligning mechanics.
Well, that makes my life ALOT easier. I guess now I've got to delete my 200+ Stargate directional bookmarks. But heck, no matter.
Thank you greatly, kind sir. |

It will take the same amount of time if you are facing where you are warping or if you are facing the other way. This isn't true at all. Zetaomega333 you should potentially spend more time learning eve and less teaching it at this stage. Being aligned means you are already moving at or above warp speed in the direction of your warp destination. If you are stationary you will take the same time to reach minimum warp speed regardless which way you were originally facing. That said if you are stationary then you are not aligned (see above). If your ship is moving but not in the direction of your required warp alignment this can either mildly or very seriously effect the time it takes you to actually enter warp. You literally repeated what he had just said.
I had thought direction affected align time.
In my first post I had meant 'stay aligned' as in stay facing the direction of warp-out. Mining while at warp-out speed is rather daft, as you'd overshoot the Asteroids you are mining rather quickly.
I appreciate Zetaomega333 telling me this.

Mining while at warp-out speed is rather daft, as you'd overshoot the Asteroids you are mining rather quickly. 1. You used the word "Aligned" incorrectly so can't really call me out on this. 2. If mining while Actually Aligned seems daft to you, you aren't smart enough to make your own safe's for when you mine. These safes will allow you to be aligned for warp 98% of the time you're mining, you just need one each end of your usual mining systems. I didn't repeat what he said, i added some information that is actually quite relevant to alignment / warping. Regardless if you know enough to notice it Ferni Ka'Nviiou wrote:Warping to the centre of a star isn't that new of a concept. You don't know the trick i'm talking about since you can use it to warp anywhere and it involves no stars, quit trying to "beat" me and falling flat on your face. Yeah, I know. I was using the dictionary term, so, apologies. I don't mine for the second point, so, look, I'm not trying to "beat" you at all. I never said that.
I had obviously assumed your posting intentions incorrect:

Thank you, and please keep the thread constructive, with minimal slapfighting and namecalling. (Ed: reviewed some of my wording) Now, please tell us of mighty ISD that how suicide ganking is different from griefing? Suicide gank is the definition of griefing. There is no other objective than to ruin players day. There are no objective for making profit, or gaining mining area to their own miners.
Quote:Griefing (repeated targeting of a player with gameplay-denying tactics with no other objective other than to ruin the player's day) is a serious issue, and if you believe you are the target of griefing, please file a support ticket about it. Like he said, specific targeting of a player with gameplay denying tactics unto that specific player. Yes the objective is to ruin somebody's day, but it's pretty easy to prevent.
It's like me saying: "No, don't target me! I'm only here to fight NPCs in your -1.0 security space! How could you!?" |

Or goto 0.0 if you really want to mine in peace and join a major alliance. But the rules of 0.0 is always keep an eye out in local for hostiles. You're no more at peace than in high security. If you apply the same 'check local' rule to high security, then you'll be well aware of possible ganks. Unfortunately a lot don't... And thus we have continued ganks. |
