I was playing Worlds Collide in Gallente Space, and a stupid salvage theif starts stealing all of my wrecks.
Didn't mean to shoot at him, just locked him (you know, to scare him) but accidentally ended up firing at him. Whoops. Overview is tricky sometimes with a slow internet. LOL
Police blew up my Raven, and the theif took all of my fittings. I saved and mined in my Osprey for weeks to buy it, especialy the cruise missile launchers and shields. I'm mad about the theif, but that isn't the worst part.
The worst part, is I paid like 20M for insurance - but I never got ANYTHING back???? So I'm starting over from scratch. I petitioned, but apparently that is how it is supposed to work now, which doesn't make any sense to me. Yes, stupid mistake, but why am I punished so harshly for it when I got tricked by a salvager? And why offer insurance at all, if it doesn't pay???
Now I have to mine for weeks again to get a new Raven. This really sucks, and its probably not worth it. I'd give away my stuff, but I don't have anything to give. I literally have 2 Million left. I hope CCP fixes this soon. |

I'll take that 2 mil, and contract your osprey to me as well. A Good Forum Post Is Like A Skirt.... Long Enough To Cover The Subject Matter, But Short Enough To Keep Things Interesting.

Hahaha. Fitting.
CCP tries to nerf suicide ganking, but instead delivers a wrecking shot to nooblet Carebears running missions. -1 Sub for that guy I guess. Tough when you lose it all to a misclick, especially with a laggy overview.
Gankers win again, because CCP is incompetent.

what did they won ?
We all lose the only resource we have, time. If you having fun in that time i guess it can be considered as winning. If you dont, you did not lose you just have to take an break. |

Your "mis click" should have popped up the "you are about to be naughty and will get punished" warning, why did you ignore that? Or did you turn that handy feature off? And if so, why? Can you then blame CCP for ignoring the safeguards put in place?
It's like taking out insurance on your car and then totaling it on the race track. Insurance will not pay out as you were using it outside the rules.
Tough, but working as intended.
Or, semi-good troll.
EDIT: If you are really down and out, contact me in-game and we can work something out to help you get up and going again. EDIT2 : Seem it's a troll. Offer for help invalidated. |

You, Sir, are a filthy criminal. You tried to murder a poor man just for taking some scrap metal out of a wreck! So you were punished by the police which is in the best interest of us law-abiding citizens.
It only makes sense that insurance companies don't spend our premiums to recompensate criminals, doesn't it?

I laughed, thanks for the story bro. If you only have 2m Your playing the game wrong. Eve is a game that making isk is so easy, when people compain about having none, what they mean is, "im too lazy to go earn some" or "Im too stupid to earn alot". Isk is easy to come by.
FYI 2m is enough for a Merlin, go run L1s and start back up the ladder. |

Too easy, no points awarded. Excellence is not a skill, it's an attitude.
If MMORPG players were around when God said, "Let there be light" they'd have called the light gay and plunged the universe back into darkness by squatting their nutsacks over it. |

I'm a softy so I almost fell for it.
Then it occured to me, if he was flipping your wrecks, how did you get concorded? You should have had kill rights on him. |

He wasn't stealing, he was salvaging. This is perfectly legal within the game mechanics, whereas you shooting him was a criminal act. The fact that you 'THINK' he is a thief is irrelevant. |

I figured that out after I read what I wrote. The guy was salvaging, not looting.
To the OP: You did what most never do, you fought back. If you are a fighter, it won't stop you. 2 weeks and you will be back in a Raven. 2 months and you will be able to dock up and get a ship to kill the thief with, lose it and know you killed the bastard. If your just trolling, I don't know, whatever. I'm used to it now.

I don't even hav the Osprey anymore. Sold it to pay for insurance on my new Raven. Yeah, go ahead. Laugh.
Never thought I would ever have to mine Veldspar ever again, once I finally got the Raven fitted properly a few days ago. Sigh.
I'm guessing most of you either buy ISK, or just don't remember how hard it is to get money honestly.
Yeah, I think there was a pop up, but it showed up right when I was typing in a chat window with the theif. Was only there an instant, but must have set to 'OK', because next thing I know, I was killed by the police and the salvager was laughing at me and salvaging my poor Raven. He told me that he would contract my stuff back for 2 Million, but then set the price to 200M. (like I wouldn't notice).
(Oh, by the way, - his name was 'Solomarr Esperanto' or something close to that.)
Just sucks royally, all that work gone. Not sure if I want to rebuild at all - can't even really afford an Osprey anymore and I hate mining. I should have at least gotten the insurance ISK back that I paid. (I mean the 20M I paid for it, not the 70M I should have gotten back, but didn't.)

Your name still says you are trying to scam me but onward CAS soldier. Don't mine, it's a proffession in EVE, not a hobby to make quick ISK. I have Exhumer 5 and I can't be bothered to mine any more.
Go to the belts, kill the rats and loot ALL loot. Leave nothing, ignore the salvage. Look for Shadow Serpentis. You will find them in .8 and below and even high sec Shadow will drop Daredevil BPCs.

@OP: That was probably Solomar. I'll have to ask him - I want to know who your main is. But, he does stuff like that.
Sympathize somewhat about the 'popup' and the lag (Alaska internet sux) - but I prefer the default selection to be set to 'YES'. Makes suicide ganking easier as I madly spam the Enter key to get a second kill before Concord arrives.
I encourage the shooting of salvage ninjas - but you have to wait until they turn RED. (though, not sure if it was an accident or not, on your part. Lag is a ***** when you have lots of active targets, one of which that gets you concorded.) If its not red - shooting before that gets you killed, as much as we enjoy the fireworks and free loots.
Pretty expensive lesson. I'll address book you, see if you decide to quit. Starting from scratch is harsh, but thats how CCP wants it for noob carebears I guess...

ALWAYS get a warning? Here's a fun thing to try:
A) Get a corpmate to shoot you. B) Kick him from the corp while he's shooting you.
Result: Concord - no warning - no insurance.
Similarly, A) Infiltrate a corp to kill an expensive target. B) While killing said target, get kicked by the director flying the target.
Result: Concord - no warning - no insurance. Could be an exploit, but what petition could make the situation right? |
