Originally by: Rekindle Granted my view point is a little messed up right now. Having played game for a while now ( 2 years in feb ) and loosing literally everything you own on a retarded game mechanic will have that effect on people. But let me explain:
I spend 80% of my time in 0.0 and %20 of my time in empire. I was on a empire run when a well practiced group blew up my iteron 5 hauler [with high end expanders] in a .5 system. I was not at war with them, I wasn't afk, I was in an empire system when they used their grief tactics to explode everything (and I mean everything) I own in the form of Bpos/Bpcs/mods etc into nothing.
Let me save the naysayers the effort: And explain outright that I understand that this is an accepted method of game play (to shoot and take the Concord hit) and then have your mates loot.
But its specifically because its accepted that I come to the conclusion this game is a griefer playground. I have invested as much time and energy in this game as griefers, yet because I chose to move my stuff through what was suposed to be secure space, I am being penalized and the "material" representation of time is now gone.
If you don't want players to partake in care bearing empire runs then dont bait them with what is 99.99999999% of the time secure space and write off being ganked with a "you should have known better" attitude. Just call this a %100 pvp only game where combat can happen against your 1hp hauler any time anywhere and remove policing altogther or otherwise repair this pathetic game mechanic.
The problem is that you were carrying to much value in a defenceless ship. An industrial fitted for cargo capacity is very easy to destroy.
When I move a BPO worth a billion around empire space, I never use a shuttle or an industrial. My options are a very fast interceptor, or a transport ship with boosted resistance for armor hp. Anything that would be hard to kill basically.
In addition, do not leave precious items directly in your ship cargo. Instead put them in secure containers so that anyone scanning you won't know for sure if you are a worth target or not.
You can panic and quit over your loss, or you can learn from it and play better next time.
You are the only one responsible for your own security in space, and not CCP.
Fly safe.
