Eh what was that about your corp not fighting? Bad neighbors just got dunked pretty hard. Vigilant and 1b ISK proteus down in Uedama.

5 provincia septim guys on the mail with 4 gilas and a domi so either someone got alts into that corp in record time or they do in fact know how to fight.

Eventually you run out of ISK for ships though, if you keep undocking expensive things into a hopeless situation. Unless your primary income comes from another account, which changes the calculation considerably. Many people in highsec who get wardecced are not in that position though.

Personally I think telling people to undock into a fight they have almost no chance of winning is just as problematic as telling people not to undock unless for a sure win.

Not normally being one to directly agree with Veers, with him simply being the other extreme opposite the "Everyone must be forced to die!" crowd, but this is very much the truth of it. If someone has no interest in the "pew pew" variety of PvP, they aren't forced to do that. EVE gives people plenty of options and evasion is simply one of them, and generally the most efficient one for small groups with no space assets and zero interest in shooting people.

Evasion comes in many forms. Like when people play docking games it's fine for them to use to safety of the station. Reforming a corp is only really available to small corps with no assets and it's part of the game. Learn to accept that if you pick a target that small that he's going to use valid mechanics to avoid you, just like the station huggers.

Everything that's done in game will always be a mixture of player skills and mechanics. That you call them theme park is just your personal opinion. It doesn't make them objectively wrong. I'm sure there's loads of things you don't like that others do in many games, so like it or lump it.

I heard it's called Eve. Highsec has an active and infallible police force enabling players to pursue PvE activities.

This thread was ok until the heaviest user of Anusol in known space, second only to Veers arrived.

Hi Lucas. Still furiously defending your low hanging fruit I see. Have you tried coughing?

Actually a lot of people use wars to get POCOs however because everything about the war system is so heavily biased in favor of the defender that 90% of the time they hire mercs to do it for them. Moons are less common because frankly they're an abundant resource and the difficulty of destroying a properly set up tower as well as the nuisance of POS reinforcement timers makes contracts to destroy them incredibly expensive.

War fatigue timers would be enormously detrimental to mercenaries as they'd place a hard mechanical limit on your ability to take contracts, it would also be incompatible with the way corporations leaving alliances generates new wars. I also don't see how imposing limits on aggression would in any way improve highsec gameplay, which is already becoming increasingly devoid of ways for people to initiate conflicts.

Similarly restrictions on people doing what they want regarding their corporation membership just prevents people from being part of the group they want to be in and ultimately if someone doesn't want to be at war and has nothing invested in their corporation they wouldn't be heavily impacted by being in an NPC corp anyway.

The way to approach collapsing and reforming corporations as well as the ridiculous levels of passiveness of players in highsec corporations is to make corp membership and a corp being well established more valuable to players and worth defending.

Adding punishments to running away and arbitrary limits on aggression would just annoy everyone involved.

I just took you off the naughty list. You're wavering. Other people have noticed too.

You are paying for the chance at a target. Move to low/null/WHs and you can get targets for free. Why not do that?

I can tell by your poorly thought out replies. You are usually on point, I may not agree with you but your arguments are usually solid. Your last two replies show your frustration.

I would just like to point out one would also have to be docked to take such a screenshot.

How bout you tell us why you won't fight Leto?

You will only fight me if you have carriers on standby....fact. leto thule is afraid of holeysheet1

Holey, I really don't know you.
I've read some of your posts and I've driven past you a few times.
I've never flown with you.
I have flown with Leto once, and while a single incident isn't nearly enough to draw any kind of statistical analysis from, I can at least convey what my observations were during that singular experience.
He was willing to risk a fairly shiny cruiser (a gila) for the sole purpose of 'screw it, let's go have fun and roam around until we die'. Scratch that, risk isn't the right word. The undocking was done under the assumption that all ships involved would be destroyed.
Period.
Death was assured.
Strangely enough, due to RL and other weird circumstances we totally failed to die. I had the weirdest sad moment when I successfully docked up my gila in high sec the next morning.

My point? If you fight him in a Thunderdome setting, you are going to get a real fight. No tricks from him, no traps. (I think he sends all the traps over to Serendipity Lost anyways).
At least this is the impression I've gained due to my one experience. I may just be naive though and he's luring me into a false sense of security for the long con.
Given I have no trannytos carriers to be scammed out of though I kinda doubt this.
Take it as you will.
