Niaal	Posted - 2006.12.01 23:48:00 - [1] Edited by: Niaal on 02/12/2006 00:10:00 Just thought I'd drop a hint for those of you that are a bit slow to catch on. Yup, gate camping works, but kali brought something better; with a tiny skill investment you can now pinpoint a mission runner in 5-10 min. With good skills you only need 1-2. Level 3-4 missions take 30 min to several hours, and the carebears take a standing hit if they don't finish the mission, so there's ample opportunity for an ambush should they manage to warp out. There's also lots of fun to be had with high sec mission runners, I'll leave that one for you to figure out. pros/cons: +Zero risk. You're pvp fitted and know what tank the other guy has. You could also just jump off if you need to, a pve setup doesn't have a scrambler. Plus the fact they're tanking a crapload of npc's, of course.. +Faction fitted ravens. -Most mission runners left low sec before kali hit. Those who didn't aleady are leaving now, so that gate camp may work out better after all. ...why are you still reading this, get grieving already?!
Xaildaine	Posted - 2006.12.02 00:58:00 - [2] You guys hunt Miners untill they all flee lowsec then cry about the belts being empty. You camp gates till people would rather go 15 extra jumps than risk getting instapoped and then Cry that there is not enough trafic through lowsec Now lets see if we can figure out what will happen to the mission runners.. hmmm hope you guys are ready to be forced to feed exclusivly of eachother
Speed Devil Caldari Liberty Rogues	Posted - 2006.12.02 01:19:00 - [3] id say make whole empire lowsec with anything less than lvl 3 quality 0 in empire and everything higher than lvl 3 qualty 0 in 0.0 only empire should be the systems where newbies start with a few surrounding systems. much less chokepoints of lowsec to 0.0 this would be the solution, pvpers and npcers would work more together, transport ships would have the support wich they need, market hubs would get protected by the players etc... there would be less probing out, people would go more for the rats etc,... oh well, that dream is far away and ccp will never dare to take this step, eve became carebearonline
Thomas Maleficus Caldari Monkeys With Syphilis	Posted - 2006.12.02 01:21:00 - [4] Oh? and what are you going to do to high sec mission runners? Steal their non-existent loot cans? Shoot their mission rats? good luck with that. Pirates stole my signature.

There are lots of methods to avoid getting killed on missions, use your ******* brain.
Speed Devil Caldari Liberty Rogues	Posted - 2006.12.02 01:40:00 - [7] well another solution might be... pirates get ur sec status up, move to highsec and probe those carebears down, get into their deadspace, steal their cans, and give remote shield and armortransfer the strongest rats till u **** those carebears off because they lose their standings or bonuses. maybe then they will move back to lowsec or quit the game with alot of whining on the forums. or they will shoot u (if u took their cans) and u can blow em up :) and i bet that will make u feel good too

There are lots of methods to avoid getting killed on missions, use your ******* brain. Dude i have no idea who the OP is but then again i have no idea who you are either.. maybe im your alt. Though i would love for you to comment on my post about Pirates actions having an impact on lowsec populations i can see that the most i would get from you is "STFU newb omg!!!1!1" And as far as Getting players to Lowsec its not gona happen by nerfing Highsec. People of a non PvP leaning would more likely just quit. You get people into low sec by making it less secure than highsec and more secure than nosec. I know it would be hard for Pirates to swallow but the fact remains that at the moment its safer in No secuity space than in low security. Prating in Lowsec should be posable but very risky via game mechanics. Only those with the skill to Pirate up to 0.4 it should be able to do it, not the mindless bulk of Gankbears. then .4 becomes a small risk increase for production minded corps and they move in. Makeing the Pirates with the skill to be able to fish these waters much better Profits. The nobrain Gankbears who wish to camp gates and such should be forced to do this in 0.0 up to 0.2 The rewards of living in Lowsec are there.. its just the risk is to high. hell id like for Pirates to be able to work o.5 all the way to 0.9 systems as long as the skill required and the risks involved were balanced. iE only the best of the best.
Nyphur Pillowsoft Interstellar Starbase Syndicate	Posted - 2006.12.02 02:06:00 - [11] If I weren't so lazy, I'd fit out a HAC for tackling and tanking, bring three friends with cloaks and sit inside a mission, waiting for a "pirate" to spawn. Eve-Tanking.com - For tanking spreadsheet and resources.
Gindar Dragonfire Intergalactic Crusaders of Krom iPOD Alliance	Posted - 2006.12.02 02:13:00 - [12] moving back on topic... yes mission runners will leave lowsec. some will even unequip faction mods while in highsec and sell them (atm some 's are lamenting on how difficult the contracts system is to use while trying to do this, check missions forum for some 's) others will have b4lls and stay in a quiet lowsec area, watching local, and making as much isk as possible to be able to replace the ship+mods if some ebils decide to say hello. as has been said... this social phenomenon has already taken place in placid. the bears will do missions and go into gank mode when a pirate comes in local. or they will all dock until you go away, or the anti's come to the rescue (the carebear cavalry lol). same thing will happen in 0.9. anti's will defend each other. pirate corps will come in with bigger gangs. sometimes the anti's win, usually the pie's outsmart them or come with more firepower and blow away all the mission runners they can before everyone docks. if the pie's come often enough, either the anti's will start living in the system or nearby system. or the bear's will flee in terror for another mission hub. pie's having no targets, will move on. for pie's who cannot enter lowsec it will suck. targets will be fewer and farer in between. great ebil's who have come before me have already pointed this out. it will always be like this. when lowsec gets too dead, pie groups will migrate to a different region, either lowsec or even 0.0. for example, s******dly has been roaming curse for easy targets, as has murder of crows.

Michayel Lyon The Corporation	Posted - 2006.12.02 05:23:00 - [14] Originally by: Xaildaine generaly their bountys arent worth the wait Because if it was, he'd jump into a jumpclone without implants and have his alt pod him already... But that's another discussion entirely. --- Lasiverin Dark > Is everyone here allied? Red Knight > we are allied by our zombie like ability to ***** missions The Game - You just lost it

Please continue to believe that. I ALWAYS fit a 2 str scram when doing missons in lowsec just in case some noob pirate warps in. especially funny when you do the furthest npc spawns first and the pirates warp in, get aggro/web'd from the npc's, then you scramble them back, or even get scrambled as well by the npc's. to a good misson runner, your just another mob to be blown up and looted. better stick to gatecamps and miners, youll live longer. -I don't necessarily agree with everything I say.- -nerf Missles-
Nasair	Posted - 2006.12.02 05:37:00 - [16] You also act like they will just let you sit in system or even rove around these areas, you'll be hung out to dry in no time ^^. I just want to see the noob pirate who warps into a lvl 4 mission and gets ganked by NPCs, mostly because then I loot them
Thomas Maleficus Caldari Monkeys With Syphilis	Posted - 2006.12.02 05:52:00 - [17] Quote: get into their deadspace, steal their cans Oh man thought I'd never stop laughing, you're more than welcome to come into my mission spawns and steal my cans. As I like to say "Gathering loot is like picking your arse, you rarely find anything good and the rest is all crap". I haven't gathered loot cans since I was a 2 month noob. Good luck with that. As for remote repping the rats?? well all I can say is we'll see, can't say if it will work or won't work yet but you're welcome to try, if you'd like contact me in game and I'll let you find my mission and you can try your theory and see if it works. See I'm not an all good carebear, I'll let you piratey types test your theories. Though somthing like remote repping the rats might get addressed by ccp but it's hard to say really. Pirates stole my signature.

Use a Raven for bait: Apparently it's a lot faster to scan for battleships, and everybody knows Ravens are full of faction stuff and completely harmless to pirates. With a bit of luck the pirate will drop nice loot, too, since he's expecting an easy job. -- Thukkers do
solidshot Sebiestor tribe	Posted - 2006.12.02 12:57:00 - [22] Been playing with probes in empire looking for drones, and numerous times i have warped to a set of drones found by the probe and been taken to a mission warp gate

Tarnish Katharr GoonFleet GoonSwarm	Posted - 2006.12.02 16:16:00 - [25] Edited by: Tarnish Katharr on 02/12/2006 16:23:26 I can confirm that this works pretty good. Sausage Smuggling Syndicate blew the **** out of my apoc yesterday. Saw the probe on scanner and when I closed the window a Rapier was tackling me. Then his buddies in an Apoc and Hurricane arrived. This is gonna be good sport for pirates. Gotta get in on this, if the loot I dropped is any indication of what other mission runners drop. Or maybe have a few of my friends in Recon sitting near the warp in. Edit: Training Astrometrics V now

Gimping your setup for a tiny shot at against a clueless noob certainly doesn't sound very clever.. We all know that a ship fitted for the job would tear the mission runner a new one, so I can't help but wonder what you're trying to accomplish here. Just passing time by talking smack at on the forums, or are you really that full of yourself?

Just passing time by talking smack at on the forums, or are you really that full of yourself? guess i am, i fly a full faction modded armor tanked macherial to do lvl 4's with, and can afford to loose one med slot to a scram. As for talkin smack. ya i am, cause frankly if you guys are too lame to actually do real combat and instead have to resort to whining bout moving missons to lowsec, gatecamping, or now the "misson runner" ganking then you suck at eve, and only can kill those that are in the weaker position.. continue to believe what you wish, not all misson runners are sheep you know, and the fact that ive been jumped mid mission a few times and survived quite handily led me to post the origional rebuttal. PS. i live in lowsec too. -I don't necessarily agree with everything I say.- -nerf Missles-

Gonada Gallente Cross Roads	Posted - 2006.12.03 05:20:00 - [30] Edited by: Gonada on 03/12/2006 05:21:26 the dumb part is that you post in a thread about mission piracy, and admit that you fly a faction fitted macheriel to do your missions in lowsec , and even mention part of your setup. plus in another thread you call lowsec pirates griefers. do you not realise how stupid this is if true? ---------------------------------------------------- a: first 10 seconds of any engagement youll know how the other guy is setup by the reaction of his ship if you are smart. b: lowsec pirates for the most part are griefers, everyone knows it, why hide that fact? i know it , you know it. c: i dont care about wether anyone knows what i use or dont. its a game, if you think oyur tough enough to gank me, go for it man, all the power to ya, if ya win, good on you, if i loose too bad for me, no whining. cause in the end, its just a game to pass the time by till something better comes along, like UO, EQ, daoc, SWG was, and in each i played the game for fun, for pvp, for enjoyment. gnight -I don't necessarily agree with everything I say.- -nerf Missles-
