Im in a low sec region of eve at the moment, found a nice place with tons of players, and basically no other pirates. but there are a few problems..
1. Everyone is afk inside a pos bubble in every system I go to. except like 2.
In these 2, I track some npc hunters in bc's around the entire system twice, and then, THEN they decide to warp back to base and dock, and I never see them again.
I've been down here for like three hours now atleast and I've gotten so close to killing a few of them, yet so so far.
If they would just stay in one belt for more then 2 seconds. OMFG..
Anyway, Ill update this before I head to sleep. Im determined to kill something before I do though.

..... Soon enough, I will see pirates paying carebears to line up in belts.
I can share the frustration though. I lost a newbie ferox to lag and corp members .... Was the greatest catch so far in my pirating career....
edit: Goddamn settings.....

ive seen that pvp... 5hours of ball growing until you have more then they do and then when your ball-less leaders finally decide to grow balls the others log off at safespot or everything crashes at jumpin, woohoo that was 6hours of fun wasnt it?

I have to agree! I left 0.0 because of this. Hours of gate, station camping and 5 sec fun instapoping 1 enemy cruiser. I can get more fun ratting in Velator! I hated going to weddings. All the grandmas would poke me saying "You're next". They stopped that when I started doing it to them at funerals. |

Then you haven't seen the 0.0 PvP that I have/can see on a daily basis. What you saw was a horrible FC doing what a horrible FC does best, suck.

Well, with all the people flying Battlecruisers these days it's not that hard to get a decent ransom out of the few people you find. I'll be damned if I didn't wish more NPC'ers were stupid and actually stayed ratting after I warp in on them. :(

By the sounds of it PVP in 0.0 is quiet,
I think I'll stick to our Empire Wars - chased down and opened up a T2 fitted Tempest with the lads last night, big buzz from the kill after the build up during the chase - LOVE IT.
If its too quiet out there why not try low sec belts, or catching mission runners. Or join a corp with plenty of Empire War Targets

I know the feeling Frank, prey seems to have disappeared at the moment, I'm gettin a little bored with Eve atm (hours of hunting and not a single target).... having said that, we can't really moan, we chose our profession in the game so we just have to grin and bear it for now.
We lost a Caldari Navy Raven last night due to lag, absolutely GUTTED! hehe.

Also, we don't pod for fun mate, we always ransom first, so the choice to go free is there for the taking. Everyone deserves the chance to live.

docking when a pirate enters the systems is hardly outsmarting him.

Have to agree that it¦s incredibly hard sometimes to get a (somewhat) even fight in Eve. It¦s either gank or beeing ganked. I blame it on the very few "meeting" points where you can stumble across somebody aside from gates.

Wich is just another variation of "gank a noob"... ;p But yes I love the new scan probes because they make it easier/faster to find the targets in a sys.

Good news! In the next patch CCP is introducting a module to address this problem called the Victim Tractor Beam (VTB). Upon activation this module sucks the nearest undocked neutral ship in system into warp and automatically drags it to within your optimal range. As an added bonus, a ship caught by the VTB cannot move or warp, thus eliminating the need to even fit a scrambler or webifier! The VTB is perfect for those pirates too lazy to use the tools already available to them for hunting down targets such as the directional scanner, scanprobes, or their brains.

Did the OP get a kill on them? No. Hence he was thwarted in his endeavers and was wholely unsuccessful...sounds like out-smarted to me. It always *****s me up to see posts like this. WAAA WAAAA OMFG what wrong with these people they wont let me just take their stuff. WAAAA WAAA
Pirates say it to Bears in local all the time "Adapt or die"... Maybe they should start saying it back.

It doesn't really take much intelligence to look in local for a skull&crossbones symbol then jumpto0 for instadock as soon as one appears.
There's nothing you can do about that, there needs to be a way of hiding sec status from local or get rid of local altogether, i really don't think it adds anything positive other than serving to dumb the game down.
That said there's still plenty of nubs in rifters/thrashers to blow up if you know where to look.
