Earthan Gallente The Amazing Fire Eaters Breidablik	Posted - 2006.12.08 09:31:00 - [91] Edited by: Earthan on 08/12/2006 09:34:32 Originally by: Bellum Eternus I'm not here to discuss PvP, or pirating in giant gate camps with instalocking remote boosted frigs or bubbled gates in 0.0. I'm here to discuss solo/small gang piracy in low-sec and what's become of it since the new patch. For me personally it has completely disappeared. I had to wait a week to get Recon Probe Launchers (RPLs) seeded, so I could go after mission runners. Doesn't matter now anyway, as all the mission runners have disappeared into high-sec. I can't follow them there (yet) because I'm -10.00. I don't have anyone to shoot at. Zero. There's more traffic in low sec now, but that's an illusion. Haulers go from gate to station, instadock, turn around and leave. Where before I might ahve stood a chance at nabbing one or two that didn't have instas, now I'm assured that I don't get the opportunity, no matter how small it might have been before. Rarely does someone go ratting in a belt, and when they do, they're always aligned to the gate/station, and are usually in warp before I even get warped into the belt proper. Straight to the station and gate, with no chance to persue them. I dislike 0.0 because of the bubbles and bubble camps, but it looks like that is all that remains for me to do. Not bubblecamp mind you, but ply 0.0 systems in search of targets. I spend half my time in 0.0 anyway, but that's fighting fleet battles and such for my alliance. I do that to support them, but I enjoy solo pirating in low-sec as my main style of gameplay. Lately I see less and less reason to undock. In my opinion this game is increasingly becoming one of PvP by consent only. Might as well make special arenas and 'battle grounds' and completely convert to WoW's design, we're already half way there. I have jump clones in the four major circuits of low-sec in Amarr / Gallente / Caldari / Minmatar space. I'm not just suffering in a single system devoid of targets. I move around a lot using warp to 0km to my advantage to traverse high-sec in search of targets in remote low-sec systems. There just isn't anything to shoot at anymore. As soon as I get into a system, everyone is docked / safespotted / on their way to the high-sec gate. Bring back solo piracy to EvE CCP. well i think its as it was designed solo pirating was never meant to be at gates in low sec with sentries there. Anyway i still dont understand why cant you: 1- uber tank a bs and catch on the warping gate your target i know a friend of mine who did it. 2-Train for arazu or other cloaking ship and get them in belts.

Plutoinum German Cyberdome Corp Veritas Immortalis	Posted - 2006.12.08 09:33:00 - [92] Edited by: Plutoinum on 08/12/2006 09:35:41 @Nanobotter A little gank story: Yesterday, someone I know just got his new battleship. He was more or less broke and wanted to rat in his BS to make some money again. So what did he do ? He wanted to test his fitting against rats, jumped into the first belt, although there were hostiles around, it was in the middle of a warzone on the main route and the system has only two belts ! Well, he got ganked by 12 hostiles. My comment was only 'Sigh, I better don't ask what you did in that belt...' Then he wanted revenge, because he was totally angry, jumped into another ship, warped into the 12 enemies and lost his pod. You'd say the gankers were mean and the fight was unfair. I'd say it was his own fault. You don't play EVE like that ! It wasn't unfair, he made a bad move like a chess-player and he got punished for it ! No reason to cry or complain, it was fair game. If that happens to you, it's time to rethink your playstyle and improve or suffer again. CTD/con-loss vs. log-out. A proposal for a fix.
ArchenTheGreat Caldari Yesodic Nomads Corp Triumvirate.	Posted - 2006.12.08 10:41:00 - [93] I see no problem in low sec piracy. If you want to run missions there join a big corp. Go to the same system will all friendly mission runner and cover each other. If you monitor local you should know when pirate enter system. Start checking scanner and when you see something bigger than covert op call for help from fellow corp members. Most missions are in DS. Pirate will land on gate giving you time to spot him. Few mission ratter BS will make a huge whole in any pirate ship. Even with mission fitting. The key is: multiplayer and cooperation. The ONLY problem I see is high-sec griefing. Like stealing mission items, agroing whole spawns or bumping people so they can't warp. I think it should be petitionable because you can't defend yourself from such behaviours.
Tareen Kashaar eXin Alliance	Posted - 2006.12.08 10:51:00 - [94] Originally by: Nanobotter Mk2 FFs how stupid are people? Look noone is paying 15 bucks a month to grind missions to rig a ship up worth 500 million so you can stroll by gank them and make a quick 100 million.... DO YOU GET IT? ARE YOU DENSE? [...] you certainly are not very intellegent since you cannot manage to understand a simple concept that noone is out there grinidng ISK all month just to loose it all and hand over a part of it to you CAN YOU UNDERSTAND THAT SIMPLE CONCEPT? I'm not gonna go into spelling ability here, but talk about being intelligent: I do not see any game mechanisms anywhere that force you to fit a ship with 500mil of modules. So, something "intelligent" for you would be to not fly stuff you're not willing to lose. That said, I rat and run missions in my pvp setups, and the pvp-ability of my ship is priority, not that I can run the mission as fast as possible. Of course, I still can, because I'm ooba --- WTS: Forum Signatures, 30mil a piece. Evemail me!

Of course, I still can, because I'm ooba You can't run missions and defend from pirates at the same time. Not solo. The key is to have friends in system ready to warp to you. They may be in mission setups.
Teresa Daluca	Posted - 2006.12.08 11:05:00 - [96] Bellum Eternus and other pvp "junkies" ok I may say you are screwed for the fact most people "dont like PVP" most people playing eve look at pirates as griefers and happy trigger **'s Most people DONT want go get there ships blown up and most people dont like paying for a new clone either and most people dont like the idea of getting there hard saved BPO's got blown up IT's NOT fun it's realy not fun O thats right EvE Online is one of the rare space mmorpg games out on the market we love eve becouse we dont want to play a fairy we like space games. We dont want to get constantly griefed from trigger happy let me say morons becouse I realy **ed at some people here thinking all people want to destroy everything the look at. dont ruin the game for us who love eve becouse it's a space mmorpg, and dont loving blasting up other people property..
KHEN Gallente New Horizons	Posted - 2006.12.08 11:06:00 - [97] Edited by: KHEN on 08/12/2006 11:06:15 Give to pirates a small chance to hack a stargate and disable it (ss<5, hi slot mod + high-end skill) for a small amount of time (1-2 minutes) and they will be happy again

Oh jesus... Ok, so on the one hand we've got people who play this game because it is the only** MMO with non-con PvP with consequences for your actions. On the other we've got people who want to play a MMO exactly like the other 30 on the market only with spaceships instead of fairies. Brilliant, we'll just give up the last hardcore MMO out there so that you can change it into a clone of all the others for purely cosmetic reasons. THAT'S going to happen. Selfish little mutters... ___ The world isn't going to end; we're not that lucky...
Dale Cussler Gallente Sniggerdly	Posted - 2006.12.08 11:26:00 - [99] Oh, I dunno. I've had mixed results. It's easy enough to catch haulers when they've just jumped in and are at a gate busy aligning, except you get the whole sentry thing there. But very doable and profitable if you catch some local hulls. Belt piracy, depends on how you approach it I guess. Some people stay aligned all the time, and sure, you might not catch them, but I've had decent results there as well. Complexes are scannable now, so are safespots, so all it takes is scare a carebear away from a belt into his/her safespot, drop a probe, and presto. Same with complexes, missions, and other items of interest. Still plenty of missioning happening in lowsec and 0.0 -- so when you're doing some piracy just for a sec rating drop, you're out of luck. If you're in it for ransoms and the possibility of some good loot dropping, you've got to adapt and you'll do just fine. IMO. YMMV.
Seishomaru	Posted - 2006.12.08 11:52:00 - [100] Funny so much people comlaining.. more than one week kali in. Never got jumped by pirates when doing missions, neither in safe or unsafe space.
