You should, having actually played since 2003 that is. Your post makes me wonder if a) you have nothing better to do than troll, b) you recently purchased this character and don't know what to do aside from picking up some terminology disguising your lack of any actual knowledge or c) you are trying to be clever in chiming into the pointless and stupid "why can't my big ship kill your tiny ship" topic floating around. Which one is it? There is always d) other... which you'd explained by now had it been the case. Or is it all of the above? |

Maybe is time for CCP to add an "Reputation" kind of stat to characters (similar to sec status), to make it easier for players trying to solo to avoid these situations. It should take into account the n+2 factor on the battle records(killmails). Bait and gank should increase this stat. Veterans might not care about the "Reputation" of the opponents, but the new guys might get a chance to have some fun with solo without being cannon fodder and create yet more risk adverse players. We have too many already 
Not to be rude but I hope not. Not instantly being able to tell the "reputation" or "threat level" of the opponent is an important part of the game... Reasons not needed I hope. |

Reasons not needed I hope. Player count is a good reason. Looking at threads like this it's easy to spot player frustration and players frustration leads to less people playing EVE. We veterans already have the tools to look for this kind of stat using third party tools, so I don't see why we should not have it in game also, to benefit the players new to PVP
Point taken. 2 reasons I still say No: 1) OP playing since 2003 does not even come close to qualifying him/her as new, 2) always expecting the unexpected is part of the very core of Eve. |

1. Let's hear from the (2003) OP on this one.
2. Agree to disagree? |

I don't know why anyone would reply to you, all the time you have that nasty tone and attitude. Just saying.
Then why did you?
Just saying.

Wasn't my intention to offend you (which I obviously somehow did?), just called BS when I saw it. The entire original post was and still is a contradiction with the poster further confirming my suspicions with each response. Not the original owner of a 2003 char, not even remotely familiar with PvP in Eve or the game's mechanics for that matter, not even a long-time Eve player (which would have known better than to post something like this). Ask genuine questions and get help/answers, do something like this post here and you will get people like me calling you out. Simple as that. Nothing personal.

Yet you haven't been playing EVE since 2003 (tell me I'm wrong) and you respond to advice (which you asked for) by telling everyone that you know better.
This thread deserves no further response. Save your time guys. As for the OP - go on and fly what you like where you like and how you like, plenty of PvP targets out there. If you really do end up needing advice: a) don't start off with a lie and b) take the advice if you find it helpful and skip it if you don't, just be respectful to those who spend their time trying to help you.
PS: There is nothing wrong with battleships, you are just using them wrong. |

PS: There is nothing wrong with battleships, you are just using them wrong. I am telling you, you are wrong, want to see a limited API? When you see how old my account is I want an apology on this forum. My fit is fine, consider my last hyperion losses. I have everything fit that has been suggested. Does not make a bit of difference. You are a big fat target flying around in a huge brick. People will just blob u and fit hard counters. Tried neuting the interceptor, he called in a second interceptor. Tried MJD they met me at the gate before I could land. Every tactic I used they had a counter for, we went gate to gate until they finally had enough guys to take me out. Tried drones, they shot them down.
No need for the API (but thanks). Name of your (non-purchased) oldest character will do. You mention "even older" but I am not sure what in reference to. Older than the 2003 toon you bought or the 2009 one you mention. Please give me the character name (and by now you know we will find out if you are telling the truth) of a character you started and did any pvp with back in 2003 (so that you know you can't really go back further unless you were in beta). If it proves to be legitimate I will apologize right here. If not - you pick how you want to respond... OR just say "sorry guys, I didn't actually fly back in 2003, nor did I do it up until [insert year]". Either works. |
