Good luck on convincing them raiding defenseless or less powerful targets and looting the remains is not a preferred way to interact with others.
They like it.
They encourage group activity, not solo, thus a pack of gankers flying in cheap destroyers can take out a single pilot in a huge expensive freighter.
They make profit when your ship is exploded and you have to replace it, it's their business model. They have no interest in balancing defensive capabilities versus offensive capabilities in any consistent manner. Thus a freighter has no ability to carry a weapon but a tiny rookie ship one percent of it's size can.
Reality is CCP likes the game the way they want us to play it, not the way we might want to play it. Once you reconcile that inescapable fact you can perhaps still find enjoyment in ways CCP will tolerate.
This idea of combat ships attacking non combat ships is a part of the problem. All indy type ships are designed so that they perform in a task with no though of combat. To fix A lot of these issues just make all Indy ships (mining, trade, whatever) combat effective even if it is only really good at defensive combat, hell make it offensive if you want. But do this and let it stiff perform its intended role. There would be no reason that any race of people who were under constant threat of attack, would not adjust there ship building techniques to reflect the change in there universe to better perform and provide a harder target. We see this in our own historical evolution of warfare start back with sticks and stone to atomic age weapons, and now into unmanned weapon platforms. How is it that in eve we still have mining barges and freighters with no thought about defensive or offensive armaments...seriously like wth???
If miners, traders, and/or, care bears were able to have combative styled ships of their professions then there would be less issue with an unfair gank and more of an issue of learn to play.
fix the ships and you will go a long way with fixing A lot of issues. |
