Today was a crazy day. I thought i was safe in high sec more or less, of course there are gankers everywhere but i felt alright overall. Went to a 0.8 system which had 4 people in local, i was mining and i came across about 5 or 6 red targets in the vicinity, i set my two drones against them and before i knew it they were dealing 200 damage per second to my mackinaw, i tried to warp out but only managed to warp away in my pod, lost my $200 million ship. Sucks that the game does this to you in high sec, this should only be in null or low sec, but anyways this is what happened to me today. They were circadian seekers that killed me. |

You initiated the combat though, so they defended themselves.
I just tend to ignore them and warp to another belt. |

I mean, come on - you aggressively initiated combat against these otherwise passive otherworldly creatures, and then complain when they kick your arse?

They do not attack you unless you attack them. They are far different from the regular NPC pirates, as they never initiate first.
This was your fault. This is hisec, but just because its hisec, doesnt mean its super safe with very weak NPCs. Incursions are a great example of stronger-than-normal NPC spawns.
You didnt pay attention. You were ill-informed. You made a mistake. And now you are dead.
No one to blame but yourself. Tough break, tough lesson. |

Well, that's your own fault - and it doesn't matter where in New Eden you are, because if you shoot something without provocation you'd damn well better be prepared for them to shoot back.

ROFL.
Sorry. I understand the ship loss, what EVE players aren't going to get is the "it should not happen in HS" line.
If you didn't have that one line, you wouldn't be getting the ridicule. HS is "SAFER" not "SAFE"
First rule of EVE, don't fly what you can't afford to lose. By afford, we mean won't feel any butthurt.
My choice of pronouns is based on your avatar. Even if I know what is behind the avatar.

So hisec should have no consequences and no possibility of being destroyed?
Sorry, but it is your fault.

There are literally dozens of older threads on this forum from people who have experienced what happened to the OP. What I don-¦t get is how a Miner's gut reaction to seeing a 'red' on the overview can be to engage, when I do exploration in my paper thin T1-frigate I know I have to play it safe all the time and the same should be true for a Miner even if he/she is in a 'tougher' ship. |

Most likely, hes in a routine. He sees a red mark on his overview, and he just clicks and sends drones. Its something hes done so many times now, that he just does it out of habit. Over-repetition has created some bad habits for this guy. |

The even more interesting question:
Why does a character born in 2013 doesn't know the behavior of Circadian seekers and why the **** is he posting his High Sec whining drivel in the Newbro section of the forum?

Its possible he got a trial account but never got into it because he is a super secret spy and the queen of england asked him for a mission personally, possibly involving russians and/or Putin, and has resubbed now.

I had my doubts, unitl the Queen and the spy story, but she's not the Queen of England, she's the Queen of the of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, to be precise. 
I know Trial accs and so on, but he's posting since 2013, so I think that's not the reason.

Sure, but in the super secret spy circle, theyre old school. They still refer to their country as "England". Its an ancient and mystical cult of spies that existed for hundreds of years. |

He is just trying to get a ship reimbursement from you guys.
Personally I like it when my (cheapo) ship gets blown up because it means I am a part of the awesomeness called EVE.

This guy also posted on C&P and stated that there was a bounty on a scammer for people to collect, which i believe means that he was scammed himself, and he threatened never to play this game and never re-subscribe ever again. |

Just saying,
But they DO attack without provocation if you go to any Jove Observatory.
Unless system scanning is seen as an act of aggression.
There should be some kind of recourse to get CONCORD to clear em out when they become mean to newbies :(
I want vengeance, and then I learned they just infinitely spawn if you attack them :( :( |

Sorry for the loss dude...
I have a whole bunch of lessons that cost me a whole bunch of ISK.
My only advice here is that I would NEVER initiate combat with a Mackinaw. A Skiff, sure, it's tough as nails, a Mac? No way in heck. If they come to me and they are standard NPC's, I'd happily have a drone chew on them. If they are weird sounding NPC's that don't have (insert pirate name here) in front of them, I'd leave them alone and GHOD (Get the Heck Out of Dodge).
It's true, it's a misnomer that HiSec is safe. It is not, and you should be practicing your bail out maneuvers regularly with about anything but a Procurer/Skiff which can usually take a pounding long enough (if Fit correctly) for Concord to arrive and bail you out -AGAINST PLAYERS-. Concord doesn't do garbage against NPC's unless they are right next to them (from what I understand, I've never seen Concord engage NPC's at all).
Tough lesson to learn. You should also have some flight support from your corp mates when flying a Mackinaw.
Be Positive GÇó Change yourself first, New Eden will come later GÇó EVE is Awesome GÇó CCP isn't the enemy GÇó Players are people too GÇó Where're the clothing blueprints GÇó Yeah, I'm still learning this game

I guess not...but perhaps some of your marvellous marijuana would've prepared him?
In any event, the OP has revealed himself to be a horrible homophobe and bigot, and most certainly deserves all that has been inflicted on him (and will undoubtedly be visited upon him in response to his nastiness).

the day I bought my first Mackinaw there was an incursion in my system and since I didnt know what that was I was eager to mine in my new ship.
lost her to sansha rats, only had ship for 10 minutes...

Take it easy on the OP. He's obviously struggling with his own homosexual proclivities. If we could show him the way to loving himself for who he is then he can stop acting out at others and projecting his feelings onto others.
