Then my mate said I should come back and start playing again. I grudgingly agreed to give it another go and see if the game had improved.
So... 3 days in, I've got my mining barge up and running. All good. I hop on over to a *cough* "safe" space Asteroid belt in 0.8 sec. 0.8 sec.... Not some crappy low sec. 0.8....
All is good for a while until suddenly out of nowhere, I notice warning lights and sirens go off.
Within half a secon, my shields and armour are gone and never enough time to hop back to the station.
Boom.
Shortly after that, the police finally decide to turn up and blow the idiot griefer up.
What for? There was really no point for this idiot to do this other than to just cause someone else problems. The fact that he had a 500,000,000 bounty on him says plenty, I guess.
Yep. Turns out Eve hasn't got any better.
Bit of a shame, really.
:-(
This is an odd story that I am calling BS on. Below is a list of reasons why with number 4 being the most obvious.
1. The latest kill on your board was from 2 days ago while the next was from a few days ago - Ok, everything lines up here.
2. The mining barge you were in was setup with ZERO tank (no rigs either) and for max yield. Also, it was a retreiver (known to have one of the worst tanks for barges). - Overall, you look like you were just begging to get hit.
3. Your statement "All is good for a while until suddenly out of nowhere," seems to imply you were mining AFK. At the very least, you did not have your overview properly setup to see the ship come on grid. Nor did you have dscan up to see if ships were coming in (and don't give us that crap about not wanting to click the dscan button. There is a hotkey for it you can abuse to no end now.)
4. The loss mail was in a 0.5 system (Diromitur to be precise). I could accept that you may have mistyped 0.5 as 0.8 in you op, but I do not buy that you mistyped it three times. Anyways, a quick check of the killboard in this system shows that the same corp/alliance/toons gank there with some regularity.
In the end, you jumped into the shallow end of the pool that is Eve thinking it was safe, but failed to realize that there is no shallow end and there are sharks everywhere. |
