Maybe those pilots should not be foolish. Putting more than a billion ISK in your freighter has always been kind of a dumb move.

1) either costs a couple hundred million making the 2 catalysts it takes to gank one a huge loss discrepancy in YOUR favor. 2) Or it has such a wimped out defense already that using anything less than a fully tanked procurer is stupid.
This is heartening to hear, but sadly we still find plenty of Hulks and Macks every day. If it makes you feel any better, there is no profit to be made off ganking a T2-fitted exhumer. If a Catalyst costs 10m and two of them are needed to kill a poorly tanked Mack, then I would recover an average of 8m worth of loot from your wreck and 8m of my own wrecks, with a bit more from your T2 salvage if I'm lucky, and maybe some ore if I come back with a Miasmos.
But while you can gank all day with the loss of little in ship costs the exhumer pilot cannot, his / her losses will stack so quickly that.....wait for it.....
He will chose a less expensive and tanked up the butt ship (procurer) so that your losses are more on par with yours and now they can legitimately defend themselves through, "economic defense".
This economic form of pvp is the only real defense that industrialists have. My proof is that:
1) procurers are quickly becoming the highsec ship of choice for mining because it is both cheap and tough, which makes its 'economic' defense high.
2) Most ganks of freighters are freighters carrying over a certain threshold of value as cargo, they have reduced their "economic defense" by making themselves too valuable for the ship's defensive capabilities.
As miners we currently have important decisions available to us, we can chose a high profit ship with reduced, 'economic defense' like the hulk or choose a lower profit but higher 'economically defensible" ship like the procurer. Your proposal simple makes all mining ships easy to kill to benefit you and takes any choice about ships and fittings away from the miner.
Let me finish with this: What if we made it so that if a ship (or group of ships) that were capable of ganking a miner that ship would cost 10x as much as the mining ship AND to further complicate things the mining ship had a choice between putting substantial firepower on his ship or more mining mods but game mechanics so favored firepower over mining mods that virtually every encounter between a ganker and a miner would end in the miners favor. These game mechanics reversed are what miners face everyday and we arent whining that your gank ships be nerfed, increased in cost or any other such change just to benefit our own petty self interests.
Yawn,-á I'm right as usual. The predictability kinda gets boring really.

I would argue you don't have to be hyper vigilant to avoid being ganked most of the time. Keep local open and look at it, use alt-a to so you can see if somebody new comes in. Also, look for systems that CODE. does not frequent as much. They do exist. And if somebody lands in your belt align out, and consider keeping your ship in motion, a moving target is harder to hit. My guess is these moderate precautions will help you avoid ganks better than most. It is a case of not out running the bear, just out running the other miners...let the bear eat them.
Um that all sounds hauntingly like hyper vigilance......

So then you champion closing local, ignoring the overview and forget about any intel on the system you plan to work in?

When he refers to "actual combat" he means consensual PvP. He'll no doubt tell us that he doesn't have a killboard history because Doc Fury is a forum alt, and he will decline to name his PvP character. |

Interaction as a term means that two people do something with each other actively. There are no "types of interaction", only "ways of interacting with each other".
Interaction demands presence, physical or not. It can even be over longer time-frames, but it demands presence.
Transactions describe an exchange of goods/money. It does not demand interaction.
The interaction with the market interface leads to a transactions of goods/isk with another player. The two of them are never actively interacting with each other.

Your evidence supports the "economic defense" theory quite well. I have definitely observed an increase in Procurer use. Like someone mentioned above, you don't have to outrun the bear, just the guy behind you. To be clear though, I am not the one proposing the game changes in the OP, and the changes don't make Procs and Skiffs any easier to kill.
As for the hypothetical, there is a long history of Carebears demanding nerfs to highsec aggression, including EHP buffs, changes to CONCORD, the inability to reship with a criminal timer, AWOXing nerfs, can flipping, removal of insurance for criminal ships, etc. |

What is it with "code" and "afk miners" fixation, ok lets put legs on this beast;
Code; hi miner.
Miner, hello.
Ok...odd silence as they both wonder what else to say...
Code, What are you up too?
Miner, mining.
What is there to say???
Seriously 'code' what do you people want from miners or anybody, why at this point would any miner afk or otherwise want to interact with 'code' when your there to play the way you do, you are there to destroy their barges and exhumers this is like slapping someone then expecting friendships...makes no sense, code is so crazed about what they do you have outside websites dedicated to your deeds, the code doesn't want interaction, nor do they want "prices" to go up for ores, if prices go up for ores then prices go up for everything, ores are the base starting point for everything.
When I stopped playing a DRAKE sold for about 25 mil, now a few years later they are over 50 mil, yet the price of veld was about 12 ISK and today it is ~14 to 15 ISK per unit...a marginal increase at best.
Today I have been to belts, they are empty, many hubs that used to boast 75 people today I notice only average about 15 people, JITA use to be so jammed pack getting in used to be an issue...now its never a problem, a raven that used to cost me 125 mil ISK is over 200 mil ISK, plex when I first seen it sold for about 125 mil ISK, today billions, yet price for ore is only marginally higher...please explain this, the prices have gone up because miners and industrialist have left the game, the prices for ore are being set by forces that code is not looking at, As I run around in my exploration ship and scan I also do directional scans to see what's out there...the most mining ships I ever see are Venture and the most I've seen in one system is 5....in a noob system.
I absolutely disagree that 'miners' are the problems of the market, the market is stagnant for ores and high for ships, hell I built an incurses because buying one would have been a rip off, an Iteron V was about nine hundred thousand ISK, today about 2 mil ISK, industrial ships are stinkers for the cost increase in comparison to combat ships, sure procurer and other barges have gone up but that is only because they can produce ISK in greater quantity other then that industrial ships just don't gain in value as combat ships have...this means only one thing, less industrial pilots/toons in game, have you ever considered that it is the antics of 'code' that has driven away people?
Consider that, I'm not saying ganking ships shouldn't happen in high sec but to understand the eve economy and the background environment that drives it, less players less demand from a segment of players that are missing, miners, industrialist, casual players, higher prices for combat ships means someone is building them because they are in demand.
Anyway I've waffled on far too long. |

CCP Fozzie wrote:For a bit of insight into the current usage of the top 7 mining ships, here's the breakdown of mining yield by volume (last 90 days including ore, ice, and gas): Retriever: 23% Mackinaw: 22% Hulk: 21% Skiff: 14% Procurer: 8% Covetor: 7% Venture: 4% Other: 1%
CCP's statisics directly contravene your reference to the Procurer and Skiff. Electing a tanked option has a lower yield, lower ore capacity and lower strip range. So the trade-off in performance is there.
Lawrence Lawton wrote:the pilots make use of NPC corps which are immune to wardecs. These fleets run all day every day with the benefit of a CONCORD response.
Without a corp, a player has a 11% tax. Is unable to anchor a POS, and will not be able to own the forthcoming Industrial Array. Cannot have a Player Owned Custom Office. Again another trade-off, accepting ongoing income lost to NPC or having to renumerate another player for industrial process.
Lawrence Lawton wrote:The effects:
- The markets are depressed by a flood of ore and ice, and there is an incentive to compete with even more AFK mining.
- The value of mining outside of highsec is reduced, because it is often more practical to import compressed Veldspar and Scordite from Highsec for things like capital construction.
- Player interactions are rare. A prospective miner who visits a belt and tries to interact with the local population is met with a wall of silence.
The removal of IsBoxer significantly reduced bulk mining fleets.
I would direct you into the thread discussing the November boost mechanic changes. Considering the number of posts making reference to the Rorqual, mining does occur outside of high-sec. Mining is an action which not only provides needed minerals, but also serves in Sov for the defence index. A new high tier mining drone is being introduced for use exclusive to the Rorqual. Increased incentive for non-HighSec mining.
And what is wrong with being paranoid?
Lawrence Lawton wrote:The New Order and CODE. work to manually rebalance the risk:reward ratio of Highsec mining using the only tactic available: suicide ganking. It is due to our efforts over the past four years that the AFK mining has been moderately curtailed, and that many AFK miners have been forced into Skiffs and Procurers. If miners have been "forced into Skiffs and Procurers" then it is the complete opposite of saying "ship of choice is the Procurer or Skiff".
System wide boosts are used for Ice Mining - but those days are numbered. It is more common that Orca's are used in the dual role of both boosts and hauling ore. So they are already on grid in high-sec. Currently the information about the Rorqual is incomplete, but null-sec pilots are expressing concern about an anchored pinata. It is welcome the step that mining boosts are no longer invulnerable being a POS shield. |

Miner2: miner7 CODE.: The killboard shows him in a max-yield covetor with cargo rigs when he died. The Code states Gallant tanks his ships to improve their EHP. His permit was revoked.

All we really want is for people to buy permits and follow the Code.

Why is relinquishing items in exchange for isk between 2 players not "doing something actively"?
Agreed that there is presence needed, barring an EULA violation, but that's satisfied by transactions not happening spontaneously without user input from both parties.

Code; hi miner.
Miner, hello.
Ok...odd silence as they both wonder what else to say...
Code, What are you up too?
Miner, mining.
What is there to say??? It's spelled CODE. with capitalization and a period. Let me walk you through a typical conversation: (censored): EVE System > Channel changed to Local : [system] CODE.: Attention miners of [system]. This system is patrolled by the New Order and permits are required for operation. They cost 10m ISK and last for a year. Convo me to buy one. Miner1: oo codie scum in system Miner2: no permit minning is free Miner4: Pirates get out! [Miners 4,5,6,7 dock up] CODE.: Miner3 are you at your keyboard? CODE.: Kill: Miner3 (Retriever) Kill: Miner3 (Capsule) No Permit, AFK Miner1: miner3 was caring for his sick cat for a minute and u shot him coward! Miner2: lol u cant shot a ship that shots back CODE.: This is James 315 territory. Permits are required or risk gank. The Code Miner4: James was baned Miner1: ur scared to shoot me CODE.: Kill: Miner1 (Procurer) No Permit CODE.: James 315 pays my salary. Miner1: no fair! scum hisec is free Miner4: slave Miner2: my corpie had a permit and u shot him neway scam scam CODE.: What is his name? Miner2: miner7 CODE.: The killboard shows him in a max-yield covetor with cargo rigs when he died. The Code states Gallant tanks his ships to improve their EHP. His permit was revoked. Miner2: lol permit scam dont buy! dont need it CODE.: ... All we really want is for people to buy permits and follow the Code.
So there you go, you just admitted that all those AFK "miners" infecting the roids that the majority docked up and the lone AFK'er gets ganked, by your own words you admit that AFK is not a problem as the miners run away, man what can I say, except sorry for you.

Big words and serious BS aside, if you think my three Skiffs are running AFK then take your shot, and that's if I'm even there when you get there. The only Skiffs I ever lost was in lo-sec and even then I was in Super Stupid mode, should've had Prospects instead. I do a lot of mining 'cause my other stuff gets blowed up a lot, and I either buy and fit or turn the minerals over to my factory alt. Either way it's lots of fun and although I'm now in a real quiet system with few miners and ne'er a peep from the little Code boys I can remember when it was great fun CodeBumping.

I admit nothing. I'm not on trial here. That convo is an example of a group of small time miners, and was intended to be humorous. |

There is no such thing as 'non-consensual PvP' in EVE.
You explicitly agree to participate in PvP, in all its many, varied and obtuse forms, the instant you Undock from a station.
