A few things before you go (perhaps I can clarify a few things):
- What do you consider / understand to be a "safe area." (I ask because I am willing to bet you do not have the correct information... or not all of info you need at the very least).
- How was your ship fit? This can make a world of difference.
- Did you train as quickly as possible to use a bigger ship? This could be another factor. Just because you can fly it, it does not mean you can fly it "effectively."
- What system did you get killed in? What killed you? I cannot find any killmail under your name... so there is no information anyone can examine. Even a simple screenshot of your death in your character sheet will provide critical information that we can interpret.

Forget what you have learned in other MMOs as 90% of the things you learned in them will not help you here.
There is no "best ship." Bigger ships do not have a clear cut advantage against smaller ships. In fact, they have some disadvantages. Your ship will not respawn. Ever. Corporations tend to recruit you less on what you can fly and equip and more on your mentality.

But we don't believe in "coddling" here. We believe in "teaching" and "trail by fire."
So upon request, we will provide you with a mountain of information, tips, advice, and sometimes even free stuff... but we expect you to use your own cunning to figure out how to apply said information.
STEREODOG Rules wrote:I can understand being attacked in red or orange zones as there is fair warning but the game was not clear that the guardians will not protect you in highsec areas from veterans who troll. There are no "guardians" in the game. At all.
The NPCs in high-sec are there for purely punitive reasons. A player's safety rests entirely upon his or her shoulders.
And with information and experience, you can increase your safety by a large margin (but it will never be absolute, because nothing in EVE ever is "absolute").

STEREODOG Rules wrote:My ingame name is the same as my avatar STEREODOG Rules I was jumping through Kassigainen on auto pilot towards Jita to get a Large cap charger 2 for my Hyperion on 2106/11/26 18:23 when I was attacked and killed. I checked the system and your corporation on zkillboard.
Your name is not listed anywhere.
There are only a few ways to explain this:
- you may have been killed by NPCs, not players. NPCs do not produce killmails. Were any of the people who killed have the terms "Seeker" or "Drifter" or "Tyranis" by any chance?
- neither your, nor your attacker, or your corporation, or your attacker's corporation has an killmail API set up. While this is a possibility, the odds of this being the case are rare (as hunter-killers like their killboards).
- you were on a different character
- there is some kind of extreme time delay going on here. Perhaps a screenshot of the kill may be faster? Double click the kill on your character sheet, save the picture, and post it on Imgur.
Quote:zkillboard is only showing 3 ships and 3 pod kills in Kassigainen today, and nothing for a few days prior. Is it possible that the OP was somehow KOS to Caldari due to not being selective with missions? That's another possibility.
NPCs do not interfere with the activities of other NPCs.

I was not doing any mission - I was just going to get a part for my ship and was on auto pilot so I did not attack anyone. I tried to get away as soon as I was shot but was webified. Okay... what is your standing with the Caldari?
I am thinking it is more than likely that the OP ran afoul of the NPCs.
Also... as a general rule of thumb; do not trust the autopilot. Terrible things happen when you do.

Check out this thread: "How did you Veterans start?"
It is a collection of stories from players on how they started and advanced through the game. You will find that pretty much every person in EVE has suffered from some kind of derpy death that was fully preventable.
Consider it a badge of honor. A... "hazing ritual," if you will.

Eve tells me something different. She was not impressed.
