Like many other ways of living reasonably safely in Highsec, the purchase of a Permit is a no-brainer. You won't be ganked by the New Order - if you remain Code-compliant - and you may considerably lower your risk of being ganked by others if you follow the advice given out by many of my comrades-in-arms.
It staggers me that, no matter how much information and how many tools CCP and others provide, some citizens of Highsec just refuse to take any of it on board. And these are typically the folks who shout the loudest when the inevitable happens.
Despite the old NPE being a sort of 'Extreme Vetting' process, they still got through, but I think we all did it, because it was all there was! Now it's easier, and I suspect many of the Isk-grinding rabble will simply ignore most of it because there are plenty of guides out there about how to maximise your AFK-mining skills while being completely oblivious to the rest of the game.
Such people always remind me of race horses wearing blinkers (Am. blinders), except that race horses have a nobility about their bearing which is entirely absent from that of the Highsec miner. |

it seems to me that a measured response could be to re-balance the defensive capability of mining ships.
Allow miners to fly ships that up the cost for suicide ganking to a significant ratio of the cost of the mining ship. This would mean mining capability is sacrificed of course. Maybe this ends up costing more than the protection money. That should be an option in the game imo.
Minittor, it isn't the game or its mechanics that need to change; it's the bloody miners.

You'd spend all that on a barge and forgo a measly 10 million for a Permit? That's Isk-grubbing miserliness right there, miner.
I know it's going to be difficult for you to understand, but I tell you that there will be more rejoicing in MinerBumping over one miner who repents than over 99 Code compliants who've no need of repentance.
It's not about the money, miner; it's about the Code.

My dear, if I could 'see below' I might better be able to judge whether the prize is worth such significant lingual investment.
I'm certainly able to judge that your contributions to the C&P sub-forum thus far have done nothing to persuade me that such investment would - on the whole - be worth the effort.
A forum of any sort usually exists for the exchange of ideas and opinions rather than bodily fluids. You might reflect on that and amend your behaviour accordingly.
Or, of course, you might not.

Well some miners dont think the permit stops you from ganking them. There is always excuse to gank a miner. Fit thats not correct, mining like a bot whatever. Your permit would be okay and worth the 10mil if it would prevent future ganks, but however as it does not many thinks it isnt worth paying for
I bought my Permit on my return to the game, last year, from Salah ad-Din Al-Jawahiri - and have not looked back since. I've never been ganked by a member of the New Order of Highsec (FacPo is a different story......).
I was so impressed that I urged my alts to sign up, and they haven't been ganked either. It's wonderful!

Ah, Dracvlad! You would perhaps have found it more surprising had you the time to check my Corp History, but I'll save you the bother - we're all strapped for time these days.

'Twas but a jest, in order to provide relief from some work I'm doing and which is also undertaken at the PC. It's a bad practice, for it often means I spend too long in front of screens, against all sensible advice.
Still, it is true that I've a Permit and haven't been ganked. All the miners and other rebellious carebears have to do is persuade the New Order to blue them permanently.
A cinch!

Such an odd word; one hardly hears it nowadays, especially from the under-85s.
My ex-girlfriend's mother used to use it, especially when describing someone she thought foolish, in an 'I'm-better-than-you' sort of way. She regarded herself as a dyed in the wool middle-class conservative, but her grip on conservatism was fragile, for she'd acquired it second-hand, so to speak, from a book written in 1930 by a radical socialist, whose aim was actually to describe the beast in such harsh terms that anyone reading his words would be instantly converted in the opposite direction. Anyone of reasonable intellect, that is.
I checked with Google, and the word seems to have enjoyed its heyday in the early and late 19th Century.
Thank you for your efforts in attempting a local revival; I wish you every success! |

With this in mind go back and read some older posts looking for this word. You probably won't be surprised where it leads
Thanks Noragen, I did as you suggested. It's a more popular word than I thought - although its employment is restricted to - shall we say - no; better to remain silent, I think.
It isn't a word I could ever, ever use, under any circumstances, of any person, living or dead. My mouth/pen just won't allow me to do so.
O well, it momentarily livened up an otherwise weighty working Sunday.

Apart from your 'stream of consciousness' style (seriously, use paragraphs where you can StarVex), I also find it hard going to answer these same tired points made by you and other whiners.
I wouldn't worry though; eventually, all mining will be done by NPCs - that's why CCP is trialling it now - and the supply side will thus be handled by the new AI they're developing. Isn't it wonderful?! We'll be able to switch our attention from AFK miners to AFK haulers, Autopiloters, and other Highsec ne'er-do-wells.
Marvellous!

I get where yall are coming from.. the tears are nice I will admit. but at least tone some of the cultism down though seriously it reminds me of children of the corn
The message has to be wrapped in a recognisable package in order for the miners to 'get it'. They don't like the package much either; but (eventually, by hook or by Void), they get it.
If the New Order of Highsec is a cult, it's a very odd one. You're free to leave and join at any point, there's no subscription - indeed, your running costs are reimbursed! - and no records whatsoever are kept. The Order does have a charismatic leader, that I grant you. Ghandi was a charismatic leader, but I'd hardly describe his party and followers as members of a 'cult'.
I apologise for calling you a whiner; there appeared to me to be the air of complaint about your post. Clearly, I was in error!
EDIT: Grammar; instrumental case.

It happens, StarVex, and to very many people. Take a break; go and do the stuff you like to do. Whatever you do, stay away from EVE. I can't stress that enough. Get it right out of your system. You'll know it's working when RL starts to throw you interesting alternatives.
If that doesn't happen, and you find RL as much of a grind as EVE was, then the problem is not EVE, and the solution lies elsewhere. I wish you the best of luck; and I'm being sincere.

(but I can sense some salt from you?) try to read my sentences, I know my english isn't perfect, but I bet you got the sense. As I've already explained, I feel the bumping thingy a little "ugly" to see, this is a game with big starships, lasers, missiles, megainfernorockets... and bumping...that's the anti-epicness IMHO. maybe a better mechanic for bumping (and some visuals) is needed to maintain the epic level of the game at the same state as other things in EVE.
What you're talking about has been discussed before. Surprise, surprise.
The way collisions are handled in EVE is no less 'realistic' than the way other features are handled; dare I suggest that 'point-and-click' is hardly a technological innovation...
I suspect that it would be just too much work to change the mechanic - even if there were an appetite for doing so.
At some point, if bumping is proven to be in need of a change, CCP will do it, and ask for no one's 'by your leave..' Let's cross that bridge when we come to it.
You will, however, have to explain how crashing into a ship might otherwise work. Pay special attention to whether both vessels are in motion when the collision happens, or whether the 'target' is stationary. Calculate the relative speeds and trajectories in order to display the severity of any damage which might occur. Ask the Art Dept to create damage workups for each ship in the game. How would 10% damage to the front off-side point of a Retriever piloted by someone with only basic shield-tanking skills be represented - in colour . Then multiply that visual damage profile for ships with SKINS; a new profile for each SKIN. Spaceships move very quickly; on collision, might not both vessels simply explode (given the high energy amounts locked within them)? I suppose that might start a new playstyle of suicide-bumping...
Then start your coding...
Simple, really.

To touch me, you must first catch me!
No, no. You displayed what I took to be naivety, given that bumping has been discussed to death - in all its aspects. No one begrudges you your opinion; however, don't be surprised if it isn't wholeheartedly embraced by an adoring public, in raptures at your originality and hearing it for the first time.
The Crime and Punishment sub-forum presents a challenging environment to the unwary. Don't be unwary.
I don't need to see EVE's code. The physics of bumping were also discussed - along with the other goodies you clearly missed. It's not your fault I suppose if you missed the thread/s, but it wouldn't hurt, would it, to at least try to discover whether your opinion was likely to spark interest or not. Of course, you may not care whether or not it does so.
Have you submitted your thoughts and opinions to the Player Features & Ideas sub-forum?
You round off your mini-sulk with 'it was just my opinion, nothing more'. Young man; opinions matter. That is, informed and well-formed opinions matter.
D'you know, I've completely forgotten what this is all about. Better stop there, Sasha....

Never apologise to a Codie, just realise they are sensitive petals who wail at the smallest prick ( not you ). The locals here usually ignore their circle jerk posts to each other. They have low self esteem from a cloning accident that denied them reproductive organs. The same cloning mistake gave them sub par brains, only able to achieve repetitive botting tasks such as ganking. I have studied these pathetic organisms by numerous biopsy's on their podded corpses. Some superior entities (by comparison) have been able to break free of their cult like environment. Establishing their own care facility and activities, well done to the Kusions for this minor achievement. Baby steps, baby steps! James315 started out as their carer. As time went by and the pressures of running such a large care facility struck, he had a break-down. Whilst on a battery of cheap medications supplied by the Angel Cartel James315 had visions; "Why be just a low paid long suffering carer surrounded by bots - I will be the Organ Grinder and these bots can be my unpaid monkeys." So you see Peorthr, the locals here NEVER take a Codie seriously. We nod and wink at them, occasionally pod them for sport , but we NEVER take them seriously. Help explain? That is like, so many words for a group you don't take seriously. I'm certain Sasha has a more eloquently worded statement to this effect, but sometimes I prefer brevity. You care. A lot.
Vipsan is blocked, CR; I'm just too tired these days to tease out the sense from the dross. I did notice, however, an error.
