You thought you might pay... but you didn't buy a permit.

You don't want to pvp and a permit was offered to you so you wouldn't have to, as much anyway... and you didn't buy a permit.

You were aware of the Code and the consequences of violating it... and you didn't buy a permit.

You bothered to write your rather long complaint about your real life problems with not having a permit... and you didn't buy a permit.

You've spelled out your vision of a game where you have some protection from CODE. ... and you didn't buy a permit.

Why, in the end, have you not bought a permit?

Dunno how can you veterans still click on these threads. I just arrived, but already bored with it's countless iterations.

Ok, I admit, some fellows post 'em in a more amusing way.

There are many Ganker corps out there extorting money from Miners, for Mining in the Area, wherever that may be.

They want Miners to "Buy" a " Permit" from them, which is NO guarantee that you will not be attacked.

These People should be stopped from extorting ISK from people to Mine.

Mining is a part of the game and does not need to be placed under a bounty situation for those whom do not want to fight or pay for mining.

Mining is free apart from buying the ships to mine with.

YO loser! code is dead...MOVE ON already

you need minerals to build ships and if no ships are built there are none to sell.

yea not good with writing. it makes sense that npcs will be the future miners. oh well.. and who said I was whining? 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

I like this game and most of the people in it.. but it seems that I cant unwind in it anymore like I used to.

2mm EHP plus 3mm active tank. 1500 dps. Pulls in 1.2mm m3 am hour. Never once ganked on 10 years by code. Must have been grandfathered into that permit...

The trick wee miners is to go mine where they are afraid to go.. which would be anywhere people would be shooting back.

And yes, the codes color of choice is yellow.

Hi all.
I'm perfectly ok with any kind of gank in the game, with tear collectors and highsec kills (I really appreciate the efforts to actually kill players in highsec, is really neat), my only concern about this topic is "bumping".

Bumping is really "ugly" as mechanic, looking at a ship ramming another and see it jumping back, oh my God that's really ugly in a game where everything is such a perfect view.
Actually I've read a blog entry from CCP in where they explain that "bumping" is not an exploit, but I wtrongly hope that this very mechanic will be somehow revisited because I cannot stay in an strongly epic atmosphere like EVE and see this ugliness around:

Kill the bumper instead of crying on the forums?

No tears here, sorry. (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.

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...

And I'll bet every other null bloc would be utterly delighted by the prospect of a dozen bees in inties being able to kamikaze a super off the field. :-)

Oooo... Suicide bumping. Now THAT would be interesting. I suspect, though, that it would only become yet another "arguing" point for those who can't seem to grasp the concept of the game.

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.

Sorry if I've touched you somehow.

Sorry if I've touched you somehow.

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?
