Is this about the three Incursion-fit blinged Vindicators that got ganked on acceleration gates? Because that was due to the Incursion FC being a total d*ck with respect to a contest payout on his Twitch live stream.

That's not what I took away from it - what I got is that piracy (etc.) is intended to be more lucrative outside of high-sec. As I don't operate in low or null-sec, I can't comment on whether this is true beyond theorizing that the generally accepted term of "piracy" doesn't really exist in EVE. Or are ships routinely robbed of their cargo and released to continue on their way? (and not in the form of a pod or jump clone)

baltec1 wrote:Ransoms and cargo seizing was a thing for a few years until too many spergs decided to kill them anyway. Once that trust went so did the ransoms. Many low-sec players claim that piracy is alive and well and that ransoms are routinely offered and honored. I contend that this is not the case, and that the prevalence of killmail bragging, joy in shooting blinged ships and pods and extracting as many tears and salt as possible is now standard operating procedure. Or is this perception off?

That being the case, piracy in EVE seems to be dead while griefing seems to be alive and well. It's too bad there isn't a mechanism to reward piracy. Then again, even if there was I'm not sure it would be as "satisfying" for players without any means of bragging about it...

Malcorath Sacerdos wrote:well considering that besides the isk loss for getting concorded and sec loss there is no real loss to ganking its all a calculated risk. is the loss of ships greater then the projected drops? if it is dont gank if the projected drop is greater gank. the only loss is on the part of the ganked.
piracy in a world of imortals. Sure, but no more calculated risk than any other aspect of the game (minimize risk and investment - maximize reward).

Is ganking good for EVE? Probably not? It would be interesting to see the criminal safety removed from high-sec and CONCORD permanently moved to low-sec. This could be offset with an overhaul to wardec mechanics, NPC corporations and the bounty system. You could also make active missions warpable beacons to encourage more player interaction.

At some point we need to have a serious discussion about the use of "there", "they're" and "their"...

Limiting Alpha characters to suspect-only status in high-sec wouldn't be a bad idea.

Jonah Gravenstein wrote:It isn't a good one either.
People have always used alts to gank, before alphas they used trials. Alphas are already down on DPS compared to what could be achieved with a focused skill plan on a trial character, why penalise them further? Except previously they were always paid alts or limited trials.

baltec1 wrote:Its perfectly rational, you just want this nerf because you want to kill ganking. Just like all of your other anti-ganking nerfs you have come up with. At the rate Omega players keep leaving EVE, it may not matter. There's little if any profit to be had in ganking Alphas.

Compare this to.combat ships where you get the option to glass cannon, balanced or brick tank all on the same hull. And you can speed tank, fit Ewart etc as well.
Suffice to say the general design philosophy of industry type ships has flaws. It's not really any different for mining ships. You either fit to be ganked - or you fit to tank.

It must be an incredibly boring job to sit idle at gates and station undocks... repeatedly pinging ships with cargo and ship scans for that "diamond in the rough". Not to mention that Blockade Runners are immune to cargo scans. By the time you factor in lock and scan times, the 30-second window on undocks and safe docking and undocking bookmarks - I wouldn't necessarily say this information is easily or accurately acquired.

Salvos Rhoska wrote:Edit: After you edited your post. -The accuracy and completeness of a scan is an interesting issue, and one which could be favorably adjusted to compensate for more cost/effort/risk in acquiring that data. Sorry, I was stil editing my post when you replied... I'm just saying that it's next-to-impossible to do anything against ships with insta-undock bookmarks since they have a 30-second invulnerability window. By the time you've locked them to make a scan they're already well into warp. The same applies to ships with Covert Ops cloaks or extremely fast align times - you either roll the dice if you get lucky locking them or watch them warp off.

Let's go at this from another angle... Say you were completely safe from criminal activity in 1.0 systems. There are a limited number of L4 agents and belts in 1.0 systems - and these have a significantly lower payout compared to 0.5 or 0.6 systems. How many players would opt for the current "risk" entailed by operating outside of 1.0 systems?

Salvos, I'm writing you off in this thread. You're either trolling everyone or you steadfastly believe in everything you're saying (I'm not sure which is worse). Many (many) players have made good counterarguments but you seem to remain unconvinced. So be it. I'm not going to add anything further to a thread which is going absolutely nowhere.
