so, happily flying my iteron IV through high sec, a .8 system. I go to warp to the next gate, next thing i know i am popped by a myrmidon, suicided on.
I lost 600mil. My total assets come to around 1bil. now 400mil.
HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN!?
WHAT WAS CONCORD DOING?
Is this an exploit? To completely ruin another player's 2 months hard work in a supposedly safe part of the game, surrounded by POLICE. EVERYWHERE.
Is there any way i can get my stuff back? This has completely ruined eve for me, i'm not sure if i'm going to renew my industrial account because i'm not sure if it's worth my time to build that cash back up.

In my first 2months of eve, 100mil was an unreachable sum for me...
Yet your making billions in your first months? Stop complaining.

Not an exploit, just more people realising that "safe" space isn't as safe as people expect it to be...
Harsh, but true, more people are taking advantage of the people that think a high number in that sec-status field makes them invulnerable. It isn't, it never was, it never will be.

My problem is the fact that i was killed in high sec surrounded by police. Not how much i lost.

Maybe you weren't as good at it as i am.
what do you mean 400mil is enough for an empire? I'm saving my way towards a tech 2 BPO, those are billions each.

Like in the real world, law enforcers often arrive too late at the scene of the crime, and even though they able to punish the criminal, they can't always prevent the crime.

Are we going to have these threads every day? I seriously think this is being done by a few alt characters who wants to drive their agenda on the forums, and make it look like a lot of players are being suicided.
And if its not... and you really are genuine - welcome to Eve. Hope you've learned your lesson. You are not safe anywhere in Eve, just like in real life.

Police exist solely to pop the ships of those who attack you, not to save you. There is no "safe" space. Sec rating on a system merely is an indicator of how rapidly the police show up to kill the aggressor. The police don't care about your cargo or your losses, and they aren't recoverable unless an exploit was used. If it was a Myrmidon against your T1 industrial, doesn't sound like you have much of a case for an exploit.

I'm afraid there is nothing you can do, highsec isn't supposed to be completely safe and suicide attacks for loot are entirely allowed.
A lot of what your going to hear below this post is going to be people telling you the ingame means to avoid this do exist, such as using T2 haulers, scouts, courier contracts, not using autopilot, ECM, etc (and probably most importantly other people)
I've known other people who have had this happen to them, its not so bad and you'll be able to rebuild if you choose to do so.

I guess you'll have to be more careful, in future, and not load all of your assets into one ship......people scan you, and see enough ISK-worth inside your cargo-hold, you WILL be suicide-ganked in Empire......end of story, Empire is safe no longer (not that it ever was, just very few people realised what could be done).

The person who attacked you lost his stuff too. His pet cat might have stepped on the keys and shot u by mistake.
You should feel sorry for him as well.

When you buy your BPO, realise where the game is headed, and cry yourself to sleep for a week, can I have your stuff?

What i fail to see is how this happens.
WArp to zero, aligning, etc...i've never lost a hauler and i move stuff around 0.0->empire all alike.
Heck, the other day i moved 10 ships from 0.0 to highsec and lost one vengeance due to not knowing all the game mechanics concerning gates.
Always boggles me how someone can lose a hauler in highsec, just, how does it happen? 
So yeah, i have a problem with being serious, but it's the almost smallest problem i have. |

How can someone be so bright that they earned 1 billion ISK within their first two months ingame, but still so clueless not to understand the simple mechanics of EVE? That is what I am asking myself..

That's your fault for flying with so much in such a rubbish ship.
and yes fly a transport ship. Much more effective. Blockade Runner is good for transporting stuff around.
Also interceptors for the odd 1 or 2 units of officer or deadspace.

Actually it's surprisingly simple. I earned my first billion in a similar time frame through the market system and industry, which left me somewhat sheltered from the pew-pew side of EVE. Thankfully however, I did read the forums to keep myself appraised of those things which I hadn't dealt with myself, so as to be prepared. |

Yes, this is the right attitude. Right tool for the job and all. While an industrial is capable of carrying large volumes of stuff, it's completely unsuitable for carrying large volumes of valuable stuff. That's what the transports / blockade runners are for, and a careful analysys of profit will tell you what is worth or not worth transporting in large ammounts. Use the smaller blockade runners for lower volume high value, and the larger transports for large volume / medium value. Biggest thing is that you learned from your experience, and will hopefully, not make the same mistake again. -----

Still curious on how this happens.
Either really big fleet shoots you really fast?
Or there's a "ganksquad" on the gate after you jump in...? 
Unless these incidents are AFK hauling.
So yeah, i have a problem with being serious, but it's the almost smallest problem i have. |
