This is how you sound right now, OP. Just a heads up.

And? Don't you realise that spiteful troll comments like that just make you look pathetic?

Herzog Wolfhammer wrote:Quick question you guys.
I can confirm that 0.0 is very empty in a lot of places. I use wormholes to find those places and I won't see anybody else for days at a time, even a week on two expeditions.
But I use a Cyclone fit for the task. Poorly fit, I must add.
Rarely have I been hunted successfully, but I have been hunted but more for causing bots to dock up than anything else, smacktalk in Russian sold seperately.
My question:
If a noob or lone wolf in the middle of nowhere with a pod or cruiser/BC or whatever is not a big deal and would not garner much attention, what would happen if said pilot was flying a cyno-capable SB?
Does the ship type matter then?
I am not planning of sneaking about in an SB (crappy exploration ships - not enough slots for all that stuff) but I would expect that what a person is flying would certainly make a difference.
Single targets are usually ignored if they don't get caught at a gate camp, til they demonstrate enough of a threat to make it worth the effort of hunting them down(usually by killing ratters/doing hotdrops).
Do you realize how hard it is to find someone who safed up, cloaked, and went afk?
0.0 is not safe, tho deep in blue territory is relatively safer because of the odds of someone getting caught in a random gate camp on the way there. We all know this, and behave accordingly(get safe if a hostile comes in til ID'd or you decide they are afk cloaking) and if someone is a problem, camps start going up, and bait starts coming out of hangars.
Had a WN. gate camp in deklein for at least a day and a half what no one bothered to clear... to much effort 
If you are no threat to sov, the only people who will react to you are the ones you annoy. If you are a threat to sov, expect a fleet t be waiting when the RF timer expires waiting to defend.

I wasn't trolling, just trying to protect your integrity. By the way, that's quite the opposite of that word you're using "spiteful".
Wouldn't you rather antagonize the alliance that takes it's attention and resources from other fronts to kill a pod flying in a backwater system than the alliance that ignores such small fry?

I personally love making people fly around in pods after blowing up their shoo mostly because of two reasons. Reason one, they no longer pose a threat to my alliance as long as they're in that pod and stuck. Reason two, because if we simply leave them in a pod, the only way out of my space is to pod themself. Infinitely more funny if you ask me. With me killing them, they can at least blame me. If they have to pod themselves though, they have only themselves to blame. |

a lot of people ignore pods as they are looking better targets. Try flying through 0.0 at peak US/EU time-zones in a carrier and see if you get ignored. 
Also, you may have just gotten lucky and flown through empty systems. We fly through empty systems all the time looking for fights

Where as spiteful troll thread are soooooo much better and in no way make you look pathetic. 
As already suggested, instead of being a tool and rolling up in a pod that no-one will care about, bring a bunch of friends and see what happens. I think you will be pleasantly surprised how quickly 'empty' systems fill up all of a sudden.  |

I would like to see the OP take down that TCU in his pics, otherwise, what is there to defend?
So when I came home to my castle yesterday I found a note. It said:
"Hey castle dude you suck ass, I came to your castle this morning and there was no one to defend it. I took a picture of your flag waving above your castle and no one could stop me, GOD you are so bad you shouldn't even own this castle.
Signed
some midget"
Obviously this person did some real damage to my castle and I should return immediately to deal with this immense threat

I used to kill every neut pod I saw in null, then I took an arrow to the knee.
Pods in null aren't worth the five seconds it takes to lock and F1. Come back in a Rifter, you'll at least get a second glance.
EDIT: It's worth noting for further hilarity that in both screenshots, OP is the only one in local. |

Yeah, people ignore solo ships a lot. Usually someone will scan them down, and fail (because it is cloaked) and that's that.
Sure, you could log in after 1-3 hours and then hotdrop a bunch of titans right into your faces. But that would be ~good fights~ and soon enough you'd get a welcoming party. Or you could be like a certain Vagabond who came around and tried to gank a domi twice and got chased off. Also attacked a ratting fleet (yes, fleets of newbies in drakes) and also ran off.
But please, do hotdrop a carrier in if you want attention. I need to get on some carrier killmails. |

I don't really see why OP links this issue to GSF - it's the same pretty much everywhere.
In sov space the anom nerf has centralized PvE in very few systems (which were already good pre-Dominion).
In NPC 0.0 (where I currently live) things are a little more spread out but even then only a handful of systems in the whole region (sadly no NPC home region) have decent truesec and/or many belts, maybe 15% of all systems are worth ratting in. The majority of people I play with make their money on high-sec alts.
After downtime people do some exploration but all good sites have been done long before euro prime.
Mining is risky & boring but if it's done, then it is limited again to very few systems that actually have the best ores (grav sites are nice but cumbersome) and that are located in an area which can be secured reasonably.
Mission agents are (again!) concentrated in only a handful of systems (about 2 on average?) per region.
I don't really see what you actually expect people to do in all the worthless space?
How much time are they supposed to spend farming a system with 2 belts and no outpost that is directly bordering a conflict area? (Why didn't you make a screenshot next door, in RG9?)
Why are they supposed to camp there for hours waiting for some lonely pod passing through?
And how did you threaten their space in a way that should have elicited some sort of response?
You experienced that getting into 0.0 is not too hard, that moving around in 0.0 is really easy and that you could probably gank local travellers and/or ninja rat to your heart's content without any substantial reaction.
But somehow you still try to turn this into a whine thread about 0.0 alliances?
You yourself did just prove that they can't prevent you from using "their" space, that they can't and don't lock you out ...
Grab your Falcon and get rolling. |
