2007.12.07 20:55:00
Victim: RhadamanthineSpifflicate Alliance: NONE Corp: School of Applied Knowledge Destroyed: Condor System: Alikara Security: 0.7 Damage Taken: 843
Involved parties:
Name: Blink00 (laid the final blow) Security: 3.6 Alliance: NONE Corp: SPECTRE Ops Ship: Purifier Weapon: Caldari Navy Paradise Cruise Missile Damage Done: 843
Destroyed items:
Vepas' Modified Cruise Missile Launcher, Qty: 2 (Cargo)
As you can see, the loss occurred in Alikara empire 0.7 while I was autopilot flying through secure space and had to go to the toilet. I came back to find my ship gone and me pod bobbing in space.
I was carrying 2 x vepas cruise missile launchers in my cargohold which were destroyed.
There is a lot of value in EVE with regard to practicing skills in game that work well in real life as well. Business, research, marketing, budgeting, sales... because the list goes on and on there is very real skill training involved in playing EVE. I understand that a significant number of players are in it for the thrill and the kill of pvp, but must everyone always be forced into pvp?
EVE established a venue for pvp and one for pve and grey areas where the safe and secure nature of empire bordered on the lawless lands where players had to accept the fact that there was risk associated with entering these areas.
The risk associated with systems that allow for pvp are very real and act as a significant deterrent for many (and most certainly inspire the players to take precautions). The risk associated with suicide gank squad activity in secure empire space are not significant enough of a deterrent. The players who participate in suicide ganking are risking very little while padding their kill stats and earning notoriety.
We don't force the pvpers to suffer through agonizing hours of mining, trade or manufacturing and sales to earn isk to play this game. They can fight and earn isk. They get to play the game the way they want to. This privilege is not afforded those of us who would like to experience EVE content without engaging in PVP when we chose to. Why am I expected to always accept the reality of PVP any where, any time? The penalty, the risk to the empire ganker is not enough to deter the behaviour. In game I am powerless to recover my losses but to adopt pvp and take further risk to attempt to get back what was taken from me unlawfully.
If I am destroyed in empire and the player who destroyed me is blown up, why is my only recourse to participate in pvp? Why shouldn't I be entitled to compensation paid to me by the offending party?
If a player decides to violate secure space rules and destroys my ship unlawfully CCP blows him up and kill rights are given to me, the injured party, but as a person who has never played any other mmorpg and is not anywhere near on par with frequent players of these types of games there is very little chance that pursuing and attempting to act on those rights realistically will only result in further loss for me. Essentially, I am forced to PVP or just eat the loss; no other recourse exists. I'm out my ship, mods, cargo and replacement costs. The offending party earns neg status (which is a badge of honour to many) and losses his ship.
I should be able to drag them before a court and sue them to recover my losses... or by virtue of CCP judgment in destroying their ship guilt should be established and the fine levied. I should be granted compensation. deducted from the player responsible for causing my losses. Activity of alts and new characters should be applied to mains so that people cannot avoid paying by virtue of having no assets. In lieu of this approach and for the time being CCP should reimburse players for losses incurred through unlawful activity where CCP itself acts by destroying the offender.
Thank you for your time,

You have kill rights.

So eve should not be a multifaceted product with gameplay for many different types of players. It is and should always be a place for pvpers to run free and feed off those who don't spend years sharpening their skills in player vs player combat.
There are tons of games for the killer addicts... not many good ones for those who would like to practice real life skills and learn while playing a game.
In real life I am not encouraged to become a vigilante for justice. There are other avenues of recourse. In EVE you folks don't want anything that might level the playing field. You would rather pad your kill stats on carebears and thank CCP for letting you off the hook and giving you the upper hand.
You break the rules you are punished and suffer a loss. The person you attacked should not.

Did not relise Spectre ops were into suicide ganking. Anyhow point is that in a weak ship, anyone can lauch an attack on you for the sake of it.
Eve is a bit like real life. Basically, you got a virtual mugging. What may be handy to note is that strong, tough ships to transport expensive items or somebody may do a suicide attack on you.
I suggest youing a Transport ship or a heavily tanked battleship. I know someone who uses 8 1600 plates and a MWD on his abaddon to warp around (mwd trick lets peopel warp in max 10 seconds).

I accept the reality. I am not a gamer, although I have enjoyed playing this one. I do not have the time to read all the information like so many of you. If I tried to get educated myself on 1 100th of the posts I'd never play the game. I thought I could enjoy myself and practice some real life skills in a cool game.
Obviously, that is not what EVE is about.
In real life I have options. In EVE I am handicapped and surrounded by people who want to keep it that way and exploit their advantage.
Fair enough.

this is soo trolling, but I'll bite it anyways:
In eve, people will shoot you if they have a reason for it. and making your life miserable is a good reason as any other.
so stop running down like a headless chicken, and grab some guns and go shoot someone. If he complains about it, just tell him "hey, any reason is good to shoot at you, and you invaded my personal space. that's good enough reason for me." ---

I don't see how you consider yourself handicapped? EVE is all about freedom, but the cost of freedom is other people having that same freedom.
Recognize that you do not want options or freedom, you want a game where everyone is 'handicapped' to play the same way as you, or if they can play differently are forced to do it away from you.
That is not EVE. -

Not quite. It in fact is almost entirely supportive to pvp type gameplay. You can pvp and never have to experience any other part of the game while making profits and acquiring items and ships; not so for any other style of play. We must always accept the inequity of pvp regardless. If CCP blows you up this is a clear indictment to your behaviour and the victim deserves compensation.
This is not unreasonable

WRONG. 99% of pvpers have to mine, trade, manufacture, rat, or mission to fund their pvp activities. You do NOT make a profit in pvp.

Fair enough.
What happened to you is similar to real life just the same as all the other elements of the game you like. If you're walking around the mall with 5grand in your pocket and the wrong person notices, you're prime target for a can of whoop ass in the parking lot. At least in this instance the cops (concord) cavity searched him before he made off w/ the lewt.
Point being, if you're carrying highly valuable cargo in a ship that is easily killable, you're asking for trouble. It's your own fault for "flashing your money around" that you got mugged.
Also, this is not an exploit, it is intended to be the way it is. If you're able to understand these facts and not paint "GANK ME!! GANK ME!!" on the side of your ship, you'll be much more successful.
If not, then I would suggest you play something else.

Hands up everyone who PvPs regularly with no other source of income than that PvP.
...
Anyway. CONCORD blowing your attacker up is CCPs judgement on the situation, don't try to imply that CONCORD blowing you up means you broke some kind of game rule, because there is a support page which has already been linked to which directly contradicts that.
Accept that carebears and PvPers must live with each other, or gb2/WoW. -

A few things here:
1) I have no idea what the term troll means.
2) This is not a whine. I am not crying about the loss. In fact I laughed and chatted with the players for quite some time after.
3) CCP could improve the deterrent in the way I describe and it would have an impact on those who are exploiting a game mechanic.
4) I am handicapped as an mmorpg non player... I do not have and will never have the speed and skill at game combat, but in the real world fighting is one of my strengths.
5) what I wrote about was merely a suggestion. I have no feelings on this at all. I could care less, but not by much.
6) I already replaced the mods and will be donating others as I have to many fortunate prats in the past.

1. trolling is basically posting something with no real content. 2. If this isnt a whine, what is it then? 3. This is NOT an exploit, if it was, he would be banned, and i would be a high elf with pointy ears 4. RL threats, however, are against the EULA, and if you didn't make a threat, then what does this have to do with internet spaceships? 5. You dont care about this, yet you spend lots of time preparing this post, and commenting on it? 6. If you've replaced them since you have many fortunes, why do you need it replaced by CCP?

this deterrement is good enough as a part of the learning curve that EVE has. It is also dire warning that in EVE, the only one that provides saftety is yourself. CONCORD just provides consequence to whoever breaks the law. ---

The word exploit has a different meaning to gamers... as I said I am not a gamer... exploit means to take advantage and does not imply something wrong.
I do not know what troll means.
I don't but isk I work my ass off and have lost many ships and mods playing this game.
I have no interest in whining... I erroneously thought I could participate in an intelligent discussion on the suggestion but perhaps I should read more of the forums since it is obvious the rooms are not for intelligent discussion but rather insults and accusations when some one brings up something that attacks your precious sensibilities..

Welcome to the eve-o forums. If you had read my response, you would have known what trolling is. Or you could have educated yourself, and used either this great tool called http://www.google.com or http://www.urbandictionary.com.
The reason why this post has had harsh replies is because this post has been done so many times, people just don't want to hear about it any longer, and if your idea does go through, many, many, MANY people will quit eve because this is one of the things that makes eve unique and great.

I appreciate the error I made in carrying those mods in a flimsy ship... I know the loss was my fault. I accept it 100%.
I like the game and, for the most part, the people in it... although there seem to be a lot of people ready to attack behind the SAFETY of their keyboards who wouldn't be so inclined in RL.
this has been fun... Thanks for the good advice and the multiple links to the definitive word on playing it safer in SAFE space.
cheers... and since I like to take calculated risks as well and often venture into those risky areas of the game... and end up in good conversations with the players that have blown my ships up and reaped great mods... some of you may find yourselves locking on to one of my ships.
P.S. I like to turn down the lights just before the hull breaches to get the full effect of my ship exploding

Point well taken... I SHOULD read the forums. Was not aware of the crap posted on this issue.
I tried to read everything that was posted and missed some of the links... I will have to go back because I still don't know what troll is.
Cheers all... I hope you enjoyed the smack down... you folks are good..

Received. Noted that there appears to be a reason for this, as its just an extra star we know nothing about. Thanks for the suggestion though. Over. -

Some parts of EVE are simply unplayable without being afk. And it is quite reasonable to do something better while the ship is flying from lag to lag in the background. So docking is not an option because it is the same lost time as sitting at the keyboard to click warp to zero only because it is not automated as it should be.
If the game were completely designed by all those afk enemies we probably had all the night and day to sit in front of our manufacturing jobs and to click every 2 minutes on some "please proceed" button.

safe space has NEVER been, nor ever will be SAFE, it merely has harsher consequences for breaking the law than low sec, and null sec

I finally was able to go back and read your post Reticenti... I do get it. Thank you.
in response to the threat you alluded to it was not a threat but merely a counter to the label and behaviour of labeling carebears - marginalizing and invalidating a persons opinion based on stereotyping.
like in real life if you are insulting people will respond in kind.
In case you have not noticed I am an avid writer and enjoyed composing and learning here... doesn't have to be a whine

I did say right form the beginning that I this is the first and only game I have ever played... I do not know the terminology or the unique attitudes... to a lay person outsider this community is very hostile and intolerant of those not part of the group.
I have learned from this.
Thank you for your time

The eve-o forums are hostile towards most topics, but mostly because it's open range for people to vent and rant. Try http://www.scrapheap-challenge.com/index.php for a much better eve community. It actually has real mods that mod because they care about the community.

Unique attitudes?!...you screwed up, due to your own ignorance. These are not unique attitudes, it's called common sense.
The only thing you have learned from this..is that your holier than thou attitude is about as much use in a game as it is in real life.

That is spiff licate not spliff... both rhadamanthine and spifflicate are english words whose means you may look up.
it is a contraction.
Please refrain from insults and expressing conjecture as fact.
I trade, mine and manufacture.. from time to time I mission run and have been playing this game for over 3 yrs without ever encountering a gank anywhere but in 0.4 or lower.
Much like an earlier poster I have played this game without encountering pvp except in places that I went knowing it would be there... and have enjoyed that aspect although I always lose the ship and many times woke up a clone.
I spend very little time on the forums and know the things I have done well and not much beyond that... still new to much of this despite years of playing it

Originally by: RhadamanthineSpifflicate So eve should not be a multifaceted product with gameplay for many different types of players. It is and should always be a place for pvpers to run free and feed off those who don't spend years sharpening their skills in player vs player combat.
I don't consider training for Transports a choice remotely related to PVP combat do you? ~~~~~~~~~ Hi. I'm Rock. Make Eve good for rock. Give me scissor arms! |

good point.. i have seen the error in many of the things I have posted... you are quite right... training transpaorts has nothing to do with pvp... the thing was I chose not to fly a big heavy ship because I knew I was hitting the can and didn't want the slow impulse speed trip for the last 15kms... I went for speed... and speed kills if you are also flimsy and not around.. cheers

Get a blockade runner (for caldari, see the "Crane"). They are fast, have good resistances and built in warp core stabilization. ~~~~~~~~~ Hi. I'm Rock. Make Eve good for rock. Give me scissor arms! |

Ever heard of docking up to take a dump? I am simply amazing at the people who expect pvp immunity since they don't want to take part in it. I've taken the time to read some of your previous thoughts on this over the years.
Mostly because at first I couldn't believe a 3 year old player would possibly start a thread as ridiculous as this, and I was expecting to find you were a recently auctioned character.
After just a few quick glances though, it appears you are probably the original player for the account and really do have the carebear stare. And it also appears that you have full knowledge of the dangers of space, and a long standing hatred of people who pvp at will anywhere they wish. Admit it, this is a whine thread, you lost some spendy stuff and you would like the other carebears to come out and scream at the devs in your name to get more "game balance" implemented.

Originally by: RhadamanthineSpifflicate In real life I have options. In EVE I am handicapped and surrounded by people who want to keep it that way and exploit their advantage.
You've got that backwards, mate. If you think real life is anything other than "a competition to be the criminal rather than the victim", then you need to get out more. The difference between EVE and real life is that EVE does have rules.

Sorry for the loss Rhad. **** happens to us all (no matter if we are pvp'ers or pve'ers) from time to time. 
I doubt this little gank will have any major impact on your game experience thou. For the future i can attest to the above poster that blockade runners are fine ships for this sort of task.
As someone who actually "know" Rhad from my early days in the game, i very much doubt he is a ebayer. (unless he sold his char natuarally, lols)
Well, i bet this was the last time you moved officer mods in a condor at least!

oh wtf?
It's a multilayer game. Go play single player if you do not like it. Better get used to it now, most of us have been doing it since the netquake days. The only point/reason/goal to gaming is to kill, kill, kill, period.
