Just got killed in my interon 5 by Old Detroit Crime Syindicate , evidently they found a way to lauch cruise missles from there capsules and I lost around 100 million in freight and named cargo expanders. The help chanel is broken so no way to report these cheaters. May quit the game over this, if its that easy for people in capsules to take weeks of hard work then this game is not for me.

empire isn't safe. don't go afk. have warp cores instead of expanders...yes they were most likely passively scanning ships and cargos, waiting for a good target

It is not an exploit if they die, and they do not do it often, because it racks ur sec status up (negatively) and then you have to move down in sec status.
or... at least I don't think it is...

Aye. Kessies die quick to concord battleships, and I would suspect that the kill-mail system is based on he ship they were flying at the time of the kill, not the time of missile launch.
So that's no cheat.

Lets look at the facts to show how wrong you are. 1. When the cruise missles started hitting me I engaged photon sheild hardener and sheild booster , I was not AFK. 2.Most of us know what you are really doing , you train a noob character to fly a kestral and train torps or cruise missles , you then park in a 1.0 gate like Yulai and kill all the indys that have anything of value. Your friends then scoop up the items from the victim in there indys. When u noob character has a bad enough sector standing you then recycle the character and make a new 1 to start the process all over. Has nothing to do with skill its a weakness in the game mechanics that let u take easy advantage of people that work hard so you wont have to work hard. 3. I am not against pirating but I am against exploiting , If I had been in in a low sector space I would have no problem if I had gotten killed. 4. You and your exploiting bunch can spin it any way you like the bottom line is you are not pirates as that takes hard work you are just parasites not worthy to play the game as it was intended.

For one how the hell do you know us?
For two, it takes awhile to make a decent pvp character as we have found out.
We are no alts, just friends. We jump from game to game.
I will be petitioning HARRASSMENT for you attacking my integrety.
Take your beating like a man.

Hmm getting killled by someone in High Sec and whining... didn't I hear of that before? Oh yeah now i know i must have read it in about 50% of the couple thousand of threats b4 
Well that's alright until the cargo isn't being looted by a corpm8 or friend of the attacker. But y talk and whine about it. just check those other threats and feel better for you are not the only one who has been "cheated" on |

just petition it, DEV's have already stated that killing in 1.0 systems should not happend and anybody who does will be banned (as they have told everybody not to over and over and over). You should also get the stuff you lost back.
no reason to quit, but if you feel that bad....can i have you stuff? ______________________________________________ Hellmar > sorry for the attitude, playing a n00b character through the current state just left me a bit bitter dev chat: Mar 18, 2004

If Old Detroit Crime Syindicate want to be carebear pirates in 1.0 space, there's nothing you can do to stop them.
Eventually they'll have such a low SR they'll be forced to move to 0.4 and under.
If these guys are mains and not temp. alts it's ok.
Otherwise it's just lame

That was because ppl were avoiding Concode. We dont. We play in the rules. If I had a concorde sanctioned war I can kill in 1.0 without concorde interfering. That is killing in 1.0. Narrow definitions my friend. We take calculated risks. Its called privateering. The highways should be 0.0 anyway. You carebears are trying to make this into a Sims in Space expansion.

let me add 1 other thing that makes this an exploit, after they get a bad enough sec rating there all going to have huge bountys , they will just get there buddy to kill them for the bounty, then recycle the alt and make a new 1 with kestral skill and cruise missle. Then pull the same exploit. Easy and lame way to make isks in the game and not really have to play the game. Thats why they should be banned.

Personally, I think they (CCP) dropped the ball due to you carebears and your stupid insurance. Why should we (pirates) get insurance isk for getting killed by the cops? Am I the only one who see's this as stupid? In RL if I got into a highspeed chase with the cops, killed a few ppl and wrecked my car, what do you think my car insurance company would do? You want to blame someone, blame yourself for being cowards and needing such insane insurance. They need to overhaul the insurance in this game.
Then again, I dont expect the judge/jury ppl to bother to do any thinking. You reactionary ppl are the worst kind IMO. You have no principals and stand for nothing. You switch camps and jump from bandwagon to bandwagon. Simply put I have much contempt for those (all too many) shallow ppl out there. Just read this thread, it's a prime example. I wanted to see if anyone could think outside the lines, but nope. I am not suprised.

Yeah, exactly!
First point of view, my character is nearly "done". I only recently came back to Eve, left in May.
Second Point of view, 12 days is a long time to pay to do absolutly nothing.
Third point, you have no point.
Oh yes, btw corp theft is "legal". I could have joined so many idiot corps and griefed them had I choose to. Why, because idiots spam a local channel looking for recruits. Rather foolish isnt it? But, then said idiot would get robbed and refuse to take any blame. That is a typical Eve corp and player.

CCP: Please get rid of all alts now. They are ghey and cause so many problems in this game its just stupid.
How about next patch? Just get people to nominate their main when they log in and then erase everything else. Screw the consequences, it'll be far better for the game in the longterm and was a stupid dumb decisions to have them in the game to start with.
I await the inevitable crying and whining from the Eve community with glee

No offense to anyone who's lost their indy this way, but I bet you learned a lesson. These people are killing you with cruise missiles, and getting killed by Concord for doing that. Who picks up the loot might be their friends, but who is stopping you from going there, following them, and picking the loot yourself? That would **** them off for sure.
If you put in weeks of hard work into something, I suggest you don't carry the results around in an unprotected indy, in a system with 100+ people in it. Think a little.

My pence worth from a noob! As usual there are two sides to a story:
First of all: if you are carrying 100Mio in an industrial ask one of your corp member to run convoy in a bs as you are presenting a lovely and tempting target.
Secondly: Yulai is a 1.0 secure space that should mean something i.e. that you can travel there without coming under unprovoked attack.
Attacking somebody and then having a friend pick up the cargo in 1.0 space is an exploit simple and pure. If you want to become a pirate go to the less secure space and enjoy the game. If you can pirate in 1.0 space where can your safety be assured. What is going to be next, as noob's can afford to go in escort are they going to be the next target? That is going to help the game getting new players (hint, note of sarcasm).
Anyway that is my view, please feel free to (dis)agree.

no alts? Better solution; institute a fine against those who choose to initiate hostilities in empire space outside of sanctioned corp wars. Make the fine far beyond anything they could hope to gain from ganking indy ships. If the character doesn't have the money for the fine then have the debt transferred to whichever account does have the isk. If none have the isk then have all three characters be charge a negative balance in their wallet of the total outstanding isk due.
Griefers will be griefers no matter what you do. They will always try to find a way to disrupt other people's enjoyment of the game. The point is to make it so you can ignore them rather than creating blanket rules and accounts that hurt the honest/legit people who use alts. Rather than the preschoolers who just learned how to log onto the internet and use their mommy and daddy's charge card. ah... Fujiko

CCP have stated that using alts and Kestrels to kill in 1.0 systems is exploiting and a bannable crime. (this was when another corp called Zombie something or other was doing it).
Just report them to CCP in an exploit petition and you will get your stuff back.
Hopefully the perpertrators will get banned, it doesnt matter if its an alt, if they have it on the same account as their main char that'll get banned too.

No, the last people who did this were not avoiding concord. They were using kestrels with cruise missles.
This is regarded as an exploit as they knew full well that they would be destroyed and their friends could pick up the loot.
You can say it is within game mechanics as much as you like but CCP regard it as ban-able.
To call people Carebears when you are using a no-risk way of attacking Indy ships in safe space is absolutely hilarious.

Miso and Xelios have the right idea. Either one will do, but atm this kind of grief play, and that's what this is, is extremely annoying. IF you wanna kill a indy do it legally in a empire <0.5 belt somewhere or in 0.0, ( and don't give me that bull about how that that can't be done, killing a indy in a 0.4 belt under the noses of BS protection can be done, and that's actually a challenge and entertaining for all parties involved ) ~{When evil and strange get together anything is possible}~ A tool is only useless when you don't know how to use it. - ActiveX The grass is always greener on the other side. - JoCool |

Well would just like to point out that it is pointless having an escort in 1.0 space.
The reason is, when the indy is being attacked what in hell can the bs/cruiser escorting do about it??
If the indy pilot says he is being targeted and the escort then locks and shoots the targetting ship then he gets ganked by concord
If he waits till the indy is fired on and then opens fire he gets ganked again cos the aggressive act wasn't against him.
The only possible way escorts could be usefull is as a deterrent so the escort locks the attacking ship and hopes this firghtens them enough not to open fire. Also the attackers will have a hard time seeing if the indy has an escort anyway cos the highways are so busy, so the itimidation factor of the escort is lessoned.
But i could be wrong, are there any ways for the escort to actually protect the indy, ie shoot and kill the attacker with out being ganked them selves?? ----- Trixy says "Keep ur friends close but ur enemies even closer" -----

Not sure about this, but if you are in a gang and someone attacks your gangmate can you fire ?
Edit - Actually thinking about it that wont help as you can only attack the attacker when it would be the attacker's indy you would want to get.

Even if you can it doesn't matter, concord will finish the attacker off faster than you will, and if they can't stop the indy from going down due to cruise missiles a cruiser or bship escort can't either.

Because having a escort in secure space doesn't mean squat. Escorts cant fire on the rats unless they want to loose their ships to concord and gate guns.
If fired from long range, cms will be picked off by gate guns, or at least mine were a while back, while shooting at a ore thief.
A cool solution would be to give indies a missile launcher slot. As lock time sucks, you would have to use eather fofs or defenders to protect your self.
Anyway in a week, these wannabies will be banned out of highway systems due to the sec status. I bet we wont be hearing from them in a looong time. If they come to 0.0, they are going to get their asses kicked. Simple as that.

Well i am gonna stay in the middle of this srgument. I think what happened is a very cheap thing to do, and its been tried against me before, but hasn't worked. Calling people carebears because of how they play the game isn't right either, they pay their money every month for how they want to play. If they get enjoyment from sitting around mining all day, more power to them, don't bash them for it. For the people that use cowardice tactics like this, grow some balls and leave empire space for awhile, and try some real fighting. I have all the respect in the world for real pirates/privateers/border guards/patrols whatever you want to call them, they work damn hard for their kills in 0.0 non-empire space, because more and more changes seem to be made against open pirating. Changes need to be made, and hopefully they will benefit both sides of this argument. --------------- |

The main will get banned even if it's on a different account, as CCP bans the player, not just the account.
One solution (although not a perfect one) to this problem would be that Concord would attack not just the aggressor, but also any corp/gang member in the same grid.

One of the reasons your not seeing the Devs working hard to stop this atm is becuase its delt with in Shiva. Anyone that picks up stolen loots in high security space is risking being podded by concord under the shiva changes.
However Tee Tee, as a new player you should learn that in EVE the lamer the tactic the more sucessful it tends to be. The people that employ lamer tactics feel REALLY good about it, they feel impowered. They are having a good time, and for now at least, the devs still have not learned that a non-fighting playstyle has as much merit as a fighting playstyle. The killers need to live with other killers and the workers need their own place as well. There should be a grey zone and that is .4 to .1 space. Killing the weakest, newest players with the lamest tactics in 1.0 space is a great failure in EVE one that is unfortunatly been a fact of the game in various forms since release.
The Devs continue to rehash the mistakes of other MMOG's of the past in their first attempt. They feed the sheep to to wolves and forget that the sheep pay most of the bills. Eventually the sheep get tired of paying for others fun.

Here's my suggested solution to the alt problem.
As for escorting, how about using a couple of shield transfer modules on your escorting cruiser / BS / whatever, so that if your ganged indy does get attacked, at least you have a chance to increase it's survivability until Concord have dusted the creep attacking you?

That is a reasonable solution, especially if said indie is worth 100 mill. Nerfing the hell out of Kestrels is not the way to go. In my opinion, they are the last of the frigates that can successfully be used as a lvl3 muission ship for us |(non-elite equipped) mortals.

Hate to say it but you DO need to be more careful moving stuff through the highways nowadays. Its part of the reason the BadgerII is making a comeback.
These guys you ran into are particular idiots for no other reason than their crass behaviour and open stupidity in this thread - however that doesn't in itself make the occurence *wrong* per se.
I do think that CCP will have words though as they did state clearly that any non-war attack in 1.0 would not be tolerated and viewed as an exploit.
Even so any and all precautions should be used when moving high value items anywhere. I can run 1000 shield or multiple tac-shields on the B2 to prevent these attacks having much chance at all of succceeding. An Iteron V can mount an MWD and be through the gate before they can even scan you.
With or without the idiots present ALL precautions and advantages should be used. I'm not suggesting you were "asking for it" but you were caught out.
I treat everywhere as 0.0 war zones nowadays and, tbh, I am resigned to the chance of loosing my cargo ever time I travel alone anywhere.

Morkt is correct. Badger mk 2 is the indy you want to use if u want to live tru a multiple frig attack. Atm my badger has 1000 shields + a em shield hardener, i can take 2 kestrels worth of cruises before they even get to my armor. Kick ass indy. ----------------------

Edited by: Rawne Karrde on 19/04/2004 15:30:08 man all this whining... Personnally I've had my indy blown up a few times myself travelling though i'm on the side of the guys shooting. Just because your in 1.0 space doesn't mean your safe. What it means is that concord will respond to aid you in killing your attackers. People think that as soon as they see 1.0 they don't need to pay attention any more. These guys have obviously shown us that we need to be smarter if we're transporting goods in an indy. I myself now use an MK II to move my stuff. I also put things like a shield booster on and even some jamming equipment. As someone also mentioned above putting an mwd on your ship is great though my badger can only use two ab's but hey I think last i checked the scanner takes like 9 seconds to check your cargo, so the faster you can go the less time they will have to shoot you. Also, if the stuff i'm moving is valuable but not in high quantity why use an indy at all? I know my corp moves high value mods, that we get from npc hunting in 0.0 to empire, in our bs's holds so that frigates can't do what has been described here, though there has been an incident where we lost a lone bs to 7 or 8 torp carrying cruisers.
All in all i think it should be an exploit to travel afk across the galaxy, and for CCP to provide a situation where all chances of combat have been removed would be stupid. Think about it in real life, you can be walking down the middle of the sidewalk and right in front of the police station a bunch of guys mugs you. Now can't call those guys exploiters for doing it as it can happen everywhere even 1.0 space. Though as some mentioned this insurance thing is crap. People shouldn't get insurance if their ship is destroyed by the police. They also shouldn't get it if they self destruct the ship themselves. As long as these guys are still losing their ships and gaining negative security status then i'm cool with it, though if they shredd their characters after getting their sec status too low and then start again with a new one, then CCP should be doing something, otherwise i see it as role playing, and to those old detroit guys, I'll be ready for you next time....
Edit: I forgot to mention too, that something I would like to see implemented is that when a member of your gang is targetted and is fired on, that the members of the gang can then return fire. This would be something that would quickly make escorting a valid business for people to take up like it was supposed to be. Then a bs moving with the convoy can actually take action.
Also i think they need to make it so that players can shoot those with negative status in the same ways as concord. If a player with -1 to -2 status is in 1.0 to .9 then the players should be able to take him out, that sort of thing.

i dont think its an exploit either attackign ppl in 1.0 system however the security status hit u should take should be larger and posibly a poding from concord should be involved if u destroy or involved in the destruction of a ship to make it a little more insentive not to pk in empire.
I think the root of the problem however is cruise missles on frigates. Cruise missle capabilities on frigs is over powering if the same kestrals used heavys then your ship would prob still be intact and they would be the only ones sucking vacuum.
but thats a whole diffrent argument :)

Quote: Lets look at the facts to show how wrong you are. 1. When the cruise missles started hitting me I engaged photon sheild hardener and sheild booster , I was not AFK. 2.Most of us know what you are really doing , you train a noob character to fly a kestral and train torps or cruise missles , you then park in a 1.0 gate like Yulai and kill all the indys that have anything of value. Your friends then scoop up the items from the victim in there indys. When u noob character has a bad enough sector standing you then recycle the character and make a new 1 to start the process all over. Has nothing to do with skill its a weakness in the game mechanics that let u take easy advantage of people that work hard so you wont have to work hard. 3. I am not against pirating but I am against exploiting , If I had been in in a low sector space I would have no problem if I had gotten killed. 4. You and your exploiting bunch can spin it any way you like the bottom line is you are not pirates as that takes hard work you are just parasites not worthy to play the game as it was intended.
Bottomline: there was no cheating or exploiting. CCP stated, that they consider this type of attack a weakness of the system, not because its possible, but beacause the industrials picking up the loot are not flagged as criminals as well.
Face it: if you are *dumb* enough - sorry for the expression - to haul anything worth more than a load of trit or pyer in an indy as slow as the iteron mk5, then you really deserve to die. I guess you had a load of mega or zyd, maybe a juicy blueprint.

Allaina the point that is being made is that the act of killing the indy itself is realistic from there CCP has realized that the pickup portion is not and is changing it for shiva. Also though the existance of the blackmarket skill that decreases the chances of being caught with contraband shows that CCP still expects this sort of thing to go on its part of game play, just gonna take some skill to be able to do it with some effectiveness.

The problem you'll run into though trying to stop thier freind's from picking it up is, who would you determine as friend/foe. You would have to be able to give rights to someone to loot a can that is created by your ship exploding (corpse loot rights). Otherwise your friend picking up the stuff for you since you need a bigger ship to carry it all would be flagged as a criminal.
All in all, stop traveling AFK and/or unaware. You CAN be attacked anywhere, it ISN'T an exploit in high sec systems as long as their ship gets blown up by police/sentry guns. Stopping thier friend that's not even in the same corp as them...more things would have to be implemented to the game before you can call this an exploit.

Don't delete any alts.
Remove the ability to make more alts instead, tomorrow.
I think it would work within a reasonable time frame. People could no longer be able to manufacture disposable alts, but every one would keep the ones they have. Chalk it up as a thing that has been learned from and move on.

Update: We have our first alt corp declare war on us. I will be petioning as the name is simply offensive. And ppl called us childish.

Declare war edited -[crc]garvan and end them already. Easy to clear a system of their presence then get your stuff through. They attack defensless targets so Im sure they dont have the huevos to hit an armed escort that can shoot with impunity. War is also fun. They talk too much smack to be very good.

O.D.C.S people, do not listen to this people, what ur doing IS LEGAL, u destroyed her ship and concord destroyed yours, SIMPLE.
as for you TeeTee, there are many ways to prevent, if u dont do any of them, you are a newbie or simply too lazy, and that is not the fault of any1 here but you.
Oh and for those who thikn these guys in Kessies are alts, tehy are not, it takes long to get cruise missiles and stuff, also, they can simply train Torpedos and get a Caracal, and still they would profit A LOT, u say u had 100mil worth cargo, a caracal equiped costs 5mil.

Couldnt agree more! Almightybig doesnt seem to have the balls to do it, so he makes an alt corp, then brings in his alt almightbiggie (how original). We are all very scared.
After reading lots of these posts, its clear to me that some ppl don't know how to leave emotion out of a debate. It is facts that count, not raw emotion.
No emotion from me. It would be like stepping on a roach...removing a nuisance and thats all. This would be fun though. Its nice to smack down the smack talker...hehehe.
I dont have a prob with alts...or people working within the rules/mechanics of the game even when the outcome is distasteful. Their should be consequences though...and it looks like theys a comin'.

I like the suggestion in Jade's thread that characters should show as "Relative of <other charnames>" so that you can see who the main is of any lamer-alt that starts popping cruise at you from his kestrel. It wouldn't completely solve the problem of lamers who abuse the alt system to cycle all three chars through kestrels but it would make sure that they are stuck in the recycling game and can't profit from their exploits with a main char unless they buy two boxes.
I doubt most of these kids could persuade their parents to buy two accounts, so it should help. If we can't ban alts altogether then I guess forcing people to buy extra boxes would at least mean that they add something to the game, even if it is only revenue and not anything positive in terms of Roleplay, Realism or even good manners....

Edited by: Xertas on 19/04/2004 19:15:34 Deleteing ALTS will not work. I like my alts, lets you play different ways in same game.
Increase the delete time for ALTS or something. To slow down ALT laming.
How bout ALTS with Neg Sec take 2 weeks to delete. You could still use the tactic but it would sure as hell slow it down some.
Edit: Or how about you have to pay the outstanding bounty on an ALT before you can delete it? If you have a x million dollar bounty on ur mean alt you have to pay it to Concord before you can clear that slot?

hmmm
what if sec hits in given timeframe X were logarithmic? Like, Suicide Kestrel one day ganks some indy at a gate, ok, whatever, sec hit / CONCORD spanking / etc.
Successive negative actions in a small timeframe (few hours?) incur progressively greater penalty.
Like, go on a shooting mass-murderdeathkill spree, and SWAT and the rest are likely to take a quicker and harsher notice =).
Further, i STILl think my old "apb" idea is a viable solution to this. Gankwhack for several negative points in a given region, that region puts out an APB on your ass, your face starts appearing on local billboards as ARMED AND DANGEROUS, and you become FREE-FIRE for a short time period. You don't care, you were gonna die anyway, right? And you're in favor of PvP, right? A mass murderer currently fleeing the cops and wanted for questioning has just publically murdered 4 people, i turn a corner and there he is, weapon in hand, approaching me... I blow his head off. No cop on this earth, even in this country =), would berate me overmuch, it's called a "clear and present danger" to my life.
I don't want to NERF fighting in Empire space, i wanna make it frickin' POSSIBLE. 
There are many creative and entertaining ways to allow actual conflict without even removing the ability of the suicide kestrels to do their thang... they just can't maybe do it for 6 hours straight with a few friends and no RISK. Remember risk? CCP loves risk, right? 
The haulers meanwhile will be taken care of by TomB's contraband rules.

How did this came to my mind? because alot of peeps "whine" about beeing killed and hating those "pirates" and still they do nothing. Actually to get rid of this sort of behaviour, we must all stand up and fight against it. And not just petition and ask for the GM's to take care of it.

I have now seen several people state with absolute certainty that:
Quote: any non-war attack in 1.0 would not be tolerated and viewed as an exploit.
But the only official statement I recall seeing myself indicated otherwise.
Can anyone provide a link to substantiate this??? I suspect that people are deliberately spreading misinformation in an attempt to save their fuzzy, cotton-stuffed hides... could be wrong, but, well, that's just the way I am...
As I understand the rules:
So long as you do not take any "out-of-game" measures (logging, etc) to prevent Concord destroying your ship, and you recieve the correct reduction in security standing, you are NOT exploiting.
Kestral-Kazi might be Cheap, but I have yet to see anything that makes me believe it is cheating. If that is not correct, please share the evidence 
Untill a GM or Polaris Rep tells them otherwise, ODCS appears to be playing the game as intended.

Well, no .. because it isn't true. You're at liberty to attack anyone you please in 1.0 space; the *important* point is that you're not supposed to be able to make a profit from it. CCP instigated CONCORD, as far as I can tell, because they wanted to avoid the "you cannot attack other players in this area" nonsense that affects .... well, every single other game I've ever played that allowed optional PvP. Unfortunately, far too many people don't see it that way, and just see CONCORD as an annoyance round which they have to find sneaky ways to still commit PvP in high-sec space.

Originally by: TeeTee Just got killed in my interon 5 by Old Detroit Crime Syindicate , evidently they found a way to lauch cruise missles from there capsules and I lost around 100 million in freight and named cargo expanders. The help chanel is broken so no way to report these cheaters. May quit the game over this, if its that easy for people in capsules to take weeks of hard work then this game is not for me.
I would also suggest that you put valuable items and/or minerals inside passworded secure cans and then put the secure cans inside your hauler. This might deter eventual attackers as (a) they will be unable to check what's inside the cans and (b) they won't be able to open the cans anyway. The added bonus being that using cans, you will be able to haul even more cargo, as secure cans provide more cargo space than they use.
And as bad as you may think these guys are, their attack at least had a purpose, viz. to lay their hands on what you were hauling.
Which they did.
That they got away with it is another issue. And I cannot help but notice that a lot of trouble these days seem to stem from the use of alts, evidently because alts do not suffer the consequences of their actions, or at least do not mind them.

because you can't declare war on Pator Tech, mostly. The real jerks and griefers hide in the n00bcorps. Detriot is an actual corp some self-appointed police groups could certainly declare on, however, and in that respect you're right. I'm tbh not as concerned with detroit's "real" alts than the schmoes who whack randoms in frigates and n00bships, because there's no way to preemptively strike them even when you know what they're up to, and no way to stop them when they show up for the third time to do the exact same thing in a row...

1. Secure cans do not help at all unless they are anchored , if you are killed they can just scoop up the secure can and repackage it at a station expelling its items in there hanger. 2. I no longer manufacture any items for sales as this just helps the economy which in turns helps the parasites. Let prices climb to extreme amounts because of these parasites and enough people complain to CCP to stop this LAME game play. I was a major manufacturer in a region only will make items for friends. 3. Its going to be fun to see how long old detroit crime syndicate lasts already know of 3 corps declaring war on them , I imagine they will just recycle there alts make new ones and a new corp then run there mouths at everyone at how leet they are. 4. Its just moronic that a 2 week old player has any chance against a 7 month old player in there leet kestrals. 5 This is totally rediculous that indys are this is easy to kill has no reality to it. 6 Why should a badger be better than an interon 5 look at the time it takes to train interon 5 versus the Badger pure crap.

If this corporation is indeed a group of recyclable alts (which their lack of portraits and birth dates would lead you to belive) then there can be no doubt whatsoever that this is cheating.
The reason is simple; There are no consequences for what they are doing. If a normaly player want to do this he could do it precisely 9 times (-.1 for attacking, -.5 for ship destruction), then he would be below -5 and be hunted by concord and be attackable by players. These guys can do this forever if they just keep washing their characters through. All they need are two character slots (1 for using and 1 for training, such that when one drops below -5 he can be deleted and recreated).
The question is what can CCP actually do about this? Can they classify certain types of usage of alts as cheating (which it is) or does this create too much of a grey area?

On a similat theme I have had a character ask to buy stuff and when delivering, attacked me in a similar way to get my cargo. The mistake I made was not being totally vigulent. They didn't get my cargo but they did attack me.
It sux big time. But with hidden locations and poor scan and find abilities, its not worth my time to declare war or track them down. And bounties are the biggest joke in the universe. Just chalk this 1 to experiance and get on with playing the game.
Unless you are using money as a 'winning the game' kind of thing, what difference does it make if you have only 100 million left or 200 million. It would only be a crushing problem if you had been knocked back to a few 1000 isk and had no friends, equipment or ships.
This this is so, I will be your friend and help you out, contact me if this is the case.

All this stems from several things:
1) You can fire cruise missiles from frigates and cruisers. 2) CONCORD does not podkill.
Those two things are there because of carebear whining. So sleep in it.

Originally by: Baun If this corporation is indeed a group of recyclable alts (which their lack of portraits and birth dates would lead you to belive) then there can be no doubt whatsoever that this is cheating.
The reason is simple; There are no consequences for what they are doing. If a normaly player want to do this he could do it precisely 9 times (-.1 for attacking, -.5 for ship destruction), then he would be below -5 and be hunted by concord and be attackable by players. These guys can do this forever if they just keep washing their characters through. All they need are two character slots (1 for using and 1 for training, such that when one drops below -5 he can be deleted and recreated).
The question is what can CCP actually do about this? Can they classify certain types of usage of alts as cheating (which it is) or does this create too much of a grey area?
it's going to be great when 1 month down the road the detroit crime syndicate still exists, still goes about their business, and still causes these threads.

have you any idea how much we're helping the economy of eve?
see now i'm disappointed, THAT'S a tired old excuse.
1) if you aren't attacking established players, this is moot 2) she said the BUSINESS OF THIS GAME, which != the interior economic model simulation. If someone's attacking random n00bs for no reason and driving off someone who's just gotten his first real ship and has begun to learn his way around the GUI, this harms the game, period. If you pretend not to know the difference, i can't help you there.

Yeah, but we arn't blowing up "random n00bs". We kill choice targets, and nothing more. (Unless we're really bored, and someone starts running their mouth in local).
And on that note, I contacted a GM to get an official word on what we are doing. While I wont post the response, he did say there was nothing explicitly wrong with our actions. Being the nice guy that I am, I gave him some good tips on how to make this a bit more balanced. -------------------------------------------------- Criminal Connections Rank(3) SP: 76549/768000

I very much doubt Old Detroit Crime Syndicate will be around in 1 months time. You'll have new alts and a new corp. to play with before then.
CCP have a long history of taking care of the passively-minded customers and will make changes which remove this kind of ganking. Unfortunately, those changes will most likely impact upon those who play the hard but fair PvP game by the rules.
That's why you are receiving such vehemence and vitriol in local/on the forums.

More seriously though, the suiciding "tactic" performed in Empire space is evidently exploiting. There's no question about it.
It is most likely being fixed, and the fix will probably come out in Shiva (as mentioned before).
Till that time, we simply have to be content that these exploiters will be banned or punished in some form or another. ------------------------------------------------- Lying Scumbag |

PIE INC ANNOUNCEMENT
It has come to our attention that the Old Detroit Crime Syndicate have been carrying out criminal acts a mere single jump from Amarr.
Not only that but they have also destroyed several Amarr pilots undertaking legitimate trade in the process.
PIE Inc. hereby announces that we have initiated a war vote against The Old Detroit Crime Syndicate which hopefully will go live within 24 hrs. We will then engage and destroy ships from the ODCS on sight.
No doubt the Old Detroit Crime Syndicate will dissappear back under whatever stone they crawled from under and will probably set up a new Corporation to avoid the consequences of their actions.
Despite this we felt that 'something' had to be done about these villainous criminals! Please report sightings to us from tomorrow evening.

and what with the new missile skill req isnt torpedoes quicker to learn than cruise plus u can have an alt starting with lvl4 frig so it prolly is faster to train to caracal with torps than kest with cruise.
but then i wouldnt know i dont waste my training time on alts... dont really use em anyhow.

Second, seperate your sentances for god sakes man! You put like two-three thoughts in a sentance and it is poor form. Third, come back to reality and rember Eve is a game, not life. You have no idea who I am or what I do. For all you know, I am your boss at work. You don't know anyone, its an unline game. In conclusion, next time you want to make an emotional post, do so on a wordpad and edit it. It looks like your handers were shaking with anger when you posted it. You didnt even finsh typing some words.

Actually, that's not an opinion.

If we ask GM's what they think about the way you people suicide in cheap kestrels so you can rob them with alts/"friends" in 1.0 space (or empire space overall), what do you think their answer will be?
If it's a legit tactic, why is it being halted in Shiva?
I'd ask you the same question, but I'm pretty sure your brain power doesn't go up that far :(
'The ship dies' is a pretty stupid argument. The people who were tanking were getting shot by CONCORD, too. Nowhere is stated that people who shoot "unjustly" in Empire space are going to die by CONCORD. ------------------------------------------------- Lying Scumbag |

I have 3 "alts" on my 2nd account, one "researcher", one "miner" and one "fighter" - all of which I roleplay differently. It was a way to experiment with race and start position and each has 2-3mil skill points. I couldn't name a "main" among them if you asked me to and don't see why I should have to pay for three accounts to keep them all when the game was sold under the premise that I could create up to 3 characters.
The issue is alt abuse so how about something like limiting the process to the three slots we started with - no recycling of old characters without paying a reasonable fee to get the option to create a new one.
Sure, its a system you could easily work around but not without cost and I doubt people would pay for a kessie alt that has a limited lifespan in empire space - or maybe they would in which case, all the more reason to point out how lame they are.

Am I the only one here who thinks that borrowing your corp and character names from a futuristic action movie is more than just a little lame, and highly unimaginative?
Some observations:
1. These guys are not new players, "invited into the game by a buddy", they're alts of some fairly well-known pirates. They're not doing this for profit, they're doing this to annoy the community and to "get back" at CCP by doing things that are border-line exploiting (maybe they're Zombie alts trying to "avenge" being banned because of the Yulai Incident?)
2. They're not 15 years old. Read their posts on the first 6 pages of this thread. No (or very little) smileys, "lol"s, typos, or grammatical mistakes.
Nevertheless, my guess is that once a few large/powerful/skilled corps who are around the highway systems a lot like PIE declare war on them, they'll get bored, and after a few days of playing cat and mouse, they'll disappear and possibly reform under new names. Rinse and repeat. Before that we may see a phase where the guys in the haulers that pick up the loot escape the wars by joining n00bie corps and avoiding destruction that way. They'll wait at the gates, and the Kestrels just warp in for quick raids from their safe spots.
Oh, and we'll see plenty of n00bie pirates copying these guy in the near future, unless CCP does ban them. So please ban them or at least issue a warning now, unless you want groups like this hanging around at all major star gates.

So it's an exploit because ppl are taking advantedge of faulty game-mechanics in first degree

What I'm saying that accusing someone of being g4y/15 years old/whatever when that someone does something you don't approve of is fairly typical forum knee-jerk behaviour.
But I'll modify my claim:
They exhibit far less use of smileys, typos, lols, swearing, and grammatical errors on the first 6 pages of this thread than your average 15-year olds, therefore there are no grounds for calling them that 
(furthermore, English is not the first language of many forumites, so some typos are to be expected. It's my fourth language, so obviously I make mistakes every now and then. Doesn't make me 15 years old though)

How easy it is to whine and moan on these forums. I'm puzzled that more people just don't do something positive in game by tackling the folks you feel are causing you grief.
No matter how many things are reviewed or changed - often in reaction to an exploit - people will always find a new way to get a hold of your lovely loot. That's human ingenuity for you. Deal with it!
If you don't like what these pirates are doing, declare war and shoot them. Remember, they're only alts (prolly?) with a few basic skills - so even if you're new, it won't take you long to be just as militarily effective as they are.
There are many ways to tackle these problems, you just have to figure them out by being as ingenious as the villians.

As far as I know, mainly from CSM, FAQ and other CCP sources.
Engaging someone in 1.0 is not an exploit.
Doing it without getting caught by concord however is and as far as I have gathered even getting away from the crimescene makes it an exploit even if you get yourself podded on the other end of a warp.
Thus, if it is true that you managed to kill a person and warp away only to get killed elswhere by concord you are exploiting.
As for the tactic of having a scanner player checking cargo untill a jucy oponent arives, do a suicide run with a kestrel or similar ship, die and have a buddy pick upp the dropped loot.
Its not an exploit as such but CCP has decided it is not somthing they want to have in their game and thus cargo cans dropped by destroyed ships in 1.0 will be taged owned, If you are at war with the owner or if you are in the same corp and possibly gang you will be able to loot the can but if you are not you will be flagged hostile and killed by gateguns and or concord for doing it.
Its not a good solution but yet again pirate griefers have pushed CCP to have to make changes that inhibits piracy, luckily this forum is text based and thus I wont go deaf when the whining about yet another pirate nerf starts upp.
Come to think of it, Im going to have to look into adding sound to a post... should be possible just a question of how to code it :)

Having been killed and lost some minerals that were valuable to me in this manner (abeit by another corp that has jumped on this band wagon)and during the severe lag in Sunday,I thought I would add my view to this.
I dont usually browse the forums as I find they just descend into people bickering with each other and the point is lost, therefore I was blissfully unaware that this was happening as I tend to live in 0.5 space (yes before you say it could be said its my fault for not reading the forum, but when they descend into 'flame wars' i believe you call them? who can blame me?)
If this problem has been around so long and CCP dont condone these actions and see it as such a major flaw that they need to change the game ethics to combat this, then why were we not advised? a simple system message would have been nice to see just to make people aware that this was happening. As it stands for people like me who dont read the forums due to the previous statement the only way we learn is by experience. Fortunately I have people around me who can help me recover my loss (however i will now have to spend 2 weeks earning isk to pay this debt of just so im back on level ground) however for other players who may not be in that position this can seriously damage there enjoyment of a game.
I have taken the experience onboard now and have made arrangements to try and prevent this happening to me again (live and learn, how true) however I was very annoyed with myself for not being prepared, CCP for the lack of communication around this issue and with the agressors who are seriously damaging what could become a great game.
My concerns are with -
1) CCP lack of communication on this matter and any other 'legal exploits' ' bending of game mechanics' whatever they are called - please keep your customers informed, is it too much to ask for a simple system msg around this and also stating that a fix was being looked into (something else i was not aware off until now), then your customers can see CCP are aware and dealing with the matter.
2) Someone also mentioned on this thread that due to the raging debate and concerns a post from the community officer on the official stand and lead time before we can expect a fix (do we have to wait for shiva?) im sure you will have lost some trialists due to this and maybe one or two more experianced players who have just lost paitience with CCP
3) when was the iron curtain installed in Iceland? the silence is deafening
Sorry for the long post but my points are directed at the community manager and CCP in the vain attempt they may break there silence
thank you

Because having a escort in secure space doesn't mean squat. Escorts cant fire on the rats unless they want to loose their ships to concord and gate guns.
If fired from long range, cms will be picked off by gate guns, or at least mine were a while back, while shooting at a ore thief.
A cool solution would be to give indies a missile launcher slot. As lock time sucks, you would have to use eather fofs or defenders to protect your self.
Anyway in a week, these wannabies will be banned out of highway systems due to the sec status. I bet we wont be hearing from them in a looong time. If they come to 0.0, they are going to get their asses kicked. Simple as that.

in reply to Pychian on the locked thread -
If I knew how to quote I would but I donÆt so ill paste 
'As I have said in my post before, if you prepare for such events then you will be less likely to be effected by them'
This is very true and I agree totally, my issue was that I was not aware of such activities so therefore unable to prepare, hence my request for a system msg on such behaviour, if CCP feel the need to change the game mechanics to combat behaviour they find detrimental to the gaming experience of the majority, then warn us please so we can prepare until the problem is solved. The issue is not all paying customer have spare time to play this game for hours on end each day or to surf the forums for information, so there will always be customers who are not aware on any such problems with game play mechanics. All IÆm requesting is a simple looped system msg or heck even use the billboards and give them a proper use! Its about communication (not everyone reads the forums, I only read the forum as I wanted to know the CCP and community stance on this particular issue)
As for the hypothetical scenario, interesting comment and after some thought I tend to feel I would prefer this than the other scenario where the leeches bleed the new or unaware dry. Once fixed im sure these same people will find another way to bend the rules and were back to square one, however if CCP had a system for warning customer of these activities that have been reported then the people they prey on are more aware and less likely to be a victim. This may mean that the rewards for bending rules are less fruitful and they may decide to play the game in another fashion (hopefully the proper one, candle in the wind thought but we can hope)
I have now been made aware of the issue by being a victim, how many others found out about this the hard way? I have now taken steps to try and stop this happening again but it could have been avoided if CCP had a official communication system for these matters
thank you

I don't see this as any sort of exploit its players using their cunning to take advantage of player who assume safety when its not 100% guaranteed.
I am now going to put my head on the block and call myself a hypocrite for what I have said above as I feel the same about insta jumps and insta docking as other do about kessie kamakazi's, neither is an exploit but can give a large advantage using game mechanics in a way not realy designed for.
So as CCP did nothing about haulers avoiding gate attacks with insta jumps should it not be the same for the pirates keeping this in return?

What do you expect them to send a message every time something mildly dangerous is going on in a system? Communication has nothing to do with it, its all about player preparation. Ingnorance is bliss until it bites you in the arse.

mildly dangerous? I think this issue is much more than that considering the amount of people effected and the fact that CCP are now having to change game mechanics to combat this.
I have no problem with pirate activites they add an important part to the world of eve, this activity does not.
I stand by my comment of the different types of player that play this game, does a player that pays his fees and has say 5 hours a week to play deserve to be treated any different to people who live and breath eve?
if you have 5 hours a week to play would you spend it searching forums for the latest game weaknesses? if its being changed then make us aware thats all im asking, its far better this way than tinkering with many other ideas that have a knock on effect to other areas of the game imho, warn us until CCP resolve it the way they feel fit.
Thankyou for your time and replies but once again il leave the forum as I have no interest in bickering on the forum, i was trying to put forward a way that may reduce this activity until CCP resolve however they seem fit.

Just call 1-800-555-CloneAThug. You too can have your own limitless supply of disposible villians. Merely train them until they can use cruise missiles, throw them at valuable Indies, and collect the profits. When the thug become to unpopulare, simply recycle them, and order a new one to fill it's place.
Act now, and install your CloneAThugs in high traffic areas, before your competiton even gets a chance. Properly placed CloneAThug can take in hundreds, thousands, or even millions of ISK a day, without you ever having to lift a finger or expose yourself to retribution.
All of our CloneAThugs are 100% guaranteed for the life of the Thug, or until CCP alters the thuggish properties, which ever comes first.
