Every time I come back to EVE the game has changed. I enjoy it for a week or two, then inevitably I get podded trying to meet up with some friends in some low sec sector. This leads to me cancelling my account and walking away from the game again for a another year or two. So my options are to either stay in high sec doing missions until I hate the game so much that I punch my computer screen, or being a lucrative career of VELDSPAR mining!
Guarding a jumpgate is one thing, having a field of warp disruption is silly. I do not mind dying to players who are skilled and have trained their characters to kill. But how hard is it to kill a character who can't warp away? I imagine quite easy. But I have never been on the opposite side of that. Maybe I am wrong.
Anyways, thanks for the moments in space. |

A "field of warp disruption" sounds more like nullsec than lowsec. Seems you don't know the difference. Learn the game before doing any of this. Why don't your "friends" tell you how to get there? |

First thing, you want to play a game that is built on PVP and not be inconvenienced by such things. That is your first mistake. You know when you go into low or nullsec that the chances of being attacked are higher.
Secondly, I have been in many fights before where I was undergunned and unable to warp out. Somehow, I've been able to make it through alive on most occasions. Was it because I have unicorn blood and adonis dna? Of course not. It's because I've learned how to fly my ship and understand the capabilities and limitations of other opposing ships. There are certain situations where there's really not much you can do; your just screwed. Take those as learning experiences. Learn to use scouts to help you get through dangerous areas (I know I'm going to be flogged by my alliance buddies for even giving you advice like that).
Also, unless you're incredibly stupid you shouldn't be losing a pod in high or nullsec in 99.9% of engagements. When you know your ship is going to blow, pick any celestial off the overview and spam the warp button like a motherf*****. Your pod should warp out instantly.
Most of all, HTFU. Adapt or die. We play this game because we enjoy that sort of challenge. If you find that's not for you, I hear there is a game out there that involves kittens that you could try. Post with your main or GTFO! |

Ultimately it does boil down to the above, though I dont think I would have worded it quite like that.
The severity of loss in Eve is something that you very rarely come across in other games but with a little research, you can find methods to protect your self within Lowsec and Nullsec.
Kessiaan's Lowsec Survival Guide for Rookies while a little dated, still is very relevant in terms of increasing your survival.
Have a read through and absorb some info, it may save both your ship and your pod. |

Then meet up in High sec. Problem solved. Also, see Mordor comment above.
C'mon I'm a freaking 'carebear' and even I have not been podded in Low (except when I picked up a PLEX in Antem...but that's another thread) and I go ALL the time (PI etc.).

Believe it or not, getting killed by other players in eve is actually quite difficult. The tools for your survival is there, you just have to learn how to use them.

Death in Eve is an inevitability. You will not succeed here until you see death not as a reason to quit, but a reason to get revenge. |

Why don't you try to fly a covert ops frigate out to meet your friends? The ability to instantly cloak and warp (or power out of the bubble under the relative safety of a cloak) will really help you traverse through gate camps....
At the same point in time, I HIGHLY recommend you learn about warp bubble mechanics BEFORE you attempt to venture into nullsec.
Frankly, you sound very uneducated in terms of PvP, Warp Bubbles, and general survival....
Flying a shuttle will typically get you through lowsec safely, until you hit a smartbombing Camp. Smartbombing gate camps aren't terribly common in lowsec, but they are there...
Flying a shuttle will typically get you through nullsec safely, until you get bubbled traveling through a gate, or land in a drag/pull bubble. Bubbles are part of 99% of all nullsec gate camps... |

Anyways, thanks for the moments in space. I guess you should never fly a ship you cannot afford to lose. As far as dying in lo-sec - hate to tell you this but you can ganked in hi-sec too. There is no safe place in EVE. If you are looking for a safe place here, I'm not sure what to tell you. Rage quitting over losing a ship or even being podded is kind of juvenile. Use that rage, embrace it and go to the darkside.. gate camp their gate camps. Kill them, become a predator... leave the care bear mining to those of us who know how. just saying.

Yes, the spastic thread, I presume.
OP: if you insist on calling low security space 'low sec sectors', bad things will invariably happen.

Sooner or later we all lose ships; once you realize that losing your ship and pod is not a big deal just annoying you'll be able to enjoy this game a lot more.

O, when Eve makes us existential.... nauseous even... I lose my ships, what's the point?
"I can't say I feel relieved or satisfied; just the opposite, I am crushed. Only my goal is reached: I know what I wanted to know; I have understood all that has happened to me since January. The Nausea has not left me and I don't believe it will leave me so soon; but I no longer have to bear it, it is no longer an illness or a passing fit: it is I." |

Losing ships is inconvenient or annoying? Only because you have to get another one before you can get back in there I suppose.
Here's a surefire way to avoid rage in this game. Buy all ships and modules assuming they are on borrowed time from the first undock. Don't get attached to your ships or your wallet balance, they will ruin everything for you the second you start to care. Don't head out there trying to get yourself killed (or do, what do I care really) but don't sweat it when the inevitable happens. It's just ISK and has no other purpose than buying more things to blow up everyone else's stuff or die in a glorious fire in the attempt.
When I go down I like to try and jam as many people on the mail as I possibly can for the "wtf happened to you?!?!" comments on the killboard. Like losing a frigate to 37 people. The fact that you lived long enough for the battleships to start missing is a win in itself really. Fly anything long enough and eventually someone or something will kill it. So when it happens grab a fresh ship and see if you can get at least some of your stuff back. Incidentally don't get into the revenge thing it just turns you into troll fodder as your hate mail gets posted to the interwebs so everyone can have a good laugh at your expense. I've tried talking at least a handful of convos out of tracking me down to use their kill rights (I'm -10.0 anyway) as they will just lose another ship. So far no one has managed to come in raging over a past loss and not leave fuming about their newest one. In many cases my corpmates helped me out but focused revenge in this game will land you in the same boat as focused revenge in RISK, dead and stewing over a game you can no longer play. |

Losing ships in lowsec is one thing, but you really shouldn't be getting podded unless you are unlucky enough to bump into a sebo'ed loki or sumthin that can get a lock on your pod before you warp out (also smartbombs)... Burn back to gate, burn off the gate, take out the tackler(s) align out to a celestial and turn your tank on, any of these things are more useful than posting in C&P that you got your spaceship blown up.... A little trust goes a long way. The less you use, the further you'll go |

just want to bring a couple things up to the people who feel its impossible to get poded in Low sec.
Speed of the computer your playing on does have a impact on how fast your screen/controls changes from being in a ship to out of a ship in a pod. If your computer isn't up to the task, you will get caught alot more than someone with a better computer.
You can lessen the impact of this by turning off ingame email notifications and lowering your overal graphfix settings but even these changes don't always work.
Just food for thought... |
