[quote=Fredfredbug4]it is funny that the roles are reversed in eve and real life no? the most dangerous place for a hulk is in hisec not null. armored vehicles are used where ever there is a threat to the saftey of the crew. in this case it would be hisec

In nullsec you have perfect intel from local, as well as from alliance security channels so you know if someone likely to shoot you is even *close*.

No such luck in highsec, even the quietest highsec system will have people you don't know flitting through on a regular basis. If you dock everytime you see someone suspicious while mining in my old home of Nakugard you'd never undock to begin with.

I thought you were saying that nullsec mining was easier then highsec, now it turns out that there's an significant amount of effort to ensure that there is in fact safe space to mine in.

In reality, nullsec miners tank their hulks just to be able to survive the belt rats.
Highsec miners still cram their hulks full of scanner mods, cargo rigs and expanders; despite all the 'terrible threat' that suicide gankers pose, they refuse to set their hulks up to withstand one tornado volley, and often even one thrasher volley.

Judging by the precautions players bother to take, the belt rats alone in nullsec literally pose more of a threat then suicide ganking in highsec, hth.

Concord is not a defense. Its a punishment.

A very poor punishment. One that given circumstances of jihadding at time of post, is inconsequential to the profit made from looting the wreck, if a gang of 5 destroyers with hulls and fits worth no more than 3 mil isk drop a single Hulk worth 300 mil.

Quite frankly, in hi-sec, the reward is way more than the risk for gankbears. This needs changing.

If hisec incursions deserve the nerfbat, so does jihadding.





I'm all for buffing the EHP, powergrid and CPU of industrial ships. But I am a firm believer in the bottom line.

CCP should instead force Concord to "sue" the isk of the loss from the wallets of everybody who made the killmail, if they have it or not. This gets paid back to the victim. Insurance becomes void, but this will promote PvP, since carebears will be actively encouraged to get ganked by gankbears. I say encouraged, but what I really mean is they wont care now since they no longer lose isk in the process. It becomes a minor inconvenience to just reship with the isk you didn't have to re-grind just to replace a ship you were using to grind to begin with because somebody wanted a lolgank.

This way, jihaddists still get their killmails, carebears still get owned in hi-sec space, isk gets redistributed so the commies are happy, the capitalists sell their wears so they can't complain and everyone else is happy.
