Just curious if there had ever been a concerted effort by players in Eve to punish pirates? As kind of low/null sec volunteer police force if you will. It seems piracy is a major problem in game and while of course it does seem like a fun profession if you're inclined to griefing and annoying people - it does eat into profit margins somewhat. Just curious if there have ever been any concerted attempts at fighting piracy and if so - how succesful were they?

To be fair, PvP's in 0.0 sec seem to be the biggest cash cows. Pirates normally seem to buy low level frigs. That's why I was wondering if anyone had tried a concerted effort to fight piracy as they seem to be one of the main barriers to - stealing a Teladi phrase - Profitsssssss....

Technically CVA have a pirate free region
The fact that they harbour pirates that are on their best behaviour in Providence, but pillage elsewhere, and use CVA as a safety net (anyone that turns up looking to pick a fight gets blobbed) is a nice little partnership.

Nope. I'm just a newbie. Always glad to be re-educated. So I take it that it has never been attempted?

I think a lot of people go into lowsec thinking they're going to be "anti-pirates". There was a time when it seemed everybody was calling himself an anti-pirate. Most of them go in with good intentions, go on roaming fleets, set up gatecamps etc waiting for red flashy pirate targets to come through. They bypass miners, ratters, mission runners, couriers of BPOs, and wait. They wait and wait. Then a bunch of pirate battleships comes through the gate and pops them all.
The next day out, they shoot the first miner they see, decide that they like it, and drop the "anti-"...

CVA try, but I visit them every day and killz their doodz, they blob but have yet to catch me! if you are on your toes you can go right into providence / low sec domain entrance, kill them and get away no problem, just keep on the move and be prepared for lots of neuting battleships, which is the defenders choice these days for defending ''their turf''
people who think CVA space is unfun because you get blobbed have got it wrong, you can go into cva space, get a fight, and they will chase you in circles all day, its endless entertainment for pirates who have the constitution for it, I would guess over the last 8 weeks I have about 70 to 100 or so kills just from the area around mamet / misaba / ziriert

Naa. Most antipirates either quit or get good and realize that the only thing they gain from being an antipirate is the inability to attack 3/4 of their potential targets targets and wind up going pirate themselves.

Good luck with that. The pirates in EVE are like vermin; they are everywhere, and trying to eradicate them would be a major undertaking.

There have been plenty of Anti-Pirate groups around, but very few decent ones. Most anti-pirates end up getting sick of not getting loads of action that they change their policy to NBSI "Not Blue Shoot It" and end up shooting anyone that hasn't been offered standings, essentially making them pirates.
Seen a few people come on the forums telling everyone that they are forming the biggest coalation of anti-pirates ever to be seen, made up of all the peacefull people of New Eden, but this gets laughed at and never heard of again. Most carebears have no intrest in fighting so when they band together to rid the world of the evil folks it usualy comes with a lashing of failsauce.

Two things with this:
1)The game isn't (for most people) just watching the little number on the left of your game screen get bigger and bigger.
2)Pirates create many opportunities for entrepenurial and bold traders/industrialists to make quite a profit. If you don't have those qualities, don't blame us.

Of course there is. CVA, who holds Providence is dedicated to the support of the Holy Ammarian Empire, Emperior, Princess, and the destruction of pirates, and thier agenda inside CVA space. This is done with a concerted effort of the member corps inside Providence.
A system of morality which is based on relative emotional values is a mere illusion, a thoroughly vulgar conception which has nothing sound in it and nothing true. |

There have been concerted efforts before, but only in small sections of space. I used to be part of one that kept a pocket that could only be entered via haigilur gate pretty much free of pirates. However, after a certain point you get too good at it and the people who were in it for the fights all leave and you no longer have an antipirate force. That particular group lasted for... about a year or so.

Lol m8 if they were as prevelent as you proport I should see your name every day.......not. EPIC FAIL
But please, R3 is a very welcoming place for pirates( heheheehe) it only holds the highest kill ratio in all of providence. The next highest would be ymp, the other gateway to prov from the empire where pirates seem to make thier home.........hummmmm I wonder why that is ?

CCP has been working on stamping out piracy in all it's forms for a while now. They're very close to eliminating it once and for all.
