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.  There was even talk of French toast

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. _______________

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.

Edited by: SDragoon on 07/12/2008 09:34:03 There are a few problems with the idea of a low sec police force.
Since a good deal of catching someone in low sec relies on catching them off guard, due to the lack of bubbles, pirates can be hard to pin down. As an example: mining, ratting and missioning are somewhat boring. So often these players will do something else or doze off. This gives the pirates times to move into position and catch their victims.
You lose this crucial advantage when fighting pirates, because they tend to be focused on the game in search of targets. They will notice the anti pirates in local. That and anytime pirates fly bigger ships that are actually catchable in lowsec, the tend to bring scouts along. So you won't often see pirates mindlessly stumbling onto your anti pirate gate camp in something bigger then a frigate or a recon. In general, pirates are harder to catch then your average carebear.
This lack of action leads to the second problem. In that being an anti-pirate is very boring. Since you are limited in regards to targets most players don't have the drive to stick around on a gate killing next to nothing or chase pirates around on a wild goose chase, and thus these pilots will find something more amusing to do, like pirating. So unless you plan on paying people I doubt you'd be able to muster a decent sized force.

the fact of the matter is, that anti piracy just isnt that feasible. True anti-pirates, (and there were some) never go flashy red. This is to maintain the facade that they always side with the police force and commit no crimes. Unfortunately any pirate that is not -5 (flashy) will always have the advantage due to the fact that they can pick their fights.
If an anti-pirate is playing bait in a belt, and a yellow target comes into the belt and is just sitting there looking at the anti-pirate, he has an advantage. He can choose when to initiate a fight or run. Anti-piracy currently isn't feasible or fun.

Edited by: Dun Bynar on 07/12/2008 16:59:20 lol..sec stat hit!!! and fyi..low sec doesnt make you a pirate .nothing a lil ratting doesnt cure. perhaps you confuse roleplaying anti pirates with real protectors of sovern space....believe me when I tell you running into low sec to hide will not save you from cva if yo have been pirating in prov. Although stationing up is a good, wise, and prudent choise. As for known pirates having any "UPPER" hand I beg to differ...once kos'ed you dont get anymore benifits of the doubt. Where pirates have the upper hand is where they have yet to pirate in cva space..until then they are considered nuet and of course NRDSI prohibits firing first on any nuet, even when you KNOW they are up to no good! But its all good, crooks be crooks, and eventually show thier colors, keeping pirate hunters of prov. with plenty to do while the care bears labor away. In short, and for the last time it is very possible to be pirate free in 0.0, and it not only works...but promotes great carebear interests! IMHO 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. |
