Let me start by saying that I know the rules and I broke them so please don't consider this a moan.
In short, I fired off a smart bomb in a 0.7 belt, hit someoneÆs can and got spanked by Concord. I understood what would happen to me; I'd checked the scanner but just didn't see the can. As a result I lost my Raven.
I donÆt usually complain about these kind of things but the more and more I think what happened, the more I think it's just plain wrong.
A momentÆs lapse of concentration from me meant I slightly damaged someone's container (it was still there after the SB hit it) but I get chased down and killed costing me a 100M+ ship not to mention the fittings. In terms of the punishment fitting the crime this just can't be right.
It's a game of course and kinda of futile to make comparisons to real life but if I accidentally scratched someoneÆs property, I wouldn't expect the police swat squad to come down on me guns blazing and take me out!
I feel this is something CCP should look at. Maybe a hefty fine or loss of standing would be appropriate but not loosing a ship for a minor infringement that did no real damage to anyone or anything. |

Tbh I'm happy that I live in 0.0 space and don't have to deal with CCP's crap rules they make up every now and then.
Sorry for you to lose a battleship because someone made up the idea that a can is someone's property and should be handled as a player.
If I destroy someone's trashcan I usually don't get the same punishment as murderers do in rl.

This is exactly why 0.0 space is MUCH safer than empire space.
I for one dont feel safe near concord or the sentries. Seriously.

So... that's the positive aspect of having negative security rating? I see.

I definately agree with you Kaymo. Supposedly cans are trash you don't want (at least thats what the dang ore-thieves want you to think) but to get wtfpwned by Concord over it is ridiculous. The fine idea sounds good to me. Hopefully CCP will take it to heart also.
I collect ships. Can I have yours? |

Glad to see the Empires punishing battleships.
A Raven in a 0.7 ... for the love of god why?

The problem lies with smartbombs. If they were simply banned in empire, we wouldn't have this problem.
As it is, you use them at your own risk. I don't even dare to have one fitted while I fly through empire.

I just happened to be in the area on the way to pick up a few things and someone in local shouted for help. I went to the belt to help them and the rest you know

Technically smartbombs are banned in empire space.
Every time anyone uses one they get abused by Concord and a post appears in here about what a bunch of meanies they are and they ruined my day and that was the seventh BS I've lost to them and I need counselling etc.
Like I said before, think of it real life - you let off a hand grenade in the street and the police will have you bent over a bonnet with a baton up your <nostril> before you can say "monkey burglar". Same in empire space - you let a mahoosive great explosive off and Concord's going to want some answers/your ship in bits.
Personally, if I was Concord I'd blast away at anything bigger than a frigate floating in empire space. You fly a BS in 1.0 and you've got to be hiding something illegal in that cargo bay...
It's not personality that counts, it's calibre... |
