Could you please not touch my orcas. Thanks.
Haha, I donât intend to âtouchâ them, LOL, I just want to understand whatâs going on hereâŚ
Nah, it is just a meme because miners are always whining that CODE. only ganks miners to reduce competition for the highsec belts. Truth of the matter is that a significant part of them earn their ISK piloting for Red Frog.

How did you get that avatar? Is that a Dust 514 thing?

@Nisanthro I believe that is the new triglavian clothing. It is also extremely expensive⌠in the billions of ISK currently.

How about an âin-loreâ explanation that the pod pilot ejects the crew prior to the gank?
CCP can add some âship crewâ to every wreck too if they want for good measure!
lol, the police donât protect people, they exist as a punishment and murder force, like concord, educate yourself before you go off spouting â â â â â â â â wannbe thug ideas.
This may depend on the country, but in most countries does the police not only punishes people, but they do indeed protect them, too. Maybe not as much as the public wants it and often when itâs already too late, but classic examples are sports events, parades and demonstrations. There you can see police forces showing up to protect people from harm.
Itâs really more about how much intel they have on whatâs going on for the police to be able to protect people, and not just to catch criminals after a crime has happened. When there is too much protection then the police would also start violating peopleâs freedom. Itâs a thin line for them.
In the US, all police are trained to put their lives and perspectives first before anyone else, whether in a local or federal jurisdiction. Shoot first, ask questions later, cover up if needed.
European and Japanese police are more like a modernized version of a âCity Watchâ, trained to put the needs of their community and neighbors above their own.
Then we have various results from Asia, South America, and Africa, where developing governments and military conflict often leave police forces vulnerable to corruption.
The lesson: if you live in a country with a âjustâ police force, youâre in the minority, the rest of the world lives under the constant threat that at any moment that theyâll annoy the wrong cop, and their life will be over.
Thatâs actually a great idea for eve, âRogueâ Concord officers who fire randomly on suspect ships, like an Incursion, âThis system is currently occupied by a more aggressive type of Concord than normalâ

What âthug ideasâ are you talking about? This is straight from the lore, these arenât my ideas, I didnât make this up. Go read the novels and the chronicles.
Just stop. If the media here suddenly decided they wanted everyone to hate doctors, every new headline would be about which doctor this week committed malpractice. Despite the media sensationalism, good cops still outnumber the bad ones 100,000 to 1. Hell, after Columbine, the media had the public panicking any time someone wore a trench coat.

You wouldnât believe how corrupt CONCORD is. As a Minmatar pilot it is really hard to make a living wage in the Amarr Empire. Every time I try to engage in commerce I can be sure that some privileged corporate fat cat in a blingy hauler will contact CONCORD to blow up my ship. To add insult to injury my insurance company refuses to cover the losses. Iâm lucky that there are some good-hearted people in EVE who are gifting ships to hard-working pilots like myself.
And donât get me started on the criminal justice system. I may have made a few mistakes in my younger days, resulting in a criminal timer or two. I have done my time, and of course no parole or early release for a Minmatar pilot. What is really discriminatory is that after I have properly served my sentence the faction police is still chasing me due to âsec statusâ.
If sec status was scrapped from the criminal system it would allow a lot of disadvantaged pilots to seek gainful employment, where now they are sometimes forced to make regrettable choices just to pay the monthly rent.

Bumping adds nothing to to the game but the ability to grief others. Games that openly allow griefing or are designed around predatory systems that include character progression donât grow, they shrink. Time passes, more players become able to wield more resources, they become bored, and turn to griefing. They find they canât effectively grief others like them, so they turn to the new, the inexperienced, and the unwilling.
Look at the recent limited sandbox release Sea of Thieves, initially devs stuck to the plan of letting people âdo as they pleaseâ and quickly learned that in todayâs gaming environment, users are jaded because the market is crammed full of cookie cutter idle-type or arena-type cash grabs. If you give people the ability to inflict themselves on others without risk, they will choose to do so, repeatedly, preventing any type of play except for griefing, and driving players who would otherwise be contributing to the world population away. Trolled once? Oh well, try a new round. Trolled twice? That sucks, but it happens. Trolled every single time you log in? Might be a slight exaggeration of the average userâs experience, but there are many new players, especially ones who fall for the autopilot trap in the tutorial, who feel this way, and it lowers their incentive to stay on as long time players, or become omega players.
The collision mechanic probably needs to be removed entirely except between members of the same fleet, and between ships and objects, until they can come up with a way for the system to determine the difference between intentional and unintentional bumps, obviously a ship undocking from a station wouldnât be marked as intentionally colliding with others.
What do you mean?
Bumping adds a whole layer of relevance to manual piloting and game play around the âphysicsâ of entering warp. It is useless against almost every ship in the game, except the largest and most powerful capital ships. Most players, especially new players never experience it as a game mechanic. It is only relevant for those flying capital ships.
I mean, I am not going to claim it is perfect, nor that there couldnât or shouldnât be some limitation to it in highsec, but I donât see how you can claim it a âonly griefing toolâ. At a minimum, it is used regularly to prevent capital ships from escaping by savvy pilots who donât happen to have sufficient points on hand.
Exactly, it is only used to grief those who would otherwise be beyond the reach of you inflicting yourself on them.
