Eh, he’s just another internet tough guy lying about his life for attempted virtual clout. He’s also an American living in Kentucky which carries another whole host of problems.

Nice cliche , unfortunately it’s a little more complicated than that isn’t it because of concord involvement.

If I undock in high sec I have to consent to concord protecting me or I lose my ship . CCP have chosen though to leave loopholes in this system which gankers exploit . So I have to face a one sided battle .

While still technically pvp this is a fact . So while you are correct , it’s only because of CCPs complicity in leaving the concord loopholes and choosing not to better develop gate guns or allowing the navies that sit on the gates to intervene that players can partake in this one side style of pvp .

So as I say while your technically correct it’s fairer to say you have to risk one sided pvp if you undock in high sec , hence the controversy over ganking .

It is not more complicated.

Different sectors of space carry different consequences for PvP.

Regardless, as soon as you undock, you consent to PvP.

There are no loopholes. Facpo does actually play a role. It sounds like you need to learn to EVE.

It isn’t one sided. Gank them first bruv. You can choose not to, but then that means you have a choice 😃

So to summarize:

1. Undocking means consent to PvP, ergo all PvP is consensual
2. Learn to EVE kthx

You people keep talking about “CONCORD loopholes” this and “being protected by CONCORD” that, but you never actually explain what those loopholes are, or how gankers are _protected_ by CONCORD. All you do is desperately try to obfuscate your lack of genuine arguments with outrage.

CONCORD having a **maximum** response time of twenty-something seconds isn’t a “loophole.” It’s an intentional design decision that makes the act of ganking possible _at all._

Want to try again?

“an ambiguity or inadequacy in the law or a set of rules.”

So an inadequacy in the set of rules that concord follow that means the security they provide isn’t total .

except CONCORD doesn’t provide security… Their main job is to impart justice against a criminal that does an illegal act.

Faction Police and Faction Navy work differently than CONCORD.

Except there is no ambiguity (the mechanic is well-documented, with timing tables freely available online), nor is there an inadequacy (the game mechanics are absolute and can’t be shirked in any manner) with regard to CONCORD.

You’re interpreting the “inadequacy” portion of the definition as the mechanic not being powerful enough in your favor, which is your own subjective viewpoint, and not what “inadequacy” means with regard to the definition of “loophole.” To phrase it more simply: CONCORD taking longer to respond than what **you** feel is “right” isn’t a loophole.

Sorry programing the response time to be less than as fast as possible is a loophole , a deliberate one yes and a loophole that’s bigger ( more inadequate ) in lower security systems .

the closer you get to lowsec, the slower they are going to respond cause CONCORD won’t care as you are getting further away from empire space.

- 0.5: Roughly 19 seconds.
- 0.6: Roughly 14 seconds.
- 0.7 : Roughly 10 seconds.
- 0.8 : Roughly 7 seconds.
- 0.9 and 1.0: Roughly 6 seconds

“As fast as possible” is simply instant ship destruction. So basically it sounds like you believe that ganking merely _existing_ is a loophole. In which case, stop your intellectual dishonestly and simply advocate for the removal of ganking entirely, as opposed to fixing “loopholes” that would only make it more “fair” or whatever, because obviously you want it gone completely.

Just ask for a PvP toggle like the rest of the filthy carebears do.
