This would be disgusting.
Do not do this.
To clarify: Sometimes I will be playing one client but also doing other things on my machine.
Why should I be penalised for that?
Get to #### with this suggestion please.
Sounds about right for a commoner
Nothing of value is less than 1 billion ISK
I mean, the whole āproblemā would go away if CCP would finally come up with a good system of HS piracy instead of having a 20second math-solving rinse&repeat mechanic in the game that is tiresome and repetitive for the gankers and just frustrating for the targets.
Attacking others in HighSecurity Space should have serious long-term consequences that cannot be simply offset with ISK, you really close ways of what you can do in HS for a long time.
On the other hand other ways should open if you go that route. Options you donāt have as law-abiding citizen. Access to pirate equipment that is otherwise banned in HS, a black market without taxes and with goods you cannot trade legally on the open market, smuggler routes that offer shortcuts, rumor-mongering agencies that go way beyond locator agents and something along those lines. Ways to sabotage empire infrastructure for a short while (stargates, sentries, maybe even NPC stations) and generate content from that.
And voilĆ”, nobody would multibox 20 Catalysts any more, he would fly Pirate Ships that can do Hit&Run Assaults, like Cynabals and Machariels, to do their gameplay and they would actually fleet up with others to do so. Because then piracy would indeed be an interesing activity and your profits would depend on how good you are.

Been following this thread and while there are some things that go way up over my head, I agree with your post.
There should be a Pirate career with the elements you describe and I also think that there should be ships especially dedicated to pirates, new Omega-only ships with bigger hangars, better align time, faster warp speedsā¦ balance them so that they are better used in fleets to encourage pirates to band up instead of multibox. Make them that they canāt warp if they are all on the same grid. Force them to warp from different points in the system.
Anyway, I donāt know much about the game, sir. I just liked your post @Syzygium
Why do people make such a big do of HS ganking, when out of 10,000 highsec losses in the past week, a mere 394 were due to ganking ? In fact it is just 0.4% of all the ships killed in all of EVE in the past week. A piddling amount !
Most HS losses are to NPCs. Yet I do not think I have seen a single āstop the NPCsā thread in my entire 4 years on this forum. Why is that ?

I had a corp mate quit over diamond rats. They warped in, scrammed his warp engines, and blue up his Orca. He didnāt make a forum rage quit post, but we certainly got an earful. We havenāt seen him since.
(Iām just trying to add in some humor by fulfilling your request for a āstop the NPC shipsā post 
)
The story is true though.
They feel dumb, outsmarted and betrayed when they lose ātheirā stuff and see the pirates get away with it. They really believe that they are entitled to be left alone in a mass-multiplayer online game and that they can do whatever they want whenever and however they want it, play as convenient and lazy and sloppy as they wish without others being able to interfere.
Poor them.

Thatās amazing! Pirates feel the same way when they canāt break through a well done shield tank! They really believe they are entitled to be able to blow up any ship without like players arenāt allowed to properly fit their ships.
Thereās no such thing as ācanātā. Your supposedly invincible ship is not invincible. A fleet of 30 Talos could destroy your 700K EHP ship in 10 seconds. A fleet of 15 could probably manage it within the Concord response time in a 0.5 system. A Talos can manage around 2400 DPS.
Only yesterday a fleet of 15 Talos destroyed a 300K EHP Providenceā¦and with a value of 6bn ISK for the ship and 3.5bn dropped, it was worth the 1.5bn cost of those Talos.
I never said my ship couldnāt be destroyed
I never said my ship couldnāt be destroyed
You said that. I never did.
Againā¦
I never said my ship couldnāt be destroyed
And I really donāt give a ā ā ā ā what fleet destroyed what ship. That doesnt affect me at all. I just donāt care.

You said they ācantā break through the tankā¦so you just did. Are you getting old and forget what you said 5 minutes ago ?
They can. There was a 1 million EHP ship destroyed by Talos not that long ago.
Your inability to detect sarcasm is a YOU problem.
I dont ā ā ā ā ā ā ā care. Get it through your head and stop trolling me with with idiotic killmail records of poorly fit ships that got blown up.

Lolā¦ah yesā¦āsarcasmā. Yes, thatās a great way out of stating stuff as fact and then being shown to be talking bow locks.
Okay since it bothers you so much, letās play a game. Itās called, knowing more about ship fits than you do. My Orca has 1,000,000 EHP and 94% and 96% hybrid resists just for people like you who will once again link a kill mail of an orca that got blown up that had 190,000 EHP and thinking itās actually relevant to my ship
So Glenduil defeated all the mutlibox gankers too? 
Heyā¦Iām not the one who sounds ābotheredā.
And donāt lecture me on ship fits when I have far more types of ship ( I have all the T3 Strategic Cruisers, for example ) ā¦at the last count I had around 200 ships.
No. Just the imaginary ones that Gloria keeps insisting will blow me up anytime i post. Apparently because a lowly venture got blown up once or a poorly fit Hulk got trashed, thereās a fleet capable of doing 67 million DPS that will fry my ship in 1.0 space the instant I undock anywhere in High Sec. You knowā¦ because this fleet is far reaching and stuff.
Itās not enough that fleets like this are ultra rare and I acknowledge that my ship could be destroyed by such a fleet. No, Gloria feels like less of a man if I donāt live in fear of such an occurrence.
Hell, I had to prove to him that freighters can indeed reach 800,000 EHP
Anytime i post about tanking, he links poorly fit kill mails just to remind me that Iām still only mortal.
Maybe she wants to convince you to purchase one of them permits.
But you spend 99% of your time here bragging about your supposedly invincible ship. It pops up more times than a pop tart. Any rational person would keep quiet about their āinvincibleā shipā¦but you are like a sheep with a huge ā Bite My Assā¦Wolves !ā notice on its backside.
I sense a certain inevitabilityā¦

I do not spend 99% of my time doing that. You are just so triggered that anyone could play this game and not be afraid of PvP. You overblow everything.
You bring it up way more than I do. You talk about in threads I dont even post in. Thatās how troubled you are.
And Iāve told you. If you want to try and put some fear in me, mount up and come try your luck. You got that locator agent. You know where i am.
You can find me anytime you want. Every PvP ganker can. And Iām still standing here unafraid. I proudly post my fits letting people know exactly what Iām flying. Ballās in your court to make me feel fear.
