Says the person who just did…10 minutes ago.
Hey…I can be even more unafraid by never undocking. I beat you ! Hey, everyone, look how unafraid I can be in an NPC station. I can sit here and brag to my heart’s content. Nananana…nobody can get me.
I can’t be bothered. I’m too busy taking on baiters in a ship that probably has less EHP than them. …you know, taking actual risk.
Lol! Sure. Keep thinking that. Stay far away from me while telling me how easily I can get blown up in this game. We are done here.
But seriously. Feel free to show up in my section of the cosmos and try your luck.
Calm down miner
Glenduil defeated Gloria too? 
Its never too late for the playerbase to affect change. Blackout proved this, contrary to the incessant whining of those who pushed for the poorly named ‘delayed local’ as the solution to their own boredom.
This is a matter of interpretation.
I have a null security space character, and I have an alt for high sec incursions, along with a trade alt. Nothing in CCP’s message indicates the best way to play the game is to spend 5k on a PC that can run 30 accounts.
Removal of the red dot started off as one request.
The Summer of Rage and Blackout. Someone at CCP decided these were good ideas and they were punished for them.
Sticking to the status quo is why CCP is up for sale again. Either EVE will continue to loose players and die ( and there will be a significant relief from those who are here because they do not want to let their fellows down ) or it will get better because CCP gets feedback and acts on it to make positive changes.

One client would have the minimal amount of input delay, to that client on focus, not the entire machine. Though really if you are concerned about the impact to the rest of your applications you should be mad at CCP already for adding so much bloat to the game. When the 3d citadel interiors came out a guy in the UK figure out with their 4090 getting blasted EVE costs fifty pence an hour to run.
Agreed. The sec status loss can be offset by tokens, which makes ganking a function of ISK.
This is the worst aspect of industrialists, they think they are the next ‘nobody will be as big as indy as me’ Krupp and try to do stuff as a solo, only to get mad they cannot.
This “EVE Working As Intended” though there is some blame to be had for nobody telling him ahead of time that he shouldn’t be flying alone in an Orca.
No, they are mad that they ‘pirates’ operate with impunity because the game lacks meaningful consequence and accountability.
Formulaic. Sad.
Gankers can’t hit me in station, and they loose their bottle when they come into null.
Its a %100 win rate though, right?
Try to respond to one point at a time.
This wall of text approach is not effective.
The consequences for CCP aren’t even remotely comparable in direct income loss.
With Blackout they changed back to the solution that granted them more income (aka Reverting Blackout: players staying/coming back, subbing more accounts vs. Blackout = losing subbed accounts).
What you want is that they chose is solution that will cut their income. If Blackout proved anything, than that your idea would heavily backfire and they would revert it pretty pretty soon.
Blackout was the right idea.
They should have stuck to it.
Kill the nullblocs.
Oh I agree, “local” in Nullsec should be an infrastructure feature the sov holders have to actively maintain. Disruptable. Hackable. Avoidable. Like a player-owned surveillance network that can be attacked, disabled or destroyed. And has upkeep costs.
It gives benefits as long as you can keep it running, it creates content if it is challenged and it loses its value if properly countered.
Ooooh, I like the sound of that. I think this idea has potential.

Well that was @Glenduil 's fault now wasn’t it.
A real friend would have shared his ungankable Orca
Yes…there’s a new ’ Pants Pooped Over An Invincible Ship’ column in Killboard…which registers a hit if you even come within 20 systems of said ship. It seems I now have 50,000 losses, measured by the new Killboard ‘Fear-ometer’. I will have to hide or use a new alt…to escape the shame.
He wasn’t alone. He was simply the target of the diamond rats. The others couldn’t get home and back with combat ships in time to save his Orca. When I’m on and see the rats, I’ll usually park a combat ship in the field to offer defense for this very reason.
I didn’t yet have an Orca and hadn’t messed with the fit. But even if I had been, Concord doesn’t intervene when rats are attacking. There’s no 19 second timer involved. No mining ship fit can survive a warp scram and 5 diamond rats. A Vindicator on the other hand rips through them like butter!
It’s CCP acquiescing to the whiny feedback that has left EVE ‘safer’…and thus actually less of a place that anyone is incentivised to log into. Mining is inherently boring, and whatever short term gains one might make via a ‘safer’ EVE are soon negated by those very miners getting bored stiff and leaving…as they don’t even have a bit of risk to make the game exciting.
I thought no one mined who doesn’t like it. @Zaera_Keena didn’t you try mining, find it boring, and quit for more engaging content? Why would someone play this game just to quit because mining was the only thing he or she tried? There’s Abyss, Exploration, Ratting, WH space, PvP, etc… Why just log in, mine, and quit the game because you didn’t have fun?
Just to be clear for anyone reading this thread, diamond rats can easily be avoided by miners. Just check the agency interface and avoid systems with pirate insurgencies and pirate strong holds.
This is another case where a little bit of effort and planning ahead of time will keep one safe. The key is to avoid them, not trying to build a battle mining ship that can defeat them.
(Sorry if I sound like a broken record on this topic.)
According to everything I’ve read, pirate strongholds are not permanent structures. Checking the agency window and seeing that there isn’t a stronghold just means that there isn’t one right now. When one gets destroyed, it appears in a new random location. There is no proof that there are any high sec systems will never get a pirate stronghold.
If you’re just mining Veldspar, they’re easy to avoid, but if the system is your home and it’s moon mining day, it’s a bit more difficult. That’s a lot of money to let go to waste. The best course of action is to have a combat pilot standing by ready to defend the fleet.
You’re right on this. One has to check every day for a new one.
So mine in your Vindicator then
I will do that. The moment CCP lets me fit mining lasers without losing any of those beautiful guns.
