No one can destroy my mining ships and certainly not you. The cost to do so is just way more than the ships are worth. You couldn’t destroy my Hulk in a 0.5 system with me watching YouTube videos. ---

Like your standpoint makes no sense at all. First you complain that ganking is evil and gankers get their way. Then you lash out at people telling you how to protect yourself. Now you want to gank someone else for being good at protecting their ships. What are you doing here??? With confused regards -James Fuchs ---

Nah dude…. The first mention of me doing what you are doing and inconveniencing you, you start going on like a grandma with wet pants and you exploded.

Good advice? Like train armor skills to 4 shield skills to 5 Shield tank your ships have the Orca equipped with both a shield burst and a remote shield booster with all of those skills trained to 5 There are some good tips for you. A Skiff can defend itself from gankers. A Hulk needs help from an Orca. A max yield Hulk with T2 shield mods can reach nearly 50,000 EHP with an Orca by its side. If the Orca has a remote shield booster as well, that’s even more protection. That’s why you’d never scare me if you came into my system. I also employ 2 heavy shield drones to orbit the Hulk. I’m a fan of overkill. It’s going to take a few Catalysts to get the job done. And if you ever did get crazy and enter with an overpriced armada, the Orca can shelter the Hulk just like a Bowhead and it only takes a couple of mouse clicks. If you’re prepared and you plan ahead and practice, you can survive in this game. ---

What you’re not allowed is _guaranteed success_ while playing the game the way you want to. Eve isn’t a game that offers an experience free from interference by other players. It never has been, and this is pretty central to the overall philosophy of the game. > [@Sepathori\_Raphadon](#): > > Pirates get their eway whilst everyone else just has to pay and are not allowed to enjoy the game they want to . I do not engage in highsec piracy, yet I don’t have to “pay” and I am allowed to enjoy the game the way I want. How is that possible? ---

The game is far to reliant on multi boxing whales and ganking, EVE is like crack head it cant give those up now it would crash out. They both serve CCP greed meat grinder. Multiboxing whales are how CCP gets richer and Ganking is how stuff blows up and keep the prices high and demand for plex high. Ganking serves a purpose in some aspect how much or how little really depends, I am not saying i want a carebear utopia. But 12 dudes named dude1 through dude12 all ganking its clearly one guy and too far IMO. ---
