> [@Murder\_Maid](#): > > Only thing I can think of that did something similar was resident evil when that dog bursts through the window. There’s a scene in the original Doom 3, where the guy is standing at a mirror in a washroom and all of a sudden the hordes of hell appear in the mirror. I almost jumped out of my skin, as it was so un-expected. I hate jump scares. Nothing in EVE is ever quite that sudden…or unexpected. ---

(Theres a guy in my system trying to find and kill me!) Go somewhere else (Hes following me!) Warp to a safe (Hes combat scanning me down!) Dock up. (I can not leave station, he is still there and not leaving! He is waiting for me!) Welcome to Eve Online. A game where you try to PvE but instead are chased into a station by a ganker and forced to dock up and go do something else with your life or play another game. Atleast in high sec it happens significantly less. ---
