> [@DeMichael\_Crimson](#): > > Nope, EVE Online has a pop-up warning message that appears on-screen when players attempt to jump from High Sec space into Low, Null, W-hole and Triglavian systems so if they do jump, then they already accepted and know about the risk… Players lose their ships in highsec all the time to NPCs…without any warning. It is thus abundantly clear that highsec is not safe. NPCs even appear in the asteroid belts. So it is utterly dishonest to pretend that noobs are oblivious to any and all danger in highsec just because no warning message flashes up when they undock. ---

Either you’re actually dense or just being obtuse about it simply out of spite… The only one here being dishonest is you… After doing the Tutorial and Career Agents, brand new players already know about NPC’s being in High Sec space… More importantly, you can’t get revenge on AI NPC’s… And before you say players can get revenge on NPC’s, revenge is both psychological and physical… It’s primary intention is to impact the target’s mind and emotional state, forcing the target to feel the same powerlessness, shame and vulnerability that they had inflicted… Now please just stop clutching at straws… ---
