Maybe. I never rage quit, I normally just fade away in games. Long ago, I was playing Star Trek Online, and they had a currency like Plex over there, where you were allowed to exchange it. They limited the amount you could exchange so this created a massive backlog. You could spend months waiting in queue to get your currency. I made a joke of the system in their forums, but they no longer have forums for the game anymore or I would link it. o7 ---

I am finding It thrilled to survive a gank. Ganking is the rollercoaster part of EvE!!! For both sides, the ganker and the ganked one. Just my humbke opinion ---

Back when I use to mine way back before the ice, id go to the forge just for the experience. I tended to either optimize for a two sec warp with the vehture, or troll with a higs anchor. Sometimes id map the rocks and if the catalyst dropped in at zero I’d warp out at around 15 and them back on the otherside of the belt. Sadly the better you get at mining the more it looks like you don’t undock. @Serge_Le-Red ---

I tended to either optimize for a two sec warp with the vehture, or troll with a higs anchor. Sometimes id map the rocks and if the catalyst dropped in at zero I’d warp out at around 15 and them back on the otherside of the belt. I’d always mine on the other side of the belt to the main landing point. Most gankers need a ‘warp in’ point…which is often another mining ship or some friendly looking ship that gets close…so I’d never let any ship get too close. If course, really sneaky gankers can use a cloaked ship, which uncloaks just before warping the fleet in. But I’d likely notice that too…as all the places where I mined were usually completely devoid of players. ---
