CODE is totally insignificant. Absolutely. We are just a small noob group that is only active in a couple of unimportant systems. Don’t worry about CODE., they are no threat to anybody.
Also you consider an alliance killing 3000 with 700 bill damage to be a dead alliance, man i want to see your alliances activity and killboard it must be absolutely awesome.
Well, at the very least, we can agree that your spelling is atrocious.
Guess who has the bigger chance of surviving a nuclear holocaust.
Sure. i’m not an AG zealot. They mostly think I’m a ganker, or “gank aligned” as a term they use in the forum.
However what makes it true is the data:
Similarly for the ISK destroyed per month (based on zkillboard figures for ISK values):
It is what it is, and the data doesn’t lie. There could be agents and knights not in CODE. ganking just as much as in the past, but other data doesn’t appear to support that either. However the image above is pretty self explanatory and no matter how much you want to claim it’s different, the data says otherwise.
Unfortunately of late, CCP don’t appear to have balanced ganking nerfs with buffs, like Fozzie claimed they prefer, so hopefully there’ll be some buffs soon’ish. More destruction is always good.
It’s down to stupid and lazy miners…
Only stupid and lazy miners fit their ships incorrectly and/or AFK mine. Denying that gets old. “Waa, mining is boring so I’m entitled to do it AFK. Please CCP make it easier.”
EDIT
" unbalanced mechanic"
Or, lazy miners that want max m3 while being semi-afk…the argument gets old for you because it was the same last year and the year before that and the year before that…they never change…
Not sure if dryson actually wrote that or just failed at quoting, but I was shocked how accurate it was.
Duh…You can gank most things with enough ships…But you want to eliminate all combat in HS so it’s not really about ganking now is it.
All you snowflake miners just want to farm in your safe-spaces all day while watching My Little Pony reruns…
No source as it’s my opinion. Your goal is to make HS combat free. This isn’t about ganking but about playing Sims in Space for you.
Sit on a station with a fast lock ship…what’s hard about that?
So regular combat between a mining ship and a combat ship…and you want that to be “balanced”? Really?
I never claimed that…that’s just you lying again.
Nope. You are trying to make a shovel vs a rifle a fair fight because you can’t comprehend why they are not equal. You also can’t comprehend that the mechanics are already in place…to you, if things are not equal then they are not fair. Denying that just proves that you more than anything want everyone to be space unicorns…surprise, things aren’t fair.
Oh so wait, you want AG to be easy and without effort? My mistake, I thought you were about balance.
So why can’t all ships then have defense fleets? Why just vs gankers? Why all this extra work and coding for CCP when clearly, if miners just fitted their ships correctly and didn’t AFK, there would be a problem…The fix is there and always has been but rather than push that, you want fleets to warp in to help the AFK miner in a COV…amazing…
I said you WANTED…not sit or fly or anything else…stop assuming.
Wait . . . so you don’t have firsthand knowledge of what you are so tirelessly preaching? You just closed your eyes and imagined?
Kinda touchy, aren’t you?
Lucas claims an extensive career as an elite ganker? Is there any evidence of this? His killboard certainly doesn’t support his claim, and I know he doesn’t believe in killboards, but without some evidence I think we can only conclude that he is claiming false valour - he is trying to claim the heroic virtue and justice of the elite gankers for himself.
At the very least, his experience seems very out of date.
I mean, since freighter ganking is so terribly easy, I can’t imagine why he doesn’t gank some freighters and scoop some of that blingy loot. He must not need the isk?
I don’t understand? Have you ever played EVE? Before the miner even logs in, he is free to ask someone to join his fleet and help protect him during his mining operation. If he fails to do that, that’s on him, but he certainly had time to form a defense fleet before undocking.
You are tying to buffer essentially non-combat ships to the level where they can fight (or have a fleet fight whatever that means) against combat ships. You are now trying to dodge that fact by claiming strawman…sorry but we all see what you are trying to do here.
Why should there be a combat counter for a mining ship or transport vs combat ships? That makes NO sense. That would be like crying that my Cats also can’t earn income mining while also being fit to gank…
We proved that you can reasonably avoid being ganked or a target…but that’s not good enough. You want to reinvent the wheel because again, the lazy guy in the cart being pulled by a mule should be able to stand-up against knights…because that would be realist and fair…please…
LOL…sure sport…you are lying again.
If a player isn’t AFK then it’s pretty easy to escape a gank…oh look, problem solved. Thanks James!
I think Lucas Kell is a very stupid man, in real life.
Ah, yes, the old “I conducted multiple simultaneous gank offensives in Vietnam, but I didn’t bother to upload anything to killboard” excuse.
Hey, here’s an idea - if you don’t like the way people in this thread are talking to you, maybe you should just stop posting? I don’t think the ISD needs to come babysit the forum simply because you like to drone on and drivel endlessly and can’t handle your emotions when someone observes your nonsense.
