Hello there is a lot of ganking going on and i would like to suggest a pop up when you undock in high sec if your ship has fitting or cargo worth more than 100M ISK that warns about ganking.
The color representing high sec systems should also be turned into yellow regardless of their security status to more accurately reflect the situation? Have a nice day.
It is not uncommon for ships with fits with a value below 100M to get ganked, so maybe the warning should show every time you undock. If people dont like the warning they can disable it?
I think the game just needs to emphasize the risk of ganking and the ways to avoid it more than a popup that gets in your face every time you try to undock
What do you mean by âa lotâ, Dchill? Be honest; donât you really believe that, under the current mechanic, any amount of ganking isâŚtoo much?
Iâm not going to ask you to prove your claim, for I believe it to be an impression youâve gained as a consequence of your extreme sensitivity to the issue. A subjective wobble rather than an objectively derived opinion, then.
I havenât checked everywhere but there are some rules/tips listed in the forums on the steam side of things which cover this. Iâll repost them here.
THE GOLDEN RULES OF EVE
Be able to afford a loss
Never fly something (or with something in the cargo) you canât afford to lose. Yes, not even in highsec. Meaning that you should not fly a ship you cannot afford to replace and refit.
Consent to PvP
You consent to PvP when you click âundockâ.
You are not safe in 1.0 security space. CONCORD is there to punish, not to protect. Get used to the idea.
In most cases, the only way to be 100% safe from agression inside the game is to be docked in a station. Being cloaked in a secret safespot could work too.
Everyone can scam - and so can you
Never grant corporation rights to stuff you canât afford to lose either. No exceptions.
People offering free stuff? Probably traps. Be cautious.
Free stuff usually isnât. Not even minerals you mine yourself.
If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Paranoia pays off here. Double-check everything.
Scamming and unethical behavior some would consider griefing is not only allowed, it is encouraged and rewarded by the game mechanics.
Harrasment or real-life threats are not ok, and you can get a shiny ban for them. Learn the difference.
Experience matters, not ISK or Skills
Just because some character is just a few minutes old doesnât mean heâs a newbie. Many people have alts. The reverse is also possible, people come back after very long breaks, and characters are sold. You could see year-old newbies around too.
Skills that take less than 1 day to train are short skills. Over one week is long.
Youâre in this game for the long haul. Donât expect to do something meaningful in the grand scheme of things in the first day of your first trial account ever.
All other things being equal (experience, skills), superior numbers more often win a fight rather than superior ship value. However, things are hardly ever equal.
Total skillpoints count doesnât matter much either, itâs level of relevant skills to the current situation that does. Yes, that does mean a 2 mil SP combat-oriented newbie could badly beat up a 60 mil SP industry-oriented veteran.
Bigger is not always better
More expensive stuff is not always better stuff.
Slightly better stuff usually costs many times more than slightly worse stuff. Choose wisely.
Tech-2 is usually cheaper and better, but harder to fit. Sometimes itâs not better. Other times itâs not cheaper. And occasionally, neither cheaper nor better.
There are no âsolopwnmobilesâ in EVE. Everything you can fly blows up if itâs shot hard enough.
With enough skills and experience, ship size really doesnât matter all that much.
Use the in-game info
Show Info and Variants->Compare are your best friends. Use it on all stuff you can.
Always check your ship insurance before you undock. If itâs a T2 ship however⌠not that important.
Unfair circumstances?
There is no such thing as âa fair fightâ or âan unfair fightâ. Thereâs only a fight. Circumstances are irrelevant.
Just because you can fly something doesnât mean you should.
You will lose stuff, donât worry!
If you PvP long enough, you will lose your ship. Itâs only a matter of where and when.
If you logoff in space without a PvP timer, youâre only safe after 2 minutes⌠and then only until you log back in. If you logoff with a PvP timer, itâs at least 15 minutes. Bottom line, once a fight started, donât logoff. Youâll only die anyway.
Somebody, somewhere has better skills than you, more experience than you, is smarter than you, has more friends than you and can stay online longer than you. Just pray heâs not out to get you.
If you lose stuff, itâs almost always your fault. Really, only yours.
But if you ignore that, do no research, and donât understand that EvE is Everyone vs. Everyone ALL THE TIME, thatâs player error. Even the market is competitive.
