Make autopilot usable or remove it entirely

This has just turned into another thread where Rod says its impossible to play the game, and everyone explains to him that it isnt, they do these things to make it easier and he says

“No, you are teh stupids”

Is there any point?

WHAT WILL CONVINCE YOU, ROD, TO NOT AP IN AN UNTANKED POD?

I think Rod must be trolling us.

Maybe if you could give him fitting for his pod for better tank? :thinking:

Easy.

A noobship or shuttle can tank a pod from at least one hit.

Tank your pod with better ships for better results.

Or even better, dont undock a pod.

Best tank.

If you dont use autopilot, it is for all intents and purposes, removed from the game on your part.

If you do use it, you will land 10km from gate, whether you are afk or not, just like everyone else that uses it.

Someone /thread me, please, so this can end.

Untacked? Cargohold was empty.

We regard untanked haulers on AP as a violation of the Code. So we remove them. Does not matter if your cargo is empty, it is not about the ISK, it is about the Code. Also needs a permit. That’s just how it is.

If you are interested in hauling options which will not get you into trouble we can educate you. It is never too late to learn how to EVE.

I wonder why when NPCs come into belts and shoot at a mining ship (for example) even though the miner is ‘just trying to mine in peace’ it’s an accepted risk but if players assume the role of the bad guy the risk is not accepted and instead an attack is considered some form of abuse.

Same for haulers / people in Pods on AP.

You may be 'just trying to autopilot in peace’ but there are risks. Are the tears just because the bad guys are players?

I don’t get it.

Is it taken way too personally just because of the human element? I don’t see any posts complaining about abusive Serpentis or Gurista pilots :upside_down_face:

Is it literally just because a person you can argue with did that thing to you?

We play in an always on PvP environment. There are risks everywhere. Outside of 1 week old Rookies we all know them. When you choose to take them, how can you complain when you don’t get away with it?

I think we need to remind those that die to NPCs in belts that those were programmed by human beings

Maybe that’ll rile them up :joy:

I’d be in favor of having the tank:gank ratio of a miner/hauler vs a PVP ship be equivalent to that of a player vs npc. Great idea. You should take that proposal to the CSM.

Can’t have played much, people use autopilot extremely regularly. You’re just pissed you have to be at the keyboard to travel.

To add to that … you’re doing it wrong.

Just used it last week, twice.

Nono, he really isn’t. it’s agenda. he’s a loser, though, who can’t do harm anyway. he’s not really mentally equipped for what he is trying to do. i’ve went through his posts. his lies and bad manipulation attempts are so clear to see, it’s actually funny.

Note: someone who openly calls self responsibility “tedious and extremely annoying” isn’t going to achieve anything. :slight_smile: (in b4 he changes his wording lol)

Says a guy who has made these forums his social life.

Having to scout everywhere you want to go in high sec with a second account to maintain safety is tedious and annoying, it should be enough that we must do this in low and null. How many games do you know of where 2 accounts are required to do one featured profession?

Good thing you don’t have too! Just use a scout in and around Uedama and Niarja.

Sheesh.

Really. Please use my posting history to verify that i live here. i’m sure the two, three posts a day will tell everyone how full of lies, deceit and irrationality you are, roddyboy. :slight_smile: For you, self responsibility is tedious and annoying, and apparently having friends who help you isn’t even an option. :slight_smile:

I have a heart for people who try, but don’t know what they’re doing and don’t know that they need to improve. You remind me of Veers Belvar, who’s blindspots were communication and character sculping. All his characters were immediately recognizable and he had no idea why, so i taught him. Not sure he wasn’t so full of himself that he actually understood, though. I doubt you’re any different, tbh. :blush:

That’s the best part about people like you. You all are predictable. So full of yourself, that self reflection isn’t even a consideration and minds like you usually reject self improvement, because it clashes with your belief that you’re good as you are. That also explwins the dislike of self responsibility. Your demand for “fairness” underlines this even further, because it is nothing else but the demand that no one can give you the feeling that they’re smarter than you. And oh boy, they really are.

Anyhow…

You’re around 5-8 years too late with this, you don’t actually understand how to forum PvP and you lack the ability to actually reach out to the people. Your hateful, selfish intention is as transparent as glass and there is no way you will ever achieve anything. You’re not original, but a copy of a copy of a copy of all those who were exactly like you. Exactly, and to the point. Just like the rest of the lot, eventually people will drop forum bombs onto you, which will lead to you making even more mistakes.

Forum PvP. :slight_smile:

There are a lot of smart, considerable posters around. You’re outwitted, outsmarted and outclassed.

Good luck and please, keep on posting. :slight_smile:

You don’t need a second account. You also don’t always need to scout, just when it matters. No one said that moving billions of stuff safely in a solo hauler without escort is a game feature. It is quite clear from the game description that EVE is a destopian universe where immortal capsuleers compete with each-other.

Look, it’s really not that hart and there are multiple things you can do to make yourself almost 100% safe in Highsec. The only thing you have to do is to ACTUALLY PLAY THE GAME and chose the right ship and fitting for the thing you want to do.

CCP is not gonna help you play the game. We are however, because we are nice people and if you ask politely on the forums how you should go about doing something people will patiently explain and help you so you can enjoy the game doing whatever you want to do.

agreed, that’s the answer for everything is having more accounts, oddly enough with ccp promoting multiple accounts like they do, there is a bit in the eula last I read that’s doesn’t recommend it as it could damage your hardware and ccp isn’t liable lol

How many games do you know where the expected outcome of a scenario like:

  • flying big slow thing full of valuable cargo through dangerous area full of people that want to kill you for said valuable cargo (while not even at the keyboard, no less!)

is that you arrive safely at your destination without the slightest problem? :roll_eyes:

I could ask the old lady up the road that has never played EVE or my friends 9 year old boy what would happen in the above scenario, and I don’t think either of them would say ‘they all lived happily ever after’

That you want to do whatever you want to do in complete safety is obvious, perhaps even expected. That you think you are entitled to do so in an always on PvP environment like EVE is a concern.

  • I would like to walk through Anor Londo in Dark Souls admiring the magnificent architecture at my leisure, but there are a few nasty chaps there that would have a thing or two to say about that.

  • I’d quite like to gently canter my horse across the Suez desert in Battlefield 1 but a few dozen enemy tanks, planes, trains, snipers, artillery cannons and machine guns would no doubt disturb my pleasant afternoon ride in the sunshine.

  • I imagine quite a few people were just settling down to a nice cup of tea in front of the fire on Aldaraan when something looking a bit like a moon but not enough like a moon to fool old Ben appeared in the sky …

Unfortunately, there is no portable safe space generator you can fly around with that allows you to travel in a bubble of serene tranquility while all around you war rages.

Well, unless you play a Paladin in WoW … have you considered that? :rofl:

I know what i’m doing and I realize what is expected from the POV of a suicide ganker. From the POV of someone on the reciving end, it doesn’t seem worth playing. With such a small population wordwide and so many years to grow with a space ship mmorpg monopoly, it should be obvious that it is not just me. I can’t see many people willing to continually subject themselves to a griefers paradise where numbers trump skill to such a large degree.
