My men on the other account are not very good at piracy. They started out as miners ( who doesn’t ) and after gittn’ gud, they became not so awesome pirates. Here is the thing, one of them was killed in HS, and got a kill right and I thought, Cool now he can kill something in HS. As soon as he activated the kill right the chickenshit warps away. Later the kill right went away after my second attempt. I found out the player biomassed the character and remade them with the same name!! Why can you even do that? Seems like a massive plot hole in the whole kill right system.
If you are an alpha pirate, you need to be twiddle fingers, to attack in HS on a kill right. Once active you need to be very quick to target and kick the idiot light or it will remind you that you are not allowed to attack on the yellow setting. Meanwhile your target is kicking in their warp drive and speeding off. That sucks to no end.
BTW shouldn’t there be a hold on biomassing any character with a kill right? Not that it matters, kind of feels like they are bypassing the game mechanic to me. Bypassing fun seems to be the norm in this game. I am sending the boys back into LS to do some nasty pirate stuff or die trying. If they cannot get it together, by the end of next month, I am returning them to mining and hauling services.
Have fun!

I don’t know about “100% mining”. I’d go out of my mind if I did that for even one hour. But I know I suck so bad at PvP ( in any game ) that I would only try it in a free ship.
Good thing there is enough play in EVE to do other things. I like to attack NPCs, do Industry and work the Market.
I feel bad that I can’t PvP to save my life while EVE is a PvP game but I also can’t play guitar and do other things like cut wood with an axe so that’s some consolation.
Not everyone is cut out for everything. What matters is that the few things we’re cut out for are done well, even very well.

Someone is hallucinating alts.
On topic, why not both? I like both mining and spaceship combat.

That is my go to source of income with the 3 princesses, I gas mine in LS every time I play them. I also do abyssal, an other PvE with them, but the mining pays the bills. I mine AFK most of the time. I find a gas site with my venture ( 10 million isk ship ) not free but cheap. Then it takes 50 minutes to fill the hold. Most of the places I pick are very remote. So I watch Disney+ or NetFlix watch one show and return to a dead ship or a full ship. When I actively mine a cloud, it needs to be valuable for the attention. I don’t wait for a full load, I randomly run chunks back to dock to avoid a total loss. I do agree mining is very mundane and I have suggested things to spice it up.
My 3 boys are all alphas pirates and some of my friends have stated they need more skilling, but that doesn’t happen for free after 5 million SP and the road to 20 million is a slow long one. I feel I need to put more skills into selective categories. I think they need to run battle cruisers, at present they operate cruisers at best. I know they could gate camp or plunk ventures very easy, but I am not that heartless.
@kage1982 sorry I didn’t get to read what you said here. I am totally against censorship, no matter what you said. If you care to repeat it in game mail message system, I won’t block you. Your opinion does matter.
Well with me, I am still attempting to do both mining and PvP combat, if the boys get sent back to the mines, they will need more time to git gud.
Have fun!

What is the problem? Can’t catch a ship with a killright? There are some in Jita - you can pay for Tornado or Transport… depends on your financial status. They would be happy if you activate a killright as easy money for them and fun for you.
@Honoka_Kawai I am saying, since alpha idiot lights resets to yellow in HS, I am finding it easier to PvP in LS. This means people who attack you in HS are more likely to be omega, unless they use a kill right. The system is mechanically flawed, in two ways; 1. Allows a character with a kill right to erase it with biomass and 2. Making it difficult for alphas to get a shot off at the target. Good luck locking them after you activated the kill right. This much is certain, I won’t be paying for kill rights in HS any more, thus I will be working in LS or under.
@Aiko_Danuja I know the rules, I am just stating, I didn’t get to read what nasty things they said, which is not how the ancient Greek and Roman forums originally worked. I fully understand it was something written that offended someone. I never easy offend, as I have stated before, words don’t offend me, people offend me. If FC wants to censor their forums, that is up to them, since they own it. I only wish they would handle it differently. For example; one of the better methods to deal with offensive posts by a gaming forum, was to send them to another thread titled “The Lower Depths”. The post was moved there and a link remained behind telling you where to continue that conversation. The positive about this forum is they don’t toss you to the lions or make you drink poison as in they did in the good old days.
Have fun!
Up to you, but funny to see how people activated killright on me twice this week when I’m already -10. Looks like they were not interested in a kill but in an activation of killright for 0 isk.

I´d recommend to give faction warfare a try. You can participate in a tech 1 frigate of your taste. With a few ISK you can fit quite a few ships. That way you learn the basics while earning some ISK. FW-Folks are mostly laid back. If you join a FW-corp with your PVP-Alt im pretty sure you get tought how it works.

I will have the boys try it. Can’t hurt anymore than getting blown up, and they excel at getting blown up. Thanks.
Have fun!
