On the Reality of Mining Permits

This words are music to my ears. Scammers are the most hated entity in New Eden not the Gankers.. My dream is to create the greatest Scam or Heist in Eve history.

Sure they are. Keep telling yourself that sweetie.

You talk a big game, but even your mistress passed up the chance to take down my ship. You all had your chance. Like I said, too much machine. And why would I ever buy a mining permit? After all, the one I made myself with my own signature on it was free and never expires.

You all have faded away. Lost too many members.

You do realise aā€¦ā€˜puny undefended’… battle Venture can take out a mining barge ?

I wouldn’t be too cocky. I’ve seen cases of gankers mustering a fleet of 40 Talos, each one capable of 2000 DPS. And I don’t believe even your mega EHP whatever could survive 80,000 hit points a second.

It was a Venture and a Cruiser that blew up that Retriever. I fail to see how that means that a Venture can take out a mining barge. The cruiser is capable of taking out the drones and preventing the mining barge from escaping while the Venture gets to pretend to help.

So yes- a puny undefended Venture is puny. No mining barge or Exhumer would ever lose to a solo Venture unless it simply wanted to.

Oh wait… was I not supposed to actually click that link and read about the fight? I’m sorry! Let me try again… ā€œUmm… yes! Ventures are all powerful!ā€

Yeah, I’ve seen those videos too, but coordinating that many people and getting that many people to log on with the goal of destroying a mining barge that’s 40 jumps away is not an easy feat anymore. You can’t just summon that many ships. You have to get the players behind those ships to want to log on and join you. Those days are few and far between. Don’t you get it? The old days of Eve are gone.

Absolute Will gets it done, because their goals are to destroy structures and defend against PvP. Those are stronger motivators. ā€œOh! I see a Skiff! Let’s get 30 players to log on for a 40 jump run on it!ā€ That’s not a strong motivator.

Can it happen? Sure. Are the odds good? Not even close.

Um…in case you hadn’t noticed, the Venture did 95% of the damage. The ā€˜cruiser’ was simply a Guristas NPC. I merely presented one example of many. You can find numerous solo kills by Ventures every single day on killboard. Some people even deliberately use a ā€˜poor, defenceless, Venture’ as bait.

It’s not 40 jumps if they go via lowsec.

And when I used to mine in Azerakish, which is about as far away from AO HQ in Oipo in highsec as it gets, I’d still see Safety passing through now and then.

Ironically there are often more people in the ganker channel than there are in the AO Intel channel. There’s a lot more gankers out there than you think.

Why Did you explain.. lol. :sweat_smile:. you ruined the fun… :grin:..

I’ll believe it when I see a venture solo on a mining barge that isn’t afk.

Don’t worry. He’ll still ignore reality even after having it explained :slight_smile:

Very good

Perhaphs you are ready for your leash

Can not have high expectations of someone who can’t even tell the difference between an NPC and a player on a killmail… however as he is a miner the line is kinda blurry for his kind so maybe you can’t blame him too much. :thinking:

:wink: :smirking_face: :innocent:

I’m loving the ā€˜Cruiser’ on the Barge killmail :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

Barge Pvp is bloody awesome as well

Looks like it got Defanged to me or the idiot was using mining drones

Nice kill on the Vedmak. :slightly_smiling_face:. I guess those barges aren’t fitted for mining rocks. :smirking_face:

I seriously wish the fits of the ships doing the killing were included as well, I’d love to see this one.

Not sure if you mean the Barge or the Venture but here (Sexy in Red is my Alt)

Quick look at DiamindDog’s losses show me this
