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.
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.
I wouldnāt be too cocky. Iāve seen cases of gankers mustering a fleet of 40 Talos, each one capable of 2000 DPS. And I donāt 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? Iām sorry! Let me try again⦠āUmm⦠yes! Ventures are all powerful!ā
Yeah, Iāve 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 thatās 40 jumps away is not an easy feat anymore. You canāt 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. Donāt 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. āOh! I see a Skiff! Letās get 30 players to log on for a 40 jump run on it!ā Thatās not a strong motivator.
Can it happen? Sure. Are the odds good? Not even close.
Umā¦in case you hadnāt noticed, the Venture did 95% of the damage. The ācruiserā 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 āpoor, defenceless, Ventureā as bait.
And when I used to mine in Azerakish, which is about as far away from AO HQ in Oipo in highsec as it gets, Iād 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. Thereās a lot more gankers out there than you think.
Can not have high expectations of someone who canāt 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 canāt blame him too much.
