A lot of people are about to scream and complain about this topic. Many will say this is not an issue and its all working as intended trying to keep this as a norm, mainly those who benefit to greatly from highsec piracy and ganking. I will get told I am wrong, slandered, insulted and berated. SO here we go.
Its a true wonder why piracy is has not been punished harder. It would be a great help for the highsec pve carebears who want to be left alone from the elitists and general pvp of the game.
Easy ways to solve this issue is to not allow Pirates or people with extremely negative rep to be ban from using highsec Gates. To have Concord put up warp bubbles to target pirates and kill them. Have concord send out logistical ships to repair and keep players being ganked by high pirates alive. Some of the ideas to deal with pirates are so basic its very dumbfounding that systems like this are not in place to such high and advanced societyâs that are in Eve.
I really would love to come back to the game but High Sec PvP is just to toxic to deal with getting constantly ganked. If found myself getting ganked in smaller ships like frigates and Destroyers just as often as larger ships like battleships. I find it hard to even use mining barges without getting ganked.
For all of you who say this is just apart of the game and I should just deal with it, I whole heartedly disagree with you. High sec Pirates and associated ganking should NOT be a thing in this game.
Have you tried contacting your local government representative or regulatory body?
Itâs very obvious that CCP WONâT do anything about this (either because they donât know how, or worse yet, because they support criminal activity), so itâs obvious that weâll need to seek relief elsewhere. Since these scumbags are destroying real-life financial assets (where do you think the PLEX in my cargo came from, you basement-dwelling virgin idiots!?), it should be feasible to get lawmakers involved in this matter to get these people sanctioned for their criminal activities.
Iâve been writing my local House representative for a while now, and I suggest you do the same (or the closest analogue for wherever you live if itâs not the US). Also, if you get killed and the loss is considerable, donât hesitate to file a police report, because you want this down on paper somewhere.
With some luck, weâll be able to pass regulations that would make it illegal for game makers to allow such acts in their video games, and CCP will have to adjust their game to reflect the needs of the people who play it, and to be compliant with local laws, or theyâll be barred from doing business where weâre successful, which would hurt their bottom line, so obviously they wonât let it happen.
In a perfect world, weâd also be able to enforce real-life legal consequences on video game gankers, but thatâs a longer-term goal, and we need to do this strategically in order to not lose the initiative completely.
Thatâs a joke. You canât even post a thread thatâs even a little spicey in the forums. They donât âsupportâ criminal activity, they cater to the whinny gankers who donât know how to do anything else.
If you want help, I can teach you. And if not, go play Elite Dangerous or something, and stop trying to kill other peopleâs game play because you are incapable/unwilling to learn from your mistakes.
How about you take some precautions instead. You were flying Marauders, which were tanked pretty sparingly for what they were, around popular mission hubs. At least Apanake is one, not sure about Osmon.
If you want to not be a worthy target, you have to fly something relatively cheap (like a T1 battleship) and tank it properly, which in case of armor tank would probably mean dual plates, DCU, some membranes and a full set of T1 armor rigs.
Also have the local chat in itâs own window with the list of players visible (this should probably come standard). You will see it light up with flashy reds before any gank.
So, why are you not pinging d-scan every 3 seconds and keeping an eye on local?
Why are you not pre-aligned?
Why are you not taking precautions to protect your space ships and expecting everyone else to do it for you?
Pixel Space is dangerous mate. Itâs how CCP designed it. High-Sec is exactly that. Higher security. But it doesnât say anything about being a âsafe-space.â Thatâs what stations and station spinning are for.
âGankerâ isnât EVE lore. Itâs Pirate and Jack Sparrowâs case is definitely not the generality. Moreover, to base judgment on an entire section of players who are merely playing the game according to its rules on some Hollywood movie character is a new one.
Participate in many in-game professions and activities, including war, politics, piracy, trading, and exploration, across 7,000 star systems with hundreds of thousands of other players.
âpiracy, trading, and exploration, across 7,000 star systemsâ
âin-game professions and activitiesâ
Player pirates in highsec are intended. Piracy as a player career option is advertised âacross 7,000 star systemsâ right now by CCP.
Highsec is part of those 7,000 star systems.
Player piracy is intended and supported by CCP.
I respect your opinion that:
But, I disagree.
I think player piracy should be encouraged, as it keeps Highsec from being boring in my opinion.
Iâm actually all for ganking in highsecâŚit prevents life becoming boring, and also provides opportunity for anti-gank roleplay.
But I do think there has to be a better way of doing things. For example, it is totally absurd that people with -10 security status can tether up at highsec structures.
I also find it absurd that whilst all the rest of us know precisely who all the pirates are in any system, Concord seem to forget. Everyone being treated equalâŚdespite the fact that we all know that pirates are only in a system for one reason, is absurd. There ought to be some form of penalty for being a member of a ganker groupâŚafter all, Eve doesnât seem to have any problem associating people with their group when it comes to denying repair capability.
So you have the absurd situation where 40 gankers in Uedama can gank 800 ships in one afternoonâŚand the thick officers of Concord never stop and say â hold onâŚhasnât that character already ganked 22 ships here today ? â
How do gankers get away with claiming ganking has been nerfed, when a few dozen can gank 800 ships in an afternoon ??
