Punish Pirates in high sec

The frontline is everywhere, as I used to remind Imperials when I murdered them in the hospital in Mos Eisley :smiley:

In reality, it is the player’s perception that is wrong. As has been said a billion times, high security is not total security.

If you assume everyone is trying to kill you all the time, you’ll survive a lot more :smiley:

One being another player or a group of players destroys the criminals ship.
Sorry I am unable to think of another.

Three I can think of, but the third would be an exploit I think:

  1. Players kill the ganker before CONCORD responds
  2. Sentry guns and/or Facpo kill the ganker before CONCORD responds
  3. Gank is so close to downtime that the server goes down before CONCORD arrives

But, I have no clue if any of these are the ones Aiko is referring to.

I always knew they’d one day turn Caught In Providence into a game.

The real police also issue punishments that mean something, instead of just putting a negative number on your file, and allowing you to roam freely in your capsule. Only pouncing on you if you board an actual ship.

What Concord does is the proverbial “slap on the wrist”. If that.

It fits the narrative of Eve being a typical corrupt third world country environment, and Capsuleers being big shots the police don’t want to offend.

Like when Pablo Escobar went to prison in Columbia. But he had visitors at all hours of the day, including prostitutes. Plenty of alcohol and drugs. I think after a while they decided to simply put him on house arrest, and he continued to run his drug empire over the phone.

But technically they did “punish” him.

I should add to that, though, that when you entered the Eve universe, that’s what you probably expected. Some people are just mad that they got what they came for. Perhaps expected more sugar coating on their red pill?

it is obvious that the pirates are going to defend their position because they get a lot of juice taking advantage of a bump in the game. highsec and concord were originally meant to be safe spaces to fly through, but the reality is that it’s not safe, they should somehow prohibit players from being able to shoot each other in HighSec. and all the gankers and pirates force them to do their activities in LowSec 0.4 and below. that way they could continue with their activities and HighSec would really be HighSec.

In any case, I don’t think that CCP pays attention to this matter. But it would be fair if he did.

Calm down miner. As KING of high sec I hereby declare your concerns to be invalid. Please purchase the proper permit that will allow you to mine asteroids in high sec at once. I have spoken.

No, as far as I remember high sec was never meant to be a 100% safe space to fly through. Concord is there to punish the infractor, causing them to lose their ship. Concord evasion is considered an exploit by CCP, but ganking isn’t, which clearly tells you CCP aproves of ganking and regards it as a legit activity.

they lose their ships 100% of the time for a CHANCE to have a loot drop that give them profit
the operation require coordination , timing , careful selection of targets
they are playing the game in a honest and skillful way

im not a pirate , im not a hunter , im a fighter … i lost more ships than most of the forum members
i find your complains about this subject misinformed and disproportional

Nope :smiley: Nice try revising history tho :smiley:

Nope :smiley: High sec isn’t total sec. Please biomass and boot up Stardew kthx :smiley:

Actually what you’re really suggesting is that low sec be made a vital part of the EVE heirarchy.

If it were up to me, LvL 4 missions and above/T4 abyss and above would only be able to be run in low and below :smiley:

I dash all over highsec…regularly pass through high ganker areas like Uedama…and have not been ganked in 6 months. I build ships in Jita and regularly fly ships out of there, and have never been targetted. I mine in various places as well…and have never been ganked while mining. I regularly make trips of 40 jumps or so…looking for flashies to zap or new PvE sites. Never been attacked doing this.

If I do think there will be trouble ahead, I send an expendable scout ahead to have a look. My scout has never been attacked.

Frankly…highsec is boringly safe.

What do you do when you find them?

My ex girlfriend who happens to be the Police Chief of CONCORD police department says she is too busy to protect every care bear who is afk mining in high sec. Lesson learned stop being a bot.

P.S. mining lasers cause brain damage

My ships evolve as a result of not making it…so i now fit 24km warp scrambler, sensor boosters, etc. My one ‘kill’ so far was the result, and I’m hoping for more. I also often act as ‘bait’…though I’m realising a Gnosis is not that good a bait ship ( people simply don’t take the bait ) so am gonna use a Nereus instead.

Well, you are getting a little old to still be hiding in Highsec, maybe it’s time for someone to move to lowsec?
