On the contrary, I would have all of those things available in those systems.
If a veteran player wants to “exploit” this safety by repeatedly rolling new characters to make 1.5 million ISK per hour Venture-mining or killing lowest-tier belt rats, let them. They could be making more (even with repeated losses factored in) doing literally anything else, so if they want to limit themselves like that, they’ll only be doing the rest of the player base a favor by reducing supply and giving more value to everyone else’s work.
Sounds like a prison that would make new players feel obligated to stay there, instead of branching out and learning the rest of the game earlier.
Easy ways to solve this issue is to not allow Pirates or people with extremely negative rep to be ban from using highsec Gates.
You mean the Pirates with extremely negative rep should be banned from High Sec by not allowing them to use High Sec gates.
I could see such a punishment happening. Such a form would see those same angry Pirates coming together on the Low side of a High Sec gate, camping it and pummeling everything that comes through the gate.
Your idea would generate more PvP, especially in High Sec systems around trade hubs or High Sec access to Low and Null that are bottle necks.
Hm, let’s see if this is reasonable by proposing the inverse: take all the risk-averse explorers, miners, and empty-ship FW farmers that cannot handle pirates, ganking, suspect baiting, or station camping, or other PVP activities, and stick them on a 1.0 island and deny them access to gates to systems 0.9 or below. They should only under very rare circumstances experience unwanted PVP this way.
Personally I wouldn’t change anything about the noob experience. That may just be bias because I wasn’t ganked on my first day. But then I did commit the folly of attacking an Autothysian Lancer on my second day…and only just got away. I doubt I’d have rage quit either way.
Eve is full of exasperating things. Like yesterday when the wormhole to nullsec HQ was gone and I logged off in a huff at the prospect of 35 jumps through nullsec…but I’ll be back.
I really don’t think one can make life easier for noobs and yet maintain the dangerous environment that makes the game what it is. But a ‘safe’ training area is I think a good option. And noobs would not be able to stay there…they could leave voluntarily before 30 days, but at 30 days would get booted out.
Pirates are punished in high-sec. It has to be the most boring PVP ever with targets so lazy and stupid getting caught in the first place. High sec players certainly don’t fight back…How boring.
Look on the map and look for very low traffic areas don’t mine near Jita, go far away. The gankers are all near Jita.
In eve if you take the easiest route then you become predictable and then you will find people sitting there waiting for you.
Open your map, look at all the area’s and plan, think if you where a ganker where would you be and so on, Eve will become fun if you think like this. Outsmart your enemy.
some time ago i gave a similar suggestion
first system , instanced , clone bay , free mining ship
station sell blueprints to do frigates , exploration frigs , destroyers…
npc buy ore on the station , low income (rating , mining , exploring)
belts , combat anomalies , noob stuff
first gate
leave … alert … you will DIE
second system … also instanced
… a noob burner like NPC to murder those who leave on the other side
died?
respawn on the first system
lived?
no stations … no gates … few % better belts and harder npcs and exploration
tbh I don’t know why the indi guys dont just come together to gank the gankers, they probibly have more money anyways and will win the war of attrition. They should make a discord and call it the sun flower federation.
Or put spy gankers in the ganker fleets and as they about to gank they turn on their own and half is attacking the target xD
Why do I feel I have accidentally summoned goshira
That would make sense I guess the people crying the loudest are the few victums.
Let’s see how many times op was ganked:
The Ark looks more like war than a gank.
I wont lie you are pretty unlucky.
O I see what is happening:
look at your killmails :] AIKO you must have said something on the forums to piss her off and then she used a locator agent to come find you.
Is this your first time complaining on forums about gankers?
O there we go yea now I see:
Just leave high sec I see you have been in low sec and stuff.
