Security status effects tethering

See, hunting vents with a dual warp scram stealth bomber is a lot of fun.

I love humming the “baby shark song” as I sneaky sneak up to them. And then boom! The reveal. By then it’s too late! They are snared!

I also enjoy using a tactical destroyer/Heron to probe them down, BM them the get the drop on them with a venture or mining barge.

And

I think Gix hit the nail on the head here:

I think, you really have no idea what it is you are commenting on. Have you ever PvPed? Have you ever done a gank? Have you even gone to low sec?

You have the option to fight back against facpo

I pretend I’m a fellow miner, get up close to them, then warp my Comet right on top of them. Worked well with the Empire ore anoms around Athounon. Mining for the State never felt so good. Battle Herons would work well too.

Thank you. I knew about FacPo hunting players with sec status of -5 or less, but I did not know they would shoot a ship you had ejected from and were not actively piloting.

CCP is viewing ganking as premium now?
You have to pay plex to gank in high sec.

Another trash change in a long string of trash changes. Imagine that there is a pvp game where pvp constantly gets nerfed or content removed. Well wait we don’t have to imagine this such a game exists right here. This affects way more than just gankers. What about people that want to go on a roam in low sec? I guess no doing that anymore because you might not be able to dock when you decide to come back. Ccp caving into whiners yet again. :face_vomiting::face_vomiting::face_vomiting::face_vomiting:

Your gaming style makes a funny sound when it dies.

Best thing to ever happen to EVE.Finally.

Loving the :salt:

I am glad that CCP finally did this, however I would make a single change to this, simply that -10’s can dock in their own alliance or corp structures.

As I have said previously in this thread I do not agree with blocking docking access to structures.

Tethering was a major issue and removed AG counter play, some AG hunters have got their gameplay back, maybe they will start playing again, who knows? This is fun, you scan down the gankers get on them and point, you can start whittling down their fleet and have an impact. It was pretty sickening to see fleets of gankers sitting on tether AFK for hours and not being able to do a damn thing about it.

With this change people who are being targetted by scouts can chose to try to run through quickly, or can hang around to tire out the gankers who are having to warp around the place. Enabling decent counter play for AG at last.

CCP finally did something about the consequences and that makes me happy.

I would just rather them (myself included) not dock if / when criminal.

Do they just stay in limbo until the criminal timer runs out if podded, and then respawn in their home station?

That doesn’t feel like very good gameplay. There’s a lot that a character can do while docked that they wouldn’t be able to do at all if just facing a black screen with a count down timer on it showing how long before they spawn again.

Not even home station, ejected into space and spawn camped for 15 whole minutes.

(Crime & Punishment) Hard mode!

Well buddy as you can see, they will always go too far.

Please. More people aren’t gonna AG.

They just gonna keep crying to daddy CCP to save them.

Just going to oppose to this;

  • Changing the security settings for Alpha accounts and removing the option to disable safety (“Safety red”)

Capsuleer’s who want to start their pilot as a Pirate will be denied unless paying the lowest amount of Omega 3 day trial (wkend deal)

They can start their pirate career from Lowsec.

In truth that is a hard one for me too, it was something I never asked for or wanted based simply on the fact that I wanted Alpha players to be able to experience Eve without too much limitation.

I would be interested to see the metrics behind this, I wonder how many people were using massed Alpha accounts to gank, how were they getting around the controls and why CCP were unable to police it?

So take my reply as not being happy with that part too, for me it is perfectly fine for Alpha accounts to be able to gank in hisec.
