Solo miners, are you making a loss when you factor in electricity usage?

Yelling out “our words cut deeper than your knife!” as you’re getting slaughtered like a farmhouse hog sounds very poetic on paper, but at the end of the day, you’re still just someone’s dinner pork chop. :kissing_heart:

Lol…you really think that losing an amount of ISK on par with about 3p in real life is even gonna pay for that pork chop ? I’m in other virtual worlds where I pay the equivalent of 3bn ISK a month just for a house to live in. Thus far Eve is peanuts to me…which…is precisely why I can laugh at it all, and some of the overly pretentious people in it.

Heck, the half eaten biscuit the dog left outside has been ‘slaughtered’ more.

Yeah, but you’re not the only one getting ganked. The forums have been filled with gank victim tears for as long as the game has existed.

Also, you sure have put in a lot of words on the topic for someone not at all upset about their loss (don’t get me wrong, I know all of this is a ruse, but it is what it is).

Where did I ever say I was upset ? Don’t you recognise someone having a damned good laugh and mocking the situation ( and the pretentious people ) ?

I’m far from being the only person who finds the entire dynamic of what is laughably called ‘high security’ utterly bizarre and even bordering on insane. ‘Security’ managed by a police force that effectively PROTECTS blatantly suspicious criminals sitting right under their nose. WE all know the people sitting at that gate are gankers…but apparently the police force in 23341 is SO advanced and AI recognition so well developed that the police don’t.

The entire dynamic is on par with the local rl police giving burglars a police escort to your door and standing outside to protect them in case you proactively thump one of them to prevent your car being stolen. Because, of course, the fantastically advanced 23341 police, circling around in their 23341 BMW X8s in this ‘highly secure’ area, would make YOU the criminal for even thinking about doing that. One can only hope the REAL 23341 is not implemented by people who’ve escaped from the same padded cell those who designed this functionality in Eve clearly escaped from.

Friend, this is a video game, not real life. The police “protecting criminals” makes about as much sense as asteroid belts replenishing their rocks every 24 hours. If you start bringing RL into this, you’re just going to get the thread locked.

Of course its a video game…but even in a video game I’m entitled to laugh at the physics defying antics of Skyrim dragons, wonder why people on a planet on the other side of the galaxy are dressed up as Romans, laugh at an emperor called Martin while everyone else has fancy names, and so on. Violating the 4th wall of virtual worlds often provides some of the funniest moments.

By the same token I laugh at ‘high security’ in Eve.

Huh. You gotta be actively trolling now. Surely you can’t believe this right? ROFL.

Miners def don’t pay attention every second. You keep using the excuse of going AFK and how miners can’t and supposedly gankers can. Yet that is very false. Going AFK brings risks for all playstyles. Hence why if you go AFK, you should safe or dock.

If you don’t, you accept the risks.

And mining in a cata? LOL no one mines in a cata.

Local is the best tool. Literally no skill can defend against it. And uh how hard is to press V? Seriously?

Uh wut. No it won’t. Ok I get it meow, you are just trolling. Should have seen it earlier, but the repetition finally gave you away. Sigh. Should have caught on sooner.

LOL, you are still on zkills as one of the most valuable losses there.

That’s lag on your side. Nice anecdotal evidence tho :smiley: Just spouting straight lies now huh?

No where is 100 percent safe cept in the station. Yet, he is right. He is mining somewhere quiet, which affords him a greater degree of protection. Trust me, EVE ain’t hard unless you make it hard.

Good thing EVE is a vidya game.

No, we’re all moving into the Metaverse of the Matrix with AR headsets.

Prepare the EMP.

What part of ’ I even have people sometimes mining nearby in Catalysts ’ wasn’t clear the first time round ? Do you practice being condescending or does it just come naturally ?

Nah…the person who twists and turns, even to the point of contradicting themselves, is actually you. You don’t actually respond…you just throw out yet another silly one liner platitude that actually totally ignores what has been said. That is the very definition of trolling.

No, I just straight up don’t believe you. Why would you mine in a cata when the venture has bonuses. a hold and +2 scram?

This ain’t 2007. No one is mining in a geddon. So yes, I am saying you are straight up lying.

Oh no, I addressed your false claims in earlier threads and posts. You simply repeat the same false info each time.

I could not care less what you ‘believe’. If I have actually seen someone mining with a Catalyst…and I have…then what Gix Almighty has to say about it is utterly irrelevant. Your mere opinion does not trump what I have seen with my own eyes.

Lets just add “cant operate DScan properly” to the list.

Yet you got no proof either. So all you got is opinion :smiley: I choose not to believe your opinion. Considering you’re attempting to use this as justification to stay on grid when a cata comes in. You and Drac love setting up the poor newbros who read this forum.

“Mining in a cata, coming to get their daily SP” ROFL.

Poor newbro believes this and then just chills in the belt as the cata burns toward them thinking, “Huh. that guy is moving awfully fast! He must want to get to those asteroids quick! Huh. Why does he have a yellow flashy square in my overview now? Huh? Attempting to warp scramble me? Oh geewilkurs my shields are gone? Oh my, I’ve blown up! Oh wow, I’m in the station? I thought they were just coming to mine in a ship that can field 8 guns but has a tiny cargo hold?”

If you truly are a newbie, then you’d know nothing about the geddon mining of the past. Now that ships got dedicated ore holds, it would make 0 sense for a newbro to mine in a cata vs a venture. If you’re gonna lie, at least make it believable.

Someone mining in a Catalyst…taken just 20 minutes ago…I cropped it and removed the person’s name for privacy reasons…

So…Gix Almighty…am I still a liar ?

Lol. I can safely say I’m amused
