These threads about mining vs ganking always degenerate into endlessly circular and comically shrill arguments that nobody “wins.” Because I have no time or energy for drama, I just avoid the whole issue. When one of my corp mates says there are baddies in a nearby system, I just log off and go read a book, or wash dishes, or take a nap. Problem solved. As I have said before, New Eden is a sandbox that has room for all styles of play. So, for those who want to wait around all day for easy targets–whatever turns you on.
@Cilla_Cybin You are obviously quite clever, you should make a huge amount of isk playing the Hypernet.
Liquidate into ISK everything you have - note it all as you will be rebuying it all soon - and take the isk and buy nodes on big ticket item(s) on the hypernet such as a carrier(s), jump freighter(s), Large Skill Injector(s) or the like.
You’ll win because you had a bunch of the nodes on that hypernode auction.
Take those winnings and do the same thing on several other hypernet auctions.
After the hypernet wins you have just done making yourself a very large profit, re-buy all your stuff you sold to get the huge isk-making process going.
After you have got your stuff back is where being a smart player like you comes in.
Take the portion of isk remaining (it will be quite large by then) and begin buying nodes on medium-to-largish hypernet auctions. A clever player such as yourself should be able to pick the decent ones and make a very nice profit indeed.
Not sure why CCP hasn’t closed this loophole to riches yet, but you might want to get on it before they do.
Don’t forget it was me who let you in on this secret when you get wealthy. ok? If you wanted to slip me some isk after you get rich I wouldn’t say no.
In this case the catalyst is perfectly safe. The only people threatening to do something about it never log into the game. Though if I read his posts right, DC goes as far as the log in screen every day to collect all that sweet, sweet loot.
If someone disconnects or logs out in space without safe logging then their ship will be in space for a time even though they are logged out. If they have a timer it can even be longer. So they won’t show up in local because they are logged out but you can probe them down and kill them because they are in space while the timer ticks down.
Seriously ? You went all the way to Mirilene and looked round all 15 asteroid belts just because you are too proud to admit you were wrong ?
I’m not sure if I am allowed to give the lady’s name here. But I’m not sure it would make any difference anyway to the conspiratorial mindset. Please tell me this isn’t how I’ll end up after 15 years in Eve.
It isn’t pride. Its content You’ve caught my interest and I was bored. Drop the name. Assuming she exists of course.
Of course you haven’t undocked from Vitt for a while either huh? Its almost like you’re an alt…
And considering I was on quite a bit this weekend, its interesting that I never saw you or that you’ve consistently stayed in the same station. No worries tho. I’m sure we’ll run into each other
