I’ll do that as soon as I get back home from work. I haven’t played for week now. I will outline a few points that should be reasonable for both parties. ---

Not mine, as I have never killed any one in high security space for loot or as part of the group (more than one pilot), exceptions - war dec. But those words (in the previous sentence) means nothing for you as you likely do not know them, I have to speak your language: PvE, warp, warp, warp, autopilot, gank, Jita, oh no, was ganked, unfair, buy, warp, warp, warp, pve, pve, pve, pve, warp, warp, warp, autopilot, pve, autopilot, gank, oh not again, forum. ---

SS can be repaired by PvE or tags in lowsec on CONCORD station. But price to go from -10 to -5 is low but from -5 to -2 is high (no sense to go above -1.99) was it around 70M+ (gankers can fix me, I have never used this service). PvE in 0.5 space can wash your SS by approx 0.22 per hour. In nullsec it is even better, but I’m now mainly below -5 and not doing PvE on those accounts…. So doesn’t care about SS. Also on one account SS was gone from -2 to -6 just after 2 hour long roaming in lowsec… so it is punished well for killing things in lowsec… in highsec I would be ganked by CONCORD and stopped… also SS will be -10 for the same amount of aggression (but as I told, don’t care about SS for now) ---

Sometimes perspectives change. I could easily pull a few things out of my hat that have changed over the years. From experience, I know that the younger generation finds EVE Online too old-fashioned and outdated. The game takes too long, and they don’t like being attacked by multiple players. ---

I’m not going to go to the trouble of convincing you, but let me just say that I’ve been playing this game for 20 years too. I’ve tried playing it with my son and he with his friends, and you could read what they think of the game above. ---

The more important question is: Why wasn’t the 900M pod protected by a pretty much ungankable 40M Assaultfrig? -\_- > [@ImRustY](#): > > RL was calling. In that case you were either too lazy/dumb to just go docking and then keep on playing when you had time again. Or you were at the end of a very unfortunate chain of events that lead to a ganker crew attack you _right in that minute_ where you were “called by RL”. In which case it would simply be “bad luck” and in no way an argument that ganking needs to be adressed as a “problem”. ---
