What instruction manual? This is straight out of the game. Open the map, activate “Geography” by clicking on the star and then you have a floating menu on the right. If you don’t see it, just move your mouse there to the right to the light blue line. You can make it permanent with the arrow on the bottom. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/c/1/b/c1be3c73fb89b1d73fb97ea15b1647c1fb9fccbb.jpeg) ---

Accept it We don’t have to accept we are ‘no one’. We’re players of this game. Most of us are capable of communicating, capable of forming our own intelligent thoughts and capable of both reading inside the game that according the devs in high security space "_strikes may come from those who accept CONCORD’s deadly retribution"_ and understanding what that message means. ---

You are no doubt somebody somewhere 🙂 But unless you are a Dev you are nobody when it comes to saying what is and isn’t intentionally part of the game . I’m sure that somebody you are elsewhere is fabulous though ---

Does that text say “Suicide ganking is a legitimate part of Eve” ? It doesn’t . Until a Dev says those words it’s all speculation. ---

Game mechanics . And like all Game mechanics there are unintentional oversights, exploits and loopholes. Until a Dev says specifically that Suicide ganking is an intended part of the game it bit is and isn’t . What a bunch of nobodies says on a forum is purely speculative at best. In order to be fact it must be clarified by someone with the authority to do so. ---

And why if it is an exploit or oversight did the devs write "_strikes may come from those who accept CONCORD’s deadly retribution"_ about high sec space while they intentionally made that same playstyle impossible in the new Exordium region? Surely this means they are both aware of the playstyle existing, and capable of stopping it. More importantly, it was a recent change to stop it in Exordium and to clarify that it exists in HS space, so they must have intentionally left that playstyle of suicide ganking in high sec. Or how do you interpret these actions by the devs?
