Why do you care so much about how other people call your play style?

I like null sec gameplay and know how some people think about null sec players. Who cares.

I think every in-game playstyle (besides cheating) is valid and if players want to play a certain way, all the power to them. PvE only? Sure! PvP only? Have fun! Live in wormholes? You do you! Never undock and make money trading? Have fun! Scam people in local chat? Give it a try and I might try to kill your ship for it, but I’m happy that you too play the game. Mine in high sec? No problem! Throw insults? Now you’ve lost me.

It is as you say, we’re mostly all adults. So behave like one. Why is half your post containing insults, curses and censored words?

Maybe listen to your own advice. 😉

> Miners should thank their ganker

Yes the last ganker who tried last week actually did try and make the best attempt.

Note I had invited them to my fleet to help them with their warp . I had shared my fitted barge.

I had even mentioned that that don’t n ed a warp scram as I was not leaving the asteroid belt.

I had even truely tried to roleplay with them and when they attacked I knew I was about to tank the gank as I first noticed that the concord clock started as they were still outside optimum blaster range and I knew the asteroid would protect me against the approaching ganker.

I had yanked them in local and mentioned how I felt giddy.

The fleet chat unfortunately was not recorded though the last few had read from this potential friend was Are you Okay?

I think my wordsalad effected the gankers performance as as I was trying to offer them that I could self destruct.

I’m going to guess that those asteroid fumes have zero effect on most miners.

/ those asteroid fumes are just a myth we tell gankers to help keep them away from our belts.

So you’ve defeated gankers with asteroids? 🤔

The `Frostpacker entity`’s superpower is its weaponized `wordsalad`? 🤔

It must be true because the fumes themselves confessed it is just a myth? 🤔

So. Know about asteroids now have huge hit boxes and know how to slip into a belt that kind of sucks for gankers.

/

When you find a extra large veldpar asteroid you never mine that one but park as close to it as you can that if when a ganker decides to try to grief you n your day off while relaxing out on a bel.

You get to kick sand in their face any they try to pew pew in anger yet they don’t know about the approach angles before trying to pew pew the miner.

Well frosty had siphoned that space hussy for everything she would offer!

She needs to shut up about the important stuff that miners can actually stop a gank by hiding snide the asteroid belt.
