You don’t need a ship that can fly 2200 times the speed of light, you just need to fly at your own speed in a safe manner.

Your tendency to come to any form of discourse with your dissenting opinion within the first or second reply is beyond pattern.

Stop calling it high sec—it’s not. 99% of ganking complaints would end if the game showed true risk there, e.g., rename it and change it from green/blue.

If you autopilot a ship, you deserve your fate. You wanted PvP and you got exactly what you asked for.

You can’t take revenge. You’re an Alpha clone. You have to upgrade to Omega to set your safety to Red in order to attack someone.

This is the most beautiful Gallente exploration ship, showing a classic asymmetric Gallente design of pure utility.

The Helios and Imicus are two of my favourite ships, not only for their attributes but for their unique design as well.

While it would be nice if CCP brought their textures up todate, I really wish they keep the distinct Lambda shape intact if they do.

But I fear the shape which sets this ship apart from bland boring symmetric spaceships may be the part you are complaining about.

Yes, you autopiloted an easily destroyed ship carrying millions in one of the busiest and most dangerous places of the glaxy.

You did get what you were asking for.

Now if you don’t want the shuttle to die I suggest you warp straight to gates and stations. Without autopilot.

Autopilot is for when you don’t care if the ship lives or dies.

You clearly cared.

Not true! 😆 I use autopilot to plot my course but fly it manually. Warp to bookmarks that allow me to come in from an odd direction, etc. Works for me anyway.

The Gallente were never the best at ship aesthetics. All their designs look like something you’d find in someone’s vomit if you went poking around in there, for whatever reason. That said, most of us don’t fly the ships for how they look. And you have at least 4 alternatives to choose from. Usually more than that. Astero is a good-looking alternative.

To have a chance at the kill, I’ll need to invest at least 100 mil to have a chance to catch and kill the ganker. Looking at successful crime punishers, that would be more like 400 million in ship + fitting(+ Omega for cloak).

So, it is cheaper to just move on and do better next time.

Art didn’t exist when EVE was created. It is a new concept that was discovered while managers were searching for ways to maximize profits. A shocking research study proved that people like things that look nice, and spend more money on it. Now all the studios are playing catchup with this trend, including CCP. You can see that on all the newer ship models, compared to the old ones. Quite fascinating!

With creative regards
