Thank you for checking my kill history, Aisha. I’m fully aware of my losses, and I stand by each one.
I never once complained about losing Golems to gankers, PvP, or player-based threats. In fact, I moved far away from Jita routes to a dead-end pocket of Highsec specifically to enjoy peaceful Level 4 missions — not because I can’t handle danger, but because I value predictable, manageable PvE risk.
The issue isn’t that I “lost a ship.” It’s that I lost a 3B ISK Marauder in a 0.7 Highsec system to capital-level NPCs (Drifters) within seconds of undocking — despite being in Bastion mode, fully tanked, and not even engaging.
This wasn’t a mistake. It was a forced, unavoidable PvE death triggered by a background mechanic most players don’t even understand, with no tools in Highsec to counter or recover from it. If this were Nullsec or Wormhole space, I’d accept it. But what options are available to a Highsec PvE player to defend against 47,000+ alpha strikes from invisible NPC fleets?
So yes, I lose Golems. And I fund each one myself through mining, mission running, and LP trade. I just didn’t expect to need a Dreadnought to safely undock in Highsec.
Thanks for your concern. I’ll be sure to lose the next one even better.
