I guess it was closer to 200m ISK. There weren’t any NPCs when he got blapped, so it must’ve been cumulative from his earlier thefts. > **[Damavik | Cpt Boomstick | Killmail](https://zkillboard.com/kill/136784957/)** > > Cpt Boomstick (New Eden Corporation 98034252) lost their Damavik in Hageken (Lonetrek).

I’m going to suggest the mining barge like the Skiff needs its own maintenance bay so it may add new drones into the drone bay as well as the ability to leap 100km forward to escape from pirates 🤪 ---

> [@Glenduil](#): > > I’m not far from retiring. To be honest…I could have predicted that ( in fact I think I did ) months ago. There’s only so much ore you can mine, and so many gazillions of EHP you can make your ‘unsinkable’ ship, before it all just gets boring. I think PvP is the _only_ thing that gives EVE any lasting sense of purpose. Who’d have thunk the whole purpose of a MMO game was to compete with other people ! ---

Glen, you should really commit to PvP and do that for awhile, instead of quitting. However, if you insist, then make sure to send me all your assets so I can PvP. ---

I’ve sat on a few wormhole gates with a corp hoping to get some kills. I’ve gone into LS and hunted around for people with a few groups. I’ve flown around with you hunting down MTUs and Hulks. I’ve joined 3 groups in Null Sec. I’ve even mined while ganking was going on around me. I’ve dodged several gate camps in LS and NS. I’ve flown ships with lots of cargo with 2 bil in implants installed through Uedama (I got targetted once and the pilot got one shot off before my warp drive kicked in). I’ve run a few missions in LS. I never had much luck in PvP, but I’ve gone looking for it. The thought of sacrificing ships for no gain gets old as ships are expensive, but I did make the attempts. I’ve been all over Eve Online. I didn’t just mine. It’s just what I did the most. The ships I lost due to careless mistakes and just plain ignorance of mechanics were costly enough for me. Don’t lose what you can’t afford you know. And sorry, my stuff stays with my dead inactive toons. I started this game alone, I got where I was alone, and my account will die alone. ---

Nothing is wrong about star citizen…it’s just your poverty that comes in your way and your washed brain that always tells you that this game is the devil… Obviously this game works fine as it is and only people that simply cannot afford it or accept that gaming has changed since 2000 oppose this thought… The time of one time paid games that give you everything else for free is simply over… [Previous page](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/what-would-you-do-if-you-couldn-t-gank/513244.md?page=23) [Next page](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/what-would-you-do-if-you-couldn-t-gank/513244.md?page=25)
