- Note that while insurgency content is currently the only way to raise or lower suppression, it’s possible for any system in the game to have a corruption or suppression value, and many of the effects apply outside insurgencies.

- High security systems which are affected by an Insurgency will not spawn empire FW police and criminal police NPCs, so pirates and players with low security status can freely enter as they wish!

When Uedama goes down, there will be a lot of PvPer’s camping the gates. Ganking in Uedama is slowly being consumed by pirate insurgencies.

> Because some players like the aspect of mining.

Nobody’s being asked not to like mining. What they are being asked is that they accept that _all_ undocked activity in Eve comes with a risk. As I already pointed out elsewhere…well over 50% of all Ventures ( for example ) are destroyed by NPC rats. So its not like there aren’t already ships taking pot shots at miners. When a new player moves up from a Venture to a larger ship…why should they not equally accept the increased risk that comes from being a juicier target ?

> [@DrysonBennington](#):
>
> mining is the easiest way to earn ISK in New Eden

Well, yes…and in fact a Gaussian mining laser fitted Venture can make its own cost ( 300K or so ) in one trip, plus anyone can get a new Venture by re-doing missions, so its not like anyone is ever left with zero ISK and no means of restarting. The player then has to decide…do they want to carry on with that low risk/lower income or go for higher risk and higher income. And clearly, the higher income _ought_ to come with higher risk.

> [@DrysonBennington](#):

> Another reason is because the player wants to learn how to develop manufacturing flow charts to then build items from.

Not necessarily. Some may do…we have no actual stats on how many. But equally, many miners want to make ISK in order to pay for PvP/PvE combat ships. So they are quite happy for their mining proceeds to go towards some ships being blapped…and possibly those of other players…which would mean their entire mining operation is a part of PvP and effectively paying for it. It would be good to have stats on what proportion this actually is, as it would affect the entire argument.

> [@DrysonBennington](#):

> If CCP was to take away mining, entirely, the game would collapse completely.

True, but scarcity showed that already there was way too much being mined anyway. And clearly, there is more than enough ore coming in despite ganking. In fact if ganking was seriously affecting the amount of ore available for ships then one of the first groups to be affected would be gankers themselves…who would be sawing off the branch they were sitting on. But there is no indication that is happening…maybe Aiko would like to comment on that.

Seriously, what is the purpose of antigank? All they’re doing is sacrificing their own mining yield to maybe strike _one_ agent. The Code will always win!

Newsflash Green Thorn not every antiganker cares about sacrificing their own mining yield to maybe strike _one_ agent as salt is that positively charged ionic bonding process known as antiganking.

The question Aiko, where will your Gankers go once Uedama falls to the Insurgency?

Unless you are above insta-pwn status, your attempts at capturing pirate sites will result in nothing. You will have to join one of the pirate factions in order to even run the timer on a site, which I doubt you will do.

No, Uedama is set to fall to the Insurgency, and I for one will be glad the day it does.

Another issue that the cubble dugs of Aiko’s are going to have to worry about with the Guristas Incursion is. when the FOB goes up in Uedama, systems around Uedama will be effected to the point of possibly becoming Lawless. Meaning, the Gankers will never be able to gank in the Uedama system and hopefully Himma Linga Ding Dong.

The Gankers are gonna have to work to keep their old famil grounds, because if not, when the Gankers venture close to Uedama they will remember the easy times they had, their systems they believed they controlled.

The graveyard of the past will emptionally haunt the Uedama Ganker.

Now be quiet and maybe I will help save Uedama.
