If they ever turn highsec into Telletubbie Carebearland, it will simply lead to lowsec becoming even more dangerous and complaints that lowsec is too difficult for noobs. We’ll have the whole sorry saga all over again…until one day Eve will end up replacing Scrabble at old people’s homes. Though even then, I can imagine headlines of ‘Old person dies from the mental effort of undocking…Eve is grossly unfair’ from the carebears.

Lowsec should be a safe space for new players to practice flying titans and supercarriers. CONCORD would be an ideal safety net for lowsec adventurers. To prevent griefers from driving them away, Tama, Amamake, and adjacent systems should be rookie systems, with special protections for players under 3 years of age.
Oh I dont think youd like that game.
I mean dont get me wrong, its a fantastic reworking of 1984s Elite and its two successors.
But it aint no mmo
I’ve played it. It’s where I met my EvE mentor and she brought me back to EvE.
Why?
Because of the lack of anything remotely dangerous in Elite Dangerous. It’s nothing more than a giant carebear grind-fest with nice graphics. And that’s the point.
EvEs graphics and interface is grossly out-dated. The only thing it has going for it is that it still has a resemblance of danger to it. Once that is gone, why bother with it anymore?
Have you tried landing an overladen Anaconda on a 9g world with twitchy thrusters and a crack on your canopy though?
But yeah, I figured it would bore you on the whole.
Every game should be played on Ironman mode though.
Like it was before the dark times.

Speaking of Ironman mode. I would like an alternative EVE Online server where skilling would be say 10x faster but losing a pod you are in right now (not self-destruct in station) would be game over.

They should also do a crossover between PI and Crusader Kings.
I haven’t done that, but when Horizon’s first dropped, I slammed my AspX into a high g planet surface. Instant death.
That’s like, the only dangerous thing that resulted in my death. Which is sad, because the game isn’t very dangerous overall, and the complete seperation of players interacting with each other makes it worse.
Ever tried to get paid for doing BGS merc work? Where the other pilot jettisons LTD’s and you have to limpet them up?
Sucks. That’s when I realized Frontier never really wanted any kind of live player interactions.
Live player interactions inevitably result in some crybaby whining about “griefers”.

And that is the exact same argument Frontier posted on their forums when they were flat out asked, why is there such a lack of player interaction.
In fact they went as far to say, they want ED as far removed from EvE as possible, stating how toxic player interactions are.
So, why did they even bother adding a multiplayer server? Everyone should just be on solo.
So the only way to mess with people is to screw around with their BGS, which always results in a lot crying on the forums. But because no one can actually be traced to what BGS actions they take, it’s virtually impossible to be routed and a great way to troll…. Except like everything in ED its a shitshow grind fest, and you have to devote days of gameplay into it just to make a dent.
Why? What would be the point? People would just have hundreds of disposable alts.
Oh I thought the post was about why you quit ganking which is absurd, like a predatorial carnivore becoming a mission running vegetarian.
So it was a bot I was talking to all this time,
I wonder when real AI come of age if they will be illegal to.
But think what Monsters we will create to play for us🤔
Btw we are planning content for the coming weeks are you still up for a visit by us to your low sec area, if so mail me your best eve time and day of the week and we will pop by
It happened about the time you developed self consciousness.

Us?
How about just you. Tech 1 frig, fitted with tech 2 mods for a 1 v 1 solo pvp fight. No blobbing.
And as a R1FTA pilot it is against our rules to blob other people. So you’ll get a guaranteed one on one from me.
I’ve been hanging about in Iralaja. If not there then Hevrice or Laslanier.

Was that a picture I missed
Rookies aren’t meant to go into Low Sec. If you go into Low Sec as a Rookie, expect to lose every ship you fly. Hunting in Low Sec is about the chase, setting up book marks away from planets and belts, sitting cloaked, 250km off a gate while watching the rookie orbit the gate like champ, decloaking and hoping that the other ship takes the bait, probes you down at a bookmark only to find out that the Mobile Depot that has 1 billion in modules in it can’t be raided for 48 hours, thus a larger fleet arrives and then two fleets, both knocking each other around until all are gone or have left the field.
,then decloak and raid the field.
That’s why Rookies don’t into Low Sec.
Maybe not on one’s own. But being a rookie should involve going along with a fleet into lowsec. It should be an essential part of the post-NPE experience.
The last newbro I found in EVE in his first week I took him to Tama and teached him ninja looting and dscanning… he only liked low sec and he didn’t like running missions on high sec.
Low sec is fine and there’s low seccers willing to help and take in newbros.
