I don’t think ot make better or worse but if someone sitting on gate it means he ganking people and how you know he is there is you send an scout alt. Either go through another gate or wait until he is gone and play another character.
If they wanted to be changed they would done it long time ago. Change the way you play instead of want everybody else change their play.
then why not just remove high sec completely. make the entire game full null sec PVP rules.
Because that will immediately kill the game. All Pvp all the time cannot be sustained. people need a safe zone to get started
why ? does not make sense ….
they have ! called starting zone and there are about 12 starting zones … but as you leave youre free and then you have to lern or you just die !
and HS is not your personal safe zone … its just one space for a different gamestyle like low / null / WH or pochven space … non of them has safe zones and all of them have different mechanics and different play styles !
This is a misconception.
People outside HS do not only do PvP. They also mine, gather, build, trade.
An EVE without safe zone would easily have a sustainable economy.
The only thing EVE could possibly be lacking without HS is an environment in which new players without player organization can learn the basics of the game in relative safety until the value of their ships is high enough to draw attention of PvP players. This is what HS is for: a dangerous PvP environment like all others, but with CONCORD to deter most of the low-value kills. You still get killed in more expensive ships though, just like in any other environment if you do not take the right precautions.
This is the solution.
Just like about the mechanics to defend, you have no real clue about what is all mechanically involved in ganking. Like the gankers don’t magically respawn in their ships, you know? Also for profit you need to scout ships. You have to acquire, transport and sell off loot. You have to acquire and provide new ships.
“Press F1” is only a fraction of the work involved.
You really need to try to get deeper insights into EVE mechanics and not stay on the surface and reduce everything just to the obvious visible.
Um, just looking at his kills, he is one-shotting targets with pathetically low tank. Often greedy people with expanded cargo holds that weaken ship structure. So there’s your solution. Don’t blame the gankers…blame the people who don’t know how to fit their ships.
The counter play to an arty tornado is called “transversal velocity” - hope this helps.
It’s also trivially defeated by instadock/undock bookmarks. I could fly an untanked T1 hauler past this guy all day without getting got.
Quit. This clearly isn’t the game for you, and we can all do without your bleating and crying on the forums about people playing the game as intended.
CCP has repeatedly and continuously nerfed ganking, but it’s never enough for you.
OKAY here is how counter gankers. You can find this outline in any number of other posts here on the forums, reddit, and on youtube. Nothing in this is earth shaking or unique.
First plan your route. What systems do you intend to go through? Second there is plenty of third party tools that one can use. Dotlan and zkill are the most popular. Third See when was the last time a ships was destroyed. I generally go back at least 3 hours to gain an insight when the gankers are most active. Fourth If you are hauling cargo. Especially if it is a large multi billion isk cargo. Either have someone be a scout or use an alt.
Now this is not going to prevent you from being ganked. It will reduce the chances of being ganked. Ganking is part of the ecosystem and is not going to go away any time soon.
They know all this. The only effort they’re not allergic to is the constant demands for CCP to remove all risk from the game for them.
If only someone had written a guide…
It seems a lot of people are allergic to doing the common sense things. Such as not flying either you are not ready for or being too expensive to lose. Ignoring the overview and dscan for reasons. Thinking an ill fitted ship should survive against all reason and logic. Not be shot at because it’s not fair. And the list goes on and on with several variations on many of the themes.
Playing a game that even the advertisements make plain is not your typical space ship game. With a 20+ year reputation of being brutal and unforgiving. That surviving in New Eden means constantly stepping up and being OK with losing ships. Taking each loss, not as a personal insult or being butt hurt, but as a chance to learn.
Yet here we all are again with yet another player crying in his pod. Over something that should being taken as a chance to learn and work on reducing the chances again.
I am only year and half in this game. Barely scratching the surface and seem to have better sense than this OP. Who has been here for the last 2 years and 2 months?!Edit: I read it wrong he has been playing since 2009. Seriously? SMH.. Allergic does not seem to cover it.
I get tired of seeing these posts. In the old days, no one would care and just say get gud. Now days, all I can say is make an effort.
Try harder. Whine less.
Using programs to control multiple accounts using a single click is occurring in high sec ganking. What is also an issue is the absence of consequence for doing so.
The miners are also botting.
Input broadcasting is a separate issue…
I don’t see where you attempted to use a webber. Couldnt have used a scout either sine you would ghave seen the massive gank fleet in local. Juding by this you made NO attempt to protect your freighter.
Is this accurate?
I’ve been playing EVE for 20 years, and I’ve been ganked twice. Two times in 20 years. So no, it’s not an epidemic. There are plenty of countermeasures, you people just refuse to use them. High sec is not, never has been, and never will be a safe space….
