Lemme see if I can get this logic correct... I fly a space ship in a space ship shoot em up game, I find another space ship and shoot it up... that makes me a pathetic coward?
No, flying around looking for people you know have no chance of winning fight against you and locking them down and killing (and pod killing) make "you" a pathetic coward. Like I said, the vast majority of these tough guys won't try to "attack and pvp" when it looks like the ship they are going after may have a chance to beat them.
I have a nice little word for kills like that. Darwinism.
There really is very little to be said that hasn't already been said. Eve is a harsh place. The moment you enter lowsec, you've signed a contract that amounts to "I'm prepared to die here".
My corp is a pirate corp, and furthermore we specialise in mission busting - that is, hunting down and killing or ransoming mission runners who stray into our territory. Yeah, it's not a particularly fair fight if there's a lot of us on, but it pays the bills On the other hand, if you know what you're doing, you should be checking the scanner to see if you're being probed. If you aren't, you really earned that gank. We're nice enough folks - hell, we've even given advice on how to better fit ships and what to watch out for to our victims.
But on the flip side, we're a pretty small corp by local standards, so we're often in danger of getting blobbed if we're not careful. "There's always a bigger fish". Do we complain?
Ok, maybe we grouch a little if someone does it repeatedly :P But do we whine and leave? No, we pick our moments and gank the hell out of them when they don't expect it.
In short, you want safety? Stay in high-sec. You want reward? Come to lowsec or nullsec, just be prepared to fork out for new ships regularly. You want fun? Quit whining and fit your ship to melt faces the next time someone jumps you.
Still don't like it? To quote someone else on these forums... -
