Originally by: Ulverious Edited by: Ulverious on 22/09/2004 04:42:37 Edited by: Ulverious on 22/09/2004 04:42:15 Well IÆm the non action oriented kind of player and really enjoyed the quiet pace of the game. I stayed in high security space making enough money for a complete set of +3 implants.
Some guy weÆve never heard about declare with his one-man corp and pod kills me in high sec space for no reason. I was thinking about filing a ôgriferö partition but since corp wars are legal I assume he didnÆt violated the rules. In any case, just a game right
It was fun the first time It will frankly seem to much like work the second since a new set of +3 implants means something like 50+ hours mining.
Ag... you buy implants?... I get them from agents and sell them... If I need an implant and if an agent doesn't give me the right implant then I use the money from the sale to buy the right one.
Trust me, you can get implants from a good agent in far less time than 50+ hours mining.

Originally by: Ulverious Edited by: Ulverious on 22/09/2004 17:22:53 No intention to flame the game. IÆd have no problem recommending it to others. I rather enjoyed it although corp. wars does seem a potential serious exploit as my experience showed.
Hardly. If someone targetted and started shooting at me and I forgot to activate an armour repairer and got killed would that make targetting a serious exploit? As people have mentioned there are ways to avoid getting slammed by a spurious war and if you don't take any action then bad things are likely to happen. If alts weren't anonymous you'd get a lot less of this happening - but it would still go on and there's nothing wrong with that. It's the fact there's probably no way to get revenge that's the big problem (and hence no deterrent).
One of the things I like about EVE is that it's not a continuous upward curve. All sorts of nasty things have happened to me, from when I accidently (or a bug) gave away 40M (this was when 40M was a *lot* of money) to losing full sets if implants on several occasions to forgetting to insure battleships (twice, oops) or even when I bought a load of morphite at silly prices (my 'investment' is still sitting in my hangar now). Has any of that ever really affected what I get out of the game? No - EVE is one of the few games out there where you can get trashed, go on holiday, etc and not come back gimped. You might feel gimped for a bit, but you aren't.

To be honest I'd rather deal with setbacks in Eve than having to put up with all the griefers you usually meet on servers in other games like Unreal Tournament or Quake. I find it much better to have a (war) system where you can predict how people might try to grief you, rather than dealing with all the teamkilling, aimbotting and general bs you get in other games.
Every single tactic in this game you might conceive as lame is more or less well known. Actually, I'd say 80% of them are known by a large part of the community. You don't have that luxury in other games because you won't be able to tell whether that guy who's pwning you like there was no tomorrow is using an aimbot or not... unless whatever anticheat-tool is running on the server happens to detect the bot.
Now while it sucks to see how you lost your implants you should be aware that, as much as they decrease your training time, they're not mandatory to have fun in the game but from reading your story I think you already know that by now.

Originally by: Hunting Master He probably killed you for no reason.
But if you have made it to an set of basic implants you should have known the rules of eve, if you won't risk anything stay in +0.5 regions. Everywhere else you are in danger to lose everything.....
It looks to me you can't loose....
My point is precisely didnÆt want to risk anything since I knew very well I couldnÆt afford the cost of recovery from a podding. By staying in .6+ security space I genuinely thought I was playing it safe.

Well I must confess that 0.0 space does get the blood pumping in a way that just didnÆt happen while playing it safe
On the other hand I my spaceships tends to dissipate in a rapid expanding plumes of plasma around me rather often. From NPC encounters because IÆm screwing up more then anything else. Actually IÆve found the dreaded inhabitants of PF-346 to be surprisingly good company.
From the gracious lady in charge of the Merchant Marines/NOARD picket who first gruffly informs me that she canÆt guarantee may safety and reminds me that ôWe are NOARD û not your bloody bodyguardsö û only to rush in and save my ass as well as the assess of countless other newbie civilians again and again from our fumbling around, to the gentleman buccaneer who was genuinely distressed when he found out his victim was unarmed and insisted on escorting her lifpod safely out of the system.
I love the pirate who was outraged when his corpmate made a despairing remark about the appearance of a girl in local chat. As a newly arrived spectator I was somewhat surprised by his attitude and pointed out they were both trying to kill her at the time. The reply I got was the ôThat is no excuse to be rude to a ladyö
I seem to have been adopted as something of a mascot. Allthough I have to put up with the occasional snide remark along the lines of being a baby even the pirates have so far adobted a remarkable tolerant attitude to me.
A pleasant surprise.

Edited by: Rachel Darkstar on 24/09/2004 00:59:30 I understand the grief. It's verry irritating to be blasted out of space for no reason whatsoever, by a murdering psychopath. And then the pod killing that's typical a thing an ashole does. sorry but there's just no other word for that type of person. I always reminds me of that scene in "The battle of britain" where the lufwaffe pilot shoots the English pilot who bailed out and is hanging defenceles on his parachute.
And since the world of eve is filled with them why do we have pods at all?
CAN I HAVE MY SHIP WITHOUT POD PLEASE? SPARE ME THE INSULT AND KILL ME WITH MY SHIP! And let me rest in peace forever.
Not that I'm planning to get killed ever again. But just in case.
I'm not against PvP far from it, but please do it with style. Pick on people your own size.
Honnor and heroics does it exist in EVE? I wonder.

Your story about adventures in Syndicate is quite interesting to read and fun! Now you see - it's a lot of fun to do something crazy and wild in the game, be it kamikaze freight service or mining alone in a hauler in 0.0. And the most unbelievably stupid and 0.001% chance of working scenarios have a habit of turning out to be a fun expierience often. Maybe now you understand all those people in armed ships going to look for adventures. They are like you, only they go one step further and actually do something if they get bored or somebody ruins their previous way of playing

Surely we can club together and buy this guy some new implants?
I mean, if we can raise a billion for m0o members, 100 million wont be much of a challenge

Edited by: Ulverious on 25/09/2004 16:51:35 Well I’m staying after all – having so much fun in 0.0 space were that lack of implants seems an advantage more then anything else.
The deciding episode was this: I was hiding with a gang member from pirates in a belt. Eventually she got tired of waiting and asked the pirates to leave her alone for half an hour since she had to go help her childern make their Magic – the gathering deck. The reaction from the pirats was something like this:
“You are helping your kids make their magic deck? – I want you to be my mommy!!!”
Needlss to say no one touched her after that.
I guess what I’m trying to say is that I’m having a lot of fun and as for me getting blown up is not much of a dettering anymore. In fact the only place were I have a shadow of a chance to recoupitade my losses is 0.0 space and, yes, the income is better, even when deducting the cost of replacing ships.
Anyway, the only time I’ve ever gotten podded is by that murding basterd in .9 space so who is to say it is more risky anywhy
