Learn to cut cruisers in half using an assault frigate and kill everything in every belt. Don't fall into pirate traps.

No matter how amazing a pirate, there's some lifeless clone of that poor bastard out there somewhere rotting away. I have a lover, her name is EVE. I see her every night and all she asks in return is that I have a pilot's license. |

Piracy these days is in a sad state. I'm trying to give it another go in Hashashin cartel but that's null sec mostly. A number of game changes have made this the case. Cloaky haulers, JF's and everyone and their mother having a massive jump bridge network has virtually eliminated catchable hauler traffic. Additionally, a series of buffs to high sec income without attention to low/null has gutted the low/null sec ratters/missioners. And of course, overpowered combat probing isn't helping with that situation. You don't even get that many careless players either, all the warning messages about jumping into low/null sec have, as far as I can tell, completely eliminated the afk AP traffic.
And finally the players themselves have changed. There is much more focus on min/maxing today than there was a couple years ago. Players are far more risk averse too, even the pirates. We all knew about those cheap orca/carrier tricks years ago, we simply didn't use them. Though I hate that development in tactics, it's easy to understand why it's been done. There was a period when everyone was hotdrop happy with their SC's, even dropping on solo t1 cruisers. The only counter to that type of stunt was precisely what I and many others complain about today. The hotdrops have mostly stopped, but the tactics to dodge them remain since they are great for evading attack entirely, not just from hotdrop attacks. Those cheap tactics in turn further discourage people from traveling into low sec. It's a vicious cycle.
For me, low sec piracy today is popping cyno alts and jacking their cyno's. It's pathetic, but that's what we've been left with. Hence my recent shift to null. I'm hoping I can grab at least a few worth while things with my new sabre, but so far it's been slim pickings there too. The Troll is trolling. |

Shadow Cartel is going quite strong, and is recruiting experienced US TZ players and corps..
beyond that, Verone's rundown of all groups (including ourselves) is pretty accurate.
EDIT: also, plenty of targets in lowsec.. don't listen to the naysayers.. there's an abundance of people to fight and noobs to kill in the region of space we live in anyways,, quiet enough to move around, but active neough that you don't have to go too far to find a fight.. oh and we don't gatecamp/smartbomb.. (well, rarely, anyways.. sometimes just for lols) |

This is the premise I'm operating under at the moment. Wouldn't imagine there are any free-rides. |

Im not sure but i know there was some talk of a gate gun mechanic change in the mix for EVE, did it get implemented ???
If not and for those of you who have no clue about the change, well here it is in a nut shell.
The gate guns would have progression damage, meaning the first shot would not kill a frig and the 100th shot on gate would pop a carrier. These are obvious estamations but the damage would increase per shot.
How would this impact the low sec community, mainly pirates doing gate camps???
YAaAaAaaAAaArRrRrrrrrR
As mentionned im not even sure if this will be implemented or not..... |

Was quite a threadnought about it, the basic impression was that it wouldnt solve any of the gatecamp issues while at the same time murdering any chance of having a fight on a gate that lasted longer than a few minutes.
as for the crimewatch changes we still havent heard anything more about those. |

Static camps (station or gate)--> Harder to impossible
Longer Gate fights would die (escalations)
pounce camps-->no influence
popping cynos with noob ships at station--> yipiehh (as they want to make the first few shots of the guns tankable for frigs)
CSM Hans assured us that CCP Greyscale does not think of implement it "yet" but in the opinion of many that only means they postpone it a bit until things calm down and then could suddenly implement it... We will see... |

Last pirate corp I was in was Blood Money Inc, it was great and there was loads of other pirate corps around as well.
Those however dont exist anymore or/have taken up dishonor ganks and orca gate camping.
Real piracy died the day ISK became worthless. Everytime you dont like my comments/posts the terrorists win and your a disgrace to your country. |

If they decide to implement the gate gun dmg progression i think it would be a shame......
In all honesty they need to increase the value of low sec systems to attrack more high seccers to that area. For those not wanting to go to 0.0 to pvp without the sec hits.
For the high sec guys the isk vs security is simply not worth them heading to low sec.
But anyhow in my 6 years of EvE and 4+ years of pirating i have to say piracy is the part of EvE i love best, the only part i disliked is the seccing up part when you decide you want to fly a ship in high sec again :p.

To Verone, when you decide to become active again hit me up, i would love to fly with a pilot of the glory days of pirating :)

To be fair Jump Freightors have ruined eve. Statinos in every nullsec system, no need to ever run lo-sec camps in vulnerable ships... They are the reason 0.0 is so ******** right now... it's too easy to play when you can cyno-chain that ammount of stuff up quickly. |

I had some TL:DR comments on this post and then EVE-O ate it. Hence I'm going to order some pizza, maybe shoot myself in the face, and then think about retyping. |

I've never considered corporations who just sit and gate camp and/or smartbomb all day as pirate, in all fairness. It's just laziness and fear of having to actually do some work, as cost effective as it might be.
