Default Re: OT: Eve On Line

Being in allinace isn't all abut doing things for the alliance. I do things for my alliance because it allows me and the alliance to continue to operate in 0.0 where there is alot more money to be made and the things I do are few and usually quite fun like fleet combat.

But if you are going to leave the game Artaud could I convince you to give me your stuff, no point in letting it go to waste.

What stops other more experienced long term players from just killing you the moment they see you? Why invest so much into something if it can be taken from you so easily? Figure you run into someone who has been playing steady for three years now. Imagine they are a jerk and just enjoy killing easy prey because they can. That kind of thing isn't fun at all to the victim and from I have seen, this is the way things are in EVE. You have to stay in "safe" zones forever less you be destroyed by a dominating player.
Nothing, really. People can blow you up at any time for any reason. Of course, then your security standings go down, and you can put bounties on them, which means that people will probably want to kill them more. And there are player organizations that, as have been said before, tends to go after those people. If someone's a jerk like that, it's not soon before those organizations know that he's a jerk, and then that person has an entire organization after him with a lot more money.

And I don't really have much sympathy if you put all of your money in a brand new ship, just to have it blown up. What you SHOULD do is keep enough money in the bank for a new ship, and if you do in fact get blown up, play it safe for a while in 'safe' space.

A little bit of cautiousness goes a long way. The only time in Eve that I've gotten killed so far is in low sec space, when I decided to try killing a frigate that warped in. And it turns out he had friends... anyway, as long as you warp away instantly unless you are sure you have a chance of winning, you're fairly safe. Except for warp bubbles, but those are rare...
