FUCKING PODDED
FOR NO FUCKING REASON
i hate it when like, 5 people team up againts a lone cruiser thats mish running
FUCKING MOTHERFUCKING FUCKING FUCK.
My 7mil ship, with like, an addition 1-2 mil worth of shit on it rocking it out got WASTED.
I've had it for awhile, so I',m not worried, but MOTHERFUCKING FUCK.
I WANT TO FUCKING KILL SOMETHING.
-
I dont have the slightest idea
-
I don't know what getting "podded" is. I assume by your being upset that it's basically being attacked and messed up.
-
Podded is the eve equalivent of a rogue hitting you with nukes, then having his friend ZI you when you try to rebuild. It's a giant fucking pain and can take awhile to recover from if your not prepared.
You lose almots everything, and have to spend time and energy rebuilding.
in my case, I've been recently runnign a LOT of missions and getting good salvage, so I had a good bank to rebuild, but I still have to travel about 22 systems to get back to where I was, then i have to buy another ship. Worst part, is that I had special "named" missle launchers that have a very low drop rate and go for a HUGE amount of money.
The only good part is that the insurance payout was more then the cost of the ship (without add-ons), so I shouldn't go too deep in the hole while i rebuild.
-
So wait, people can just attack you wherever and whenever they feel like it?
-
yes/no
Theres about 5 or 6 hundred systems in the game.
Each system has a security rating. Newbie systems are usually rated 1.0 (highest level of security). If you attack someone who you don't have kill rights on in .5-1.0 security, you get anally raped by NPC Concord (basically anti-PK guards) (with a longer response time depending on how low the security level is
.1-.4 has NPC guards which guard the NPC facilities (not concord, they only guard the stations and jumpgates) Also, they will occasionally help you if your attacked near a station and have a high standing with the station your nearby, the faction, and the NPC corp.
0.0 is basically privatly-owner sectors. as long as a player or corp has 4 "towers" (basically, small stations that have guns or utilities on them) in a system, they own the system.
I was in .4 security, and they used long-range scanning to detect me a really far distance away and then warp to me and blast me apart.
Anyway, back to sectors:
having towers (or what we call POS for privatly owned stations) in sectors is dangerous. They aren't "easily" destroied, but it happens fairly often by people with lots of firepower. It can take a few hours, but it happens eventually.
What a lot of the corps do (eve version of alliance), is put a bunch of POS's in a low-security sector and take control. Sometimes, they will control a lot of sectors (like goonfleet), and rent out empty space toa lliances.
Now, It's not like you just toss a station and let it go. You need fuel, minerals, and to be able to defend it when it's attacked. this takes a LOT of logistic planning. There are some corps that require members to donate a specific amount of fuel or minerals a month/week to make sure their stuff is operational. It's actually super-complicated running sectors.
Anyway, to conclude:
There are a few types of sectors:
High sec: .5-1.0
Low sec: .1-.4
and no sec: 0.0 (this has NO NPC guards at all)
I was in .4 sec (kinda risky, but the mish has like 200k in payout)

Oh Pterrydactylhis, your noobiness in this game is lol.
RULE #1: NEVER go anywhere lowsec or nullsec with something you can't easily afford to lose. This is the most important rule in EVE.
RULE #2: NEVER take anything not prepared for PVP to lowsec or nullsec.
RULE #3: NEVER do missions in anything but .5+ security status space, regardless of payout.
RULE #4: ALWAYS insure your ship.
RULE #5: ALWAYS align to a planet whenever you're not alone (or with only friendlies) in a low/null sec system, if you have to risk getting hotdropped like that again. No way they can lock you before you hit warp.
COnsidering you broke almost all of the basic rules of EVE, and for some reason your amazing computer got you PODDED (which is lol, you shoulda been able to warp out before they locked), you deserved it.

Fixed. I made two posts.
-
im Sha'Sheer contact me so i can laugh at you....
Dont whine, I got my Bestower ganked in hi-sec when i was 10 days old
-
double post to double flame
-
What bothered me, was that i was salvaging and had 2 mc's and a tritanium bar.
and i didn't break rule 1 or 4.
-
1 down, 1 to go.
-
Oh
I bought me a nice new cruiser that totally rocks.
I'm also doing a full re-fit. This might turn into a good thing...
-
Your fit is pretty horrible as far as I remember. Standard missile launchers and empty slots on a cruiser is embarassing.
But you use EFT now dont you? THat should help a lot. Smart of you to DL that if I remember correctly.
-
Yea.
I'm currenting using EFT to build a much better cruiser and i've got a calacra instea of an osprey.
That basically means i've going to be firing a shitload of missles constantly.
-
This is silly, just silly
-
caracal's are nice.
-
i know. It's going to be even more nice when the people on the wrong side of my targeting systems are receiving 5 cruise missle hits every 9 seconds for roughly 570 damage total.
-
whats your ingame names??

I'd say the main reason you haven't received any pms in eve is because the picture in your signature is WAY TO FUCKING BIG.
