it's just a trial and though I never expected this , lets see what happens.
remember its all pixels baby :cool:
indeed.
and if my trader gets all blowed up, i log into my other trader on the far side of the sand box.
trading alone means that you barely stand a chance against anything; you just take longer to die to a fighter than a cruiser.
all this change has down has upped the ante for the escorts. they need to fly 30-40 km ahead, and report in every ship. the trader needs to be on the chatlist, looking up levels/groups and ideally, trader and escort should stay away from the lanes.
however the 4hr rule should be modified: docking does not count as a pvp death for transport vessels.
in other words, if you die, 4hours absence. if you dock,well done you.
