Essex love

[Daedric]

Having done the math, there is a ~25k radius around the Essex in which the pirate doesnt have enough time to kill a cap8 miner.
Once you rachet the accuracy and factor in the shield absorbtion, it becomes more like ~30-40K.
The mining fields in Dublin are well within that range.

Bring more firepower then. He was resourceful enough to spend cash on the best armor around, perhaps you should be as resourceful? Or you could not bother with him, since you know you can't kill him.

Though if you do that the idiot usually helps the miner you do attack.

I don't blame miners for running to it, it is the most logical in role play thing for them to do. I think pirates should be allowed to break off if their target manages to get to the base and just sits there, without being considered PvP defeated and having to leave the system.

Gives the pirate a chance to re group and pick a better method of attack. Having the miner counted as PvP defeated removes a potential target from the system. Not something a greedy pirate wants.
