' Wrote:You see now why miners get upset. They cannot even play this game and enjoy for the fact they are pirated relentlessly into financial oblivion. Then that miner gets on his pirate and starts pirating miners to make up for his own losses.
So you see, the problem is not the mining, it is a bunch of people who, because of the rules they can pirate someone this way, without any thought about the other player and their enjoyment of a GAME.
I have said this before and I will say it again. EVERYTHING on this server has been balanced, nerfed, or just taken away with the EXCEPTION OF PIRACY. Until those who run this server recognizes this as the true problem we will always be talking about this.
Piracy is good. I do not mine being pirated, but I would hate being pirated relentlessly over and over again and not being able to just play this game.
Oh wait. I should just get an escort. That is always the solution.
Sorry to say, but: don't be in a mining field alone. If you are, expect to be easy prey.
Join a mining faction and go for teamplay. Example: IMG had up to 5 escorts today for a multiple field mining session of 2 haulers and 2 Hegemons, 5 enemy vessels were killed in the process, no own losses. It was tense, it was fun and even though the fields were only low drop (already pretty well used) we could do what we wanted.
Pirates are the spice of the game.
Making money would not be fun without the risk of losing it.
I don't know how long you are into this game. Once you have a few VHFs and you are content with your stuff, you can enjoy piracy. I can remember how pissed off I was at the beginning... it changes. And it becomes actually positive.
