I wouldn't be worried in the least, of those 4 players 2 have no combat history at all (though they could be alts for forum posting) 1 has managed to kill 200 ships in 2 years and the other 900 over 4 years, with pretty terrible losses for a pvper.

I suppose my point is the people mouthing off the most are probably highsec carebears who wouldn't dare step into low sec to try and bomb you, and if they did a true pvper will be waiting for an easy kill at the planet, for every pilot who wants to orbital strike us, there will be 10 that want to kill his ship, before he even gets into orbit.

Easy fix. Delay notifications of a boarding party until the first player lands, Once players reach a certain point of the ship, they can hack it and end the self destruct sequence and loot it for extra rewards. Either way, you are out a ship if you SD, and we get paid for it.

I strongly suspect that CCP is well aware of the issues and will ensure that we can't troll each other for a long time. It's in their interest to make all this effort and expense pay off and they control every aspect of the integration.

It's just like bringing home a new baby and having to deal with the jealously of the existing child. The kid may feel neglected and resent any attention given to the new baby, but with time and effort it will welcome its new sibling and enjoy playing with it.

[And as you all know, no gamer feels more entitled than the PC Elitist.

Well except maybe the X-Box fanboy/girl.

Oooooh... that's a close one. Perhaps because the whole Xbox=Microsoft=PC. Could be that a lot of the entitlement was grandfathered down to the Xbox players from the PC.

At some point, I would like for Dust mercs to be able to land on and fight their way into EvE ships to destroy it and the pilots pod. Wanna know why? Here's some text from the EvE forums:



Now then, since the PC and EvE crowd seems so gung-ho on dropping us, I say that we should have an EvE ship hunting mode where we take a squad or two and get to attempt to hunt down EvE pilots who become too big of a nuisance.

Not sure how it we would get to the hull to fight our way in yet, but EvE pilots could be given slots on their ships for automated defense systems (and perhaps some controllable by the EvE player) that would attempt to protect their ships, and we could fight our way in with like a time limit and limited clones.

The ground based weapons they plan to give us that take out only the ships at the planet we are fighting on are NOT ENOUGH! If I am getting trolled by an EvE players, I deserve to be able to troll back goddammit!

lol dust guy dies every match eve guy dies every night.. u do the math, but yea dust players cryharder imo and over way less isk

You're an idiot if you think a single post in a single thread reflects a whole community.

How many EVE players do you think are here?

I like this idea, it's the nature of eve that the weak yield to the strong. Lets have no protection for the dust bunnies. They should be treated the same as any other item in eve. They are expendable and destructible. Welcome to New Eden Dust Bunnies...

The trolling i can see being a problem at first, because of the overwhelming number of snob pc gamers play eve, however, i feel there will be alot of shots we can pull off with orbital cannons that will kitten them off, and once they realize how important mercs can be (ccp is not going to make a whole nother game without it being important) they will have to ADAPT OR DIE (always wanted to say that)

On the boarding parties? HELL YES! also a good thing for small corps to do if they cant always field a full battle squad and sitll help out, by boarding ships during combat
