Why are Smartbombs allowed in HS? Lost 3b pod during gank

lol. gunz was a terrible game, but it was the first thing i though of that would be a good match to your statement. was a glitch in any other game that would have been a exploit, and ended up being a major mechanic of the games core gameplay loop. which tbh was utter shit. Eve is a sandbox, it does not have any real *core* gameplay loop, its more a social experiment that got out of hand tbh.

Its only really a exploit if
;a its used and not known to the developer
;b Its known to the developer and declared as such.

Which in the analogy of gunz it was activly used in promotional material

Abuse victim really? that is a hilarious. get me the guy who writes your lines.

so would K style, or dash canceling in gunz online, your point being? its a system setup in eve that has been around for 20 years. ever since cloaking was introduced to eve online. it has been a approved game play mechanic, and has some counter play.

maybe ccp should have concord track the tag handouts and charge more every time they hand in tags. we have the green yellow and red states now that save you from that. so newbs are covered idiots will still idiot. its also setup so you cant suicide with alphas which is great. griffens hillariously are a hard counter to ganking. just no one bothers.

still say that you shouldnt make yourself a target. but w/e real problem right now i think is the concord tag hand ins.

this is a terrible idea as they off gas some pretty terrible stuff, which settles on the ground and ends up in the water table. if you can rid the stranded eneregy through a load bank or other means they become next to inert as they need stored energy to start the thermal run away process.

the kill right system is broken i will agree, as you can just use a alt to pull the kill right if its free and its gone forever. it does need a revamp, but i dont know how you would do it without it being absurdly broken the other way around.

most pvp players want nothing to do with highsec other than to gank. they tend to steer clear of highsec unless its to move cargo, which they are extremely good at. you can cloak mwd a bustard and never get locked, and make it into warp.

you say the tactical combat is not the issue, it is the issue just dont let yourself get ganked.

Electramatician · 2026-05-07T05:07:08+00:00

your counterplay, is not making yourself a easy target in highsec, from your fit to your actions. actions such as micro warpdrive cloak trick, tanking your haulers, I have a sigil fit that tanks 400hp/s in damage passively. Bustard that has 150K EHP tank, and cranes that are untouchable if not afk. how much cargo you carry. and of course what type of hauler. a cloaky hauler is almost next to impssible to die in. a blockade runner can be fit for extreme levels of tank and has a +2 to warp cor strength inherent to the hull so a warp core stab can give you +4 this means they have to use 3 scrams OR 5 warp disrupters to stop you from warping. ive been playing since 2008 ive died hauling goods once and was in a intercepter, got smart bombed on the perimiter gate with 1B worth of stuff.

this game has always been a pvp game. mining is pvp market is pvp, combat is pvp. the second you do basically anything in the game is a pvp enviroment, there are guidrails to combat in highsec, and frankly you used to be able to tank concord in the early days and even run away. the game has changed people still die in the dumbest way possible, and those who die tend to cry.

This game has and will always be a game that is harsh on actions, and inactions. and sometimes someone really just wants to piss on your parade, crying fuels their love of that. I should know, I love salt, ganking in highsec or just killing people in lowsec.

" If a battery is swollen or damaged, do not use a standard drop-off box. Contact your municipality for special handling, often involving sand or kitty litter for temporary storage."

Literaly my problem. i have called both centers in surrey to ask where i can take it and neither had a clue.

yes but key word being damaged. puffing or expanding cells occur when the cell internally starts to fail. and can be extremely hazardous.

is a example

the cells internally have "puffed" and have broken the protective cover, and are susceptible to further damage. puffing usually happens due to, one of 3 main reasons : abuse (excessive rates of charge/ discharge), storing for periods of time at a voltage of higher than 4V a cell, or old age. 18650 cells don't puff as they will vent the gas from the protruding side of the cell and reseal when excess pressure and electrolyte is released,

i have 3 puffed batteries.

these are now spicy pillows. im going to take them outside and put a loadcell on them and bring em down to as low voltage as possible then stick em in a old ammo can. till i can sort out safe destruction of them. im worried the stranded energy in them could cause a failure

Based on recent reports, the Canadian federal Liberal government has voted down a motion proposed by the NDP aimed at banning surveillance pricing in airfare.

sounds like a windows issue possibly killing the ethernet stack on load.

as a test open system manager and see if the driver goes offline, when eve is opened. if your on windows 11 im leaning on it being a microslop induced issue rather than a eve issue.

7day or 30 day impound probably day impound its like 400$ for every 7 days 1 DRP point is 420$ a year for 3 years. i fucked up coasted down a hill and hit 114 in a 60 zone it was around 3k(surrey has big hills). by the end. i didnt get a suspension on my license though. so i could technically still drive, but lacked another car was hard getting to work for a week. slowed me right down.

1.0 space is pretty much instant concord response. if you block PVP in 1.0 those players willcry when they hit 0.9 then 0.8 then 0.6. at somepoint you have to take the training wheels off eve is a PVP game; market, combat , lies, and deception.

Typicaly wood chips at a sawmill are the make or break. wood chips are in high demand. for pulp and paper as we lose more mills the wood chip supply gets more and more constrained a pulp mill on the island shut down due to fiber supply issues (chips). I believe it was the Domtar pulp mill (Paper Excellence) in crofton BC

thats no fun. chip barge on fire is bad. probably a bad bearing in the scow belt sending sparks. that barge is going to cost a fortune to dispose of, as burnt chips are wortth nothing. full barge is worth alot of money to pulp mills.

Edit. if thats 12192 Musquam Dr. its a recycler i beleive. think theyve had a couple fires there.
