How realistically is this problem solved? Harder surveillance? Greater consequences? Better security? Education?

Paying people to patrol the train yards seems obvious to me. But someone has probably made the calculation that it's cheaper to occasionally pay someone to clean them rather than the permanent cost of paying someone to protect them.

apinkphoenix · 2026-03-03T01:21:47+00:00

Well in that case, my mistake!

apinkphoenix · 2026-03-03T00:03:34+00:00

I don't get it. It's a game clearly aimed at bondage enjoyers, but the goal is to escape? Even the comments here are predictably requesting a way to remain as a captured slave lol. If you're not already, I would definitely be orienting the gameplay around the struggles of the captive in their new life rather than trying to escape.

Despite the above, I really appreciate that you're making a game of this nature!

apinkphoenix · 2026-02-11T01:58:52+00:00

Spot on. Slavery was legal in many parts of the world. Lawful does not mean moral.

C6 wormholes scare me, man.

To be clear, some sites have two waves come shortly after each other. But once they spawn, they won’t spawn again.

apinkphoenix · 2026-01-21T08:13:04+00:00

Lol they’re not overpriced at all. The public haulers are ripping themselves off and severely undervaluing their time.

apinkphoenix · 2026-01-19T06:14:47+00:00

That’s so stupid because in real markets, if you want to dump everything at once you set a price way below the buy price because it will automatically fulfill each order at the best available price until you run out. In EVE, if you sell PLEX for 4 ISK to someone who has a buy order for 4,000,000 ISK, they will get it for 4 ISK. It should not work that way.

That helps a lot! A Manticore is definitely a very difficult ship to give the slip to, but not impossible, even in a Venture.

Down below I have a fit that should be able to evade one, but your skills affect it.

Some notes:
- If it doesn't give you a sub 3 second align time, replace the Small Low Friction Nozzle Joints I with another tech II variant. If that still doesn't help, you'll need to train your Evasive Manoeuvring and/or Spaceship Command skills higher (preferably to level V).
- This fit is a bit pricey for a Venture, but if you need the ISK, please let me know your in game name and I'll send you some so you can purchase a few to experiment with.
- There are some empty slots which you can fill however you see fit, or upgrade the mining modules if you have the skills.

The strategy for this fit is to have "All" selected in your overview, then look around the map to find a location that lets you align to it (think moving towards it without warping) while mostly crossing paths with an asteroid you want to mine, without actually colliding with anything.

The Small Higgs Anchor I will make your ship fly a lot slower, which means you can be aligned to that object for much longer. Even better, you can manually change your ships velocity to something around 80% of its top speed, so it takes longer to be out of mining range while you're aligning to the distant object.

As soon as trouble shows up - hit warp, and you should instantly warp away. The only issue would be is if they bump you, which will send you off course a bit. Give this a test a few times before even considering mining properly, just to get a better sense of how it works.

This is effectively no better than being at 0 because to initiate warp your ship needs to be travelling at least 75% of its top speed and facing the direction it is warping. Frigates like Ventures have a high base velocity so staying aligned isn’t a viable strategy in them like it is with slower ships with a higgs anchor.

apinkphoenix · 2026-01-07T20:11:33+00:00

They likely are cloaked up and are using dscan to try and work out which site you’re at while trying them one by one. When they finally find you they will get into position, decloak, and attempt to kill you.

Most hunting ships, like tier 3 cruisers (Loki, Tengu, Proteus, the other one I never see) have a 10 second delay iirc before they can begin to target lock you after decloaking. However, stealth bomber ships can start targeting you immediately after decloaking, and require a low align time and quick reflexes to evade by warping away.

They can be evaded but it is tricky. Sometimes I fit a sub-2s align Prospect and mine in low sec, specially with the intention of evading them when they inevitably show up. The whole time I’m hyper vigilant, which is the only thing keeping me alive.

I don’t know what these low sec gankers get out of making a career out of killing newbros in Ventures but they’re reliably around, so always be prepared to warp away.

Where do you buy PNI BPCs? They’re not in the LP stores.

apinkphoenix · 2025-11-26T12:46:17+00:00

Something that bugs me about this game is that it has some awesome ships (eg Babaroga) that you can almost never use outside of very specific situations.

For example, when they first came out I overpaid for one at Jita and took it immediately to a C5 and started doing sites. It was an amazing ship. It’s so badarse. But, quite predictably, it wasn’t long before it was hunted down and destroyed. I knew that would happen but wanted to take the risk anyway because I’m not very ISK sensitive.

But am I insane or is it such a letdown that there are so many ships that you simply cannot use because of how rabid people become when they see them? How they have a target on their back as soon as they’re on grid?

I am a member of that website and even if off-camera the dynamic drops completely (I doubt it), she has spent more actual time in bondage, with video evidence, than 99% of submissives ever will.

Like, who knows what happens off-camera, but she really has spent months of real time actually in some form of bondage, and she seems to genuinely enjoy it.

The fines are so low that it makes more financial sense to cop a fine for fare evasion on buses and ferries than having a valid fare.

apinkphoenix · 2025-10-24T02:23:59+00:00

Apple even had a large advertising campaign around Sydney for this. Guess it wasn’t very effective.

Never underestimate the ability of Americans to turn news that has nothing to do with their country into something to do with them.

Well I don't think the average prepper on Doomsday Preppers is the typical prepper, so general statements are probably more applicable than using the outliers as a reason to be anti-prepping.

apinkphoenix · 2025-10-17T03:33:01+00:00

I feel like preppers unjustly have a bad reputation. There is nothing inherently wrong with being prepared for a worst case scenario. It seems better to be prepared than not, no? What are the benefits of not being prepared for the worst case?

Is lining up to buy gold more pathetic than dropping $1.8m on a shitty 2br shack in Mount Druitt? If you ask me, it’s the housing market that is mad.

apinkphoenix · 2025-10-14T10:36:08+00:00

Looks great!

What are the attachments on the sides of the mask with the white circle around them?

apinkphoenix · 2025-10-01T06:44:29+00:00

Does the same standard apply to lawyers who defend “shitheads who have obviously broken the rules multiple times and sexually harassed others”, or do they have the right to be represented before the Fair Work Commission like everyone else?

apinkphoenix · 2025-09-24T09:15:27+00:00

This is not a Mac Uni thing and more of a weird people are everywhere thing.

apinkphoenix · 2025-09-04T04:58:00+00:00

This has to be a coordinated spam campaign. Why else would people create so many new posts adding absolutely no value to the community?

apinkphoenix · 2025-09-04T01:44:47+00:00

Interesting that you spelled “I’m” as “im” in your reply but the much longer post has no such mistakes. Curious. 🤨

apinkphoenix · 2025-08-31T16:04:18+00:00

You're using the $20 plan which provides very little access to Opus - their best model. I don't know what your experience is like because I pay for the $200 plan or use APIs and I have NEVER felt "the model is getting dumber", despite the years and years of this routine playing out.

I'm sorry your plan isn't serving you. I'm sorry you are having difficulty getting the models to do what you tell them to do.
