bloody hell. Stay out of grey space, you can have all the Pve you want. Stay away from unmonitored wormholes (actually not too hard to do).

You're not forced into PvP, but if you go somewhere dangerous, you should NOT be protected.

For those who are against pirates and pirating:

1. If you immediatly turbo upon exiting a wormhole you will NEVER get caught assuming your ship can do 200.
2. Making it even harder to fight people would not help at all, as just about everyone runs away anymore except for those willing to fight.
3. Stop going afk in potentially dangerous space, I *WILL* kill you.
4. Holecamping has been pretty much made a neccesity since if you cant get close, you cant fight, and unless someone comes in near you, you will never get close due to the current engine system.

PIRATE'S RIGHTS.

1 is blatantly false. EVERY time there's been someone waiting on the other end of the WH I've been caught, and I immediately turn toward empty space and turbo. Lighter ships with neut3 can get behind a heavily laden trader and kill it unless they get really unlucky with the wormhole.

To be honest, it sucks. You might as well put a random probability of having your ship destroyed by the wormhole, it would have the same effect. You pop out and explode - thems the breaks. You are totally powerless and there's nothing you can do about it. No one plays a game to feel that way. I realize that this is part of the game, but you can't pretend like it doesn't suck.

The answer is simple, hope it hasnt been mentioned before:- Stealth after wh., either time or distance from wh. Tuned to give a predator/victim balance. We don't have the benefit of the Red Queen effect with current ship/batt/wep config. maybe we will soon so you end up with stone/paper/scissors scenario. EnB was very good in this respect different setups for different mobs. Sorry to mention it again but it was the standard most compare to
