Massive conspiricies in EvE
I'm suprised no one has said anything about this yet...I read in I think it was the latest Computer Gaming World about one corporation who moved a spy up the ranks of another corporation, all in the intent of assasinating the leader and stealing billions - and they succeeded. Not only did they make away with the Spy's ship - the most valuable ship in the game, of which the only two in existance belong to the victim corporation, but they also made away with millions of game credits, worth upwards of $16,000 dollars, AND they managed to assassinate the leader (podded her and then killed her) - causing her to lose her implants, a cost of +$600.
Anybody hear about this/have a link/have the EvE community's official stance?

When people get this invested in a game, it means you've done something right as a desginer.

...or they're just freaks. One or the other.

You're kidding.. right?

 
Re: Massive conspiricies in EvE
Yeah, the article was in last months PCG... Anyways, I think it was just insanely cool how they pulled it off. And that is BS if they are going to try and sue the Guiding Hand Club (the name of the bounty huter corp that pulled off the stunt). I mean, all it is is simple PvP and they were given a contract to bring in her body, so they did it the only way one can. Yeah she lost a year of work, but hey, **** happens. Hell, the Guiding Hand's spent almost two years infltrating the guild, rising in rank and everything, so they spent just as much time and effort on it as the target did. It might not be fair, but it happens. I also love the fact that the whole incident was orcistrated by players, not NPC's or anything, just shows you that this game truly does give you th chance to do whatever you want, however you want. I did try the trial, but it didnt fly with me.... Game takes tooooo long, and I am a WoW whore.

Re: Massive conspiricies in EvE
So...do corporate hiests and such like this take place often in EvE? If they do, I'll give it a second look :D The combat was just too...un-space-combat for me, though. Is it worth it?
And why was this stickied? :D

Corp theft is legal within the game environment and the GMs won't reimburse you for your losses.  However, its looked down upon by alot of people (for obvious reasons)

Re: Massive conspiricies in EvE
The only downside for the spy is that for the rest of their time using that character, they'll have a billion-isk bounty on their head and will get podded to **** by every merc, pirate and victim-corp ship in the galaxy.

The only way they could really ensure their safety is by staying permenantly in command of the stolen super-ship.

If Thorn's picture thing is accurate, it's collosal beyond compare.

Re: Massive conspiricies in EvE
Well, the corp that pulled off the stunt has the only two ships of the class known to exist. The name is something like Imperial Apoclypse or something like that. Very expensive and needless to say extremely rare ship.

There is only one Carrier and Mothership in the game Afaik.

BoB has the mothership they won it in the caldari tournament.

But dreadnaughts are starting to be prety common though.

This is awesome.  They're all a bunch of whiny *****es if they want to sue those guys for this.  If they put THAT much effort into something like this and pulled it off, more power to them.
