First of all, if your boyfriend would rather spend all his time playing EVE than hang with you, then you might need to find a different boyfriend.
Second, no, I won't destroy it, it's a Dominix, that's expensive, that's just mean.
Third, **** that, I'm flying an Omen, I don't feel like having that blown up the same way as both my Myrmidon and my Dominix.
And finally, if this isn't just a bad trolling attempt of some sort, go away and deal with your **** on your own.

I'll run a couple of locators. If he's in lowsec/nullsec, I'll have a look-see.
And Dominixes are cheap. T1 battleship, meh. Also fairly useless against my nanopest.
Might get your boyfriend swearing and cursing.

Ain't cheap if you can't get into a corp and have to rely on missions and salvaging to make money...

Honey, L4 Missions pay retarded amounts of ISK. Worlds Collide. Angel Extravaganza. Blockade. Pirate Invasion. Pirate Slaughter and so on and so forth... I rarely get anything short of 30 mill out of one of these. If I can be ***** salvaging, depending on what rats I'm facing, it's easily 50-60 mill. L4 Mission Running is the single best source of income in highsec, unless you have multiple highsec POSs and a damn good logistics system providing you with T2 component materials or T3 component materials. And it also requires a retardedly high Science and Manufacturing Skillpoint pool to work right.
PvE wise, the only income source that beats L4 mission running is nullsec plexes/anomalies, or salvage/loot from Sleeper Drones.
Naw... Battleships are cheap, once you can fly one.
Oh, and as for this:
CCP said it themselves. Harden the @#%^ up.
What's your character name in Eve by the way, Drift?
*looks entirely innocent*
Seriously though. There's few things in Eve that's black and white. That you're risking your ship every time you undock, to pirates, griefers, or quite simply bored people who are looking for something to kill... Well, that's one of them. If you can't afford losing it, don't fly it. It's that simple.
Edit:
And what do you mean "can't get into a corp"? There's corporations spamming half local chats in Eve, not to mention the recruitment channel, the recruitment forums, the trade channels, the CAOD and so on and so forth... If you're not in a corp, it's because you choose not to be. A couple of days of actively looking, and you'll have narrowed down a very decent set of corporations that'll suit you, and then it's just going to their forums and sending applications. Or joining their own Recruitment channels.

Ill jump him, break his tank, then ransom him and destroy his ship anyway if you want me to. Ill even bring friends.
I just recently did a class 3 wormhole with 3 other people. (Technically 4) 4 drakes and a cormorant salavaging. In an hour and a half we did 15 sites. (4 solar cell, 9 outpost frontier strongholds, and 2 Forification Frontier strongholds.) And we received a grand total of 950ish mil isk split 4 ways. Then we popped that c3 with an orca and got another wormhole, this time with a smaller number, with 5 sites. Those 5 sites were done in 20 minutes and we got 350 mil for them.
What are level 4 missions?

Eh, not worth breaking ransom for. Just make it... high...
The reason I really dislike breaking ransom has nothing to do with 'honour' or anything like that. It's simply not cost-effective. Sure, you get the money and a nice shiney killmail... but at the same time, you lose reputation. When you get the reputation of not honoring ransoms, no one'll pay it, and thus you shoot yourself in the leg, in the long run.
The few times I've pirated, and needed a bit of cash but really dislike the mark... well, just set the bounty a great deal higher than it'd usually be. It's surprising how high people are willing to go if you just keep reminding them of all that work, getting their new ship together, insuring it again and so on and so forth. So much hassle.
Besides, there's always a good chance they can't afford it, so you'll get to shoot them anyway.

Meh I live in wormholes. Letting people out of your hole after they know the location of your hole is a great way to get sieged (Of course popping your high sec after killing him is necessary). Ransoms are just another way of letting people know that wormholes are the most dangerous places to be in eve.

Ah didn't spot that edit of yours about Wormholes. Yeah I did mention them in that very post, but that's not exactly High-sec income, is it? Heh.

Unreliable ability to maintain an account for more than an month or two at a time, not having the time to play every day. etc. No one wants a casual player.

I agree. Thing is though, we shouldn't have to worry about people specifically targeting us over others because someone who doesn't play the game asked them to. It's ******* dumb.

Mhm. Instead let's stick with someone targeting us specifically just because they're bored. Or because someone in-game wanting us to. Or because you happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Seriously, this game is entirely about the griefing.
And yeah, if you can't reliably play the game, then corps may be hard to find. But look at the bright side. Sit in the newbie corp and you can't be wardecced.

Well, had locators running each time he logged on. He's stayed in highsec for the most part, and I can't be ***** going to the amount of trouble it'd be to get random strangers in highsec ganked. Too much hassle. I'll keep firing off a locator once in a while, but unless he hangs in lowsec more often, I doubt I'll be leaving nullsec to hunt for him.
Toughen up mah boi :) Its what eve is all about!

This didn't need to be revived, but I still stand by my earlier statement. I'd rather have my ship blown up because someone was bored than because my girlfriend lacked the courage and intelligence to talk to me about a gaming problem.

Woah. Like, woah.
And I'm not talking about the whole 'girlfriend hates boyfriend' thing. It's just that reading you and AI talk about the game was so... so... technical. I've been playing fantasy MMO games for so long I forgot that there are games that use terms I'm not familiar with. Locators? Nullsec? Wardecced?
I need to pick this game up again.
On a completely unrelated topic, is anyone actually using the EVE template for this forum? Yellow and white on light gray? Seriously?
Edit: Sorry about the necro. Apparently the pages move slowly here.

Please "talk up" if your comprehension white-shifts. I will use simple-happy language-words to help you understand.
