Yo...No of course not, you were all engaged in PvP.<br /><br />You probably still will get called a carebear though :p You've pretty much permenantly bestowed that title on yourself by claiming miner ganking makes you single handedly better than everyone ever in PvP. You're pretty much going to need to solo kill a fleet of supers to redeem yourself from that.Lucas Kellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03969897349629783605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-24014564189347989412013-07-21T05:38:30.493+02:002013-07-21T05:38:30.493+02:00@Lucas: we were shooting the SBU when Goons bridge...@Lucas: we were shooting the SBU when Goons bridged on us. The dreads were ordered to get out but we weren't capped as we just jumped in and spent a cycle in siege. We warped off to celestials and waited for the cap. I got capped when Goons land on grid and could jump, the other 2 not.<br /><br />Please note that the dreads on the linked killmail had no kills on 7-20 in SPLE-Y, the day and system they died (click on pilots). Neither have I as I did not shoot subcaps and enemy caps were not on field. This was not my choice, FC ordered to jump out.<br /><br />So in that sense I did not PvP. But neither the dead dreads. Do you claim that the dreads that lost in a 350 men battle were PvE-ing?<br /><br />Gevlonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07072766785893313616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-37140041563044596202013-07-21T01:24:35.674+02:002013-07-21T01:24:35.674+02:00@Anonymous 13.12

But ok you are not a carebear in your million isk ship but he is with his 2 billion isk ship in a null sec war.

Perhaps if you defended stations like 9-V for example :p<br /><br />And yes, shooting and repping structures is not really considered PvP. If you were providing reps in a live battle, that would be PvP even if you aren't shooting people. Generally shooting in any situation where you are not at risk of the target retaliating is not considred PvP as such. I'm not sure why this is a difficult concept to grasp. So that said, if you were in that battle then it would be classed as PvP regardless of your role or ship.<br /><br />Just out of curiosity though, which character were you on, as I can't see any of your characters on the SBU killmail. In fact, I can't see any dreads on that killmail (as in the SBU on that page http://zkillboard.com/detail/-13021810/). Are you sure that's the right killmail?<br />Lucas Kellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03969897349629783605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-41207328104805325312013-07-20T20:45:22.251+02:002013-07-20T20:45:22.251+02:00I can't see you anywhere there, unless you'...I can't see you anywhere there, unless you've stopped naming you alts *Goblin. In case you were there - congratulations, you made a first step into pvp. Now, try to make that your main activity and you might just become a PvPer, which you so desire. Someday maybe you'll even try solo roaming, maybe even in a frig (and I'm not trolling here - frigs are the most skill demanding ships to fly properly). Maybe there's still hope for you. Although, given the horrible reputation you've made for yourself, I think not many will believe you engaged in real pvp.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-44187144224598835042013-07-20T15:17:09.621+02:002013-07-20T15:17:09.621+02:00@Anonymous: read the zkillboard link 2 comments ab...@Anonymous: read the zkillboard link 2 comments above. <br /><br />In short: 13B Goon and 11B our ships were lost, including 3 dreads from the picture.Gevlonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07072766785893313616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-31549040205710056242013-07-20T14:22:44.726+02:002013-07-20T14:22:44.726+02:00@Bobbins

The only difference between shooting a tower and shooting a defenseless barge is that the tower doesn't smack talk back in local. Take a ship out and go hunting for some good fights and then you'll have a right to be sarcastic about it. Now you're still a carebear who gets told when to push F1.
