I was just about to open an account in EVE Online when I heard a pretty bad thing about this game from a friend. He says he’s been killed while he was offline. Is this possible? I just can’t believe it because if you can get killed while you’re offline this game doesn’t make much sense.
Unfortunately it is possible. It happened to me once. I just logged off for a couple of minutes while lying at the pos and when I returned I realized I got killed. It seems the only way for you to be safe while you’re offline is to be docked in a station. Anyway, I had a brand new clone so there wasn’t really that much damage. I don’t think this happens that often though.
