10 hours old character can do it. Yes. But please don't forget: we are speaking about goonswarm! Don't you think suicide ganking could be a really difficult task for them? Roll

Yeah because everyone doesn't have at least 2 other character slots to take 3 days to train a hauler Roll

Also, can't call what they are doing 'griefing' as griefing is against the rules. Ganking miners isn't against the rules so it isn't griefing.

Original poster is pretty dumb, if you want to live just move to a non-gallente/blue ice field and continue your macro mining there without losing billions of isk in exhumers each week. Can't stop a determined goon gank squad.

Disappointing so far.

the only guys we've ever seen in ala log off the instant a goon enters system

which, of course, is bot behavior

i'll probably kill them then report them all I imagine the highsec bot doesn't know agression mechanics

What miners I've seen do seem a little skittish.

They bolt as soon as I uncloak beside them :P

LOLing at all the dead miners.

What's funnier though is how long some of these bots manage to keep mining in spite of all the explosions going on around them. I know, I know, it would go so much easier if we'd stop torpedoing the Brutix & Thorax, but that goes against the spirit of Suicide Ganking and would be an affront to the Suicider's honor.

Yesterday in Brap, our Hero Bot Johny Fever withstood volley, after volley, resolute in ignoring the explosions going on around his Mackinaw class mining vessel.

This op delivers.

This is eerie.

Do you feel like something terrible has happened?

An untold tale of pain and destruction? This place looks like it was a beehive of activity and many an ice block was stored in busy industrial ships.

Where are they?

Where are they now?

You warp to another belt, the chill down your spine being annoyingly persistent.

Your ship finally slows down, grinding to a halt.

Those hopes you had? Shattered.

Nothing here.

Those Serpentis? They couldn't have killed them? No. Impossible.

The chill has turned into goose bumps. What if they are coming for me?

Will they? I am no threat. Those mining lasers are only good for rocks and ice.

Do they have another motive?

It was an idea I was playing with. Thanks for pointing that out, lolz. Almost as good as posting gonegalt in a public forum. All I have to do is change the name now.

Sorry, I was writing the rest of the story when a wild covetor appeared.

Fear not, the peace was restored to the belts immediately.
