Crime & Punishment

You can't fight a kamikaze pilot.

Best case, you get a gank fleet together and pre-gank them. Hard to do when they instawarp on undock to a safe spot for ~10-15 seconds then warp to zero on target.

You may take out one ore two before CONCORD shows up but they already planned on losing the ship so you have not changed anything from their point of view.

If we, as miners, could fight back, we would. Most of us have heavily training into *gasp* mining and lack the skills to effectively gank with a decent chance.

Also no matter what, we lose, either our barge / exhumer or whatever we choose to pre-gank you with. The gankers lose the exact same amount of isk / time / profit in either case. No matter what we lose time and for a miner time is money.

I would be willing to pay for a permit if it did not require my pilot to 'Praise James 315 and his New Order" in my bio.

Also I am iffy on their "Concord Manipulation" as being 100% OK with CPP ( Not an exploit, but damn close )

This is why paying the 10,000,000 ISK for a one year mining permit is the smart economic move for any miner intent on maximizing his profit. Putting "I support James 315 and the New Order. www.minerbumping.com " in your bio doesn't hurt you a bit. So what if someone else looks at that and thinks you gave in. You're a miner, no one is expecting you to be William Wallace.

In return, you don't get bumped or ganked and all you have to do is follow the New Halaima Code of Conduct which is for the good of the miner in the first place. You get to sit safely mining and enjoying the lively local chat, the discomforting of your business rivals and the spectacular sound and light show put on by the Knights.

People donate billions to James 315 to further the goals of the New Order of Highsec. You are asked for a small 10,000,000 ISK donation that goes towards removing afking botters and other bot aspirants from the ice fields and asteroid belts. Paying it proves you are dedicated to being part of the solution to the problems faced in Highsec by all the good intentioned players like the New Order. Some refuse to pay at first of course but we Agents are known for our patience. We will continue to hold out hope for the non compliant. When you look at it that way, its sort of an act of love on our part. Join with me in saying:

Highsec is worth fighting for.

Much, much, much cheaper to pay us though.

Except, y'know, none of the miners that tried that have ever gotten to see the 'lulz of interdiction'.

No you don't. CODE. is an alliance of ganky alts below -5.0 and dedicated wardeccers. Attacking it will a) not affect the gankers and b) not affect the bumpers. The only effect will be that the wardeccers get targets to fight.

We don't have logistics. Our suppliers are completely crowdsourced and all unrelated to the New Order.

Then we'll find them



Brace yourself, Winter is Coming.

To defeat suicide gankers, you have to find ways to make sure their target survives the gank. That's all it is.


Killing the gankers early is one strategy that has worked in a few isolated instances. There's no need to suicide gank the gankers, as they are already legal targets to everyone in highsec.


You have forced them to spend time on an unsuccessful gank. That time has value.


Not all counter-gank strategies revolve around firepower. And no, your attempt to report us as "ISK Scammers" is not a useful counter-gank strategy. For an affordable fee, I am willing to act as a private consultant for your gank defense team.

One of the miners I ganked made a killright available on me! /o\

You should have seen the EVEMail arguments that Capt Lynch and Anslo got into.
