Heh. Hahahaha. Oh, good one.



well, instead of pimp-fit (albeit untanked) hulks, you now have OK-fit (still untanked) Retrievers flying around.


I suppose that qualifies for some definition of "smarter".

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

Well, just this morning a hulk with only a B-Type Small shield booster for a tank was killed in Jarzalad. The pimp fits are still out there.

Yes, you have. It would have been enough for you to read the OP to know that looting from a suspects can doesn't give you any flags, but even that is apparently too much effort. Please go back to WoW.

Except, of course, that with one extra step in the process it works flawlessly. Blink

True, but you need 2 characters for it. But due to the safety feature, not many fall for it anymore. More fun is to steal the ore/ice with an Orca, we scooped up couple hundred of Ice from a retriever+jetcan+orca+freighter operation with only a shuttle going suspect. The miners were not amused ;-)

As boring and as self-promoting as I find James aged 13.5, this is a better response than just whinging about how mean CCP are for stopping effectively free ganks on mining ships.

In 0.5 and 0.6 untanked Hulk/Mack/Covetors are still profitable to gank, as are full tech2 fit retrievers. The difference now is that you have to be really dense to not tank your mining ship.

And how many miners are "really dense"? More than 50%?

Oh do stop whinging Andski.

CCP decided that ganking miners, effectively for free, was not something they wanted to allow.

In null-sec speak, HTFU and deal with it you wretch.


Nooo... Gank ships were rellatively expensive. You could only gank effectively without like five people if you brought T2 blasters. The price just kept increasing. Plus sec grinding.
