Crime & Punishment

I posted the following in new citizens Q+A because well you know im a noob


https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=260989&find=unread

But i would like the opinion of some of the more hardened people here. I would like to punish/teach these people a lesson as they seem to need it. What option would be the best to follow

1, Create my own corp and wardec the carebearing/mining little guys I have a fair bit of cash that I had ringfenced for moving an alt into trading.

2, Pay a merc to wipe out their little corp not as much fun as wardeccing them but you know could be cheaper in ships and fittings

3, leave them alone let them move into a safe happy career of WoW care bearing.

4, Buy some catalysts with the cash i would spend on the corp and gank them.

Any other recommendations would be highly valuable to me

Buy catalysts. My corporation have a bunch of catalysts for ganking. I'll be home the 27th, so I could probably help you out sometime after that.

May your revenge be sweet and just.

If you really want to **** off the high sec pubbies try this out.

Get into a pvp fit and steal from the wrecks in anoms. These professional anom runners tailor their damage & tank to the rat of the space they're flying in. This makes their fit extremely predictable allowing you to tailor a fit for them. Another bad habit of pve'ers is to use only the bare minimum, usually active, tank needed for ratting...in high sec no less.

Get a high alpha cruiser or AF or dessi and mwd from one bs wreck to the next stealing their loot until they open fire. Then have fun & if you have the time ransom their ships.

Armed with this knowledge and the balls to put yourself in harm's way you could get a nice easy introduction to the mechanics of pvp. Plus you get tears, which are difficult to extract from people who expect to get ganked.

(Some of this advice could be misleading. I haven't run a hs anom since my trial. I think that if you can fit your cruiser into the anom there's a good chance you could run into a t3... but their fit may also be horrible. If you tailor a frig pvp fit against a frig pve fit and choose your targets well it could be great for easy kills and tears but the loot won't be great.)

Edit: Don't mess with people in any of the starter systems and you will be entirely justified in whatever underhanded crap you want to do.

Fixed

Ignore them and not only loot the shinies, salvage them too.

I recommend an Imicus for this, as

A) in addition to 4 salvage drones, it can also carry 4 combat drones. Say, Warrior or Hobgoblin. T2 preferably, of course.

B) has a decent cargo hold for the loots.

C) can fit a gun (don't laugh, that one meta 4 light neutron blaster might just be the reason you get the kill...)

D) doesn't appear very threatening and therefore they are more likely to agress.

E) is cheap. Free if you are willing to keep suffering thru the tutorial missions where they hand it out.....

And you can fit a salvager on it for those pesky t2 wrecks the drones won't touch.

Not drone specced? Not to worry, the other races have cheap t1 exploration frigs too (Magnate/Heron/Probe).

yeah, isn't it what i said?

yes, it seems really obvious for us since we pvp, but many carebear would bite, you would be surprised i think

id' say go for the catalyst.

wardec will probably not work, weither you do it yourself or hire merc for that, i they are just miners, they'll stay docked for a week and you will just have lost isk.

leaving them alone,well....up to you but i wouldn't, they shall suffer and i like to see ship go BOOM (yes, even if it's mine too)

the only thing you should think about, is your SS, it WILL drop fast, and you need to have a plan to get it back up, assuming you need it to stay up (at least up enought to be able to enter highsec for the time of your revenge)

Send me their corp-name via eve-mail and I'll add them to ~my list~
If you'd rather the satisfaction of doing it yourself then god speed new big-bad meanie.

Wardecs will achieve nothing; they'll just nab a free ally and gloat that they made you dock up as much as them. In matters of revenge one needs to act swiftly and without warning.

shy quiet yaarrr


Ok so contrary to advice i followed the corp and war deck route on a different mining corp.

It seems from my excellent intelligence gathering corp mate that they are multi boxing.

So we have made a few kills of this corp and plan to make more over next few days. It seems the corp in question are either not paying attention or just lazy to answer our combined assault. So im thinking of my next stage in the plan.

Extortion !!!!! yarr

So if we keep going without interference i will have made back my wardeck money within a few days. So now is the time to up the ante. I wish to try and extort some cash from the corp in question maybe enough to buy a plex.

What is peoples normal approach? im considering writing a nice polite eve mail pointing out that before the end of the week we will have destroyed x sum of your ships and equipment + x sum of your time + x sum of mining ores lost. If they would like to make a donation of x amount to my coffers i would look for a target elsewhere.

What do you fellow happy yarring guys and gals think?

Also i would like to make a mention of a corpmate who has really shown me the ropes given me some amazing information and amazing advice thanks !!!!!
