My corp mates and I had an idea to improve high sec suicide ganking, basically give us PVPer's or high sec gankers, more time for concord to come into the belt.

Through out my time in EVE, I have seen people do AFK mining which really bugs me. I want to be able to warp out of the belt before CONCORD gets into the belt the attackers are in.

Here's the situation:

You spot an AFK miner, and you want to shoot them and teach them a lesson about AFK mining. But you are afraid that CONCORD will destroy your ship before you deal any damage, let alone destroy the ship that you are attacking. You lock on, and fire your weapon at the mining barge, barely get below 30% of their shields, ten seconds later then BLAM you get CONCORDED!

What I want is a 30-35 second delay for CONCORD to come into the belt/station where the fighting is. That will give us enough time to just warp out, and not worry to have our ships destroyed.

What do you think? Should CCP give us high sec gankers more time to get the miners on their toes?

Troll post?

If not then:

  • Go to 0.5 and gank AFK Miners there = Longer CONCORD response times
  • Get better skills
  • Get better ships
  • Be a better ganker

You should be ashamed of even posting this up as obviously you fail at ganking and perhaps should gank yourself. Oh and here's my tear jar for your ganking tears> |_| < Fill 'er up!

Well SORRY guys, didn't mean to cause a stir. It was just an idea a corp member had, and I posted it in behalf of him. For your reference, I am not trolling. I'm just a guy that had an idea thats all. P

and they changed it so you can't warp away once you attack. used to be an exploit, it isn't now.

this post is bad and you should feel bad

Now is it "an idea a corp member had" or is it "I'm just a guy that had an idea"? Either way you got flamed and I think you should direct your "guy" at the forums to get all the love of the flames himself next time Twisted

You will just drive MORE risk averse miners into null sec.

Once they understand that local chat lets them avoid hostiles in null, they'll see any PvE can operate more safely than in high sec, especially after such a change you described.

it takes you more than 10 seconds to pop a stationary target? also avoiding being exploded by concord is an exploit as is warping after comiting an act that would get you concorded

I could try to explain why this idea is so bad but I have to go clean the vomit out of my mouth. Suicide ganking isn't and never will be a balancing point or cause for change in EVE.
