Came expecting a Shakesperian thread about ganking.


Much disappoint.

Ganking Requirements (From My Experience)

HiSec: Low EHP/AFK
200mil+ in cargo
Expensive fitting
Looking for tears

LoSec: If it moves, shoot it.

Null: If it's red, shoot it.

WH: If it does not belong here, shoot it.

It doesn't matter.

We just kill it.

As long as it's no bigger than a shuttle or frigate, right?

Good Target to gank is anything that you can kill for profit and/or tears.

Bad Target to gank is anything that kills you instead.

What Does one consider good targets to Gank or Bad targets to gank, meaning a Hauler, Miner, Mission runner, Ratter?

Does it matter if it is high sec, low sec, null sec, or WH space? If so why and to what extent?

What do you look for before you commit to the kill?

Please don't assume this is a how do I prevent from being ganked post, I just want to know what you think and feel before you rake in tears.


Does the suffering of your fellow man make you feel all nice and warm inside? If so, gank and welcome to the club.

It really depends on the purpose. For profit, you should go for ~4x the value of your gank fleet (in cargo of course). This would mean a 300m isk fleet should gank a freighter carrying 1.2b+ in cargo. ~600m would drop leaving the difference for things like profit, failed gank, or other stuff that comes up. Of course this is just a minimum. If you really want to rake in the isk, you should wait for 5b+ isk freighters.

A good Gank is where you kill the opposing ship(s)

A bad Gank is where you attempt to kill the opposing ship(s) and get rage rolled / Ganked / hot dropped yourself

To gank or not to gank, that is the question.

Whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The gateguns and concordokken of outrageous fortune
or overheat against a sea of bears
and by opposing loot their wecks?

From what I understand this is pretty much the point, barring other considerations like standing.

You can never have too much DPS, overkill is a myth.

The USAF are the inspiration for Minmatar ships, the AC130 Spectres/Spookys and the A10 Warthogs are all about the dakka.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.
