All I can say is wow. Killing a easy target well is easy. Cant see how anybody can feel victory over destroying an indy ship. It don't even fire back little kids. Might as well go play with yourself. Everybody get in a combat ship and lets have a real fight and see how you gankers do then. Something tells me you would run away and then go play with yourself, because that's what kids do. punk ass cowards.

Our killboards are stocked full of droves of fools who didn't think they'd find us out in lowsec and got slaughtered. At least they don't cry about it.

Actually, pulling off coordinated freighter ganks takes a bit of work.

1. You need to gather your pilots in one place, which is hard when they're all -10.
2. You have to supply your pilots, which is hard when they're all -10.
3. You need someone to bump the freighter until you get ready.
4. You need to ensure that all of your pilots land right on top of the freighter at roughly the same time.
5. You need to ensure that all of your pilots are properly fit and that your fleet can do enough damage to take down the target.

I've was on voice comms with loyal & co. during Burn Aufay, and it sounded surprisingly like a fleet fight. Orders given, actions taken, goals achieved, all with a good deal of planning and work (and no small amount of banter and hilarity between ganks). Their targets may not be able to shoot back, but taking down a freighter in 20-30 seconds takes more planning that most people realize.

Also, check CODE.'s killboards. There are plenty of combat ships there too, usually ones that were trying to defend something and failed.

You could always AFK white knight!
Just setup two Ospreys each with two large/one medium repair with cap transfer and set them on orbit round the bump target. Fairly low skill requirements.


Just remember the advantage is always with the ganker as he dictates the engagement. If they don't destroy the intended target then they seriously need to change the fc. However dispite being proven to be spineless in 'fair' competition Loyalanon seems adequate for the job of fcing frieghter ganks.

Bronson I would have way more respect for your legion of Guardian Angels than I do for the current White Knight crowd. A hoard of logi ships would be really annoying and would force Code to bring more dps ships than we would like.

Of course I might just show up and pick off logi ships one by one as they go suspect, cause that would be fun as hell. I'm sure it will take some time for your logic to sink into the brains of your audience as they are blinded by hatred, but maybe some of them will listen to your wisdom.


Funny you should suggest going suspect while repping as I have noticed that would have happened on a couple of freighters had I not set the safety to green. I suspect these freighters may have been intentionally engaged in a limited engagement in order to get unsuspecting logistic ships.

You have no idea what you are talking about. Loyal is a more than capable SOLO pilot, and has "#rekt" (god I feel dirty for the stupid hash tag) me in lowsec, when he was outmatched.

I am no god at pvp, but im not crap either.

Loyal does like that "rekt" thing, but yeah, dig a bit deeper into his killboard. Hes actually pretty good at lowsec PVP.

We've been out in lowsec a lot lately and I feel like I can say with a certainty that ganking barges and freighters (efficiently) is so much harder that its laughable. So far in the ops I've participated in out in lowsec, I haven't lost a single ship because of good scouting and we have more or less insta blapped all the gangs we've bumped up against. All these guys saying we'll get wrecked in low either have no idea the coordination that efficient freighter ganking takes, or are simply awful at pvp and are used to getting wrecked by guys like us. My money's on both.

Oh, and don't even try to mention FW either. Been there, done that. Like blobbing around with 50-80 cheap merlins is a superior activity to anything, morally or skill-wise.

I guess the New Order scouted their opposition in the AT and decided not to engage. (RvB)

The worst thing about trying to stop freighter ganks apart from the non-existant rewards is identifying the target and the unknown timing of the attack. Both of which is determined by the attacker so it should be impossible to stop a freighter ganker. However I guess the objective is not to stop the gank but to make it less efficient to gank.

This is all true. The gankers will always have the advantage of choosing the time, place, and target of the engagement. All the White Knight community can do is make ganking more difficult.

But this should be enough!

After all, surely a bunch of sociopathic PvP failures wouldn't keep suicidie-ganking if it took more work and coordination, right?
