Same applies in w-space. A solo player, with a collection of probes, can seriously messup a large force, just by being there and occasionally dropping some combat probes where they can see them.

Some hi-end system groups will just ignore, confident that they have enough gank to cover whatever might be out there, but most groups find it threatening and troubling ... and it seriously messes with their activities and enjoyment.


I did something like this too and it was quite funny.

I bought a whole sell order worth of t1 combat probes from a nearby npc 0.0 station(when I mean a whole sell order, I mean every single combat probe sold in the station) and loaded them in my alt's tengu(covops, nullifier)

and camped a system while dropping combat probes and going afk. I had so many probes stock I didn't even bother retrieving them after an hour.

I would usually work on my computer most of the time during the day so I would just alt tab every hour or so to see if the probes expire and launch more if they did.

It was so satisfying to see D-scan clear of ratting ships for days, until I had to use my alt for something else.

CCP, we left highsec 'cause of war decs, suicide gankers, ninja salvagers, corps that swoop in and take our belts, etc;

And then we left lowsec 'cause we couldn't keep anything out, and the harder we tried the more we attracted these terrifying people with 1bil clones and four utility alts and titan links;

And we looked in a wormhole and saw uncountable invisible sharks and oh God there's one behind you right now;

And by this point we knew that NPC null also wouldn't work, so --

We're in null now, and we finally thought we'd found a safe, private, high-security home, with no losses or scary people ever.

FIX YOUR BROKEN GAME, CCP.


Confirming that this is what Low-Sec is actually like.
