Priceless. If you issue additional shares, I want them. Didn't see this thread until too late. Sad

I lol'd, Id buy shares just because I admire your unique way of turning trolling into profit.

10/10 Hats off to you sir!

P.S. Mail me when you have more shares, prices estimated return over X/X time.

Do you have more shares available?

I predict a number of problems you will face later on, so as a serious business I cant really see this going anywhere. It is however an interesting idea and I wish you the best of luck.

You are hereby notified that I will be extorting you to allow you to continue operation in Halaima. If you do not give me 50 million ISK by 12:00 UTC June 29th, I will send a professional bumper to counter bump you, thereby preventing you from executing this business plan.

Huh. I guess let us know how things are going with the counterbumper here when you get a chance?

The idea of counter-bumping is nothing new. I think I first encountered carebear counter-bumpers on day 1 or 2 of my experiment in Arvasaras. At its height, I was swarmed by a half-dozen counter-bumpers at a time. Some of the more obsessed ones would spend days buzzing around me. However, they proved to be completely ineffective. In all my time as a professional bumper, I have never met a counter-bumper who could actually prevent me from bumping miners. Not even one--and not for lack of volunteers! Smile

Partly that's due to the asymmetric nature of the mechanics involved: Mining vessels are big, lumbering beasts that are much easier to bump than the small, quick bumping ship that I fly. But the other part is simply a matter of skill. Bumping is an art, and I make it look a lot easier than it actually is. Cool

You do realize that KM is from May 17th in some random system... right?

Your point?

All I know is a faction/t2 ishtar was popped by 2 miners, 1 orca, 1 ishtar, and Concord. I'm trying to imagine what the story leading up to that kill was.

Was an odd setup. Smart bombs like he wanted to suicide disco but wastly too expensive fit (beginning with the T2 drones but not just that) and did all of 2k damage.

Temple Priest, you may find its easier to counter bump the mining vessel, not James. He bumps the ship out, you bump it back. As James points out, a mining vessel is a much easier target than a small, nimble warship.

Edit: Does webbing a ship make it harder to bump that ship up to any speed? Could 2 Hulks double webbing each other essentially make 2 very hard to bump ships?

now that i've had a chance to login and look at war records (thanks ccp) for corps, he was at war with the miner corp. so he probably attacked with the smarties to try to get multiple targets at once, but an interloper stuck himself in harms way, opening the door to concord and counterfire. fun.

The smartbombs are to kill the orca's pod as soon as the orca dies, before it can warp out.

Right. The story behind that is he wanted to kill Orcas. Now, most miners are at least bright enough to scatter when their corp is wardecced, either disbanding and reforming, ceasing their mining activities, whatever. But every once in awhile he'd get one that would see that they'd been wardecced by a one man corp, and would do nothing. The point of the smartbombs is exactly as Weaselior said - that many faction smartbombs in the right order is just enough to kill a pod, if properly timed, even if the Orca pilot had attempted (fruitlessly thanks to aggro mechanics) to log his ship off to save it.

Not entirely sure how concord became involved but I would have to guess that it was an accident involving the smartbombs and that other Ishtar.
