EVE General Discussion

You lost my attention when you started bragging about being good at a video game and calling other people dumb. That and your smug avatar really makes me wanna punch you.

I'm done with this topic, it seems that all it has to offer are a bunch of holier than thou null jockeys trying to **** in the highsec cheerios because they've made their own part of the sanbox a bore.

I hear most other MMOs in existence offer fairly risk-free gameplay; you might try one of those!

We are explaining to you, in very simple easy to understand details, how to avoid the very ganks that we are carrying out. It is hilariously simple to not get ganked. There are 11 pages of people explaining how to do it, to summarize :

Don't carry too much stuff in one freighter
Don't fly through known dangerous pipes
Don't fly at peak times
Don't fly solo (use a scout/webber/logistics)
Think about your cargo and maybe use a different ship to haul it (low volume? Blockade Runner. High Value? Jump freighter has twice the EHP of a regular one.)

Its REALLY EASY to not get ganked. But just how it was really easy to not get your Hulk exploded during hulkageddon (fit some tank instead of full cargo expanders you idiots) if you bleat hard enough CCP will probably do something.

Oh come off it Goon, I've only been at this 18 days and even I can see the issue here is your coalition has become so powerful that the only thing left for you guys to do is wreak havoc on highsec.

So powerful that we've literally got an 18-man gang in highsec doing things with no alliance funding? Yikes, I can see the scale of your problem.

A great deal of effort and work goes into this. We have a production team to keep us in ships. We started the gank fest with a 1bil investment. The cost of the gank usually mirrors the cost of the freighter hull, unlike miners who can be owned by 2 destroyers at a fraction of the cost. Lots of coordination is required on the production, scanning, bumping, hauling, salvaging, market clearing, and ultimately execution. These strikes are surgical. It is a gamble every time that we execute one of these ganks, and we have a risk/reward formula that we use to ensure that our ganks are free until the end of time.

Every one of our gankers gets a free ship because our previous ganks (seed of 1bil) fund future ganks. This is a playstyle.
If you autopilot in a freighter, you die. If you cruise around with 10bil worth of stuff and don't double-wrap, you die. To clarify, 4 different freighter pilots have died to us TWICE within 30 days (some within 48hours) because they failed to evolve. Mind your surroundings. Be more cautious, hell even be smart. We kill individuals who lack this capacity. Several people have slipped through our fingers by using just a modicum of intelligence. Poetic Stanziel wrote a great piece on how not to be dumb when you have expensive stuff to move. Always use collateral. General Freight cans exist for a reason. If you are a dumb and lazy freighter pilot, chances are you will die if you move through a tradehub pipe.

When you are the very best at something, you take pride in it. How many of you can say you are the best at something?

Do you guys take classes in bullshit or are you recruited for your natural talent in it?

Oh come off it Goon, I've only been at this 18 days and even I can see the issue here is your coalition has become so powerful that the only thing left for you guys to do is wreak havoc on highsec.
