Top 4 out of 5 largest capital kills by the same team of goons in Uedama

Goons dont need tech, they got a steady supply of isk right here.


Good on 'em for doing it right! Cool

See- there's two options.

The Smart Way- Carry less than ~10b, that involves your freighter not dying.

The Wrong Way- Carry more than ~10b that one that involves your freighter dying.


You forgot the third way.Haul 50 ,split it in packs of 10 B the system before uedama , haul it to the system after uedama in these packs.Fill with the full 50B again and fly on as normal to your destination.

I'm pretty new here so please excuse the nub question. Is there no other route that these pilots could take? Seems a bit stupid to keep going into a system where you have a 100% chance of a bunch of Goons waiting for you. Also, is the issue that they're autopiloting or is the align time so slow? (never flown a freighter before)

You could just contact them for protection.

Nope, based on autopilot, you cannot go from jita to amarr or dodixie in high sec without going through niarja or uedama. Those two choke-points control all trade into caldari high sec. You lock down these two systems, you basically have cut off caldari high sec from all other faction high sec. Try it.

It's a smarter version of the jita interdiction, and a lot more profitable.

How low can you dip? It's more the number of ships needed for the gank that interest me, rather than the value of your target. If Xolve is right, the total damage on the killmail should be less than 100% because gankers are unaccounted for. If it is 100% from everyone on the killmail, then the implication is that even 1 bil is still a good gamble for a gank.

Why the hell does Eve-kill have to die now?

Technically you just break even at that point. You have to plan for general lack of drops. Terrible drops are 60-75% of the time. Soemtimes we get ultra lucky. We've killed 139 freighters and 5 jump freighters. Its a numers and probability game. We occasionally flub ganks where the DPS doesn't add up, but its very rare. Generally speaking you need get on the test server, and test How much DPS you need before concord shows up. I could tell you, but that would cheapen the sheer joy felt from that first gank with your own team.

Anyone can do this. You just need 2bil seed (that's what we started with) money from your crew, excellent gunnery skills, and a little bit of initial luck. If you want to pick a .5 like keberz, niarja, balle, hek, aufay, du annes, you could do this all yourself.

I'll even give you a tool for appraising scans that we used at the very start (we now have a much better one): http://sudorandom.com/cargoscanner

Please figure out how to do this on your own, and join in on the party. It really is loads of fun.


just want to say I like your style kudos to you in-game and on the forums

that value tool is pretty cool also, ty

enjoying your content, keep up the great work!

People could deal with the interdiction by passing in convoy at randomly choosen time. If 10 freighter show up at the same place, it require about 60 gankers to be there at the right time. You dvide the loss among the fellow convoy member and more stuff ends up passing than if people all go one after the other. Too bad asking most high seccers to work together insetad of all doing thier own little stuff won't ever work...

I approve of this amazing idea, providing more targets in 1 location is the best course of action. Proceed further.

That would mean there are many more gankers available at the same time than I though. Interesting.

Men on the internet turtling up to run the gauntlet collectively in order to increase odds of survival ? Hats off to the one who has the most pinata in the cargo and takes the hit for the team so the others might break through.

If the rebel ships were successful in getting past the blockade of the planet Hoth then I am sure men on the internet can do the same in Uedama. Just a shame that Freighters do not have ion canons.
