What is this bumping thing you speak of?

Getting started in Miner Bumping is very easy. Here's a quick rundown;

  • You'll need a ship. The Stabber Fleet Issue is the est for this, but if you're cheap and/or unskilled, a Stabber will work fine. The basic fit includes a 10MN MWD, a couple of inertia stabs, a couple of overdrive injectors and perhaps a nanofiber internal structure if you feel like it. The rest should be shield tank or speed rigs.
  • You'll need a place to go. Tolle and the surrounding two ice belt systems are where the New Order is currently based. Alternatively, Halaima and Kamio are ripe spots for tears, and you can bump in almost any ice system.
  • Companions are good when you're bumping. Head to Tolle or bring your own. It makes the tears so much better.
  • Standard bumping procedure: Tell the miner to buy a permit (10 million ISK). When he doesn't respond or refuses, bump him until he is out of range. If you want you can send a letter explaining why he was bumped and encouraging him to purchase a permit. Please don't bump miners who already have a permit (unless they're AFK). To certify that they have one, check their bio for a declaration of support for the New Order, and then ask them the name of the Agent that sold them the permit.
  • If you can squeeze a 100MN MWD onto a SFI, it's really fun. AFAIK, the current record is somewhere around 130km for a mackinaw bump in a 100MN MWD.

    The issue is that people don't understand how internet spaceship dancing works. Its a cultural phenomenon that should be maintained - we should not impose our own values onto such a majestic and beautiful thing.

    The fluid dance as a frigate rubs against a retriever, showing its affection and passion. Targeting the ship with desire as it repeatedly pushes the ship off course as love does to us all. Sparking a fire in the heart of all as it discharges round after round into the hull of the retriever, penetrating its cargo bay and relinquishing it of its juicy ore.

    .... Its beautiful.

    Dude, who uses a frigate for bumping?

    Hmm, if someone pulled something similiar to this "bumping venture" in real life on me, there would be a fight right out of the box, I might get the worst of it (can't win em all), but i doubt they would want to "bump" me again.

    Hopefully when the new killrights rules come out some people can be creative with it and provoke some npc corp members who like to play silly bully games into some real fun.

    Now don't get me wrong, if a person if botting, hell yeah, bump em far and often. But if a person wants to sit around and mine a bit in highsec, I don't think they should be required to join someones' silly club. Probablly don't even have a clubhouse.



    Please let me know where you mine.
    I will ensure a fight is picked with you.

    Something like this should do:

    [Stabber Fleet Issue, Miner Bumping 10MN - Kainotomiu]
    Inertia Stabilizers II
    Inertia Stabilizers II
    Inertia Stabilizers II
    Overdrive Injector System II
    Overdrive Injector System II
    Nanofiber Internal Structure II

    10MN MicroWarpdrive II
    Medium Capacitor Battery II
    [empty med slot]
    [empty med slot]

    Prototype Cloaking Device I
    [empty high slot]
    [empty high slot]
    [empty high slot]
    [empty high slot]

    You should also put a shield tank on it (there's plenty of room) 'cause sometimes miners get it into their heads to try and shoot you. The capacitor battery isn't necessary, but I like having it so that I can pretty much just leave the MWD on when I'm slowboating back to the belt after a 200km bump sesh.

    Edit: Oh, you edited your request for a fit. Ah well.

    At 200km just warp.

    Good point, 200 km was perhaps an exaggeration, but there are circumstances where it's quicker to approach at 6km/s rather than warp to a 'roid and spend time fiddling around to get back into position for a new bump.
