the moral of the story being, if you're a freighter pilot, don't be stupid.

Same as it was before, then.

Get the hell out of the NPC corp and into a player corp where you can be wardecced and you can stop worrying about suicide ganks.

Hi, thanks for your articulate contribution to my thread. I'm between corps at the moment, just had a very interesting offer today that will take 24-48 hours for validation, so I'm just kinda hanging atm. Check my employment history, and you'll see that I just left a corp that I spent but a measly two days with before I got the new offer. If you re-read my OP, you'll notice that I'm not expressing any worry about suicide ganks. I'm not a freighter pilot. In fact, I think I woud enjoy blowing one up.

See you soon Lol

You will have to wait forever for freighter pilot with decent bounty.

Also freighter price 1.5b + ~1b cargo resulting in 500m ISK bounty payout will deplete bounty pool very quickly.

That's what I'm talking about, nothing changes, you're still taking targets of opportunity, except now, the added variable of the bounties means there's an added chance of an increased payout.

Nope dont work anymore.. Put a bounty on them hunt them done.


Put a bounty on someone, then go kill them to collect back a portion of your own money?

How does that make ANY sense?

I just had a fun xmas gift Idea... on Dec 25 everyone gets killrights on everyone else for 24 hours! That would be awesome Shocked



I don't understand this.

Results:
1) No hugh sec carebear undocks.
2) Low and null carebears only undock/leave the POS shield if local is empty.
3) People that like to PVP form up into roaming fleets looking for people to shoot, then spend the day trying to out maneuver each other, each fleet trying to only get into fights it is sure to win. Since it is impossible that a fight be "sure to win" by both sides, few actual fights occur.


Other than the part where no high sec carebears even undock, how is that any different from any other day in EVE?

Why would the high sec carebears not undocking be so awesome?

As much as I hate to encourage high sec ganking, someone brought up an interesting idea that would open up a possible exploit to the bounty system when suicide ganking.

eg. 10 person freighter gank and if those 10 people have bounties make sure that you all have at least 1 laser targeted on each other.. pop the freighter like a pinata, get the freighter bounty, and then get the bounty from each other when concord blows you all up.

Not sure how many people it takes to gank a freighter, but it's definitely an opportunity to clear your bounties and profit from them as well as getting the freighter loot.


The gankers can shoot each other well before the freighter gank. The most damage done in the last 15 minutes determines who gets the bounty. So they should shoot each other while waiting for a target to show. That way once a target does show they can still apply max dps to it.

Another Fun fact: While considering a suspect flying in space today, I realized that not only was I likely to be able to gank his Proteus with my Thrasher Blink, but he could immediately post killrights to his friends, potentially having them catch me before I dock if I did.

The one thing I wasn't sure of, was if the killrights were applied immediately upon attacking being as success was no longer a requirement. Aggression is immediate = killrights would then be immediate?

So either way, I thought of some interesting ideas after that. Smile

..also, more in line with the OP; someone has to put a billion+ bounty on them first.


When you kill a suspect. They do not get kill rights to activate on you. He and him alone can shoot at you.

However I have noticed that people fly around as a suspect in expensive ships have got Logi with them.


Yep, he had an Oneiros and a Guardian iirc. They had suspect flags to from repping him, but they docked when they expired. Makes the station game a little more drawn out when they have to do that I think. Much better with the new system as the old was just far to much flim flam.Smile
