Why in the nine crimson Hells is this thread still going? It's getting nowhere.

Bullet points to consider:
- Barges and Exhumers can be tanked to survive (but can only survive for so long)
- Barges and Exhumers with Logistics support can survive a gank fairly well
- Barges and Exhumers actually have scored kills due to the above listed point (the second one)
- Barges and Exhumers are broken down by class with each having a relative amount of EHP
Tier 1 - Procurer/Skiff (Frigate-class)
Tier 2 - Retriever/Mackinaw (Cruiser-class)
Tier 3 - Covetor/Hulk (Battlecruiser-class)
- The more you feed the trolls, the more they'll just keep coming back
- Drake, you're a ****ing moron in both an Industrial sense and a Literal sense as you neither read nor acknowledge the content of previous posters, but just throw a tantrum and try to make your "point" (also your grammar and spelling is atrocious)
- Suicide ganking is going to happen wherever, and whenever
- High Security space offers relative safety directly correlative to the security level of the system in question
- If you don't want to lose your barge/exhumer, mine in something more durable but less efficient and stop ****ing being a *****
- If you're sick of being picked on, either bring logistical support, mine in grav sites, or just don't mine (be a harder target)
- If EVE is too hard for you, give me your stuff and Biomass

If you have to do a full 180 degree turn in anything other than a frigate in a belt, you fail at eve. Get out.

Oh another Protip for those that haven't worked it out yet....don't mine in systems of less than 0.8.

There is nothing wrong with the game mechanics. Suicide ganking is a fact of eve life. Stop crying like little girls, HTFU and deal with it.

And before anyone else makes comment, think about this....suicide ganking is nothing new, but yet everyone else manages to get by without crying about nerfing gankers?

*Edit*

I am not a suicide ganker by the way. I don't like it anymore than anyone else does but they pay to play same as we do so each to their own.



Look who's talking.

Sounds like you need to learn to read as well.

I never said one bloody thing about suicide ganking being not fair or complaining about it.
I'm only talking about hard facts and data.

You obviously have never tried to pilot a hulk....

The 180 bit is a metaphor...aligning a hulk is a waste of time at best because even if your nose is aimed in the correct exit vector you still have to throttle up and then get at the right angle of attack to warp out...especially if the exit vector is above or below your zero elevation. And even if your safe spot is spot on...your hulk or mack is slow as the slowest fat cat... and lets be honest...who doesn't land at zero on a gank strike without a cloaky pilot?

When they strike..its first salvo and your dead...period.

Lower sec rated systems gives them more time to take you down. They can bump you off course as well.

Its easier than shooting fish in a barrel at that rate...just look at all the fun the goons are having after all.

I'm also finding it laughable that people think they can tank their hulks to survive a suicide gank.
Yeah...right...keep going with that idea...you'll find out real fast its a total waste of time.

If it was possible...it wouldn't be so popular now would it.

Wake up and smell the quafe people...your just making pitiful excuses and refusing to read.

Suicide ganking is here to stay....but lets try to make it a little bit more interesting and try to make it challenging enough shall we?

If you haven't figured that much out...your just as dumb...if not worse... as you accuse me to be.

Serious case of "selective reading loss" If I ever saw one.


I can and have flown a Hulk. I do actually tank mine rather than go for the paper thin easy to die variety that you obviously fly. However I do actually do expect someone to try and suicide gank from time to time and prepare for it.

Do you happen to know the actual raw HP of a tanked hulk? Do you actually know the total max damage a single BS can do if fitted to gank? Do you know the total cycle time of arty? Suggest you find out before whining anymore about those nasty suicide gankers.

Make it challenging? Like getting free isk from a belt with ZERO challenges there already? Next it will be gates on belts that only barges can use? lol can see it now....nerf drones!! Nerf everyone else's ships but mine! LolLol

Have you bothered to ask any suicide gankers if they want things more 'challenging'? Since when did you decide that they need this challenge? I suspect all are very happy with the way things are.

I am actually of the opinion that you are just trolling because no-one can be this dumb.

Back on topic, I do not agree that there needs to be higher penalties for suicide ganking. It's fine the way it is. And this comes from a non-suicide ganker, go figure.

Oh and btw?

1) It takes up to 4 or 5 salvos for me to kill them, why? I use Autocannons because they're the proper tool for suicide ganking, not howitzers. (Do I really have to explain this part out? I don't want to.)

2) It is more than plausible to fit a passive shield tank on your Hulk that will last long enough for CONCORD to arrive, wanna know how I know? I've seen it work.

3) The reason why fitting a tank on a Hulk isn't popular is because of the people who fly them that think high sec is a perfectly safe happy place to be, so they lose their hulks because they're dumb. Back when I did mine, I had a passive tank on it, and it worked.

4) The challenge in suicide ganking is not popping the Hulk, it is beating CONCORD. There is no fun what so ever in destroying a defenseless ship (Ok, just a little bit), but destroying the ship before CONCORD arrives is where the fun and the challenge lays in. That was just an fyi for ya.

So please shuttup, if there is a thread about being station camped 24/7 go ahead and post away there cause you would be the expert there, but don't try to look smart in fields you don't know about.

Roldanus, you somewhat missed the point of my previous post, I am attempting to help Draconis understand something he knows nothing about. While my post does have what I believe to be why some people gank and how they do it, I do know other people use other methods. I take it that you're one of the many who are the receiving end of ganking, no? The issue at hand here is not an issue at all, but just a result of Goonswarm.

Eve is a big universe.

There should be room for all styles of play.

People play online games for entertainment.

Some chose a style of play opposite their RL circumstances. Some people want an adrenalin pumping experience, some don't, some want to be bullies. ( Before flaming me as a care bear, I am a RL veteran of the Vietnam War, so flames will fall on deaf ears).

I agree somewhat with the OP, the balance of risk vs reward favors the 'wanna be bad boys'. I would be a fool to solo mine in 0.5 and expect to be immune.

However the "Perception" of accountability for your actions and the "Reality" are where the problem arises.

When you have a CSM member posting on how to exploit the agression timer;

The Mittani

it is a sorry commentary. CSM and CCP should be addressing exploits. Many suggestions have been made for accountability for your actions, few if any have been instituted.

As much as I love to flame and hate on Mittani... that unfortunately is not something I would call an exploit. He is legitimately using two characters in this case. This can only be blamed on CCP for encouraging multiple accounts and characters. Can't really blame them as it does make them more money though.

Not only should one not receive insurance payout for being Concorded but I think you should lose the option to receive insurance if you die while GCC is active and also when your sec status is below a certain level...say anything below -5. Even if you are ratting and lose your ship to a rat but have a -5 status...no payout.

If they deny you payout they should at least refund your premium if you bought insurance.

I fly logistics, and a few times I have gotten sec status dinged because I repped a guy in my fleet and then he did a dumb thing. With RR fleets one guy being dumb can start a chain reaction that causes everyone to lose sec status (sometimes people even do this deliberately as griefing) . Not everyone with low sec status is necessarily an evil serial killer.

Assumptions. Nothing irritate me more than people blindly assuming things, something Draconis is known for on a quite frequent basis. Anyway, with that said, he obviously has never tried to tank a Hulk.

Drake Draconis wrote:

Passively tanked Hulks make for a reasonably hard target if done right, but then again, that would require at least a baseline knowledge of PvP. Which its obvious that this clown has none of. Isn't that right ZeroSeven? A properly tanked Hulk has better odds of survival against a suicide gank. Why equip cargo mods if you have Orca support? Hiroshi linked a fit that would survive a hit from a Brutix, and if you actually listened to people who OBVIOUSLY HAVE MORE EXPERIENCE THAN YOU, maybe you'd learn something, rather than be sitting in an inactive Corp with an Alliance that has hemorrhaged TWENTY THREE Corps, has lost over SEVEN BILLION ISK worth of blueprints, and is leaking Intel faster than the Titanic was leaking water.

Your entire roster is kind of cute. I find it funny that of the people on it, two of them are you, and of the other seventeen, roughly ten of them haven't logged in for months. Maybe they finally got sick of your totalitarian rule.

In a world of tools, you're the whole ****ing shed.

You make it sound so FUN! How can I not gank stuff after posts like this?

The risk vs reward would completely disappear for miners if you had your way. Mining in highsec would be utterly risk-free, and that's what you want. When I enter a wormhole and run anomalies, my PvE ship can't take on most PVP ships. That's a risk. The Noctis I use to salvage the sleeper wrecks is even more vulnerable. That's another risk I take. Why do I accept these risks? Because there's profit to be made.

This is Eve. Go do something dangerous for a bit.


You completely miss my point. I am not saying remove the ability for someone to gank. I am saying make it a lot more difficult. The risk vs reward for the miner isn't the issue. Its the risk vs reward for the gankers that is. Gankers deliberately lose their ship with no risk of being podded and have a huge reward depending on the target. Usually way more than the dinky ship they lost. THAT IS THE PROBLEM! Lose 1 100 mill ship for a reward of anything from 0-god knows what. Only an idiot ganker targets a ship that has little of value in its hold. We have seen gankers make billions off a single hauler kill and what did they lose? A few measly points of sec status and a cheap ass ship. Is it clearer now? RISK VS REWARD UNBALANCED!

In my defense, the ruthless miner was assaulting the beautiful Omber asteroids in the system, and just happen to take a drone from a container I had dropped. So not only were they a murderer, but a thief. The madness had to end there.

The same guy who calls its a victory when said fleets are slaughtered.

I can't wait for someone to step up to your smug face and prove to the world your a phoney...its just a matter of time.

Oh and Jack...learn to pay attention...those blueprints you keep blabbing about with your garbage mouth...they belonged to the original owner and they where returned by myself personally to that owner.

But your too busy spraying bull#### all over the place in your butthurt for me fireing your stupid ass in the first place.

So since we're so busy hanging out our laundry here on the forums maybe you should take your own advice and learn to shut the hell up yourself and biomass your own toon while your at it as you call it.

You fail miserably...you talk like your the best....but your a phoney...your a fruad...and your a fake.
you know whats funny...is angry onions who echo's you at least has valid experince in 0.0 life and low sec.
You've had ltierally zero.

You spend all of your time can-baiting and can-flipping.....its a wonder half of the people around here aren't laughing at your fake ass.

You want to prove em wrong? Go spend a few months in 0.0 space and show me otherwise...lets see how long you last out there eh?

I went there...2 to 3 months worth...got people to prove it....left...why? Coulnd't hack it....not enough time to commit to the game and to pay attention to all the things they have to pay attention to.

I spent a couple months in WHS....did fine there...cant live there by myself and don't have time to maintain it.

Its called real life....a job....I have bills to pay....while your spouting crap and everything thinking your impregnible...someones gonna cut you down to size.

Your kills are noob ships and frigates bulk of the time....and your a terrible leader. Your answer to everything is get going or you pod them. You threaten them with brutality but you have no compassion for anything.

Yet you accuse me of being paranoid and tossing you out on your ass...how hyporcrtiical.

so please..get over yourself.

I never said I was a pvp'er..yet you insist no pointing out I suck at it...you know what jack..we know that..thank you for pointing it out.

Maybe you should take care of your life a little more and spend less time with your head burried in this game for a change.

You might actually learn something for once.

Everyone can see the writing on the wall...everyone sees your killboards and everyone knows whats REALLY going on.
You failed to learn that once..and you will fail once again.

So keep hurumphing and smacktalking me...you will get nothing....and you will continue to fail miserabily as you utterly have no imagination efforts to copy me. (Oh I found that out too)

You make claims that we're dead and hemorging funds....so far...its become quite obvious your throwing isk away faster than I ever thought possible.

Its publicly posted and quite obvious.

You say I dont undock...you say I dont do this don't do that...did it occur to you that I'm not niterested in playing the game your way like a total idiot without regard for tactics?

No...you don't think..thats right..you just kick people in the teeth and yell liek a 3 year old who doesn't get his way.

Please..go right on ahead....no ones going to stop you...and you'll just keep spraying your garbaging bossing me around and telling me to leave.

Get used to it Jack...im here to stay.

That goes for everyoen else in your little motley crew.

Get it through your thick skulls...i dont care...you where tossed out...rejected..refused...and trashed.
You can scream..you can whine...aint going no where.


This is no different than someone yelling at the goons.

Your just a buncho f babies....well keep crying. Your good at it after all.

Maybe its your purpose in life now....its all you do now.
Cry at me and complain....please by all means keep going.


And as to the arguments people keep spraying about tanking hulks and suicide gankings.

Keep talking like you know what your doing....you dont.

Just because you can EFT warriorize your "Stuff" doesn't maen it will matter worth a damn in-game.

Just try and go fly your hulks tanked up in gal space and tell me how it works out for you.

Talk like your pro suicide gankers and all dat.

It's funny...I don't see the goons throwing a fit...they are having a blast.

And snice your so busy pointing out I suck....I guess you should check to see the last time I lost a mining ship.

Oh...yeah...thats right...I havn't.

Once again your ignorance...and your aragonace...shine like a disgusting blemish on your faces.

You keep making threats...smacktalking...yet you do absoltuely nothing.
Except throw your members into the maws of foolishness and scream at them for being stupid.

Please Jack...stop lying for once....and maybe you live long enough to survive.

You not being a pvp'er isn't really the issue too much. The issue is that you are literally terrible at everything you try.
PVP - 0/7

There is a difference in thinking of a strategy and constantly sitting in the station. Strategy is good, don't get me wrong on that, its utterly stupid to not use a strategy. But you don't do that either, just sit in station and ***** like a girl.
