When I was last in New Eden, a destroyer could sacrifice itself and remove a retriever and a T1 Tornado could remove a Hulk/Mack. I have heard there has been changes to the mining ships that prevent successful solo removal of a miner from high sec.

Is it still possible to pull off solo removals of miners in high sec?

Thank you for your time!

Actually the new thing seems to be bumping them and charging them ISK to leave them alone.

Google miner bumping or James315.

De'Veldrin's Corollary (to Malcanis' Law): Any idea that seeks to limit the ability of a large nullsec bloc to do something in the name of allowing more small groups into sov null will inevitably make it that much harder for small groups to enter sov null.

Soloing mining ships is still done, there was a web page somewhere where you could see all the solo kills, mostly macks since it's king at the moment of mining but short answer yes cause too many knuckle heads play the percentage game and don't tank.

If that makes them angry, I can't imagine the mouth frothing rage that must over power them at a full on suicide gank.

I love James and what he's doing. It is sad, though, that we've been reduced to bumping people to interfere with their gameplay. I wonder how long until that gets nerfed, too.

Most of the anger comes from "those damn sociopaths" still not quitting EVE despite CCP's best efforts to turn highsec into a nonPvP ISK farm with Inferno 2.0 and Crimewatch.

I know, right? Can you imagine the trolololoing that would happen if someone posted this in C&P two years ago : "All you canflippers, ninjas and "profitable" gankers are gonna be gone and in your place will be a bunch of null alts ramming battleships into barges 'cuz that'll be the most effective way to screw with miners."

They've kind of escalated from the bumping, it's turning into a full blown gankfest, since the C&P miner bumping thread.

The way I look at it is that the miners got what they wanted, a stop to the bumping, now they just explode by the dozen.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

With the new bounty system, you can just about break even on most ganks. If they drop any T2 modules, you can slip slightly into the positive (this is assuming you loot your own wreck with a neutral alt).

Dont you think it's even sadder that people choose to spend their time doing this rather than something interesting or challenging?

That would require them to have imagination. Huge prerequisite for some. Big smile

To OP: ganking still happens. It just requires a bit more homework to figure out which over-entitled muppet is actually tanked (yeah, right), and which ones are not. Logically, the latter are easiest to solo gank. Although the occassional 300 mln Hulk with faction fit tanking modules can be juicy at times, too. Pirate

Miners, like all pilots, like to display their affluence through the purchase of luxury items, otherwise known as 'bling'.

Retriever with Elara MLU's. 150 mil
Covetor with two empty highslots, and one ORE strip miner. 370 mil
Mackinaw with Dread Guristas invuln field. 670 mil

Being the shiniest miner in the ice fields - priceless.
