Pfft....haven't insured a ship since 2007, the cost is too high and the cover inadequate.

10/10, would be ransomed again!


Orly? Well put your isk where your mouth is, I could use some isk and I will happily lock you up and let you just joyously pour isk into my wallet since it's so fun for you.


You wouldn't do it properly. Professionals only, please!

Many highseccers consider James 315 as they would a father. So not quite a stranger, hey? :)


in other news, here is some maths:

if you had 10,000 mains it would be relatively safe to presume 20,000 alts.

if I had 20,000 alts I could make this forum look busy all by myself.

If I ran a mining fleet (lol) I'd have a lot of fun baiting for gankers.

- Run without a tank and then refit from the Orca after the scouts run their scans
- Keep Tengu and Legion boosts in system to add unexpected tank
- ECM drones for those blaster ganks that rely on a second shot

There would be some exhumer pilots with hilarious killboards when I got done.

You know how I know this is bull?

Aarqa's name isn't on the permit holders list, neither is his bio carrying the New Order bumper sticker.

We do fail to kill a mack sometimes, but only when we attempt ambitious double or triple mack kills. We get the first one, but the second or third can be close. You can be guaranteed everytime we undock, some miner is going collect his insurance payout.

Honestly I would love to get my Drake properly fitted for once, then just wait in belts to see if anyone comes along to gank miners, and once their criminal flags go up, just hail missiles. Give James 315 and his ilk a taste of good ole Caldari Justice.


Concord will pop them before you wake up from boredom and even if you were alert, concord will probably pop them before your missiles arrived, and gankers are completely aware that they will lose their ship, and shiploss is meaningless to them anyway, and doubly meaningless to them when New order has not quite enough for james to cash out with a titan yet 40 bil to spend on ship replacements.

Hey, now. I have a payment from 12/26 in Brap. Mostly from enjoying the show. If they'd asked for donations I would have gladly given it. I can only see this as a healthy thing for at-the-keyboard miners who put on some kind of tank.

Then there's the donation I made yesterday after they tried to gank me.

Keep it up, I'll send them more ISK. Why you all think I'm spai?

Assuming he's legit, this dude gets it. Ganked miners = more profit for unganked miners.

This was the first time anyone tried to gank my miner in high sec. It was impressive, it was quite a rush, it was fun.

They said they were ganking me for not having a mining pass. I had previously bought one, but I sent them a nice mail and 20 million to support their further activities. It's worth it just in entertainment value, but it's also nice to see miners kept on their toes.

My ship survived. I tank my macks and often fly skiffs, so I survived.

So...I Salute You, high sec gankers who tried to kill me. Good fight. Fly safe.


Very nice, +1 LIKE for the OP.

However, I think this extra visual link definitely helps get the point across.

I found a nicer content creating corp than James 315.

They managed to create a sort of "mini sovereignty" in a mining system with ample warning signs (GSCs with warnings) to whoever comes close to their space.

Those who do, are always and relentlessy and forever:

- wardecced if applicable... and those guys REALLY punish hard.

- suicide ganked, no matter what ship and how much tank they use

- podded and corpse exposed and linked.


This killerage also included various famous and less famous bumper corps, one of them is perma-decced now.


Despite they are quite wealthy, I am going to sponsor them, they create real, continuous "stuff" in that system and if I had to pay somebody for protection, I'd definitely pay them. They are not hot air who show up once a month. I have seen them and see them every day, it's fun and nice to witness.


cool story bro.

but here's the facts, JOIN a corp and grow some balls,

if it's in high sec nobody owns it until it's in your cargo hold.

if you pay ransoms you will pay them forever and they will increase.

if you want to mine and make real isk, join a 0.0 corp who holds sov. tax levels are good, protection is brilliant in most of them and you will never have to deal with the pvp carebear scammers who don't have the balls to head into 0.0 space.

During my short break from FW, before i dove back in i tried mining, and it wasnt so bad. But i found, i had many a combat skill, but no mining barge skills.

And as an obviously super l33t pvp player i couldn't bear not maximizing my numbers. So what was I to do? Ship spin till i could fly a barge?

Nawwwww, I put my well honed BS skills to use and flew a mining Rohk. Lets see them suicide gank over 100k ehp.


Mine -> Can -> hauler is pretty easy of you have alts anyway. But omg's what if they can flip or kills the hauler? Rokh has plenty of room for drones, and ewar to hold em down, and fly a battlebager if need be.
