Crime & Punishment

[The Aim]

"To extort/loot or otherwise gain from silly empire folk with pants on head recruitment processes"

The Laidai Awox Requirements

#2-3 Characters, 3 is in my opinion and for my stratagy the ultimate combination for near risk free Awox. These char's need only a few days training, and they are ready to roll.


Pilot One Oh hi my name is bait ! I require a fraction over 3 days training and i'm ready to go, All I need is the minimum skills to fly the ship below, Anything more is nice, but NOT required. And yes, i look like a week old noob...... But thats kind of the point! Nobodys afraid of the week old idiot in a drake.

The Target

Finding the targets is as you can imagine very simple in EvE highsec.

Lazy Aproach Trawl over to a mission HUB and simply act noob and ask in local (varying success) or simply hunt in the recruitment channel. The advantage to this is that its quick, the disadvantage is there is no guarentee that the corp has any expensive ships.

Laidai Aproved Aproach Sit your drake in a mission HUB station, and sit outside in one of your drakes, with a passive targeter and ship scanner. Scan all mission boats exiting station, MOST will be things you would like to gank ! But wait, you need to show info and check out the details on every bloody one of them.... Most will be one man corps, or bots (the bots are pretty widespread!, and easy to see) If its a one man corp do not give up hope, convo that man ! but ideally you want a small corp of around 10 players, convo convo convo, you will get a lot of rejections !

How you start your chit chat is upto you, and what persona you use when your in lieing-thieving ganker mode, mine normally began with a "sorry for convo, but wow ! nice ship man" followed by lots of nooblike questions asking about his ship and butt kissing. Pitch the recruitment question, and you'd be suprised how often they take mercy on your noob ass and let you in (EVEN THE ONE MAN CORPS, who created a one man corp to be safe ?! )

What if they do a recruitment check ? Or API ? - In simple, out of my last 10 ganks only ONE has made any form of background check at all... Mission runners are fools, and luckily for us a fool and his isk are soon parted !

Once all has gone well (can take a few attempts) and your in your new corp, you know your targets ship.... now to kill it. Note during your stay in the station chatting to folks your ospreys should have been creating your 'deathsite' , this is explained below.



The Deathsite

Quite simply a safespot, you need 2 warp ins

"Deathsite" // a direct warp to 0 at your safespot
"Deathsite @ 85" // Do I really need to explain that one ?


"Why cant I just kill him in HIS mission?" Because the new NPC AI will eat you alive, you will die.
"How do I get him too my Deathsite?" Lie, Lie Lie !! any way you can. My aproaches have ranged from "cool guristas extraviganza, fancy giving me a hand?" to sitting there all sullun announcing that your probably going to die as your scrambled and didn't put any bloody ammo in your hold ?! (Cue gallant hero warping to your aid).


Offs shut up idiot and explain how the crappy drake kills nearly any known mission ship?!

#You warp your target, or get him to warp to your Deathsite at 0km.
#Announce "lol wtf this isn't my mission" this buys that vital second of confusion (T3's can warp fast) while you activate scram etc and aproach your target so your sitting on his carebear face
#Your ospreys orbit @ 85-90km feeding you that oh so vital cap and shield
#you have two neuts which will make mince meat of 90% of mission ships (Wierd cap booster prats best avoided, unless you want a LONG gank)
#Sensor damp(s) ensure target CANNOT lock your ospreys
#Overkill on webs means he cant move anywhere

TARGET DEAD

Cool guide, might have to try this out at some point

Nice guide! If your two Osprey alts are out-of-corp, then you shouldn't have to worry about them being attacked - the missioner would have to go GCC to get at them. Unless I missed something(?).

Nope. They will only be a legal target if there's a bug. That does pop up sometimes, though.

I get the fact that they would be pretty dumb to not do a background check and just let anyone in. My question is what fun is there from doing this to newer players? I can understand an older player as they should know better, but what is your motivation on the newer ones?

This is not a complaint to say this is unfair, all is fair in a PVP game. I just want to understand the motive. It would seem so unfulfilling to me to gank someone with no risk who is new. I am going to classify someone as new if the character is less than 3 months old. For the younger ones wouldn't it be better to get them to the edge of gank, and ransom them? Lesson is learned but not so much as to discourage them from playing again ever.

Fair enough. If a new player is Plexing to buy faction stuff, bad idea.

There are those that search out shiny boats and then try to get into their corps. I prefer to get into a corp and then look for the best available target. You never know what they're going to get.

Also, in regards to hitting new players, I notice that when dudes are less than a couple weeks old and they get hit their response tends to be something like 'damn, how do I avoid falling prey to that in the future?' and dudes who have played for several monthes or more ten to have a reaction a bit more like this charming fellow:

Redacted > what really makes me mad is that people like you breath
Redacted > if you want to do things like that then go low sec

I think it's better to hit them young before they calcify in their wallet-watching carebear ways, when they still might be able to develop an interest in getting their head in the game.

Agree kinda, worked on me

Back in 2004 sniggardly stole my ore in torrinos, then proceeded to mock.... Cue nerdrage, and one concorded frigate. Went pvper then pirate shortly after

Already bored.
