I'm not sure if this has ever been posted to the E-O forums, but here it is. This is such an excellent document. It should be disseminated far and wide.

The Goonswarm Guide to Highsec Ganking

(The site on which the article originally appeared, I believe linking to it is not allowed on the E-O forums. I do have a link to the original forum post in the slightly altered blog post above. I'm not really a fan of those forums anyhow, and I wanted to edit the document to add to its longevity. Though, the game may change when T3 battlecruisers enter the playing field.)

An alternative would be to use a URL shortener, you know.

Another attempt at more Poetic blog traffic. Shocked

This was posted, in depth, here at Eve-O. The thread went more than 30 pages from memory.

EDIT : Here 'tis... the original post...

Aren't T3 bcs about fitting large weapons in order to snipe battleships and caps?

Exhumers have cruiser signature radii.

I believe the damage output and alpha on them will be quite high. If affordable, they should also make pretty damned good gank ships.

A comment just received on the Goonswarm Guide entry.

Anonymous wrote:
I have mined for at least 3 years.
I have survived every gank thrown at me.
I have even survived a gate camp in a Hulk...
...against a Drake in nullsec.
I have fit hulks that say "SUCK THIS!"
I have always adapted...
...after every failed gank.
I have more up my sleeve...
...than what your ship scans reveal.

But...

...I have never disrespected gankers.
Without them, mining would be boring.
They help me learn.
They keep me alert.
They keep the mineral market flowing...
...by losing ships.
They keep my business running.
They are vital to my bottom line.

If any one of you successfully gank me...
...I will reward you, for you are the first.


I like the cut of this guy's jib. Great attitude.

That only matters if either the target or the attacker are moving.

EDIT: However it's not the miners who should be worried about the tier 3 BCs - why waste ISK on a Talos when a Brutix will do the job much more cheaply? - but Incursioneers, mission runners and freighter pilots. Most mission ships have good sustained tanks but rather low EHP for their class. It will become much easier and cheaper to hunt those deadspace-fitted faction BS now...
