Sorry, no tears this time, just a funny thing that just happened to me.

I have an alt, who is usefull on some days for doing specific tasks for me. When she's not doing these, I usually park her in an ice belt with a Mack and have her make snowcones for me. Once an hour or so, I dock her up, empty her cargo and return to the belt.
Also known as AFK mining.

Meanwhile, I prefer doing more productive things on my main PC, like playing Eve on my main(moi), watching Anime, reading the forums, etc.

So I was browsing these forums, came across some youtube link, watched it, browsed a bit through you tube, generally idling my time away behind my PC. At some point, I remember, oh wait, I think it's about time to clean my cargo. So I move my chair a meter to the right and have a look, yes, my cargohold is full, I also see there's a whole bunch of wrecks around me.
to be precise, there were 12 thrasher wrecks around me, along with Concord, My shields are however fine, my armour is full, my hull is intact.. so I go over the wrecks, just to have a look, and apparantly 4 people decided to try and suicide gank my Mack. Unfortunately for them, since I really don't care about 'maximum output' and such, and it's just somethign for my alt to do while I do more productive stuff, her mack is quite heavily tanked up, no civilian shield boosters, nor shiny faction junk on it, Just a good setup of active shield tanking, shield buffer, etc. ( yay damage control! )
These guys must have not gotten the memo, because the 4 of them tried to gank me not once, not twice, but THREE times, probably in the same setups, that totally failed in even scratching my paint. Sadly, since I don't deploy drones, as I tend to forget about them, and I don't need them anyway, I didn't whore any killmails to link in this.

Does railgun ammunition come in Hollow Point?

I like it. The closest I ever get to anything like that is being suicide ganked while in an empty unfitted ship while moving it.

The very sun of heaven seemed distorted when viewed through the polarising miasma welling out from this sea-soaked perversion, and twisted menace and suspense lurked leeringly in those crazily elusive angles of carven rock where a second glance shewed concavity after the first shewed convexity.

I enjoy anime too

I have a lover, her name is EVE. I see her every night and all she asks in return is that I have a pilot's license.

You have kill rights on the attempted gankers. It is EZ to find out who they are.

Moral to this story is - throw more catalysts at the problem, but throw them at it all at once.

They didn't use a ship scanner and EFT the fit to figure out EHP then figure out their DPS requirement. Too much effort for simpletons.

A real shame you weren't paying attention. Would've made a great propaganda video for James315 and his merry bunch.

Very funny.

Had something similar happen to me. Left salvage alt in a pocket while clearing the next one with my missioning alt. Tabbed to salvage alt and saw notification: CONCORD: kill right earned. WTF. Where did that come from? Shields, armor, struct of the Noctis all still at 100%
