Crime & Punishment

Le sigh.

Step One: Learn to fight. Pretty easy, you don't need to join RvB, just read some rather excellent guides out there floating around on the Intarwebz.

Step Two: Do your mining ops......but have your new Security Division guys cloaked up nearby, on-grid. Ideally, they should be in nice warspec-fit combat ships (warspec-fit is similiar to mission-fit...find out what your enemies preferred ship-fit is and counter it).

Step Three: Lay bear traps. Have a 'mining op' with everybody in Battle Skiffs/Procs. Have your Security guys laying in wait in a deep safe close by. Make sure the bad guys know about it by having somebody 'sell you out'.

Step Four: Find their mains. This is pretty hard to do, usually, but sometimes you get lucky. When it works, hilarity generally ensues.

Step Five: Profit!!

Or, if you are in a hurry, hire Cannibal Kane. He's not a pirate, he's a terrorist..:)

Well, ok, ya got me...


What I meant is you should have multiple safe spots set up near your mining belts, off-grid.....you do this by having somebody fly about 2000 klicks out from the belt, set a bookmark (in corp locations), and have your combat teams park there while you 'mine'.

If nobody shows..hey, you had a good time in corp chat and murdered some roids.

If they DO show up....well now.

Make sure those Skiffs and Procs have some scrams/points to go with the webifier drones they'll be launching..;)

Brave Newbies at one point had 8-10 wardecs living in Hek... the docking games played by these elite hi-sec pvp corps drove us crazy. We were cleary out-skilled out-gunned and out-shipped by all of these pvp'rs but we consistanly logged on formed fleets and learned from the bottom up how to work as a team to get some really great kills and also more importanly FUN.

We moved to low-sec and BOOM we're down to like 2-3 corps deccing us and like just 1 corp that camps the gate to our low-sec region so for the most part we don't think about the wars anymore, the targets we have in low-sec actually battle (we got hot dropped by PL, was amazing seeing titans for the 1st time lol) and we continue to still have fun. Whatever you do do it with corpies because everyone should realize thier playing a game.... Play it together.
