Bah Solo ganking will come back in force in Nov when CCP **** bricks at the amount of players jumping ship to Star Ctizen.

Interesting prediction. But really, that's a WAG* - Absent some convincing evidence, I don't see any real damage being done to EVE.

This is where you carebears get lost. It has nothing to do with PvP. Yes it technically is a form of PvP; however, that's not why you gank. Most of the time it's for either tears, or profit. Yes, there is profit in ganking Exhumers. If you do it right and with a little luck from the salv loot fairy punk you can make quite a bit.


By definition you're still being a chicken **** for shooting something that doesn't shoot back. You can try to dress up your excuse all you want, but you will still be a chicken **** with a pile of ****** excuses.

How does it make any difference if the target is shooting back? I'm suicide ganking your ass, I already expect to die. You firing back at me is not going to lessen the DPS raining down on your face.

There is risk in everything, I don't see how you can call someone "chicken" (how old are we btw?) just because someone doesn't see or do something your way, does not invalidate their point of view. PvPers gauge their chance of survival in a fight and do not engage where they feel that they will lose, how are are they not also "chicken"?

Variation is the spice of life... I feel inspired and think that I might delve in to some ganking. Pirate

Good boy, when you get better skills you should get a stealthbomber and go gank multiboxer ratters/miners in null they are more interesting preys and the tears are so good.
I recommend goon space atm, people are really mad if you cloak there, email me ingame if you want more info on hot 0.0 destinations.
Oh and it's also profitable. Pirate

The tears... How they flow!
'Ambush' is the oldest form of hunting. And the oldest form of war. Get over it.

Meanwhile, I'm here to tell you that I've lost my first Cat... Didn't manage a kill. Call it a bad case of 'buck fever:' 0.7 sec, and I saw an ice-spawn anom. So I stuck my nose in. After blatently investigating sveral hulls, I stopped even bothering with my passive scanner - no one was reacting.
So I found a likely-looking retriever, and opened fire.

No dice - Concord was too fast, and my meager skills didn't provide quite enough DPS. Will have to haunt lower sec status systems, even as I continue to build my cat-specific skills. But it was certainly fun... and I have a whole stack of Cats awaiting me in Jita. Twisted

You're thinking in it too much. And just by counting how many times you've been introduced to the all favorite asterisk with your two sentences of comment begs the question of you being upset. Why? Probably because you lost something. How? Probably to a gank, which is why you're here.

Let me help you better understand this better by using a different method since you haven't figured it from the other posts: Let's take at look at the animal kingdom. Is the lion that hunts the gazelle a "chicken ****"? Of course not. The same is true of those who suicide gank. This is a bad example, but it might just work for you. Just remember this if it's the only thing you remember from this post, it all boils down to isk.

Furthermore, the fault rests on the gankee and if you can't figure out why, you shouldn't be here. And the amount of patients a ganker has far exceeds your typical highsec player.

My first successful gank. Pirate

Sloppy and badly-executed, but that Retriever was smoking scraps before Concord finished me. Cool
