I want to do suicide ganking, like Industrials, Frigates, mining barges and that stuff, but I can't do it alone. Is there anyone wanting to help me with, for example, shooting with me or picking up the stuff they drop. I have asked in recruitment channel for a suicide ganking corp, but all I got was 5 people wanting me in Goonwaffe, at a modest fee of 500m. no, **** off.


Thanks!

I'm just going to say, it probably isn't worth it.

You could get really lucky and grab some plex, but in general the struggles of having to repair your security status, (not to mention bounties and your own reputation), mean that the majority of suicide ganking is done by alts that are then biomassed for new ones to be created.

It's much more economically and time feasible to gank with 17 t1 destroyers than with characters that've been trained up to use high-end gank tornadoes. It's not really much of a career path.

Not a forum alt.

Recruitment post has been deleted.


Do not recruit for your corp in this part of the forum.


OP, you can use the in game tools to find a corp, or go to the Recruitment forum and ask there.

Nobody in his right mind will help you. Why sacrifice your ship, ISK, sec status so you can run off with the bounty. Unless you get lucky find some newb who officer fitted his mission boat it is hardly ever worth it anyway.

My sec staus is rapidly dropping through the basement. I'm already a legal target anywhere in hisec. I have no plans on bio massing myself. Having to stay constantly on the run is just the price I pay for my educational efforts. Besides, I like my name way too much to get rid of it.

On a side note, don't waste your time making kill rights available for a character like mine. M everyone can already shoot me now.

Ganking is not about profit. Its about the fun.

I am just here to snuggle and do spy stuff.

The best way would be really to join a highsec ganking corp. And as other posts stated, it's definitely not about the profit.

Can I also give you a bit of a harsh reality check.

No self respecting player pirate Corp will give you the time of day let alone invite a total newbie into their gank gang. The nature of pirate play is that you have to be able to trust your team mates. So until they actually get to know you, and start to build trust, they are not going to have some unknown in their gang.

One of the the reaons that the 'odds' are in player pirate gangs favours, is that most know eachother and work well together as a team. It's the one thing many high sec solo players fail to understand.

Find a decent Pirate Corp, that will help you to develop and give you the opportunities to earn your 'spurs' but don't expect them to put anything on the line with you until you have done so.

If there were such a thing as a highsec ganking corp you could probably read about them in the Crime & Punishment forum or even the Science & Industry forum...

There aren't many dedicated suicide ganking organizations. Your typical gank operations are in pairs on mining boats, by null/low dudes on a freighter (Miniluv falls into this catagory) and pickups of other flavours of scoundrel who have spotted something juicy.

So, basically, getting into one of those other sorts of organizations will fullfill your needs there. If you're looking for a wider variety of scummy behaviour contact me in game and we'll get you into the life, which will probably include some suicide ganking at some point. It may also be worth your time to go check out the New Order, depending on your motivations for ganking.

Good luck!

Its worth noting that biomassing your character and re-creating a new one to remove the negative security status is considered an Exploit by CCP and will likely result in a ban hammer.

You can use the new tags if you find yourself being pursued all over highsec.

I know its the Newbie forum, but he asked for help. Its not a corp, its just these guys, so I hope its ok, but if you check out this site:

http://www.minerbumping.com/p/become-agent.html

You can read about some swell guys and gals who will help you get started in the illustrious career of hisec ganking. You don't have to join any particular corp. You can stay in an NPC corp, or join any corp you like.
