I heard there are freighters dying in the ice belts and the carnage is ramping up

The interdiction only started officially today. What you have been seeing is just some individuals jumping the gun.

Check the killboards, you'll see more than a few orcas popping up on there, and more exhumers and barges than I can be bothered to count.

Also, not every belt will be hit at the same time. Obviously covering 100% of belts would not be possible, but there are definitely enough already going down to make a dent.

Makes a lot of sense to start 6-12 hours late. Let the prey be lulled into a false sense of security, then dispose of them all once they come out to AFK mine again.

You're assuming that ice is actually moving at the increased prices. No trade volume = no profit.

I'm not assuming. My wallet is definitely not assuming either. It's.....real.

That's why I just sacrifice my ship instead of my life.

And Ice mining is the lowest form of PvE, so it only seems fitting, n'est-ce pas?

You should sacrifice your posting priveleges

EVE is a game about spaceships and there's an enormous amount of work to do on the in-space gameplay before players (or developers) are ready to sacrifice it for a totally new type of gameplay - CCP Rise

Yea, not so much. Gate camping may be pretty low on the list, but nowhere near suicide ganking. At least gate campers take the risk of people being able to PvP them back, and kill people who are mostly at their keyboard.

Nah. They're pretty much the same in that regard. It's not as if gank victims can't PvP the gankers right back and be at their keyboards.
