Hi yall,

So the Goonswarm Ice Interdiction was supposed to start 2 days ago, as posted here: http://themittani.com/news/cfc-announces-caldari-ice-interdiction

Apparently, Goonswarm is going to launch a massive Ice belt ganking operation focused specifically on the ice used to make nitrogen isotopes.

Yet, I have not seen any market trend indicating that an ice interdiction has begun.

So I'm wondering, did they call it off? Or were they just not nearly as effective as they made it sound like they would be?
Or has the interdiction truly begun, and the market has yet to be effected by it?


thanks,
Dragon.


If the interdiction was cancelled, the topes prices would be back to regular level. They are not. We will see if the stockpiles dries up after a little while to start a new hike.

When I poke in the belt themselves around there is still plenty of people mining.

So its not like this has actually stopped ice from being mined.

It wouldn't be logistically possible to stop every miner, in every belt, so we have to settle with just some. That's also why ice carrying freighters are targeted though. If a miner spends all day mining then it gets blown up in shipping, it's as good as not mining.

Why would they gank Gevlon?


on general principle as well as popular demand?

EDIT: I see your reasoning. However, it's Gevlon...

Yeah, but he wants to be ganked. That way he can screenshot it and post about it, and show how goons buckled to his words. When he's willing to man up an put some actual assets on the line, he can command a kill from us. Until then, his procurer can remain in the field picking up his maximum of 58 ice blocks (17.8m) per hour.


Don't forget about his Orca sitting inside the docking ring.

The ice interdiction wasn't suppose to stop all caldari ice mining anymore than burn jita is going to shut down trade in jita. It's just a fun way to extract tears from the slow, stubborn, and owners of extra chromosomes.

This interdiction might need more dramatic music, helicopters, explosions and chase scenes. The audience isn't sure whether the movie has started or we're still watching the trailers....

Err, no. Goons say there's going to be an ice interdiction, people pile in and buy Caldari ice. The price goes up. Goons do nothing. The market eventually drops back down when people start selling their stock.

We're actually broke because Warr Akini can only afford to fly T1 Catalysts. Miniluv is dead.

I agree 100%. Ice was at a normal price. As soon as Goons announced the interdiction, the price jumped as people panicked and bought ice.

Now, three days after the Interdiction was supposed to start, Ice has actually gone down a little.

Funny. Aren't people like you always telling others to get out of high-sec? Why are you trying to have fun there?

no its telling you CFC guys you suck and should start shoot eachother instead of boring suicide ganking, man honestly you flower power alliance out there makes the game boring, stop crawling eachothers balls and start fighting

its rediculous, just yesterday i was sneaking up on a 30+ fleet of yours, I thought you guys waiting for a big ambush, 20 minutes it did take after one solo ship jumped in and you engaged all hysterical like you had the fight of your life

I did not launch my bomb because i thought that is just the beginning, but no, you 30 people waited just for this one ship and warped out after that, this is rediculous, stop that ****, you can not be that bad
