Nothing is gank PROOF
A lot of things are gank RESISTANT

My methods of travel:
Freighter/orca for large capital mods
Cloaky hauler/interceptor for expensive mods
600,000+ ehp buffer proteus for t2 blueprints
Wait till after downtime to move AT ships and buffer them to the max(don't use hardeners)

Other things needed:
Multiple instant undock bookmarks on trade-hubs considering you undock at different angles at random
Warp-to-zero bookmarks on station destinations
Scouts

nope.

Even the Veldnaught could be brought down, if a large enough group were sufficiently motivated. (Hint: The Veldnaught is as close as you'll *ever* get to "gank-proof")

I'm willing to bet if someone were to try to gank the Veldnaught, and succeed, CCP would make a permanent wreck.

Can you post that Proteus fit? That is a downright impressive number of EHP.

My method of travel for most things:
Public courier contracts. Let useful idiots take all the risk for you.


If that's not an option, definitely use the five minutes before downtime and the ten minutes after it. I had to move a 1700m BPO through lowsec recently, and had no trouble doing it at those times. Know the danger gates. And fly something that aligns fast and doesn't scream 'loot pinyata' wherever possible. I move small valuable things in assault frigates and tech 1 cruisers quite often - an Astarte or Bhaalgorn has 'Gank me for valuable loot' written all over it, the same just is not true of an Ishkur or a Vexor.

Chribba would probably congratulate them on a job well done, he congratulated the guys that made his T3 salvage-mobile suffer a sudden explosion.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

I'm willing to log on to give a go at the Veldnaught.

Just watch out for if you say his name three times in a mirror he shows up behind you >.>

It would sure be an awesome display of coordination and the biggest suicide done (someone better record it and hope the node doesn't die), so absolutely, I'd tip my hat and congratulate the group that does it for sure - it's a worthy way for Veldy to end.

No, we need to do this ourselves (that is, we, the players). Maybe we could get a Bombers Bar FC* to coordinate?


*They put together a wildly successful 80+ man Cruiser Roam last weekend - This would be a step up, but in the same direction.



Edit:
Oh, and can you imagine the Concord response to such a gank? Epic numbers of cops! They'd have to open a whole new station just to house the donut shop!

Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing.

I'm imagining the money one could make off the salvage and loots.

All of the salvage and loots.

Cool

I estimate using my guts that a minimum of 80 gank Talo's....with t2 guns/ammo/rigs/modules of course....would be necessary.

With perfect skills, obviously.



Everything in EVE is a trap.

And if it isn't, it's your job to make it a trap...:)

Better double that number, then. Blink
Plus, there needs to be a bumping fleet to prevent escape.
