Killboard slaughter

This killboard is the result of single T3 ship that roams around the region, enters a system, warps directly to the large asteroid cluster or high-end anomoly, uncloaks, points you and cynos in overwhelming numbers against you.

The only answer I can find to this is: dock up and go back to high sec. (i.e. clone jump to earn ISK in PVE)

Edit: To clarify the "go back to high sec" part.

"Someone is attacking me, my only option is to give up"

Yeah, If that's how think, hisec PvE might a better option for you... Or maybe WoW.

You could also try fighting back: Counter hot drop. Or if you cant get enough people in caps, maybe get a bunch of people in tornados and alpha him before the reinforcements arrive.

Sitting there and dying to him over and over seems a bit dumb

I haven't lost a single ship in the last four days, thanks. I'm not the one they're bothering. Even if the alliance I'm in has lost ships to them, i don't see any of them whining on the forums about it

I would unsubscribe if I were you. Only way to survive in this game.

Your original post is a whine post. If you come onto the forums to whine, and are surprised by everyone making fun of you, then you're just as much of a newbie as you were 8 years ago.

As for suggestions on dealing with this... Have you tried not mining / ratting when he's in system?

If it's a single TIII ship, why don't you warp off the moment he enters local?

(Oh wait, that would require paying attention to the game.)

It's not a whine post. It explains what action is being taken, links to killboard, asks for a counter. No mention of unfairness, or demands for nerfs.

In response to the OP, the only counters revolve around being prepared for what is relatively predictable behavior. Namely, identify and watchlist both the cyno pilots and the black ops pilots. Watch list is a very powerful tool. Identify the cyno droppers in your intel channels. If as you say, the guy is roaming throughout the region, you should be gone/safe before he even enters system. If he afks, you can tell how dangerous he is by seeing how many of his blops buddies are online.

You can also try to bait, which is could be very hard or very easy. Just get a bunch of damage ships in fleet, a few recons/ceptors for points, and be formed up and ready to go in station while you have your bait do an anomaly in a troll-tanked ship. The big difficulty is that since you appear to be in Provi-bloc, the chances of them sniffing out the trap with a spy is VERY high, so you'll need to take precautions. If they don't suspect a trap, you'll definitely get a bite as they seem to drop anything and everything. You only need to kill one or two to declare a victory. I don't know if quad plated battleships are still in vogue, but one would certainly last long enough for the cavalry to arrive (just have excess tacklers due to widow jams). You could also try baiting with a few skiffs, but I don't know as much about this (and using a skiff might be TOO obvious). Lastly, you can have some arazus and falcons already on the field, but you don't want to uncloak these too soon.

You can also try baiting with a ratting carrier with triage carrier on standby in a pos, the big thing here is keeping them locked down. I once had a friend get a little to scared and the traige carrier arrived wayy too soon and

Watchlists mean you can predict them coming, you don't have to wait around all day if you can see they're active and the cyno ship is hunting.

If you aren't in the position to organize a counter drop, then you just need to get better at dodging these guys.

Please post fit/tactics on how to win a 1v20.

If you have been playing Eve for 8 years and your only answer is to go back to high sec in order to sort this issue out then please do.

You really should know how to counter this T3 pilot without making it common knowledge on forums.
