this is not a post of me crying about how i got ganked and i hate all gankers and it shouldnt be allowed.

i understand even in HS you are not safe. things happen. but from where im sitting ganking has become somewhat of a problem. ganking is done for many reasons. some do it to get whats in your cargo hold. some do it to try and manipulate the market. some just want to get back at someone. but when ganking is done for no reason other than to get a kill mail its very anoying.

i recently econtered a group of gankers that said they were contracted to gank certain systems. when i asked them why they said it was to kill botters. their story was a load of bs. they even tried ransoming the system saying if you paid them they wouldnt gank you. i loled.

no i didnt pay them and i didnt even get ganked by them, i have never been ganked actually. im not stupid. but it does seem like gankers get off a little easy on the punisment side of things. so i thought of a few options.

1. increace the security status penalty. (mabe not such a good idea)
2 make it harder to work your security status back up.
3 concord pod kills gankers

i think options 2 and 3 would work well together and would make gankers think twice about ganking someone. there would be a couple things that would need to be worked out tho. like how to get concord to pod gankers and not ppl that just have low sec status.

i didnt say i had all the answers. mabe some of you have some ideas of how to penalize ganking a little more and not just make it impossible or unprofitalbe. your thoughts?

lol i wish it was that easy. gankers know thier ships are dead already so not giving them insurance isnt much of a punishment. tho it could be part of how to achive this. and again the goal shouldnt be to just make it unprofitable.

The goal is to deny players the ability to make money they want to?

No thanks.

what? that doesnt make sence. what r u saying

the goal is to make gankers think twice about who and why they are ganking, and stop gankers from ganking just for a kill mail becuase miners are usually the ones that suffer from it.

with the change on insurance it will eliminate 99% of people just killing people for no reason. the only reason now to gank is if the target has the possibility to drop more then the ships that are going to suicide.

i dont understand how it doesn't eliminate people just killing some one for a kill mail. unless you think people will throw away 35 million hurricanes or alpha apocs for zero return.
