hm, this seems like an interesting puzzle. Unlike the hulk/mackinaw bot operations we've seen on this scale, procurers are extremely cost ineffective to gank.(9 t1 catalysts, 4-5 t2 to gank assuming they're tanked properly). I don't have the numbers for smartbombing BS's, but if the operation requires more than 2 to take out thats a net loss. The procurers total about 450m at 15m a piece, I'm assuming 200m for a pipebomb. He can replace the freighter in a little over 2 hours unless his fleet is destroyed. To do any significant damage, both the mining fleet and the freighter need to drop. If anyone wants to organize an op, send me a mail, I can bring some dps.

Osmon has three ice belts, once they spawn it takes literally hours to mine them, so everyone gets their fair share of ice. Not anymore. Recently Osmon received huge 30+ Procurer barge vacuum cleaner armada, that bot is online 24/7, takes him less than an hour to empty all Ice belts, depriving all the ice miners of their shares of ice. CCP seems not to notice the problem.
Bot armada has Fenrir freighter ploted by Luckysentry and is protected by a Stabber cruiser piloted by Matthew Decker.

Since problem is ignored, I am offering to pitch in 40 mil isk to a group of mercenaries to get rid of that insolent greedy problem, bunch of other Osmon miners are also willing to contribute financially.

Name of the game is attrition, freighters are very expensive to replace, once you kill enough of them, that insolent exploiter will leave Osmon for good.


Are they in a player corp or NPC corp? If its wardeccable just contact our corp and we might do it by the cost of the war dec only if they are so easy to find.



I believe Procurers are all NPC corp members actually. Procurer pilots dont have surnames, only firstnames. All are less than two weeks old.


CCP does not allow the use of multi-boxing software with trial accounts. If you can prove he's using trial accounts, report him.

Some of your available options:

1) Smartbomb the procurer fleet or target the freighter.
2) Make a thread, instill rage on fellow Osmon miners, get them to contribute to the "mercenary pot" and walk away with it.


3) Both of the above...

Let me get this right: a multi-boxer is basically mining whole belts in record time precisely because of multi-boxing, leaving other players in the dust ?

Multi-boxing can be Pay To Win in PvP games, who is surprised by the event ?
Blam Plex and CCP.

And with 30 or so simultaneously logged accounts I doubt the guy is not a bunch of bots.


EDIT:Or it could be a scam by the OP to remove competition.
Good tactic, but for the petty 40 millions.

Hell, I've never done anything like it but I'd be willing to join in. I hate ganking, and yet I hate people who do this kind of thing even more.

Procurers, balanced

Retreievers: needs more tank.

Gankers: needs to be nerfed

Dont matter that multiboxer is online 24/7.


What I'm really interested in is how you know he's on 24/7? Is there something you're not telling us here? Has the multiboxer cut in to your RMT botting profits?

You can't train barges at all on trial accounts - I guess CCP had problems with minerbots on new accounts in the past.

I don't think so, otherwise someone would have posted.

You know what would fix this?

Cargo hold ore/ice siphons.


Instead of making mining a "mini game", as was done to hacking and analyzing, let the players be the mini game.



I think a siphon high slot module would be a better idea. Big smile

To protect your cargo hold, a low slot module would need to be fitted instead of MLU/IHU's.





If that's the case, then both the miner and the siphoner have a head-to-head FPS mini game where the siphoner sends troops to haul out the cargo (the "ammo" for the high slot siphoner) and the miner has to shoot them by controlling his own security or internal robots.

If the miner is AFK then hey, the siphoner can run about dropping his sack on everything and run off with all the ore.

C'mon, who could be bothered by this idea? Where's my Picard Make it so poster?

What I see is CCP collecting 30+ subscription fees. Good luck with that.
