Crime & Punishment

What the title says, a bunch of 1 month old npc toon alts in nados, choose target, one shot ANY target smaller than a freighter with 100k or even 150k EHP+ alpha, rinse repeat. It's a golden age for ganking! It's even become pretty much pandemic with everyone and their neighboors going at it.

LET'S ALL REJOICE!

Heck I think I may just try my hand at it too. XD

Cheers! :)

If you look at the eve-kill history for CONCORD Police Captain you will find that the number of ganks per month has been fairly constant since January 2013. The outlier is Aprils Burn Jita event. So ganking is not on the rise. If it has gotten easier, it certainly hasn't gotten more common.

So show us on the doll where those mean Tornados touched you. A special snowflake like you shouldn't have their pod... I mean gameplay emerged. Surely someone, no one is expecting you to do it, will punish those bad men.

I'm looking.. trying to find one accurate statement in what you wrote. Its really pretty hard, but I think this is the only one, "Im watching brand new people get introduced to ganking and awoxing." Every other sentence has at least one inaccuracy. Nice work, but go for 100% next time.

Easy solution would be if you're neg-enough to be un-wanted in that space, you shouldn't be able to dock either.

Dude? Are we playing the same game?


Do you even Eve bro?

You don't even have to stargate mission running battleships, nor does your mission battleship have to enter and exit the mission hub itself (which makes it very hard for gankers to ship scan it to know you run deadspace or officer), and even if you do stargate mission ships AND fly it to the mission hub station there is no reason that a marauder can't leave the hub with 200k passive ehp, and refit off a mobile depot at the encounter (after fighting the first 60 seconds passive fit), and the end of most mission pockets are amenable to having a mobile depot ready to go before you finish.

If you don't show up at the mission hub, nor at the stargate, then people actually have to scan YOU down, and come to you, which means nobody will have a shipscan of what you are fitted with, you'll probably be sitting on a mobile depot anyway, and can refit to ungankable, or you may well be 100km away from the beacon and thus able to leave on people entering your mission pocket (even if you didn't see probes/approach on d-scan). The longer a mission you are in a mission, the deeper you are in, the longer dps ships are on short range scan.

Cargo 10k and less can go in a viator. Cargo that can fit in an orca can be protected by 260k +ehp, freighters should be only be taking the bulk portion of a load. Orcas can MWD/cloak trick too, which means people don't get time to think about it or organise a gang.

Some load profiles may suit the EHP of a jump freighter, or a jump freighter route and jump into low might be actually be safer than the usual chokes in a freighter.

The proteus will also carry a moderate sized load behind absurd EHP with a covops cloak, so even people that fail at undocking mechanisms have an option for carrying valuable stuff (a proteus in motion vs a tornado is never going to take full damage unless its flying directly at them) .

Lastly, its pretty damn hard to actually lock and stop an align fitted ceptor, and they move so fast that people cannot setup in time in front of them.

ie game is full of survival tools, just use them.

Welcome to 2012.....

I was wondering the same thing, unless of course after all this time he still hasn't figured out how to make enough isk to afford a medical clone.

actually people say "if this became easier why we don't have more people doing this?"

data you provided shows: people DO ganking 2x more than in previous year.

Wait did they bring back the ability for kestrels to fit a cruise missile in standard launchers... I thought that was the golden age of suicide ganking.
