You're clearly looking for a gank and not a fight. If you are in fact looking for a fight then I can tell you that one man indy corps aren't exactly your target audience. All that aside, leaving the system is generally a pretty solid bet.

tried that as soon as I come back into the system he docks up btw we are a one man indy corp also so I would say its a fair fight and not a gank

Well fair enough, if you have an out of corp alt you could always use it to create a warp in and catch your target with and inty.

When they think it's a fight they won't win, they will not undock. Some people will stay docked up for weeks or just stop playing until the war ends.

When you really want to get someone, gank. Forget about fairness. It's overrated.

Do you know who's going to inherit New Eden? Arms dealers. Because everyone else is too busy killing each other.

wardec = no pvp, no pve.

if you want to kill him, just suicide gank him without wardec.

Have you tried using an interceptor? You can usually get to the belt before they warp, unless they are pre-aligned.

But seriously, if you want more action, try war dec'ing a larger corporation.

Massive sandbox, OP. Did you really have nothing better to do?

OP should consider trying some other aspects of PvP. Or actually trying PvP in general.

The solution is simple

If you want proper pvp, stop being bad and stop trying to get it in high sec.

Hey Christy!

I love your face!
It's awesome!

*sips pepperming tea*

Assuming you have an alt.

If you know his favourite spot to mine,
log off there and have your alt wait.

This can take some time to work,
because he'll probably be afk most of the time.

As soon as you see him warp to that belt, log in again.

In case he might get away,
use your alt to bump him out of alignment to keep him from warping off.

This also works in case he's not in any predictable spot.
Stay logged off for however long it takes.

Have your alt bump him out of alignment.

Catch him with your pretty face.


Please note that while frigates work,
bigger and faster ships do harder bumps.

You might want to learn how to do it properly first,
because it can be a bit tricky.
Lots of ships out there to leran it on though.


Good luck!

First,

war decking one man indy corps isnt likely to result in many kills.

Second,

Selection of targets is everything in high sec war decs. These tend to be boring anyway by their very nature but if you want any action at all you need to either find a corp with many active members who continue to do things despite being under threat of war or you need to find targets that want to undock and fight you.

Finding corps with many active members is easier to do. But finding corps that want to undock and fight (especially ones who are bad and inexperienced at pvp) are the funnest wars you will have in high sec.

So how do you find these corps? When i used to do high sec wars for my corp (years ago now) i used to look for special types of targets. Other griefers of course were good for wars. Other corps of can flippers (yeah i know the game mechanics have changed now). But my all time favorite way to find a good fight was to find corps with cool military sounding names or whose members all have cool military sounding ranks. Virtually any corp with USMC Force Recon Delta Force Seal Team or other similar things in their name often turn out to be the kind of folks who will undock and fight you regardless of the odds and regardless of whether they really should be undocking to fight you.

Ultimately if you want ganks you war dec the corps with large numbers of members and go hunting. If you want fights look for corps where you think you can find a good fight.

Well once back when I was in Calmil I had this GalMil noob (even more so than me) holed up in a high-sec station. I waited right outside the station and said in chat: "Wow, who left all these hobgoblin II's out here? I wish I had the cargo space to collect them!" Not 10 seconds later he popped out of the station. Not like I killed him because I was a total noob with like 90 dps, but still, it might have worked if I was better pilot.

sounds a bit like a botter to me.

Get an alt with fraps running.

record how he is moving etc. etc.

bots have obv. patterns of movement and are usualy in a 1 man zero tax corp in empire space.


Fraps that ****. If he is a bot report him to CCP.

So you at least can really **** the dude off :p

Miners don't owe it to you to set themselves out in belts and let you shoot them all week because you spent a whole fifty million on a wardec.

I dont understand how mercenary corps can get away with litaroly working a corp over till everyone in the defendent corp quits playing. Wow, really accomplishing something there. Lets spend 50 thousand a week because we have nothing better and see how many subs we can make cancel because we're an idiot and dont like fair fights. Good way to to ruin it. My corp is now going on its forth war extention Sunday Im sure. We cant mine, cant haul, cant hardly go out of station or anything and people are dropping out like crazy. There not accomplishing anything except chasing people out of the game...
