You're way out of date, I was unbanned pretty much immediately after the Summer of Rage.

Wow I must have always missed you then...

Your cute face is awesome! Especially considering the fact that you
were responsible for the slaughter of thousands of mining ships! :D

The best thing about this topic is that my contacts/standings list is getting full.

I've got a huge list of people that I want nothing to do with because they're absolutely clueless and/ or carebears, and another of people who are the exact opposite, gankers and bears alike.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

At least not in a way that's approved by CCP.

Damn, how awesome would that be! :O

Flying along a trade route without backup is always a risk. Had my heart pumping when I flew my alt through Aufay with 750mil in the hold. Good thing the tank of the new DSTs isn't easily estimated, makes a gank attempt riskier, thus less likely.


Lol, no offence but how do you see "back up" gonna work out in anyway in a S-Gank ?

This thread was cute for the first month. Now I'm tired of seeing it on my screen. Time to bribe a dev or ISD (does ISK work on them?) to lock it. If that doesn't work, there's always a chrome extension or greasemonkey script.

Ah, you should be careful about sweeping generalities. What about miners? I've taken the precaution of changing to a Procurer (exchanging greed for tank), and for a very long time I have not been ganked (there always seems to be a tasty Retriever or two in the field).

However, I am not invulnerable, and should a gank team choose to expend sufficient isk in Catalysts (et al) then they could toast my butt too.

How is this my fault? I have no means whatsoever to fight back. The squad need only do a little math to figure what they need and send sufficient DPS, and it is a foregone conclusion.

Where have I failed?

By being afk enough to let gank ships land on you in the 1st place (watching50,000 km D-scan works, I have avoided 2 attempted ganks of my mission Machariel using it).. Catalysts can't warp cloaked lol.

I personally have no problem with undertanked and autopiloted ships getting ganked; stupid people deserve to watch their assets be incinerated. What I do object to vociferously is what I witnessed last night during a "Code enforcement" operation in Uedama. Specifically, an Orca warped into the system, and was bumped off its align by a Machariel and an Omen Navy issue. A bevy of gankers arrived for the kill....and got it down to 20% structure before Concord showed up. A well tanked Orca surviving a gank, "yawn" I already hear you saying.

The disturbing part is what happens next....as the gankers go to dock to wait out their 15 minutes aggression timer, the bumping continues, without any intervention by Concord. Precisely 15 minutes later the EXACT SAME gankers come and blow up the Orca. What kind of police force would release attempted murderers after 15 minutes so they could finish the job? And why on earth is bumping ships off their align in highsec, when clearly done to facilitate ganking, not a criminal actvity? To the extent that CCP won't criminalize bumping in highsec (with perhaps a 1 minute warning so as not to capture accidental bumping), certainly a Concord gank response should include a 1 minute pause on bumping the gank victim. Otherwise we will continue to see absurd results like the above.
