Warfare & Tactics

Dryson, if you want to fight CODE, ignore them.

Lack of relevance is their greatest fear.

I don't come to the forums often...but when I do it's because I saw some dumb crap like this.......

If we were a for-profit institution, we'd care more. Blow up the wrecks if you want! :)

Just make sure you don't recycle the alt when your sec status gets too low- that's against the EULA!

the called the CODE Swarm

Tactic name suspect. Would not employ.

I'll leak some OP-Sec information. We use the flying-V. Here is a video of it.

Thats pretty special right there.

From what I can tell 95% of the CODE kill rely on a combination of

1) abusive bumping to prevent ships from warping off, which really should carry a CONCORD response

and

2) the lack of real consequences for -10 sec status gankers which lets them be career criminals without any real punishment other than a 15 minute timeout.

Fix those up and CODE will slowly disappear (more so than it already is).

Wait, are CODE even a thing outside of high-sec rookie systems? They're not?

Okay, nevermind then.

Why do I miss all the good rants?

Oh wait, it must be because I'm busy DDOS-ing someone with a forum link.



1. Bumping is not abusive, harassment, or in any way violating the EULA unless it is persistent against a single target for a prolonged period of time. Like, days or weeks. Bumping a target that happens to jump into a system that you're suicide ganking freighters in does not qualify.

2. So denying them quite possibly every other hisec activity that involves undocking isn't "real punishment"? What more would you have CCP do to them?


Also, you're underestimating the amount of coordination and logistics that must be done properly in order to pull these ganks off. You try getting 30-ish pilots to fly in an organized manner, fit their ship properly, and keep them supplied and shipped when they can't undock without risking getting shot at for hours at a time. You can bash what they do all you want, but nobody really has any ground to bash the skill with which they do it.


You do know that Freighters have 1 CPU, right?

Addressing #1: No it's not, see the massive thread about it that spun out of control. But no it's not. Bumping happens, intentional or not. It's part of EVE. There are always ways to avoid bumping if the player is smart, oh at keyboard.

Addressing #2: So the fact that at -10 one can not spend any legitimate amount of time in High Sec without being aggressed by a police force is not enough? I mean you even stated that there is a 15min timer for a cool down that is already in place.

If you really understood the sheer logistic fortitude, planning, and communications that is needed for a gank, you would be impressed. It's far more complicated than you make it out to be, and is exponentially more so on larger targets. You disagree with basic game mechanisms that have been in place for years, and want to change them completely. I can do that as well! I suggest that all stations in HS are removed (aside from trade hubs like Jita because you know... Jita.) And move all agents and what not out of HS. Because you see then there would be all these wonderful things and stuff would happen. Frolics within space meadows! See how that sounds, because that is basically what you are suggesting. Please continue to post, it provides me with smiles.
