EVE New Citizens Q&A

Hi,

I need some advice on wartargets in eve and how experienced empire wardeccers chase down targets that constantly leave there corps.

We recently Decced a corp of 18 people and they have, in the last 16 hours or so, left there corporation (or are doing) in to similar named corps that obviously exist to avoid the wardec with us, or anyone else for that matter.

Aside from an aggressive campaign of suicide ganking and bumping the targets no matter where these EVE hard men run to i can't really think of anything else we can do. It's unfortunate that we cannot afford to dec every single corp they run to, which we would be prepared to do.

These people reap the benefits of a corporation but successfully avoid any of the downsides, a sure avoidance of the Risk Vs Reward nature of eve

Be sure that this is the char I intend to fight with and to corporation in question is HC - Sinindustries, not to be confused with HC - Sinindustry, which they are moving to.

Cheers for any help!

You'll get many helpful, not-so-helpful, and always entertaining answers by posting your questions about wardecs in the Crime and Punishment section. Those guys are the experts.

Trudeaux Margaret - Thanks for the info - I would have put it there but Trial accounts can post outside of this forum. Since I'm new and it is a question i guess it should go here.

Lan Wang - It's cool that you want to contribute but these eve hard men threatening a lowly 12 day old char like my self then running away from the flow up wardec. I'm not sure what other criteria a dec should have other than 'reason'.

Unlike Most empire wars, The kind that obviously make you upset, i have a reason to shoot these people and it's not like you can say I'm bullying them. I'd be quite happy to deal with the down sides of being in my corp.

I don't think they are as badassed as they sound either trust me, all mouth in local, seems they've got no trousers too.

But circumstances aside, there any advice on this or is it simply a case of having a billion isk to dec all the corps they might run to until they run out of Hogs Collective corps?

Sadly, you have revealed your lack of experience in these matters. I started running aggressive solo wardecs with this character when he was 2 days old. It was quite common for defenders to talk tough when wardecced by such a newbie only to roll their corp and evade the wardec, or to spend the war cowering in station while I camped them in with my meta fit Slasher. So OP's experience is actually quite typical. Never underestimate the sheer naked panic of the highsec carebear under wardec.

@OP you will drive yourself nuts trying to chase after wardec evaders. It will affect your fun/hour ratio if you allow it to. Take my advice and just let them go and find a better target. They will have to live with the shame of what they have done - let that be enough.

Well I'll happily steal/destroy ore in space until the money is equaled, or, resort to suicide ganking. Funny that that's basically the only options.

Would rather had a proper fight though.

This is certainly not a new player question. Your character may be young but my guess is that you are using the trial account system to stretch the limits of the risk versus reward balance in your own favor and whining about someone else doing something similar.

Arguments could be made that the risk versus reward balance in high sec is far too tilted towards wardec griefers and gankers.

Regardless of the balance or lack there of in regards to high sec risk versus reward I liken this to people that whine about docking games and to them I say then don't engage people on station. Make them fight somewhere else.

So more specifically to this situation I can say that if you don't like what you are getting from the high sec war dec mechanics then move to null or low sec. I guarantee you won't have the same issue there.

And just to restate what has been said already by others this is the NC Q&A. I know that New Character is in the name but my assumption is that this section of the forums is reserved for new players with newbie questions. It is a safe haven from new players IMHO and attempts are made to keep it free of trolling.

Don't be such a ****. My post was not meant to troll anyone, but to answer the OP's question and respond to one of the other comments from my own experience. I myself was running offensive wardecs when I was a new player, so don't be so quick to judge OP or others in his situation. Wardeccing in highsec is a fun and rewarding playstyle for players of all ages, and there is no reason that someone should not ask questions about it in NCQA.

there is no workaround, simply if the player does not want to fight you then you have to suicide

OP, I would be inclined to turn your attentions towards ergherhdfgh...if only, that is, they weren't hiding behind an NPC posting alt.
