I am pleased to inform you that killrights are not necessary to intervene with our operations.

I hope you find this information helpful. I look forward to seeing you soon in the tradelanes!

Ironically this guy and his 12 clones blew me up too last night (and destroyed my implants, I guess out of spite). Its like Jake Kusion, Justin Kusion, Joel Kusion, Jeremiah Kusion, etc, etc. More -10 tards than in one of those incestuous families in West Virginia.

I was trying to figure out the math of this. He only got about 300 million in stuff off me, because most of the good stuff got destroyed, but I noticed from his killboard he has destroyed some 8 billion ISK freighters, not even sure how he collects those, another account with a freighter? So, let's say he averages 500 million per gank, then he only needs to gank about 30 high value ships per month to fund his 12-15 accounts, which is 1 per night, and checking the killboard again we see he is killing like 20 ships on some nights, so it looks pretty profitable.

I think he must have yet another account which does nothing but make Thrashers.

I'm guessing that there's a 'neutral' hauler involved to scavenge the chunky bits left over. There are others who make the Thrashers, I'm sure. Even the implant destruction has an impact on the economy, as it drives up the demand for them. Cycle of life, yo. I'd have all sorts of rad insights on this crap if only I knew anyone who sold weed anymore. Ganking is a pretty legit playstyle in my book, even though I generally dont indulge in it. Money to be made, tears to be harvested, and most importantly it keeps crap from getting too damned boring in high sec.

Come hell or high water, this sick world will know I was here.

Have you tried bulkheading your freighter and keeping cargo value low (below 1 billion).

To be fair, I understand the OP point. There really isn't a lot risked in High Sec ganking compared to the ships that are getting ganked. The gankers lose what a destroyer? A rookie ship? Most of the ships that CONCORD destroys according to their zkillboard page are pretty small.

There are ways that as players we can mitigate the risks of getting ganked on our own.

I regularly review the CONCORD zkillboard page and add the Alliances and Corporations whose players get destroyed in High Sec. I have 50 to 60 Alliances and Corporations with Terrible Standing. I watch Local, when players enter that have the little red box with the white tick mark in the middle, I dock up at a station and wait for them to leave.

I also randomly look at players in Local, especially, if I am traveling long distances for an escalated unrated DED site, and add players that have a negative security standing to my contacts list with Terrible Standing as well. I added a guy just the other night with a -9.7 security standing. He was a hunter and was out looking for prey.

Personally, I would like to see gankers lose something more than a little security standing and a T1 destroyer, but, yeah, its part of the game and we just need to learn to adapt to it and mitigate the risks as best we can.

It sounds plausible enough tonight, but wait until tomorrow. Wait for the common sense of the morning.

Let's see...

  1. Drop in sec status that ultimately results in a permanent criminal status. This means they're always vulnerable to attack and can never loiter.
  2. Killrights that can be make public for whatever price the victim chooses to set
  3. Destruction of their ship
  4. Loss of any insurance payment
  5. 15 minutes in the penalty box, where CONCORD will shoot them for being in space in anything but a pod.


That's actually quite a lot of penalty.

On a side note, an alt of mine got shot by a member of CODE not too long ago (the gank failed, my alt runs a troll tank that looks shitfit but isn't). I set the killright to 315, because that's what it should always be.

This I can kind of support. I'm not a huge fan of ganking noobs. I'd rather see CODE. self-impose a rule that a character has to be a certain age before they're a gank target, or at give them a few warnings so they can understand the expectation prior to losing their first ship unexpectedly.

Yes, because what Eve really needs is alternate routes so that we have to interact with each other even less.

Dude, you have no idea how much fun it can be. I got to ride Psychotic Monk's coattails into our 15 minutes of notoriety, and it was a blast. I doubt we ever achieved 30k enraged players, but enraging the entire incursion community at its zenith made for a lot of free publicity and still yields occasional "omg it's Floppie!" comments in local.

the problem is that they don't get enought penalties doing that compared to the amount of money peoples lost when piloting a freighter and the amount of money CODE and other corp gain doing this .

the second problem is : kill rights
the kill rights are by far too expensive , we need to be able to punish them for cheap

some peoples begin the game and get ganked by these kind of corporations .

1 : they have no money and want to play the game an progress .
2 : some peoples feel miserable because of this situation and are not willing to stay enough in the game because of that .
3 : by making a better environnement , i'm sure more beginners will stay .


please CCP :

steps to make :

1 : lower the kill rights cost or make it no cost (or make a cost cap )
2 : lower the kill right cost for a particular pirat each time the same pirat kill someone in high sec .
3 : make a system looking if a high sec system is constantly under pirat attack (of the same persons) and make that CONCORD roam in large fleets in all the system after let say 30 min of repetitive attack of same pirat persons in high sec .
4 :(optionnal) (don't know if possible) limit the number of client possible running from the same IP adress
this can prevent a high sec system lock
5 : make another high sec route around uedama and sivala (gank point) so the traffic can be derived to another route if needed and not making 40 jumps .

it is unacceptable that a SINGLE person can lock out a system with 12 accounts .
we are 30000 players live and we got annoyed by 1 man with 12 accounts .
i know a lot of peoples who say same as me .

gank will still exist , but in a limited way than it is actually .

thanks . viewing my feedback .

A whole complete system? Leaving you barely 1200 other highsec systems to do stuff in?

I've gone hunting for multi-billion isk ratting ships in nullsec with bombers and T1 cruisers. Any time one party is prepared for PVP while the other is not, isk value is irrelevant. There SHOULD be a disparity in cost here, because one ship is purpose-built to kill and the other is not.

This is just...amazing. You invest a lot of time and effort into avoiding people who 99.99% of the time have no idea you even exist. And their mere presence in local is enough to put you to station.

So tank properly, don't afk in lower-security space, and generally make yourself as unpalatable a target as you can.

More to the point: I really want to understand how 12 accounts locked the system. Could he not jump through the gate? Or does "locked down" mean "ganked someone, making the system too scary for me to go through"

It really doesn't take that much time...I like to browse zkillboard anyways for the comments and vids, they are fun to read and watch. And that's 50 to 60 Alliances and Corporations since 2009; although, I've added probably 10 or so since I returned in October.

And, since I've been back in October, I've only docked up twice, to be entirely fair. I like to play in remote off the beaten path systems where there is only one or two other people in the system at the same time as myself.

I don't mine and don't play AFK, but this is excellent advice whether you are mining, running a mission, or exploring, in general, actually.

first :yes locked , because , the point is that is a "forced " passage if we want to go jita which is the hearth of the economy
second : i don't cry .
third : the 12 accounts are easily resubscribed with the loots from killed ships
four : simply as this : there is an unbalance between organized gankers risk and gain (even without the 12 accounts in one)
five : the 12 accounts/one person is unfair and unbalanced for the "normal" players (that play one or two accounts )

that said , i put myself in the gankers point of and i understand gankers point of view , i see that they had fun doing this it was a nice evening in the ganker side:


if some peoples want to gank in high sec it is permited and game mechanics are what they are. and it is good that that exist , it add freedom to do that kind of thing .
but a 12 account gank fleet piloted by 1 person only is where things are not right and just .
