Crime & Punishment

During my short time Anti-ganking I have been using sniper Ships , to pick gankers off, fast locking frig to pull Ships out of fleets and scout, this time I made myself a Blackbird

So my 1st evening of ew had mixed results

First the part I had fun with, a freighter in Uedama bumped off gate, very large number of Anti-gankers of all types there to help, code undocked but hit a secondary target, too many of us put them off I suppose.

Now the wait for the timer but the freighter protection fleet numbers had start to drop, gank number going up they undock and hit our freighter
Not sure on numbers but it was large, they sure wanted this ship, I had used race jamers for the cata so they should have been my target but the fleet had a large number of amarr bombers in its make up, loyalonan was one of the 1st to land but I had the wrong jammers for her ship, I crossed my fingers and went for it

It worked, one bomber not adding it's dps, I them locked up 3 catas to jam next cycle, not sure how many of these I locked down but thing started to get hot, the AG Blackbird I was close to went pop then I was locked by about 3 gankers, I locked one back and got a jam in (by this time the freighter was dead I think) lucky for me my ship was armor tanked, Shields went down fast but armor held, I started to lose locks as the gank fleet was destroyed, then it was the dance of the haulers trying to loot the wreckages, small Ships running around looting what ever, it's strange to watch then at the end the salvagers turn up, come along sometime and see for yourself, think we need David Attenborough here to do a documentary on ship hunting hehe.

So what did I do wrong and right, well with the number they had the freighter was lost, I looked at the kill board to work out if jamming the bomber worked, loyalonan was right at the lower end of the kb with the T1 cata's, so yes it cut damage down.

I know a black bird will always be at risk in pvp more than most Ships but as myself and the black bird I was close to got targeted before the gankers got their kill, it shows we was a worry and need to be stopped, or maybe loyalonan had a hissy fit as she could not fire and told the fleet to kill us

Anyway a fun evening, I think more skills are needed and a lot more practice

One thing, why do gank members kill each other after their target is down, two of the cata's I had jammed ended up being killed by code, is it just kb padding

I'm no gank experts, but why arent anti gankers using 2 newbie chars to defend freighters ? Have one of your chars sit next to the freighter being bumped and have the second char gank the first char the moment you see the CODE fleet warp to the frieghter. Wont Concord be already there when they arrive and kill them all ?

Have a few more guys do that and you wont even see the freighter, as its surrounded by Concord.

No worries about killrights, as both are your own chars and security status you fix with tags.

Just a thought. Would probably work better then reps, dps or ECM.

Yeh, but then the bumper gets a kill right on you. If you do it my way, you have one on yourself. So no big deal And if its numbers, then just have a few guys doing it. It should not be easy or ganking would become boring and AG OP, but if you work hard for it, you should be able to counter it.

Ganking and AG should both be hard work .... result, profit or victory !

What a great idea Tora. You earned your place up there with the great anti-ganker leaders, like DrisonBenningthon and JTClone Ares. Maybe they let you use their highsec jumpbridge network if you ask nicely.

OP, are you the same person as Spacepeanut Udan? If so, why haven't you answered my reply to your earlier plea for help?

No lying now.... you AG types are honorable and stuff.

Our high sec jumpbridge network is for AG use only sorry,

Good question, at first it was belittle ever thing I did, then strange alts would try to find out my main, they would even talk to me in local, now the chat has stopped, they don't comment on my post that often now, I take this as a good sign

My AG work is effective, I have got people involved and doing stuff and things will change, both sides have spies but so what, you keep your main safe and do stuff or don't that's it really

One thing I must say, remember what these people are capable of, they have had so many permanent ban player, say a lot don't you think.

Good on you for experimenting and asking for advice. That's what emergent gameplay is all about. I've no specific advice for you, just encouragement to keep pushing the envelope so that CODE. will do the same thing. Conflict fuels innovation.
