Crime & Punishment

Hello,

I am looking to join a team or corp focused on small scale hisec ganking, with the exception of freighters. I am experienced and can offer 2 toons: a scanner and a looter. I also have a ganker but it requires activation on a third account. Ideally if you can fly a vexor or a rupture with gank fit, I can scan for you and loot for us. Or I can activate my ganker account. Whatever works.

I am looking to relive the thrill of this experience after 2 years of absence from eve. My old teammates are no longer playing. Partnering up with someone interested will make things much more fun and efficient. I can offer training for interested newbies.

Thanks

Good luck OP. Give 'em hell.

No one gets out alive!

Join CODE.

Job done.

We take gankers, not looters
Bonus points if you manage to get mercs to dec because of some forum real talk XD

so let me ask the age old question :)

How is it fun to gang high sec delvers beyond the first few attack?
I mean it's a bit like shooting fish in a barrel, you jump in, pewpew, die to concord. rinse, repeat. no challenge or risk to make it fun

Ahh, the. Simple pleasures in life. :)

For some it's mastering the equation for profitability. You have to balance dps (ships and fits) vs the expected drop.


For instance do I go for the full caldary navy fit raven or do go for that kronos w/ the 2 purple mods??? The raven provides for a lower payout, but some guaranteed income. The kronos has the seduction of a sweet payout if the loot fair drops her panties just right. You have 6 tier three gank cruisers.... you make the call.

If you get to the point as a scout, that, at the end of 4 hours (1 mission cupcake gank per hour) you can always show your boys a profit - that feels good. It's not easy and tbh, some days the loot fair just won't give up her honey. This style of ganking does have it's entertainment value.



NOW, the code style hoo haw. It's just awful. Not morally (because wtfizdat in Eve), but content and funnability - it's just junk game play. Gank cat vs. miner hull 600 is pretty much like living on crackers and water. That's why they are deep immersion role players. The actual game play sux soooooooooo much, they get their fun jousting at relevancy on the forums and making up embarrassing web pages. I mean, just wait and see. Some code ninny will pounce on this post with 3 tons of role play rhetoric, chest beating over a cause normal players don't have the time to understand or maybe just call me a name. It's coming and calling the shot like I am right now won't deter them. It's the deep immersion role play - that's all they really have.


Freighter/hauler ganking - that's just a simple scan and simple numbers crunching. It's a job. A means to an end. Wonk fluffy hauler - get loot - repeat. In my opinion it's the blue color man at his best. Working the land and bringing home the bacon for his family. No shame, no glory and no role play. Good wholesome Eve-ery.


So there you have it. For some it's a challenge. Some it's about the role play. Others it's just good honest earning in a space ship. These are the general reasons. I am confident there are many more.


I'll ask you, where is the fun in running Angel's Extravaganza or any other mission for the 100th time? It's not like there aren't 40+ easily googled guides to explain to even the most incompetent player how to get through it. It's all relative dude.

Oh there are always new challenges. But mostly the satisfaction comes from accomplishing something as a team. That, and the entertaining ways people react to getting ganked.

Look at it this way, ganking somebody is kind of like picking a random EVE player, and then giving them a firm handshake and a "how do you do." A very firm and completely unexpected handshake. The fun comes from the way your relationship develops afterwards. Fundamentally, gankers are just folks who have a deep love for all mankind and want to share that love with their fellow players...in antimatter form.
