There is profit to be made in that gank. Modulated deep core miners aren't cheap.

For some reason I get "It's a bad ship" message from this. I was looking forward to flying it someday, but now...

Rokh is a fine ship. Lots of times underrated.

Bit more on topic tho,
Battleships can be ganked aswell. Any ship can. I think the idea to that is it would take a bit more effort then blowing up a hulk or machinaw. And I'm all for making them oppertunistic suicidegankers break a bit more of a sweat over a kill. There's just no sense in making it easy for em.

But that said there is plenty of things you can do to make it difficult for em to pop your hulk or mackinaw aswell.

The biggest obstacle you'll encounter doing anything is yourself.

Given that even freighters are not immune from being ganked it is possible that your battle ship will be ganked. How ever I see this event as improbable, but don't quote me on that.

Mine in a Damnation with a Legion to boost you.

900k EHP. Nobody will ever gank you. You're a freaking structure bash in a ship. You are more than 3 Max Tanked Orcas worth of EHP. (Get an Erebus to boost you as well, and you get over 1m EHP)

I think there's a small problem with that... But that would be worth all lulz.

Getting enough gank to kill a battleship like the Rokh ain't cheap either :)
I'd certainly give an A for effort to anyone who tried.

Even Rokh can be ganked.

This is true. The ONLY real way to never be suicide ganked again is to quit EvE. But that would be no fun.

Don't underestimate the desire to gank someone to prove a point. Nothing is safe.



Another Troll from the lady here.

It's not a Rokh herpa derpa.


No, it has significantly more EHP.

It also took 1/3rd as many pilots to kill as your example of a gank that probably costed more than it killed Roll.

Don't undock would be my advice to be absolutely sure of not getting ganked, if a group wants to gank you they will just for the lulz. Blink

Ice and battleships don't mix.

Abaddon on the rocks might make a good drink, but not a good strategy.

Actually Europeans had pretty good teeth. Not much sugar in the diet.
