Looks like someone doesn't know how aggression mechanics work in hisec. Do you know what happens when that Orca pilot loots from yellow wreck?

If killing Basi is so difficult then how nullbears are able do it in nullsec?

1) Do you know who owns the wreck of your ship when you die?
"When players are killed, any containers dropped from their ship are still owned by them. The same goes for the wreck that once was their ship."

2) By not moving goalposts. We're talking about HS here.

Do you ever tire of being wrong every time you post?

"Stealing from a Container or Wreck

When you attempt to take or move items from containers or wrecks in Empire Space, it may result in you being criminally flagged to other players. Whether you get criminally flagged and who you get criminally flagged to depends on who owns the container/wreck and whether, if you're not the owner, you have an implicit right to take from it. This criminal flag lasts for 15 minutes."

From same article.

Player who created the wreck owns it.

And either way, you salvage in one cycle and flip the can.

Once the can is flipped, ask anyone from TEARS or a like corp how hard it is to kill an orca and basi.

Good for you. The scenario you commented on was still a different one than the one you used. That is you moving the goalposts.

Quote:
1. Any solo hulk can be ganked.
…but only if you don't do it for profit.
Quote:
2. I can gank a 20,000EHP hulk easily with 3 attackers, netting an average profit of 20 million ISK not including the modules dropped by the destroyers.

Therefore, it is safe to say that I can gank a 40,000EHP hulk with 6 characters and make profit while doing so.
…and it's equally safe to say that the “profit” is so small at that point to make it unprofitable to do so rather than go after the weaker target (which was the point all along). And no, it's not actually safe to say so to begin with since the net profit for doing it with three characters is left unmentioned (unless you've chosen to move the goalposts again).

Quote:
on a parting note...if EFT says it can be done....

WHY THE **** ARE YOU ARGUING ABOUT IT?
Because you're making stuff up as you go and constantly changing the parameters rather than sticking to what's actually being said. I'm arguing against you dishonesty and fallacious reasoning.

…if it's an NPC wreck. Otherwise, it belongs to whomever got blown up by the player that got ganked. This just leaves the question of why you quoted the bit you quoted when it did nothing to contradict Ruby's statement.

more than 5 quotes


The scenario I have been commenting on the whole time is exactly the same, ganking hulks without error. I mentioned that before you ever replied to me, so if you were talking about anything else YOU changed the scenario. You can make up any hypothetical you want, but I am telling you as it stands you can make a plex ganking hulks, and even if I ganked hulks with 40kEHP, I could still do it.

Arguing to me that its not profitable enough is your thing. I honestly think anyone who spent the time to train orca to all 5, hulk to all 5, and basi can make a hell of a lot more than 25ish mil an hour on a 3 way split. I spent way less time training 3 mission running toons and can easily clear 3x what the mining fleet you are hypothesizing makes without ever leaving hisec. The miners are not doing it because its the most proft they can make, they are doing it because THEY WANT TO. I also mine BECAUSE I WANT TO. I also gank miners BECAUSE I WANT TO. I can run incursions for 1 hour and gank for many hours afterwards before the miners catch up.

Anyway, I look forward to the day when I see your little hypotheticals out there in new eden. I will mail you the KM persoanlly. Until then I'll keep fighting the good fight and killing these bastard miners.

No. The scenario you have been using in your comments has been whatever you were replying to, altered to suit your point. If you're going to comment on something others say, comment on what they say and not on something else. If I say that, “in scenario A, we have situation X,” and you “counter” that by saying that “nu-uh, in scenario B, we have situation Y”, then you haven't actually addressed the point being made.

Quote:

It's not a hypothetical. It's using your own numbers: you need about 540 of those 40k Hulks killed in a month to get a PLEX. That's 18 a day or somewhere between 5 and 9 hours (not including the any potential time to get sec status back up, if you're worried about such things). That's why you're going after the easy ones instead (and trust me, the hard targets are out there, but they never show up in these thread for some odd reason… Blink)

Quote:

Well, the argument is really that it shouldn't be a 3-way split, but rather an amortisation across maybe 10 miners.

Quote:

I wouldn't worry. We both know that the average forum miners are incapable of protecting themselves, even with all the means at their disposal. After all, that's the entire point of these threads: that there are a fuckton of tactics and techniques available, but that they ignore them all and just declare the whole thing impossible and broken out of hand and instead cry that CCP has to solve their poor decision-making.

…and as mentioned: the reason for those more extreme builds is that they illustrate the ability to counter the extreme scenarios that the whiners come up with. They are as hypothetical as the treats levied against them, showing that the game mechanics cut both ways.

It's worked before. Never compromise when you can just die until someone fixes things for you.

You're just making **** up now. I already said I scan them with a neutral alt and look for the hole, multiple times.

So… I'm making **** up by saying that you're doing what you just said you're doing (and what you've said on multiple occasions before that you're doing). Ugh

Nope. From the paragraph right below the one you quoted, since you don't appear to be able to read a full article before your head injury kicks in (see a Doctor, I honestly worry):

Quote:
Who owns what, and when

Who gets ownership of containers/wrecks depends on the situation. The possible circumstances are as follows:

1) When an NPC is killed by a player, the player who did the most damage to it gets ownership of any loot containers that may drop and of the wreck left behind by that NPC.
2) When players are killed, any containers dropped from their ship are still owned by them. The same goes for the wreck that once was their ship.

The Orca is right there and well positioned to look their friend's wreck immediately. With a tanked Hulk, they only have to successfully steal your loot once every 10-15 times to make you operate at a sure loss. So if you flip it first, NBD, they just don't hit "Yes" on the popup and warp off.

You said that the Hulks you gank have up to 20k EHP tanks. Those are not the Hulk fits we are talking about.

You don't need to be intentionally doing so to end up doing so.

You are going after the easy ones because the smart ones (that are hard to gank) are likely to be gone by the time you're ready to shoot them, since you give advanced warning by drawing CONCORD.

It's like the Cheetah. They go after the sick, slow gazelles because the fast, alert ones have scattered too quickly.

The fact that you don't find properly tanked Hulks while you gank is not relevant to the discussion.

If you pay attention, and you’ve got your wits about you, you can avoid people coming in and ganking, a survival of the fittest kind of thing, and people are now able to actually make a much better living from mining because of things like Hulkageddon and Burn Jita, because minerals are more expensive.

I'm merely repeating what you said you do. You've given ample descriptions, and the overarching theme of it all is that you are killing easy marks.

Are you saying that you don't know what you're doing yourself and that what you've described so far was just nonsense?

Risk vs. reward is unbalanced in hisec.

Suicide gankers should get huge rewards from suicide ganking. For example currently ganking tanked exhumers require gankers to take way too big risk to gank tanked exhumer. Should help gankers who like to gank exhumers.
Something like:
100 mil / exhumer.
25 mil / untanked T1 industrial.
1 bil / freighter.
etc.
