EVE General Discussion

Every fit that comes near that has no task dedicated mods. Most combat ships that don't fit some sort of utility or damage mod are considered fail fit. Apparently exhumers and barges are the exception?

It most certainly is not a terrible fit. Quit ******* lying. It sacrificed nearly all of it's yield for tank. It is exactly the fit and killmail that you've been claiming doesn't exist for days and even in the face of clear evidence of how wrong you are, you still ***** and cry and moan about the ebil bad men at CCP who made it unprofitable for you to gank exhumers in Highsec. You could double the number of Catalysts on that mail and STILL make a profit from the kill.

How many times do you need to be proven wrong before you stop crying about these necessary buffs that have been welcomed by the majority of the community? Even Soundwave has made it abundantly clear to you that the delusion you're living under of EVE being designed around profitable ganking is a myth and a lie.

Their flown actively because they have an active role. Though, this doesn't change the fact that they are not simply expected to fill highs with guns and the rest with LSE's DCU's and plates. In order to have any chance of tanking there is only 1 viable fit and even then often needs the help of outside boosts from links to be able to sustain itself in an attack. In this fit everything is sacrificed that can be for tank. and this is for the best of the group of ships.

Ganking Hulks isn't profitably unless the victim fits their Hulk to allow it to be profitable to gank.

i've seen 1 ganker since hulkageddon started, and i haven't seen a can flipper in like half a year. nobody bothers with those activities to begin with.

Will probably just switch targets to be honest. Miners aren't the only ones that can be ganked for profit, or for a laugh.

Sure. But that's what you need to be safe while totally AFK. If you're paying attention at all, you can just warp off if a gank is incoming.

I've paid attention lots and I have never seen anyone advertise they are about to do a gank. Good gankers usually have a cloaked scout ship, gankers align to scout and warp to them -10km or -20km to land right next to their target. Target lock then open fire. Unless the target in question is near 3/4 max speed (required to warp), they may not have the quick reaction time to warp out before gankers open fire. Just being aligned to a target but not moving does not reduce the time to enter warp.

All of these people that gank (I cannot call them PvPs because they aren't really doing that) seem to think all of these measures are realistic and practical. Gotta stop thinking that way. Fact is, unless you have flagged a corp, or the person doing the ganking is flashy red, you cannot know which person in local may want to gank you. And even then, finding them in local if the numbers are high isn't always easy, especially if the system in question has traffic through it normally.

Having said all that, I am not saying it is unfair, this is the way it is and that's fine. Gives the gankers that are smart and organized the ability to get any target they want...if they really want to do it. If you don't think you can get the ship in question, simply switch targets to one you can gank. That's the way Eve is. If Hulks and other mining ships are no longer profitable to gank, go after Noctis. Chances are those have way better profits and those are easy kills. I got one no problem(with one of my other characters), without even a point on it, using long range missles. And this was in WH space where the pilots that are running ninja anomalies are paying attention.

Even when paying attention, you say.

Perhaps Noctis needs some buff then ...

You're already making a mistake if you're mining in a system with a high local count.
