There has been some random killings but these guys still keep hauling stuff to market.

Of course they could be blue for goons or then goons just don't have nuff will/manpower to keep fields blocked 23,5/7

Anyways has been fun event to follow now that hulkageddon is no more.

Yes, we have given up. Please resume mining.

Yes you are: you're trading it to make a profit, and you're letting known Goon bots continue to mine. Go look at Brapelille and tell me that the miners still harvesting ice aren't related to Goons somehow.

If you're not in on the oxytopes market, you've been let down by your leadership. Apparently their profit is more important than yours.


i had wondered from the csm forums if you were just a bad troll, but given your posts in this thread i'm now convinced that you're simply off meds

not only do you think goons mine ice or care about ice except as a lever to inflict misery upon the meek, you think that gsf and the drf are at war, apparently having missed the dcf memo

please stop posting until you have some vague notion of what you're talking about w/r/t nullsec. i suspect this will be in approximately ten years at your current pace!

I'm still waiting for someone to explain to me why it's worse than invading someone else's space.

Because it has never been done before, or because this person didn't have space and so they thought their toys were safe! :)

Oh, I see, people in hi-sec are morally entitled to perfect safety while they endlessly grind ISK by supplying vital resources to my enemies with no interference. So obvious now it has been explained to me. Many thanks, Mr Valjean.

it's way more fun to get the 6 pods, because you know the guy running 6 bots put hella implants in

I just did that, and 10 minutes later all the people I podded convoed me at the exact same time

subtle, bro


Please do more of this.

This is so easy to counteract it's just funny.

2 or 3 mackinaws, an Orca and a couple of alt's to keep Concord around by attacking somebody all the time, including attacking Concord itself.

Add the fact that they have driven the price of Oxy Iso's way up and a profitable day or two could be had.

If you bunch up too much they could maybe get a couple of your Mack's with Smartbombing BS's, but now that Insurance is almost fixed hardly worth it IMO.

Heck I might just get a Smartbomb BS and nuke some Goon pods just for the lulz.

That requires a player to actually be at the keyboard...not something we're seeing a lot of in the ice fields.

Why?

It's a sandbox and just as spaceships can crash and burn economies can as well!

lol you guys arent doing your jobs, the price of oxygen isotopes in down by at least 100 isks in Dodixie

If you cant organize a 23.5/7 embargo (or as you call it interdiction) your "pain and misery" becomes "minor annoyance".
They just learn when you guys' DT is and go nom ice during it.
Also, I find it surprising how Mittens is surprised that the bots have nigh infinite money to buy more ships an go back lol

I believe they have that covered...

CLEANING UP YOUR OWN CONCORD SPAWN

Cleaning up your own CONCORD spawn, so other people can make their own attack runs, is actually really easy. Dock at the closest station to the belt you just ganked in, then immediately undock in a newbie ship and don't move - simply drift for 30 seconds with your docking immunity. This will pull CONCORD to you, and since you have your docking immunity sentry guns will not kill you before CONCORD gets there. If multiple people participated in a gank, they should all do this at the same time.

Please make sure to clean up your own CONCORD spawns whenever possible: it makes life easier for everyone else and really isn't very difficult.


CLEARING OTHER PEOPLE'S CONCORD SPAWNS

Sometimes clever pubbies, or lazy goons, will leave a spawn in a belt. You need to get rid of that before you gank, or you'll be instagibbed when you gank (unless you're in a Galtpest).

Concord usually only spawns one fleet per system. Concord, once spawned, will travel from place to place dealing with anything that shoots something they shouldn't. That means you just need to summon CONCORD somewhere else: take a newbieship in an alt and plink something - a GSC, or the staging pos. Just don't do it near faction police or sentry guns, so you don't die before CONCORD gets there.

If two people gank at once, however, there will be two fleets. It appears that the closest spawn is the one that moves: ergo get closer to the spawn you want to move (nearby belt, nearby pos, whatever) than the one you don't, then summon it. If all else fails, use safespots just off-grid. Don't worry about CONCORD being close: they take a flat 6 seconds to warp regardless of distance.

If you suspect bot miners to operate in the Brappy system there is nothing stopping you from undertaking the same crusade Goonswarm currently is conducting, provided that is their main objective of course.

Apart from that you can also use the petition system to forward any collected data to ccp and they will look in to it.

For the rest it's just eve. Viva la boom.

Just dont expect it to ever go away.

You go your corridor but.
