-bumping
-suicide ganking

Bumping doesn't do enough and suicide ganking is pointless if they're in a T1 ship. What else is there?

Edit: Just to be clear, this has nothing to do with the suspect flag. I don't mind being flagged to everyone, because 90% of people won't do anything about it and the other 10% probably won't be able to find me unless i want them to anyways

This is about the effort you now have to put into canflipping in order to get anything out of it.
A: Because of the mack buff, much fewer people jetcan mine, because they don't need to.
B: Because of the new rules, you basically have to bring an alt with you, or else the miner can just steal the can back from you and ignore you.

Combine the two and there's zero point in can flipping anymore.

You can still can flip, just need someone else there to pass the ore on to.

Wait did you just ask openly how to do something thats not valid by the EULA?

-you steal, draw a suspect flag
-they come in a hauler and take the ore and fly home, and you can't do **** about it

Yeah you can use an alt or something, but that basically doubles the effort involved
Or you can shoot the can, but then they have less incentive to try to confront out about it.

You can't really suicide-gank the miners anymore due to the massive inefficiency of the activity. Bumping is the best bet, so get in on it while you still can, since it will be removed pretty soon. Alternatively, you can join their corporations, and bonk them from the inside. Harder, and sometimes impossible to pull off, but worth the effort due to the amount of rage it leads to. Just check this out.

I wrote some true EVE stories! And no, they're not of the generic "my 0.0 alliance had lots of 0.0 fleets and took a lot of 0.0 space" sort. Check them out here:

If you're so eager to get aggro, why don't you just declare a war instead of creating such a weak post asking how to spend hours on end of your life trying to get a retriever kill?

OMG , really OP you are a wimp , you saying you can not canflip anymore ,
you can , only problem is that someone else who could be and probably is better than you can kill you aswell
Not meaning to insult you , but in RL this is called being a coward

Grow some balls and do some real pvp against people that actually fight back , you might not win all the times but it is certainly much more fun

I do not agree with what you are saying , but i will defend to the death your right to say it...... Voltaire

It's posts like this that make me want to start screwing with miners.

i mess around in lowsec all the time. i get maybe one fight for every 4-5 times I go out. You're a joke if you think lowsec is a good place to find pvp. I also do nullsec ops with my alliance all the time. But sometimes you just want to **** with miners, you know?

I don't want to do this for lack of alternatives.

Actually now pods are fair game, high sec seems the best place tbh.
