So you're afraid of being ganked... But should you be?

The main thing that this tool doesn't help people with is gate/station guns. For a destroyer gank at a gate it will be the sentries that make the kill before concord get involved.

It does not, but you can use it to simply know if someone can gank you for non-financial motives by checking for the red "RISK" next to the gank ship type.

You are missing the most cost-effective ganking ship: the T1 Catalyst.

I was weighing it against the T2 Catalyst for inclusion. I picked the T2 one so I have one T1 destroyer and one T2 destroyer present. I guess I could include both, but the page gets a bit clunky/big that way. If enough people would like the inclusion of T1 Catalyst, I will put it in.

You could just lower the "CONCORD time" you input. It's basically equivalent to "how long do I expect to survive", and simulates damage application by those ships within that timeframe. Keep in mind the tool is not exhaustive, and is not meant to perfectly predict outcomes -- hence it only ballparking damage, and assuming everything is in range, everyone fires at once, etc.


Thanks for the feedback, all!

Nice tool, haven't run (checked) the numbers, but the few examples I've put in past my smell test.

It also tells me that CCP shouldn't bump bounty payout much beyond 20% (though 25% should still be fine). Or our freighter transport backbone becomes much more vulnerable (they are after all quite expensive hulls).

BTW, have people put bounties on Red Frog yet?
