The miners have been given the possibility to use ships that tank better for a lower yield, they also have the option to tank it again for less yield, most of the miners pick the mid range ship in terms of tank and fit it for yield, so you can still gank them easily enough. However there are those that mine who look at tank first and then yield and those people sit there laughing at those that still die to a single Catalyst. What was funny is that so many people were moaning about this as a killer blow to high sec ganking, but it was not, enjoy!!!!

To show you how bad some miners are, many have not even bothered to refit their rigs from cargo rigs, lol

When the going gets tough the Gankers get their CSM rep to change mechanics in their favour.

When I was last in New Eden, a destroyer could sacrifice itself and remove a retriever and a T1 Tornado could remove a Hulk/Mack. I have heard there has been changes to the mining ships that prevent successful solo removal of a miner from high sec.

Is it still possible to pull off solo removals of miners in high sec?

Thank you for your time!



It takes three T1 destroyers about 7s to destroy and untanked mack I believe. CORE frequently fields in squads of 5+ in their code approved ganks. They have a reimbursement policy I believe that covers part of the suicide ship and they tend to be able to loot and salvage to recoup some costs. Also they almost always manage to get the miner to ride the podexpress. Not that they notice it until they get back from being AFK.
