Sucks that that people so willing to fight that they suicide gank can't be bothered to get into a corp and fight ... wait, then there's risk involved ...


Ganking is a single-purpose role for many chars. They're trained specifically to do just that. You might be surprised of the number of chars used to gank are controlled by a person whose mains actually do what you state - wardecs, low-sec piracy, 0.0 guys and the like.

No they are not, while a large percentage may well be in NPC corps there are many gankers that are not. For example Goonswarm and their cohorts gank under the Miniluv flag, on characters that are in those organisations, James' merry little band fly under the CODE(dot) banner, the entire alliance consists of gankers although they do bring unaffiliated friends to the party, and there are many other player corporations and alliances that specialise in the removal of ships goods and implants from the unwary, and more importantly from the game, what they do helps drive the demand for ships and modules, and probably represents the cause of a goodly chunk of market transactions

The fact of the matter is that most gankers are shoot on sight with no Concord interference, their -5 or better /worse (depends who you ask Pirate) security status' and pretty colours in local are there to inform you of this status, and as a badge of dishonour /honour (once again, it depends who you ask).

OP your attitude is excellent, you'll do well here if you stick with it.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

I understand that most 'pro' gankers are all in player corporations.

I understand that most of them are quick-flip biomass.

No one will war-dec a gank corp because it is about as useful as wearing a hornets nest as underpants, fun for them and much butt hurt for you.

After the Tags4Sec goes live there will likely be a slowdown on the bio-mass option as you can buy your sec rating back to make sure people don't take off when you drop in local ( and to a lesser extent, police hunting you down )

It is when you want to try and protect against a gank squad and they are all in NPC corps. There is no pro-active option other than to CONCORD yourself and they get a pretty fireworks show.

Biomassing a character with negative sec status for the purpose of rolling another one is an exploit and nobody does it. Please don't make such accusations without some kind of proof.
