"Eve is a game driven by consequences for actions." Not if you're into suicide ganking

This is such a simple idea I can't believe nobody has thought of it before.

OP, which of the Hulks ganked in Minmatar space this weekend is your main?

Over 22 billion isk in damages on the second one alone, i made profit on this ordeal, and there was no risk to me. I also ruined a lot of peoples day. How is that for a messed up game mechanic?



I never said suicide ganking wasn't easy. I also never said that it wasn't risky. What I did say was that it has consequences. You have made an alt to do your ganking, a definite consequence seeing as how you now have to spend more isk or RL money to facilitate the playstyle. If you were doing it with your main you would have to grind sec status to stay in high sec and to get the most out of your ganks.

Also, I do have to say that is a hilarious name for a suicide alt.


Thanks, just sitting there, mining away, chilling, suddenly boom! In more ways than one.

Costs ISK? I think you missed the 22b isk bit. Can you say plex? 22b - 400m = 21.6b

Sounds like profit to me, not cost.

Consequences of their action is that they are buying ships off carebears at a price.

If CCP does something stupid like removing insurance for concorded ships Comrade Mittens will just up the alliance reimbursement for our losses.

EVE is a game about spaceships and there's an enormous amount of work to do on the in-space gameplay before players (or developers) are ready to sacrifice it for a totally new type of gameplay - CCP Rise

Insurance does not pay out the full cost of a hull, nor does it pay for the modules used in a gank. Yes they use a ton of cheap ships to kill craploads of miners who would rather outfit their ships for maximum greed rather than survival. No tanks, no drones, no support. But once those stores of isk are used up then they have to go make isk again to fund their ganky fun time. Instead of complaining about gankers, how bout you complain to CCP about putting a little bit more PG and CPU on those mining ships so you can fit a bit of a tank on there hmm?

hold on let me stop you right here.

see ganking is more than just lulz, some people that gank take a real risk that stuff is going to drop. sure they may get some isk back but if they are ganking a hauler and all the expensive stuff goes boom then what? they lose money. There is risk to ganking. also loss of sec status is huge.

Why Can't I have a picture signature.

Also please support graphical immersion, bring back the art that brought people to EvE online originaly.

When carebear industry corps complain about people being able to drop their POS towers from alliance and take them down with 0 risk of the tower or anything in or on it being destroyed then they will be in a position to talk about people facing consequences for their actions. Until that point the entire argument is hugely hypocritical.

I actually kind of want to remove insurance now, simply because the whining miners can only think of the world in mercantilist terms; they're trying to put an isk-value on suffering.

When I drop a completely uninsured Brutix on a Hulk after a ~massive ganking nerf~ like removing insurance, they will cry twice as much, as they will be unable to even conceive of how such an event took place.

Also, should there be another hulkageddon, it will be amazing to watch the miners dying to gank-teams in disposable thrashers, then grasping at straws for their next nerf.

I want to get insurance like that in RL and wreck it driving it into an ATM machine. It's WIN WIN !

Also, all truly profitable ventures should be moved to lowsec and 0.0 so no risk no gain.

It's already arrived in features and ideas. Someone has suggested special treatment for the gankee. Basically they get a payment from the ganker for losing their ship. So they can buy another with modules and all that.

You know it's only fair.

The second page obligatory link with a game mechanic and RL insurance. Well played sir.

You're kidding me right?

You sit behind billions of tech moon income and make that claim.

So how about we nerf EVERY tech moon in game Mittens? You know, LEVEL the playing field somewhat.

Isn't communism your thing?

Someone should suggest (again) that the terrible gankers should be locked up in jail for 24h for each crime they have committed. Big smile

That's a damn fine idea. What about also taking a set amount of SP away from the ganker? Sounds fair and balanced too.

That isn't guaranteed though. That is the fault of the people carrying shiny things in paper-thin ships.
