Crime & Punishment

Nope, never heard of you!

They are not abusing game mechanics. They are using the game mechanics CCP specifically set up to engender this response from you and others.

I don't like them, per se, any more than I like other griefers. But they are NOT abusing the game mechanics.

Not in any way.

Just a short update,

so far the numbers of anti - gank players taking part in op has grown

Freighter have been saved and more are taking to us and asking for help

New players are asking about ship fittings so to be that little bit safer in highsec

We have started to destroy the loot drops from freighter to stop code making money (a shame indeed)

I have been hunted and tracked, blocked from chat channel in silly ways, sent turnt mails (all ingame content)
and they seem to not to want to talk with me in any channel I cross them in

On the last point it shows me what I do is having an effect, even Alan charen-Teng code's very own Corp hacker, what ever she calls herself, I met in the mining had very few words other than oh you, I'm very happy.


So if you are a victim of mindless ganking and want to help drop along to Anti-ganking channel in game and do your bit for high sec

Congratulations! Keep up the good fight.

Teaching players what this game is about and how they can protect themselves is a noble endeavour. We need more people to understand that highsec is not a safe zone, and that AFK freighter hauling is not always the proper way to move your goods.

But as was said above, you really should try to steal the loot if you can. You can use the loot to fund a ship replacement program and field an increased number, and perhaps more expensive ships to fight the gankers.


But I will disagree with you there. Ganking is definitely not mindless as it takes technique, effort and coordination to take down a freighter, and even more effort to do it while making a profit. Similar to actually fighting the gankers as you are finding out.

Do you have a blog yet where we can follow your progress?

Just because all your efforts are not enough does not mean that gankers have an insurmountable mechanical advantage.

Have you also considered that we are much smarter and more tenacious than you?

Ganking is in fact easier than anti-ganking though. Gankers get to pick their targets while AGs have to guess what will be hit and try to get to the target before the gankers do. Once that happens AGs have a chance based mechanic to reduce DPS of a gank or they have to use logi to counter it which is considerably less effective, while gankers can increase their DPS by precalculated amounts by adding cheap ships, and drastically reduce AGs chances of success with ECCM. Even once a gank is prevented, bumpers can keep the target in place to take a second shot at it. After all that, if the gank is successfully prevented the payout is minimal. Looting the field of ganker wrecks if the independent scavengers didn't get it, and whatever the target feels like sending over, if anything.

I'm not saying ganking doesn't require a level of skill, but to suggest that it's not easier than anti-ganking is disingenuous.

Lucas, I have seen you post multiple times that the AG are at a disadvantage due to not knowing where the targets will be engaged.

If you are hunting CODE, they only setup in one of a few choice systems and it is fairly obvious when a freighter is being bumped. It takes a few minutes to bump a freighter into a satisfactory position, which is more than enough time to get a counter fleet in position.

So how exactly do you not know where a gank will take place?

People should come and try helping stop a gank, with 3 or 4 bumpers trying to push freighter off grid, sometimes we have to pick what we save by scanning the target, better to save a full freighter than an empty or afk one, also the other danger that puts people off helping is the grief corps can get from helping us, they have friends who war Dec to keep people away.

Fighting Code is a very dirty war to fight, we have all seen what they do.

If you want to help and are not a member of a skilled pvp group, please use an alt

OP's corp called Gankbears..........??????????? Gankers will always thrive in high sec and waging a war against them is like fighting an Imaginary ghost. They will slip in and out of the shadows like ninjas, they will not fight you head on, They live to gank on multiple accounts due to standing grinds thus you will not win this war.

Grr Goons detected, you just kissed goodbye to any credibility you had.
