Crime & Punishment

Its not less than three seconds, its more, when I do it I get it into warp as soon as it hits quarter speed.I get to about 6 seconds from uncloaking until in warp, 5 seconds if perfect. And yes it is very difficult to get caught with those times, and I am using a Loki with twin faction webs.

Fit Inertial Stabilizers to have it instantly warp without waiting for 25% speed. Tank is useless anyway these days.

And you are correct, I have three bulkheads on the Charon, I was wondering if the Gankers would suss it out, but they just threw an insult which made them look silly while you one of the Anti-Gankers sussed it out completely.

Talking about skill, getting it out in 5 seconds with three bulkheads was actually very very good, but they could not bring themselves to acknowledge that and that was funny...

Self-funded != profitable ganking.

There are a couple cases when profit is made:
-Jita chases, where we scan for the 10-20b+ freighters. This doesn't happen every day, in fact we'd be lucky to find a 20b+ freighter once a week. Of course this is going to be profitable because we're incredibly selective in our target acquisition. This is where a lot of our ganking profit comes from.
-Burn events. Having 50+ DPS in a fleet lets us use cheaper and cheaper ships but still get the same DPS, which makes our ganks more efficient. We also don't have anti-gankers the entire time, so we're able to scoop loot when they've given up and asleep, and when ganks are that cheap it's hard not to make a profit.

Standard fleets, the ones that make up 80%+ of freighter losses are not long term profitable.

Send this to James 315, you will get his response.

I haven't bothered to read the thread, however based on the title I'll provide the only answer that matters.

The punishment for unlawful aggression is loss of the ship you are flying under GCC and a reduction in security status. Working as intended, and doesn't need to be anything more.

If you get ganked, learn from it instead of crying. Apply said lesson. No more problems.

End.

Use a daredevil instead. Works way better.

I am not a bad person, but I really enjoyed my several periods of hisec ganking. I have not enjoyed at all my several getting-ganked experiences, and did not enjoy the ransom scams that occurred when our fleets had targets bump-captured. I cannot imagine doing it long-term (yawn) but it does make for an interesting eve-diversion from time to time.

Having been away for a little while I'd never heard of CODE but looked them up and now understand that they're a recent miniluv knockoff copycat wannabe group. I gather from the OP that they're doing ok ... so will now have to keep an eye out for them as i fly expensive toys around hisec.

Irrespective of the type of ganking I found it to be technically demanding, gameplay savvy intensive, and a heckuvalot of fun. I flew either solo or with miniluv and even today find myself chuckling at memories of the mad scramble when a 15b isk 'whale' came onto the radar, or when we fail-ganked due to lack of numbers or poor fleet discipline. My solo laughable miner-gank attempts still see me cringing quietly.

Last night I saw a blinged-out BS get ganked near Uedama. FFS, he was autopiloting a very expensively fit ship (active tank elements no use at all when AP travelling) through notorious ganking systems.

IDK, I see nothing morally repugnant in eve ganking. It is just part of the game (like whining about ganking) and it adds an interesting additional dimension for players to engage in. Like every part of eve ganking has its counter, and that is mostly sensible game play. As the recent miniluv posting on TMC noted the numbers of whales has dropped markedly as players respond to ganking ... but they have not disappeared entirely.

Yeah could do that, however I have now left hisec and am having fun again in 0.0

This is my main you dunce. Ask anyone here in C&P, I've stated it many times.
