I decided to issue a non mining ship to some of my ice miners today and thought maybe I should ask here first before proceeding to shoo away the competition.

Is this allowed or should I wait for the other guys to apply the scare tactics?

I saw your fleet departing Jita this morning, and had a good laugh. 😄

… and no, it’s not allowed to just show and not gank.

Be sure to ask for their mining permits and sell them one if they don’t have one. 😉

An impressive show of farce

Incidently, this is a tactic I was told was impossible by some elite PvErs and PvPers only three days ago.

Well he posted for the very first time on these forums “_This is the first time_” so he must have received the message.

Completely valid, though I would avoid miner’s who have permits in their bio.

Another tactic you might want to try is to fit up an Stabber Fleet Issue (or a Cynabal or Machariel) with a 500mn MicroWarp Drive and bump the miners at full speed. Most barges, and even Orca’s, will go flying outside of mining/fleet hangar range. This is very frustrating to the miners, as it reduces their ISK/hr and also means they have to engage with the client more than once every few minutes. Most will leave rather quickly.
