Ganked in lowsec? Absolutely. You entered a gate with basically the worst possible ship so you can’t really warp away or re-approach the gate so you die to the blob/swarm of ■■■■ that can easily get you even if you manage to jump to the other side. Another solid definition? I’m not as familar with today’s mechanics but there was a time you’d shoot at the Covetor in the top belt and it lights a cyno for 10b ISK worth of stuff to come and kill you and jump away. I’m glad they did away with the whole figher assist / skynet thing too Lowsec is just like the other secs: flawed and special and unique to your preference and playstyle. ---

I think most would differentiate lowsec gate camping from ganking. I have been gate camped in lowsec…I say I was gate camped, not that I was ganked. Otherwise you’d get to a point where _all_ PvP could be labelled as ‘ganking’. ---

> [@Githany\_Red](#): > > Not seen you there myself, maybe your on an alt like me. > > Anyway thought you was off looking for solo kills > > Or trying to help SRS . Yes, I’m mainly playing under alts. Ironically, though the idea was to use them so I could have losses and not have them associated with Altara…the alts are actually doing better than Altara. Yes, I’m after the solo kills in lowsec…but I am also going to take up highsec ganking again, which I have not done for some months. So if you’ve seen lots of Catalysts being flown to Uedama…that’ll be me. I’m not involved with SRS. Wrecking Machine have scaled down the station bashing…which is one reason I’m looking for other stuff to do. ---

> [@Io\_Koval](#): > > The kind of fights that could happen were still describable with jargon (ex: triage carrier fights) but even the very-onesided-fights (ex: the famous Rooks and Kings pipebombs of old, the huge BR for structures or hotdrops or JF lances of today) were and still are no longer called “ganks” in the sense of “one-sided fights”. Just excellent planning, scouting, and execution. Actually around… 2009? nullsec alliance leaders began to use the “ganking is not proper PvP” (still not dishonorable) when some incredibly highsec ganking killmails appeared. They were afraid of losing players (many wanted to try HS ganking) so they came out with that concept. So basically all began with nullbears chickening out due to losing qualified capsuleers. ---

> [@Altara\_Zemara](#): > > I have been gate camped in lowsec It’s a right of passage, much like getting suicide ganked in highsec. I would go as far to say that your truly not a denizen of low sec if you haven’t been gate camped. ---

One’s first trip to lowsec is like coming across a big ’ Do Not Push This Button’ in space. ---

Fair take. How about just any one-sided fight in general? Ganked? ---

> [@Rich\_Darine](#): > > How about just any one-sided fight in general? Ganked? There’s no such thing as a one sided fight in Eve. There’s numerous things you can do to avoid ever having that fight in the first place. For example when moving expensive stuff or ships around I always scout ahead. I create bookmarks all over the place. I fit inertial stabilisers. Etc, etc, etc. ---
