What? What blue list. What are you talking about. Ive been ganked before. Its all in good fun.

Im talking about the amount they make from ganking itself.

I gank from time to time, but i dont make a single isk on it. All my isk is made in other ways. I lose isk because i buy my own ships.

So, how do you know how much ISK they make from ganking freighters?

No, im pointing out that your caveat is stupid.

Again, refer to my response above.

Okay.

Lets take a recent Kusion Gank as an example:

15 Talos, 10 Hounds and 2 Catalysts are on that kill.

A sinlge Talos with Max skills will do 6816 damage every 4 seconds.
A single Hound with Max skills will do 5704 damage every 6 seconds.
Catalysts do about 1114 damage with max skills every 2 seconds.

An ark with two bulkheads and max skills has around 450K HP total. Actually, 470, but for the killmails sake, lets lower it to 450K.

Concord arrives in 24 seconds, as we will assume it has been drawn away.

This is being very generous, but lets say everyone fires at the same time, even the drones of the talos. Resists will decrease the damage to about 70%. Again, very generous, it would actually be lower, because Kinetic and explosive resistance are higher, far higher than 30% With regards to shields, and Kinetic is only 20% for sheilds and over 30 for armor and hull.

AG shows up to assist. 3 medium T2, 1 large T2, and 1 large ancillary remote shield booster. Very cheap fits, easy to fly.

Guess how many people you need to stop the gank? 8 people. Thats it.

And this is assuming that everyone starts firing at the same time, which they didnt. And that everyone launches drones at the same time and attacks, which they didnt. And generously ignoring a huge chunk of resists.

For simplicities sake, weve calculated 8. Its completely doable with 7. So yes. A quarter.

So let me get this straight.

You are saying that No jump freighter ever gets ganked in jita?

Yes, thats exactly what you should be doing. It should take 7 people to counter 28. It should take a certain level of effort from your side to protect your assets.

I did say that, and im just confirming that youre agreeing with me.

So, is it a yes?

Whats the goal? The goal for the freighter pilot is not to gank the bumper. Its to ensure the survival of his freighter.

I mean, be honest. What do you think the freighter pilot, or even AG, would care more about?

Ganking the bumper, but also ending up losing the freighter and 10 billion isk worth of goods to the gankers as well.

-OR-

Logi coming and saving his freighter and he survived, but the bumper also survives.

I thought we were talking about this from AG, and the freighters perspective?

Yeah, bad mechaics. 1 vs 28 and you cant win? What poor mechanics. Thats why all professional tournaments for any game, are always 1 vs 5. 1 vs 10. Every CS GO tournament, is like one person fighting against 20 other people.

Yeah, right. Come back from your fantasy world.

For someone who never lost a ship to gankers, you sure cry a lot.

I did.

It worked.

How do you think i came up with the idea in the first place?

Yes, we enjoy ganking, irrespective of contests. After all, we dont gank for prizes. We gank to make a better hisec. For all.

Oh, i get it. Is this the same list, where you pay 1 billion isk to get on?

Must be the same place where CODE sells AFK mining permits.

There is a blue list.

You are playing at it, not doing it aka Kusion or Australian Excellence, that is like comparing a mission runner in drake to a min/max blitzing specialist, but do continue.

You obviously have no idea how much ISK they make from ganking then.

See above.

The only way that they can fire at the same time if you are talking about multi-boxers is if they are cheating with input control, but the one I checked from a corp mate that got ganked in a JF in Jita on the Perimeter gate was obviously not input broadcasting. The DPS of such a group can overwhelm the reps of the logi, it happens all the time in this game.

I don’t know where you decided that from?

So as I said in my post above I need to have 9 accounts to move a freighter in hisec, sounds very balanced to me, not…

And I said no, dishonest people puts words in other peoples mouths, you have done this three times now.

Yes you are trolling, the only way to get away is gank the bumper. And that is my entire problem with the current meta of freighter ganking. As I keep pointing out the gankers catch JF’s on the Perimeter gate without bumping, I want that to be the only approach to ganking and this ridiculous bumping method end and then I am fine with it. As you are trolling you keep ignoring this, but do continue.

No more bumping…

No more bumping…

No more bumping…

No more bumping…

Bumping…

Irrelevant…

What for pointing out a poor mechanic which makes it too easy, lol…

So you are crying over someone you think is crying…

I don’t believe it, simply parking a BS in front of a bumper is not going to do it.

Well that is your propaganda, but if you remove the bumping I would be fine with it.

I have never lost a ship to CODE or Miniluv, that is because I don’t use freighters in the main pipes any more and know how to play this game. I keep reminding players like you and the troll ones of that simple fact.

Nope, it was the blue out of alliance freighter list that CODE respected with the Goons, which I actually used when I was in the CFC a while back and which my friends are in. You can pretend all you want, but that is why when you can’t even admit to that, your entire posting is suspect. :stuck_out_tongue:

Hey Draccie,

Denial isn’t a river in africa,

Also for the second time, please stop polluting this thread with your tinfoil ag theories :joy:

I just had some cashew nuts they were a bit salty.

So in the land of lah lah, they finally get to understand that when I reply to someone it is not going off topic, so now they call it polluting and start talking about tinfoil, how quaint and edgy .

As I said if you chappets stop replying to me then I will leave this thread alone, of course the edgy one does not matter as I don’t get notifications of his insipid posts.

So I’m edgy for telling you to walk away nicely.
Okay, sure.

Try not to cut yourself with that projection Draccie.

@Xan_Staraider check thine contracts btw :slight_smile:

Walk away Draccie

Start your own thread if you want to talk about freighters and blue lists so much

My dear boy, I have a new name for you, I was going to refer to you as the Edgelord, but that seems to offend some people so Edgy will be used instead…

The reason is pretty simple, you try so so hard to be edgy in all your posts, but also because you are on edge when you post. So Edgy it is, it fits really well…

Also this is the last time I am ever going to reply directly to you, but I will refer to you often as you can’t help but follow me around, edgy huh!

PS if that is your definition of nice, LMAO, Edgy!!! Ahah you changed it to be less edgy, good man are you finally learning Eve forum etiquette? And you talk about name calling as if you don’t do it yourself, LMAO, there are a number of examples up above, Edgy…

@ISD_Sakimura Yes some of these posts are off topic, however I am replying to people who are being off-topic.

False flagging once again.

@ISD_Sakimura could you do a little cleanup, the lad above doesn’t seem to understand what on topic means despite many instances of being asked to stop

Also more ad-hominem as per usual…

Tia

I feel like this is your catchphrase, but strangely enough you always end up replying with name-calling and other very irrelevant salt.

See you soon :joy:

Nah you’re just being salty. You’re powerless to stop any of the ganks that are happening at this very moment. So you come here to project and seem important.

Praise James! \o/

My dear boy, you happen to be ganking the poorly tanked mining ships and you do that in regions that I do not operate in. I see a mere three freighters and an Orca on your kill board.

So the first point is that people who use anything other than a Skiff or Procurer in terms of exhumers or mining barges does not have any sympathy from me at all.

Second point is that there is no interest in me moving across regions to chase after such lame content, but if you were a couple of jumps away from me I might be tempted to blow you up.

In terms of freighter ganking as bumping is such a lame useless mechanic that makes it too easy and uninteresting I would rather watch paint dry then expose myself to such insipid and pathetic content.

I am unimportant. And if you were not replying to me I would not be returning.

Praise my hamster \o/

Ok you don’t care about this subject, got it. Soooo then…

why are you here?

Just responding to people talking to you?

At this point he’s just trying to project and get this lovely thread locked like every ganking thread that ever existed :joy:

I only care about your competition in as much that it indicates a desperation on your part. And am interested in the development of ganking as a whole. The reason I entered this thread above is when one of the posters here and I think it was you posted complete and utter rubbish about an AG player showing that you had no understanding of what he did and I picked that person up on it, it then developed from there with the normal edgy people doing their normal off-topic bait posting to which I replied as it can be fun.

I happen to read C&P, not as much as I used to because all the good content disappeared a long time ago, but I hope. I should point out that a lot of the time I refrain from posting as I see this part of the forums as being the domain of the more criminal element within Eve.

If you actually stop replying to me then I will go back to reading only. \o/

I’m asking cause you know in Eve, just like in life, actions tend to speak louder than words.

It’s why ag fails so badly so often.
