Criminals and gank failures

Well, no…one has only to be distracted momentarily, like yesterday when I hadn’t noticed an Atron had showed up. This is where having the mining ship 30km from the landing point comes in handy…especially as I was in a Venture rather than my high EHP Proc. But it’s simply not possible to maintain high alertness for 2 or 3 hours. Nobody is sitting there hitting d-scan every 3 seconds for 3 hours.

The ganker doesn’t have to have that ultra high level of alertness. He can always find another target…there’s no shortage of them. This is why it is such nonsense when people portray ganking as if it required skill and mining as if it required none. It is quite the reverse. The ganker only has to succeed once…the miner has to all the time.

Heck…if I was into ganking Ventures I could easily kill 10 a day…even those that are paying attention. You don’t even need to ‘creep up’ on them…just warp there in a harmless shuttle, do ‘save location’ on the asteroid they are on, warp back to station to get Catalyst, and warp right in on the Venture. What could be easier ?

Hi Cilla, genuine question; why were you in a squishy Venture rather than your Procurer?

It is something I’ve come across before, but never understood.

Obviously, if you were trying something out that you’d rather keep to yourself, that’s fine!

A group of gankers were specifically after Cilla…they even chased me through several systems last week. So I’ve been using ‘character 2’ to mine…and that character doesn’t have Procurer skills as I have all my skills updating character 3 for combat as that one wont be mining at all. I’m not getting zonked in a flimsy Condor again :slight_smile:

Again, the venture is at fault. Why would you think a shuttle would be harmless? You’d only bring a shuttle to a belt to make a BM. I’d have to assume you were trying to kill me :smiley:

Save location on the asteroid isn’t a great idea. Warping into an asteroid is a good way to be rapidly shot back out away from your warp in point.

Using an alt to scout and setup the warp in is a much better approach.

No we don’t but I do carry a ship scanner

Your use of ROFL & Wtfpwning really gives me a laugh. Some nostalgic trash talk right there XD

432

I am bringing it all back :smiley: The internet smack talk of today leaves much to be desired.

Just last night I got accused of being a zoomer. Then I started talking about MUDs and they had no idea what I was talking about :smiley:

A MUD I used to play is still sort of going. I log in every now and then for nostalgia.

Yeah just asked because I get scanned all the time. Dont mind the yellow boxing, but scanning is just rude.

Really it is down to pilots but our log in numbers are low right now many people doing real things , once people come back we will have a big push again . Just need to find a sustainable thing to holds people interest, we have some interesting ideas ready to go ,when numbers come back.

Thxs for the offer but I can’t think of a single eve item that would help other than a commitment by pilots to help us but for that we need to find consistent content

Aw the little antiganker community is evaporating.

:frowning_face: :slightly_frowning_face: :frowning_face:

It’s almost like antiganking is BORING. Gee, people don’t actually want to log into a game to defend people who are AFK - imagine that!

I’ll post a guide for you later on how to effectively AG.

You can thank me later.
