A couple of people have now commented on this statement.

Could you please elaborate and tell me more?

I’d also like to get clarification on how you know that gankers do this? Are you a ganker? Do you have friends in game that are gankers? What’s the basis for this comment? Evidence?

well it pretty simple, you know that refer link that give a new toon 1 mil sp, using that and creating a new toon you can be ganking in a thrasher or catalyst in a few mins. so when that toons security status is to low he deletes that account and starts over.

A Friend told me how they do it in code.

Yah, that’s how my friend in code does it. I do it now with all of my accounts, I usually get about a dozen ganks, maybe less if I shoot capsules, and then I’m on to a new character. It really sucks when you forget to contract all your loot before you biomass. Oh well.

I don’t understand why, if your characters are all -10 and got nothing to lose anyway. Is there something that makes it necessary ?

I’ve literally never ever ever met a ganker, or heard of a ganker, who does this. Never, not once, it’s just some nonsense carebear antiganker myth.

Very true haha.

Ganking does make EVE better tho.

If only people truly taught the newbs these days. But honestly, its like the 5-7 yr crowd that seems to be getting ganked the most.

They don’t got any excuse LOL.

So if this is true, why do ganking fleets hang off station tethers while blinking angry red -10?

they haven’t ganked enough, and there standing with local police is high enough they don’t get ganked when they undock a ship themselves by the police.

This is a claim that we’ve seen made many times over the years, and it’s actually possible to do a bit of a litmus test on it to see if it’s true.

When a character is biomassed, attempts to obtain their public information returns a 404 error from the ESI (and just to close out characters recently biomassed, it’s also possible to check for their corporation\_id being 1000001 - which is Doomheim).

I just pulled 6000 ganks (2000 x CODE., 2000 x Safety., 2000 x Novus Ordo.), pulled the character\_id of each attacker on the kills and then pulled their public character information.

Results:

| Alliance | Unique Characters on last 2000 ganks | Number Biomassed | Biomassed character\_ids |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| CODE. | 367 | 2 | [2119040129](https://esi.evetech.net/latest/characters/2119040129/?datasource=tranquility), [2117594998](https://esi.evetech.net/latest/characters/2117594998/?datasource=tranquility) |
| Safety. | 944 | 0 | |
| Novus Odro. | 229 | 1 | [2119989410](https://esi.evetech.net/latest/characters/2119989410/?datasource=tranquility) |

Of the 1540 characters, only 3 biomassed.

So, if gankers biomass at -5.0, then why are most gankers -10?

As a ganker myself, I think it’s time that I stop leading you on. It’s been quite entertaining to see how much of your knowledge on ganker business is total BS and nonsense.

Which is about 99%

Nice try tho.

well it is possible that they just don’t log into them instead of biomassing them but if you look at say code KB [Safety. | Alliance | zKillboard](https://zkillboard.com/alliance/99010569/) and pull some of the names and do a ingame search on there character alot of them are not very old.
