I’d Imagine the gank locations are predictable so it shouldn’t be too hard to find the ganks.
If only there was someone who could organise a corp freighter pilots could join with an alt and help other freight pilots haul.
Hmmm, I’m pretty good at solutions to a problem if there are people willing to listen, I’d actually enjoy organising fleets, liasing with freight pilots and defending freighters. We could train up a good handfull of fleet commanders to follow a standard and make the corp an entity that all of hi-sec knows and loves.
I’m tired of the gank threads, so yes I might start something. If it’s a success, cool, if it fails and I’m trolled into oblivion then that’s also cool, I just want to be in the midst of battle with a purpose, and what better purpose than helping a poor hauler get their stuff from A to B!
I’ll probably do the math at some point but on the face of it the idea looks ok, bumping might be a problem but then we have a bonus on the osprey.
I’ll have to visualise the scenarios and possibillities, ultimately if it is possible to rep the freighter to match the DPS being inflicted then that’s a start. If good reps are achived then the only option for the gank fleet is to attempt to move the freighter out of repping range or somehow stop the reppers without too much loss.
So the gankers would need extra numbers to primary the logi, the concord timer starts once the logi is primaried, It looks like this would immediatly double the amount of gank pilots needed
It’s absolutely possible. In F.L.Y. S.A.F.E. (my antiganking guild) we do this all the time. You can also use ecm Griffins, one jam knocks out a ganker DPS. Many ganks come down to a narrow margin, so you don’t need to neutralize the entire ganker fleet, you just need to do enough to save the target.
That is untrue. I recently lost a Navy Osprey to a Vexor Navy Issue in Low Sec while running a FW site. I had the ship almost into hull but the VNI sent his drones in. The crew that came in after I called for assistance in fleet, finished the VNI off.
Damn 90 new messages within a day or two and all of them junk because it is Dryson who came back from dead to cry about ganking again. I thought you hide into lowsec faction warfare because highsec is too dangerous. Are you back?
The danger of high sec is that suicide gankers have infinite safety from which to hunt a target. Which is why Jita always has half a dozen artillery Tornadoes sitting outside of the undock.
What you don’t see…as you scurry to safety inside the station…is that those in the Vargurs, Lokis, Machariels, Tornados, etc, often themselves get ganked. People often have this mistaken notion of all these ships hanging around safely outside Jita. It simply isn’t true. But then….you’d have to not scurry into the station in 0.5 seconds flat to notice that.
Jita is actually one of the un-safest places in the game to hang about.
Now what would be fair is if gankers got an EJECT CHICKEN button whereby you get ejected in your most expensive ship with all your plex and valuable items transferred to your cargo hold for being such a chicken and hiding in a station.
Upon ejection “Praise AIKO” Will be broadcast on your behalf in local.
