High Sec MTU Ganking

I have recently come back to the game.

I go on m y Perserverance, what happens. Ganked.
Go do a level 4 sec mission, what happens. Ganked.
Go do mining with a barrage, what happens, Ganked.

Year Ship Kills (HS) Pod Kills (HS) Source

The numbers don’t lie, the disease is growing and what is EvE doing about it ? nothing.

Kill the tumour before it kills the player base fun factor.

With 2,062,825 ships destroyed in HS a year according to you, we’re looking at 5651 destroyed ships a day in HS.

Yet if I open zkillboard and select ganked ships in the past 7 days I get 473, or 68 a day.

In other words, if we assume last week was no anomaly, out of those 5651 only 68 or 1,2% are gank victims a day.

Knowing those numbers, is ganking really such a big issue or is it mostly the idea of ganking that scares you?

Edit: Also I wanted to look at your losses to see if there’s something you could have done better in that Perseverance, level 4 mission or barge, but it appears you have lost no ships at all on that character!

What if the right place for you is Nullsec or WH?

Maybe it’s time to think about what you do wrong?

New alt maybe??

I’m unsure how this thread’s subject is related to MTUs mentioned in the title. :thinking:

Oh yes they do.

If 2,062,825 ships were being killed in HS every year, that would be 5,651 a day. Yet zkill shows the number of highsec kills for the entire week is 12,494, which is 1,784 a day. And that 1,784 a day is for all types of kill…of which ganking is but a small part. For example more Venture are killed by NPCs than are ever killed by gankers.

The actual number of ships ganked in the entire week is 474…that’s out of of 12,494 total. Or in other words only 3.7% of the ships lost in highsec are due to ganking.

And 474 ships a week ganked is 24,648 a year…which is a bit different from your preposterous 2,062,825 figure !

To achieve your absurd ‘stats’ there would literally have to be a ship ganked in highsec every 15 seconds…24/7…365 days a year. That’s a preposterously high level, as a member of a ganking alliance I know the reality is waaaaay below that.

This screams, “I asked AI a broadly worded question and copy/pasted the first nonsensical answer it gave me.”

You’re probably right. Disappointing.

What about you bribe them to stop ganking you, don’t know how well that would work though because most people aren’t trustworthy.

There is now a new section of space where this cannot happen.

Relocating there would be the best solution.I’m sorry to say that this is not a new occurrence and some folk cannot seem to handle folk not wishing “play” as they do. Sadly griefers exist.

It may be worth dropping a line to the Devs on your negative experience of the game if you are considering leaving . The more business these people drive away the greater chance their “Game style” will be removed.

Why are you trying to get the playstyle of other players removed, kage1982?

And in the same post you talk about griefers, which seems to be aimed at regular people playing the game as intended if only in a different way than you like to play.

Who is the real griefer here?

There is no evidence that anyone called Brutor Matar ( a 68 day old player ) has ever been ganked.

Which is so typical of the anti-gank alts here. Again and again these alts come on and whine about ganking, yet you look them up and not one of them has ever actually been ganked.

These people just create alts, pretend the alts were ganked, and then create a ‘woe is me !’ thread where their other alts join in.

Not one of the alts EVER has a killboard ganked record.

two jackdaws ganged up to make it so that i couldn’t save my mtu in my retriever

Let’s not jump on to another thread here dear.

We have a discussion going on the other one , continue it there.

The OP has been provided with all the relevant information. What they choose to do with it is their choice, how the Devs react to their grievances are their choice .

hey, i didn’t say i would, i just said someone else might, i prefer to kill gankers rather than pay them.

Then go do it. You know, “lock ship, open fire!”

Why are you replying to me ?

oh i have, my biggest prize was an osprey navy issue that i killed at jita
