Viscous means ‘‘thick’’. Vicious is the word you actually mean but there is a certain irony here.
Things a bit slow in Eve right now with real, for me and corp but had great fun last night in Uedama, failed ganks all over the place , in the week was trying out my little Atron for grabbing cats before they warp, caught Aiko one time but she burned back to the gate before I or concord could kill her, think she repaired and went a different way to the same poor miner and killed him, oh well good practice
BTW if anyone has been killing gankers on their own and wants to join us please do open up a chat if you see me around, we have great intel with scout reporting on fleet status, which helps us get to our positions faster.
If we work together we become so much more effective , like last night😊
Only got on a short time today but was involved in a great freighter save , our logistics pilot called he was out of cap and at that very moment all fire stopped , a great show from many new faces in local , do mail me if you was around at the time and your thoughts , it’s interesting to hear what people thing of the whole show that is Uedama ganking .
Code pilots will need a new script to read from soon, looking forward to what will replace all the fail lines we get ,
AG still failing daily. Never saved a single freighter ever. Pathetic.
and… what is this premise based on?
If the target survives, it must be because of your fault then?..
Like I said that could be a copy and paste post been said 100s of times and now has very little meaning.
AG still failing daily. Never saved a single freighter ever. Pathetic. Always!
So an idea came to me watching Black Flag help the trig in perimeter the other night as trig’s killed countless ships (just to say this is not an anti-black flag dig)
We are planning to setup localised defence fleet for the next time the trig’s try the same thing , battlecruisers with Shields and sniper fit with shield reps logistics and cap chain. If you want to defend the space around jita from trig’s drop me a line .
Can’t expect Edencom forces to be everywhere
slight variation on planned obsolescence?
The pilots who overload value on their freight are the content creators as well. The AG fleets have given people a purpose in game and something to follow just as the Ganksters have a purpose.
Wherever there is a freight to gank there is actually pvp game where 2 fleets can compete and show off their fleet command skills. The OP has actually saved Freights where only 2% hull was remaining which shows there must have been a very tactical battle going on which is exactly what Eve is about. Give respect where it’s due, The Ganksters AND the AG bring good content to the game.
Win or fail, at least they are there trying and getting excited and creating content for others to join, they are learning more and getting closer to their goal of stopping ganksters. They seem to be playing Eve as it was intended.
I’m seriously considering joining the AG fleet, I love a tactical battle!
Yeah, I can see myself within the AG fleet repping armour. This is very cool because the ganksters will never stop ganking frieghts and I suppose freight pilots will never stop overloading their value which means we have a constant level of good tactical content. Someone could also build a decent corp around this content with the members never getting bored!
I’m not against the act, I’m against the principle. You can get the same PvP elsewhere, but without saving ignorant, unaware players from something they don’t need to, or deserve to, be saved from.
What they’re doing is the equivalent of going on a safari, and spooking away all the animals right before the lions go after the antelope that’s straggling at the back of the herd. It’s an act of interference in nature that stems purely from misguided emotions; “that poor antelope is about to get eaten, we need to save it before the lions get it!” Well, no, the lions are part of the ecosystem, and need to eat too.
You actually make an extremely important point here, there is a story about a national park where the wolves were hunted and removed, the result of this was the other wild animals were free to eat away an important plant which kept the streams from flooding, Once the streams flooded which put all the wildlife in danger they realised they had to reintroduce wolves back to the area, the streams stopped flooding,
I would also argue that it is within human nature to protect and educate like one would do with a child. So when some of us see people in distress in game we want to put on our superhero suit and save them. These are normal natural human reactions which I bet the developers knew would kick in when players are faced with certain scenarios.
The emotions you speak of however misguided resulted in a recent freight save where it warped on 2% Hull, The freight pilot must have jumped for joy the second he warped out! He learned a very harsh lesson that day and hopefully made some friends whom he will keep in contact with to hopefully create more content. All of this brings something to the content table.
Guy you know eve players if we clear a sys of gankers and get everyone to fit their ships the right why , we then move on to a new system with in a week the ganker will be back and ships will be overloaded again.
Ganker are not comparable with wolves, it’s more like real cops and robbers , cops chase the robbers , cops make an area safe crime is lowered (like Uedama was this weekend) then some do-gooder says oh we don’t need this many police , cut backs happen and your back to a lawless place
Ganker =wolves what are you thinking ,wolves kill to eat, not for fun or to piss people off or find ways to messup people’s game play just for the hell of it, gankers live very close to the line of permer-ban , many fall below and and have been removed (bonus room and the likes) they are not an apex killers and never will be.
It seems Uedama is a lot safer now , we had very large fleets over the weekend with many ships saved, and loot taken from the gankers them selves. It seems many groups have picked new areas to gank from we will follow and raise up the local people to fight once again .
As I said before a storm is coming and all storms bring change . My words have changed the face of Uedama forever, we will now change other area’s and show high sec our ways.
Long live the fighters…
( Sorry slipped into Dune mode there)
If gankers aren’t wolves, then anti-gankers aren’t cops. Cops get paid.
Also, I wouldn’t call killing fat freighters or loaded mission boats “just for the hell of it.” Miners, sure, but with expensive targets, there’s a definite profit motive in mind, making the relationship a much closer analog of the predator/prey relationship you can find in nature.
The fundamental reason why you do this comes down to enjoyment. You enjoy the reactions and consequences that your actions lead to. In that regard, you’re actually no different from the gankers themselves. It’s a bit hypocritical to criticize gankers for killing “for fun” when you do the exact same thing to them for the exact same reason. Don’t get me wrong, you absolutely have the right to do this, but let’s call a spade a spade.
They have forfeit the right to be safe in high sec and need to be hunted , of course I’m going to have fun killing them, they are Eve’s elite pvp’ers or so they say but I’m not kill miners or cargo ships for the hell of it (Kusion ganking empty frieghters)
Hypocrite will just be another word I have been called , mostly by gankers and supporters for messing with there game play. We are just doing what’s been available for players to do for a very long time but the gankers have kept players down with fear and intimidation. Eve is a big place ,if we ever beat the gankers back I’m sure we will find other targets .
And where is Aiko of later , I can’t find any trace of my nemesis , maybe on holiday or gone the way of James …
You are such a meanie… killing the fun of those gankers
Im just happy someone actually proved getting off their ass and doing stuff was possible.
Youve made a mockery of “there’s no counterplay” arguments and thats a worthy achievement.
Someone referred to anti-gank channels in the in-game chat. What are they? Are there more than one?
Theres the Anti-Gank intel channel and the Anti-Gank info channel.
Alas I cannot remember their exact names, but someone here will know em Im sure.
