What is wrong with a surprise factor? A real one, undetected, under the radar?
There is no counter against it, just poorly executed ganks.
Bro it aināt my fault youāre wrong and you have bad ideas. If you want a reality sim, just follow my instructions 
Hm. Its almost like theres all these other tools to avoid le gank? In fact, thereās literally a way thru Uedama which wonāt get you ganked. Its amazing.
LOL, yes, yes you have. Its ok dude. I know it gets confusing, esp since you donāt play anymore.
There are literally a billion counters listed in this thread. Choose one or several. Kthx. For example, I can get thru Uedama without seeing a single ganker cept at the exit gate as I leave safely. How is this possible? Iāll leave you to figure it out

I donāt know how you can misunderstand what Iām saying so badly.
Solo ganking is still perfectly feasible it just depends what your equation is - not everyone does it for the loot, some do it to griefing, some for the killboard, etc.
What about Ventures has changed? the EHP increase is fairly small and doesnāt look like it would change the equation much - it was always the case that they were pretty easy to kill solo if poorly fit/piloted but realistically would take 2 if they were competently piloted.

No.
A gank is unstoppable.
You cannot count no gank as such.
It is not possible to explain a gank that never happens.
Once locked and fired upon, there is NOTHING to counter it.
Only poorly executed ganks fail. That billion is reduced to zero when the gank is under effect. Donāt insist.
There are a dozen ways through or around Uedama which doesnāt get you gankedā¦ I regularly used to haul expensive stuff to and from wormholes involving going through there and was unmolested.
Are you Dracvlad on another account?

You are definitely the one getting confused there. I have never once claimed that and my experience in the game would kind of indicate it isnāt something I would likely mix upā¦
Something which is going to depend a lot - if the incoming alpha is so high you are dead within 1-2 server frames you are out of luck, a lot of the ganks with a swarm of smaller ships take a bit longer you might possibly be able to rep out of that - though I believe theyāve added diminishing returns to remote reps which makes it a bit harder and good luck if you get a big swarm capable of 50+K DPS - though AFAIK that largely only happens around the events like Burn Eden.
It is a mixed story as to whether you could have avoided putting yourself in that position or not. But personally Iām more about where the road goes from there than stopping people being ganked in the first place.
ā¦but you are not about logging in? Just theorycrafting in the forums?
Broken record much?

Ok Dracvlad.
Keep telling everyone how you would fix the game you donāt play and never intend to play.
I have many alts but Dracvlad is not one of mine.

Nopeā¦ thatās a well executed gank.
Nope, thatās a poorly executed gank combined with a sad target selection.
Again, poor choice of target.
Again, do not insist. Know the game.
If a gank fails it is because of the gank setup, planning, observation, numbers, poor target selection, etc.
There is nothing against it.
Of course you can avoid it. Not only by the exposed reasons, but also by posting on the forums or just not undocking, right?
If you take it to absolutes sure.
Most gank attempts in the game, successful or otherwise, arenāt that level of perfection though and will have holes in the execution because they canāt be bothered to finesse things like whether a pilot might have some esoteric contingency plan, etc. (one of the factors I was able to utilise to avoid being ganked).
When I started this post I did not intend for people to be rude to each other. However this the is real world. In Eve if you are rude you get banned. In real life if you are rude there is a bit more tolerance.
The fact that there are so many comments shows that this topic has some importance. I find it difficult to explain what my real point is, but can narrow it down that Hi-sec ganking is unfair. It is unfair to new players who have no understanding of the mechanic.
It is unfair that gankers can live in a system and freely gank each day over and over because game mechanics allow that. Those pilots become outlaws when their security status falls below a certain level but they can still fly their ships freely and still dock in system to jump into another ship and do it again after the timer wearās off.
On any given day the route from Jita to Amarr can be blocked by gankers in Uedama for those wishing to travel through Hi-sec only. There is no other Hi-sec route.
The penalties for ganking are weak. A lower sec status and a criminal timer and chased by faction police does not prevent them.
As we see with Burn Jita when it is running nothing can save you once you are tackled the mass fleets and DPS give you no time to react even with Concord. How is that fair?
My point is the recompense to gankers is very weak and they abuse this weakness.

Well if your old baseless accusation is proven wrong, feel free to make another one. My CRT idea was said to be a good idea by others in other threads. So have my ideas that you are not even aware of.
If I am just plain wrong about anything here its over-estimating player/ forum user intelligence thinking they could integrate a small terminology change. There I may have made a huge blunder, I admit.
Relatively freely yes. Its a bit like a 10 year old playing tag with their 5 year old sister, but people here will claim the 10 year old is being chased, and therefore is hard pressed to move about. Its hard to tell if that is trolling or an actual brainfart, but its definitely common. The only time I have seen the authorities catch up to an outlaw that was just traveling was when they got warp scrammed by a player. Usually I see them just zipping about with a smile on their face.
That is what you get with a forum largely frequented by peopleās alts - some for good reasons but largely because of the shield it gives them.

You know, you could have saved us all a lot of time and just said you donāt live in reality. A gank is unstoppable? ROFL. Ganks get stopped all the time. There are counters. A ton. They just involve yennoe, playing the game instead of just putting warp to 0 or jump.
So you admit it isnāt a problem and doesnāt need to be changed. Thankee for admitting you were wrong.
LOL sure it was bro. Your CRT idea is way more confusing than what we have now LOL. And totally un-needed. Learn to EVE kthx.
Nah bro, this is my main. Always has been. Come find me Oh wait. You donāt play anymore. Well. I guess this is the closest youāll get to PvP huh?
