However, its far too easy and the billions of ISK earned by ganking is rather unbalanced.

Is there any plans to make this part of the game come more inline with other mechanics such as jump fatigue since for me, this is type of game play should have similar consequences?

I’m not a ganker (well I tried to gank a bot once - didn’t work, and CONCORD killed me). And I’ve been a victim of ganks. Having said that, I’m not sure why special in-game mechanics are needed to deal with ganking. You are essentially saying special mechanics are needed to deal with players shooting other players’ ships.

so am I wife say’s i’ll never grow up…just turned 67 yesterday…keep the laughs comming

[JC_Mieyli]

thats cool happy birthday and hope more oldies come to the game

[Pretentious_Knob]

I have been ganked in an empty freighter.
It sucked at the time but made me change my game play. It will never go away.

[Fred_VonStraine]

Nope.

@JC_Mieyli

why should a single dumb player have the power to subvert the efforts of multiple experienced and organised players

Because life is not fair. Why should EVE be?

[Anne_Dieu-le-veut]

What loophole? I love when people claim to think ganking in most instances is fine, but offer a change that would drastically interfere with ganking. Just man up and admit you want to see ganking banned.

@Rivr_Luzade

In order to bring ganking closer to the general Risk vs. Reward mantra one step would be to deny any criminal or pirate docking in NPC stations.

Honestly, I could see a change not allowing pods with active criminal timers from docking in NPC stations, but not allowing -5s or worse to dock wouldn’t really make sense. The criminal’s ISK is just as good as anyone elses’ to the Empires’ treasuries. Criminals IRL are still allowed to go to the mall and buy stuff.

[Fred_VonStraine]

will do I’ll put you on my friends list do the same for me if you care to…buy the buy take a look at my idea for new event if you like the idea spread the word it would be appreciated

and if one player can destroy the efforts of 50
how do you think that will scale when you have 50 of those group together

Not at all. Dumb people like me don’t group together.

pretty sure they cant
gotta sit on a safe spot till the timer runs down iirc

[JC_Mieyli]

but will still get wrecked by players who do
not sure how to feel about this post

You recall incorrectly. Criminal capsules can dock once their weapons and session timers have expired. 60 seconds, maximum.

@JC_Mieyli

Not if 1 dumb player like me “can destroy the efforts of 50”.

Pretty sure I saw a red flashy in a NPC station yesterday. What they do is dock in a station with their flashy pod and (generally) nothing else to get a free rookie ship, then undock in the rookie ship to pull CONCORD, wait for CONCORD to explode the rookie ship, then redock until criminal timer expires.

my mistake been a while since i went red blinky i thought you had to wait for red blink to run out before docking

@Mayhaw_Morgan

yeah but each of those players will also be capable of wrecking the fforts of 50
balance remember

So, which is it? Do 50 wreck 1 or does 1 wreck 50?
