Is there any plans to close the loop hole that is ganking?

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.

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 · February 21, 2018, 6:19pm

Rexxar_Santaro · February 21, 2018, 6:25pm

Nope.

Mayhaw_Morgan · February 21, 2018, 6:26pm

Because life is not fair. Why should EVE be?

Anne_Dieu-le-veut · February 21, 2018, 6:27pm

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.

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 · February 21, 2018, 6:27pm

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

JC_Mieyli · February 21, 2018, 6:28pm

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

Mayhaw_Morgan · February 21, 2018, 6:29pm

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

JC_Mieyli · February 21, 2018, 6:29pm

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

JC_Mieyli · February 21, 2018, 6:30pm

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

Mayhaw_Morgan · February 21, 2018, 6:32pm

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

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

Anne_Dieu-le-veut · February 21, 2018, 6:33pm

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.

JC_Mieyli · February 21, 2018, 6:34pm

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

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

Mayhaw_Morgan · February 21, 2018, 6:37pm

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