Module that makes ganking, different

EVE Technology and Research Center Player Features & Ideas
1

Ganking is and will always be part of eve. But there should be play and counter play. Currently, the gankers have the upper hand on everything. But there should be a module, this module would be named - M.A.D.

The mutually assured destruction module would be a low slot item, that when activated assures that everything inside the ship is destroyed when the ship dies.

This promotes not afking with expensive cargo, because if you are getting ganked you can deny the gankers. This would make ganking less rewarding for the isk loss.

IN ADDITION this would remove more modules out of the game as EVERYTHING dies (Including the wreck). It rewards players who are actively piloting their ship, and makes ganking a tactical gameplay instead of race concord.

The module would be a low slot module. Have no other benefits except maybe a 25% chance for it to activate on destruction at lvl 5 if the module is not active and a 100% chance when active for 15 seconds.

I guess you have not yet wound your brain around the concept of ganking empty freighters - just because…

Gankers don’t care primarily for the cargo, but also for the value destroyed for their statistics boards and also for tears ofc.

then you would have no objection to the module existing? Gankers won’t care after all.

To be honest, I HAVE brought this proposal to CCP in the past (although I called it the Freight Unrecoverable module FU for short) and they did not choose to go with it.

:grin: FU - I love it.

I saw one of the regular veterans here made a YouTube video ( too lazy to look it up ) about butt hurting a ganker currently in game. He camped a ganker in Jita in a small but powerful destroyer. As soon as the ganker blew the hauler, he shoots the wreck destroying the drop. The ganker loses a ship, the player making the video lost his destroyer and the cargo is FUBAR.

So if you don’t mind losing a destroyer in HS, then you can make the gankers lose the cargo too. HS gankers are all about the cargo, they normally have an alt in a hauler nearby, but if you have the range, your shots travel faster than their hauler.

Be alert and fly safe o7
