Nerf Ganking Megathread

I don’t think ganking is an issue but i had an idea, seen as this eternal regurgitation is in my face daily.

What if tackle mods had a cooldown?

web tech 1 - 20 seconds active, 30 seconds cooldown
tech 2 - 30 seconds active, 40 seconds cooldown

Pretty much same deal with disruptor.

What if scramblers used charges?

Use 2 of a mod to really specialise in that area and negate cooldowns, or cooperate with your fellow gankers to cycle through eachothers cooldowns.

This would at least give the ganked a sense of “fairness” and they’d stfu.

Also the scrambler charges would add to the market and industry.

I would somewhat agree with this however before I engage in this conversation I need to know you actually know what you are talking about, that you know what current punishments for illegall shooting in highsec are. Can you tell me?

I am asking because every single person who ever came into this forum saying this didn’t actually know this which was apparent from their suggestions like “allow players to shoot them anytime” lol.

And even if it was like you say it is, right now there should be a buff to the ganking not another unjustified nerf. So the suggestion to make punishment for suicide ganking should come with a compensation buff elsewhere.

It’s not just gankers you’re affecting with that.

What if all slots excluding fitted rigs had a cooldown?

Now that way a pilot doesn’t just access a mobile deport and swap out the items to reset the timer.

Slot timer or module timer or something something will find the balance we need.

No. I think I know what he wants. He wants them to flash in local. Even the bland overview that game comes with has criminals flashing red and suspects flashing yellow. But they don’t flash in local even if they are -10. So it doesn’t give him free intel before they arrive if he don’t know them yet.

And I have no problems with doing this. If compensated by some small buff of course… :smiley:

I’m just chucking the idea out there. It is merely a passing thought. If i took it seriously I’d simply pass it on to ccp and skip the arguments :laughing:

So why posting into this thread then? Why is every gank-hater who wants to nerf ganking always starting with sentence like this? And then proceeds to suggest something that nuke ganking out of the game or in your case doesn’t affect ganking at all because you clearly have no idea how ganking works.

I don’t know what is your idea supposed to do other than nerf 1v1 brawls and lowsec pvp where it grants players ability to always run away from the fight if they survive 20 seconds. All they have to do is to align to celestial, and wait, if they survive 20 seconds instawarp away. Sure this can be countered to some extend, but just… why??? I don’t get it.

And again. This doesn’t affect gankers in any way. You know why? Because concord arrives and kill our ship before that point expires. Terrible suggestion 1/10, next time try actually explain why you are suggesting for and what it is supposed to fix/improve.

I don’t have any problem with ganking, it’s a legitimate part of the game, BUT…

Glad I wasn’t stupid enough to give you isk only to have you back out now?

Isn’t ganking law enforcement? I thought they are the good guys. :upside_down_face:

4962

Point out anyone who doesn’t have their wallet 1st in this game now.

4963

Hilmar only has the health of the game in his mind, never thinks of lowly matters such as wallet. :upside_down_face:

4964

Now you’re just poking me for fun!

I really thought jj was Xeux but now I’m not so sure. I never saw her compromise on anything before.

4965

That’s bait :laughing:

4966

Yeah it’s a conspiracy. Everyone is out to nerf ganking. Even the nerf gankers don’t know who’s trying to get ganking nerfed. There are hordes and hordes of ner gankers hiding in the shadows just waiting to nerf ganking.

The oppression is real :laughing:

I don’t like the idea of g

If there was a vote tomorrow for the new map to be tested on Singularity I would try it and afterwards give an honest opinion that Low Sec is where the pvp should start with Faction Warfare.

4968

Low sec is aleady pretty much where the pvp starts with fw.

Whoa that Aiko looks massively hungover.
