Nerf Ganking Megathread

I hope so

Trends have pointed to solo being squeezed out

You can train up a Gnosis to have 400 DPS and 90K of EHP in just 14 days. I regularly use just such an Alpha alt to haul ammo, turrets, shields, yada yada in relative safety when my main account is wardeced. It’s got enough tank that it will get past most gankers. In fact I was surprised just how quickly I could get a good Gnosis up and running.

Question:
Mechanically speaking, how would CCP achieve this?

They would have to make said ships immune to damage that would trigger a CONCORD response. Just making them untargetable would not be enough when smartbombs could be used to destroy them without a target lock. Failing to factor in CONCORD would make ships potentially immune to damage in duels, wardecs, or from NPCs.

It seems like it could be done, but I still think it would be much better left undone.

Im SURE it could be gamed to have a fleet of unkillable Kestrels or something.

I have no doubt that invincible ships of any kind will be gamed. I’d be hauling all my expensive BPOs that way, had I not given them away already.

After we make frigates invulnerable, should we also make cruisers invulnerable?

Newbro cruisers also need protection.

Excellent.

Yup gets my vote.

I would haul thousands of PLEX back and forth (or just fly around casually) in an invincible frigate just for the sake of taunting them. :smirk: :smiling_imp: :popcorn: :innocent:

I would expect no less of you, and something twice as devious after you’d had more time to think about it.

If Kestrels had their old cargo space back imagine…

Hauling around T2 frigates in T1 frigates lol

Oh oh question

Would it affect NPCs that gank?

And if not, why not?

Hopefully not. Diamond rats especially still should pose a threat.

Eh I think theyd have more but thats not what we are into right now.

Shame, I bet there would still be a lobby for it to be extended to cover Trigs, Diamond Rats etc.

Those guys literally cheat.

I assume this means suspect baiting would still work.

As long as whales still get ganked and noobs get cut in half I reckon I can live with that.

I still think coming out of an Abyssal should negate it.

I made this for my Venture fit, I’ll use it to haul purple mods and a little mining when I am in the mood. It’s a billion isk, but a good investment for a free invulnerable ship.

Congratulations on knowing your idea will never be implemented.

:wink:
