If I ever see Cilly mining, I will absolutely go out of my way to gank that one. So you have the most active miner ganker in the game, and leader of the largest ganking alliance in the game, who will specifically target and gank this miner… and yet they haven’t been ganked, because it’s easy to avoid ganks.
Protip: Don’t mine in Isanamo. That’s half the battle!
But it’s also not evidence of anything in this thread. All it’s evidence of is that you personally haven’t been ganked while mining.
Just look at the killboards. There are countless people for whom that is not their experience.
You said it’s easy to avoid ganks, and now you are arguing the opposite?
Bring it on ! I love a challenge. This is what Eve is all about…not whiny people moaning that their 2 pence worth of Venture got blapped and now they have to have post traumatic hypnotherapy counselling alongside alien abduction victims and former flat earthers.
Using methods anyone can use…and which have been posted several dozen times in this thread alone. Sheesh…do you practice having the blindingly obvious go ‘woooosh’ right over your head, or does it just come naturally ?
You invited yourself to this discussion, feel free to leave any time you want. For me, the massive-multiboxing-ganks taking place in Uedama/Sivala under the noses of FacPol and CONCORD are the main content I want to see fixed.
All your “solutions” don’t work, else people would do them. Besides that, I don’t see you in your ArtyLoki in Uedama risking some hundred Million ISK to get a Catalyst once in a while. I used all kind of ships, from cheap ones to expensive ones to do what you only talk about. One stupid Heron that ■■■■■■ up doesn’t change that.
I count on your word!
Haha yeah. You know nothing Jon Snow.
So you want it to be easier to kill freighters?
No, I think it is already easy enough to kill expensive ships with cheap ships. FacPol and CONCORD should simply reinforce and blow up any station harbouring criminals. For harbouring criminals. I am pretty sure the owners of such stations would disallow docking for these criminals regardless of standing all by themselves right after such an announcement.
That sounds simple, but why should NPCs replace the players?
Do it yourself if you want.
There were THREE freighter ganks in August for Sivala/Uedama using fleets of 12, 18 and 24 gankers. Not exactly the “massive-multiboxing” “53 Catalysts” fleets that you mentioned. But let’s not dwell on facts when you have an agenda to push. 
It’s an immersion thingy. Feels just ridiculous seeing an armada of hightech NPC battleships paid by the nearly almighty Empires unable do their job because some little Corp says “no, we like them!”. Corp should be kicked deep into the nuts by the Empire for doing so. Can leav this Empire if unhappy any time, of course.
Didn’t you say you want to stay out of this discussion? What kind of guy are you, not even keeping your word?
From an immersion standpoint, CONCORD is pretty game breaking. An unlimited number of invincible ships that appear in less than a minute with insta blap weapons that, unless one capsuleer aggresses another illegally, just twiddle their thumbs and let all the other pirate factions/triglavians run rampant. That makes no sense to me.
Sec status goes down only for aggressing Capsuleers, the empires have no reason to care about sec status like other Capsuleers might. Capsuleers can’t even be killed, and the more they die the more taxes they collect in their stations from new equipment purchases.
Why not simply address the point he makes?
Not really. I have seen BlackOps drops faster than 25 seconds.
Also CONCORD has access to Technology by far more advanced than player ships. I wouldn’t make them “invincible” at all by game design, just so tough that players can’t beat them anyway (incredibly superior tech, u know?)
Thats why CONCORD was invented, to make sure the Empires can enforce their law even on Capsuleers. FacPol is going after NPC Pirate factions, blame them for not doing their Job properly (or being funded too badly :O)
Fair point, but then why having laws about Capsuleer Combat at all? Seems to me like a game design decision to have something like that in HighSec. And under these condions the Empires absolutely care what Capsuleers do and should enforce their laws with absolute power.
What point? It really does not matter if they use 15, 25, 35 or 45 Catalysts, they are 90% just multiboxed alts and they use so much as they think they need to bring down the target plus some reserve. And if you come with a DPS ship, an ECM ship or an RR ship they usually don’t need to care because you make nearly no impact at all. Either they simply use some more, because, well they are all just alts and the Catalysts are cheap. Or they gank the target at another gate, since you never can cover all of them, you will mostly come too late since you cannot know which target they will chose and where they will gank it. Besides that, there are ganks even in the last few days where they used up to 40 ships, so what really is his point? The Ganks in random belts somewhere in the region you cannot really stop anyway since you don’t know where they will gank and it’s impossible to camp them in in any even remotely efficient way.
They do.
I disagree. Else they would blow up anyone harbouring criminals that try to hide from their forces.
Clearly that isn’t true, because they don’t.
Gankers can even set CONCORD stations are their home station and reanimate there if podded while on a criminal timer.
Yet, the Empires do enforce their laws with absolute power.
What you are talking about isn’t one of their laws.
Yeah you are right, its not true that they enforce their laws with absolute power on criminals. Because they don’t blow up stations that are harbouring them.
So you think the galactic police force would blow up a station with countless innocent bystanders etc just because a single ganker was docked?
