Nerf Ganking Megathread

The only way to escape gravity is to go out in outer space :smiley:
Even probing 63 sigs in a Sentinel hole is refreshing by comparison, and that’s saying something, lol.

I feel compelled to respond to lies. So just stop telling them. Simple solution…eh.

Cant… gravity too heavy… Procrastination…thief of time… Bleh

Yeah, and in pulling as much data as possible over the last week, there’s not a lot of confidence that an objective, reasonable analysis can be completed by anyone short of CCP (which is extremely unlikely of them to publish).

Taking just Ventures as one example, there is a lot of data, but also a lot never made public.

It’s 129 MB for anyone that wants to download it and cut it how they like (and so far approaching 4GB working through all T1 frigates).

Even with that much total data (109,304 total highsec killmails for the Venture), drawing conclusions that don’t have a huge error margin is difficult because of the bits of data missing.

The best so far is just some very general analysis:

But otherwise, the only reasonable conclusion appears to be - anyone who claims to know the facts and what the truth is for smaller ships, is talking out their arse.

That isn’t actually happening :smiley:

It is an open PvP world where you consent to PvP as soon as you undock. It is the literal game they signed up to play LOL.

Still is for profit bruv :smiley:

Knew this already :smiley:

That looks like a cup in a plate to me.

Indeed..it is crazy that people complain about PvP in a PvP game. There is no separate ‘PvE space’ in Eve…nor is there intended to be. The act of undocking is consent to PvP. Lucas blathering on about ‘forced PvP’ hasn’t a clue what he is on about.

Noobs are already protected in no less than 35 systems. Once they start venturing into 0.6 and 0.5 systems far from the protected areas then they are fair game. I occasionally see cases where I give a miner ISK for a new ship…but really it is better to do what I did yesterday and point them in the direction of a good corp where they can learn the ropes.

Eve is a dangerous place. The adverts even state so. In fact one advert ( that I seem to get every 5 minutes in Youtube ) specifically mentions ganking…and in the context of new players. Most of the adverts point out the danger of Eve. NONE of them advertise it as a safe, Teletubbie Carebear Mining & Hauling similation.

Thats clearly a cup ON a saucer, and clearly a rig being towed out to sea by tugs, plus theres literally no shipyard in that picture.

I think the reason we say in a saucer here is because of the indented area designed for the tea cup to sit snuggly in so it doesn’t slide about sloshing tea.

Where is the here?

Im in Ireand and UK and Ive never heard of “in” a saucer

No. It’s a cup, in a plate. Notice how the edges of the plate bow up?

Ya.

A cup, in a plate.

Also, this conversation is far more interesting than the normal ganking/anti ganking trite found here.

No, U.

Good comeback garth.

My opposition defiance says you’re wrong, and that comeback was the best.

LOL. Not the same character Sherlock Holmes. Do a little research next time.

I have figures to prove you incorrect, but they arent available and I dont feel like showing them.

In before “I disagree”

I do tend to keep an eye on what the response rate and 5% has been the norm for quite a while. Although if you get two speaking up and chatting it can snowball and draw others in and the rate jumps.

This is something I really would like to see is an increase in local engagement. Although right now I am on ‘holiday’ and the Bus is on a slight break for a few more days.
