as the title said I got ganked pretty damn good. Which is quite aright I didnt pay attention and I deserved it fully. To my question tho they warped with a fleet of 8 into a veldspar asteroid and shot with 9000 m/s speed into me and bumped me off warp got the kill. Has anyone heard of this before ? I never saw such a thing.
It sounds to me like what he’s saying is that the fleet warped inside the radius of an asteroid, and they were ‘bumped’ out of the asteroid at a high velocity, though I can not be sure and I have never heard of such a thing being done before.
I’ve heard of getting bumped out of objects before, so it doesn’t surprise me that people can get bumped out after they warp into asteroids.
What surprises me is that those 8 ships managed to all land in such a spot that they were all bumped in just the right direction and speed to bump your ship out of warp yet stay in range to kill it.
If that is even possible, I would think it very unlikely.
Can you clarify a bit more about the gank? It’s not this character, so could you tell us the ships the gankers used and which ship(s) did the bumping?
Also, as you say you weren’t paying a lot of attention, is it possible the 9000km/s was their speed while decelerating out of warp to land exactly on top of you because of a cloaked alt or combat probes? That would be a more likely scenario I think.
I have not looked at Gix’s post as I have him blocked, but I would think that the ganker scout bookmarked a roid which he was next to and warped the fleet to that. They could have bounced but the chance of hitting the mining barge like that seems remote and I doubt it was anywhere near the speed suggested.
I would also suggest that there is a question mark on this loss/kill as there is no record of it on this players killboard, though it could have been a mining alt.
As with all such threads, there’s likely a significant degree of dissonance between what the person thinks they saw happen, and what actually did happen.
When I was ganking the STFU alliance on their LowSec moons in Solitude, it would often happen if I warped to a bookmarked rock or a bookmark too close to a rock.
These self-made propaganda posts using alts here and on reddit by Safety. CODE. et al are just… I don’t think there’s a word to describe the level of cringy transparent obviousness… if that’s a word.
Reminds me of the fake ALODs put together by g**ns on the old m****ni . com for fake content.
