The only thing Red frog does is that they formalize the service and have a good reputation. The whole hauling part is done via NPC alts and game mechanic wise there is absolutely no difference than if you are hauling as an individual player.
There is nothing stopping you from flying smart and managing risk like red frog does! There is nothing in this game mechanics that benefits “the big guy”.
you high sec carebears are really selfish, self-centered people who fail at ideas for game policy, fail at thought on other areas of the game universe and probably come short in many other ways too.
please stop thinking of new things i don’t want you to have an aneurysm
TL;DR: “Build a wall and make the gankers pay for it.”
The solution to the empire ganking trend is for everyone in highsec to buy a mining permit and follow the code. If every capsuleer were to be compliant with the new halaima code of conduct there would be no need to enforce the code.
'>.> if you follow code then for the most part you shouldn’t be getting ganked even without a permit. cut through all the rp crap and its basically just a how to not die tutorial.
It does not hurt to get a permit and praise the Saviour though.
just pointing out how amazing it is so many people get pissed off when some one kills them and then essentially points them to a page that says “hey this is how you keep it from happening again”
1- link the lossmail
2- there’s a gazillion threads with ways to avoid ganks, starts there
3- ??
4- profit
I think this is one of the best analogies I’ve read.
The only trend that ganking has is one of decline.
Concord kill everyone involved in a gank, with very few exceptions where other game mechanics kill the ganker within a few seconds of gaining a criminal flag; they currently kill fewer people than they have done at any time in the past
so lets do the math.
The most recent gank by the kusions was a rhea. 26 people on the killmail.
So thats 16 tech 2 catalysts, each around 10 mill isk. 9 tech 2 stealth bombers at around 50 mill. A total of 610 mill used for a gank.
he got only 700 in drop, so he made 90 or so million in profit.
Thats it. He has to coordinate 25 characters and pay each account. 25 characters. Individually. All for a mere 90 mill in profit. He could make 3 times that in mining for an hour.
You ask, wheres the risk for the ganker. I ask, wheres the effort from the freighter pilot? Coordinating 25 accounts simultaneously versus one afk freighter pilot. Risk can be mitigated by effort. The ganker puts a ton of effort, while the freighter pilot puts none.
Plus the looter and the scouts finding targets. The whole operation is larger than just the shooting. The gank starts before and the whole process ends way after.
How do you wardec npc corporation?
Welcome to an MMO.
Spoiler alert. Solo is hard, being with friends is more safer and lucrative.
Tbh so did I, then I got around to changing my pants and that one fell on the floor.
I looked down at it, it looked up at me. We shared a beautiful moment. It was like finding $5 in an old coat, but with far more emotional content.
More next month, when I change my pants again.
So, given that a good pair of boots with the addition of some gardening chaps would protect me from scorpions, what would be the anti ganking equivalent?
Bubblewrap
Not good enough. The guy’s hands and face are exposed. You need a shot of a guy in a space suit. i.e. an unbreakable tank.
Assless chaps? reminds me of something to do with Trannys…
Chaps are assless by design, you’re meant to wear other garments beneath them.
