I played back in the day. 2012/13. Back then, can flipping was in its hayday. Great times. They ruined it (not going to get into details). Took a break. Came back with a vengeance. Started wardeccing indy corps and hunting across high sec. Amazing time. They ruined it. Poked my head in a few years ago. Wardecced some indy corps. They all dropped corp and sat in their POS. So fun. With everything being so easy for solo indy players, with a ton of carebear concession mechanics… how is it done these days? Is ganking in 2022 just suicide ganking or lazy gatecamps? Is there any hunting anymore? Can you still only wardec corps for a week at a time? Whats the current state of ganking? ---

You can wardec the structures and annihilate them one-by-one. Occasionally you will even find an abandoned one that drops treasure. ---

Yes, I need to get back on this game, but if its riddled with encumbering BS, I just can’t do it. I want to hunt baby. I used to love flying out 40 jumps because a spy told me a WT was out mining in a juicy ship. Still chubs me up. ---

Some friendly advice on which systems to look it would be nice. Where are popular mining spots these days? Trade routes? I mean are you talking low or Hi sec PvP? If you want to hunt ships, you need to go to low but targets are sparse. ---

> [@Lennox Dantes](#): > > I always enjoyed High Sec hunting. Is it dead? There’s a very rare breed of people that are based in L4 mission hub systems, keep track of who is in a battleship undocking while observing the station, they then look for MTUs in neighboring systems, warp in and proceed to suspect bait their targets. Edit: With jetcan mining mostly gone (fond memories of my first can being flipped by a Hyperion) it seems MTUs are the only way to suspect bait in high sec these days. Edit x2: It also seems like there are way fewer people that spam duels to undocking ships these days. ---
