Retrievers are easy targets. Literally anyone could put an end to that operation. I’ve got one in my home system that multi-boxes 14 well-tanked Skiffs, an Orca, and a freighter. It would take a fleet of 200 ships to take that one out. I just bump him endlessly whenever I see him in system until he gives up and logs out.
The Citadel situation is being dealt with. It’s a bit easier since it must be owned by an entity subject to war decs. They’re owned by one-man corps believed to be the multi-boxer’s alts.
His fleet is the problem. With ice prices high as they are now, T1 mining barges are basically disposable, so discouraging a multi-boxer like this takes more than knocking off one or two at a time.
Mercs can fly suicide gank ships just as easily as code and goons. Some mercs will care about their sec status… some won’t.
Arguably, the profitability of an op like this is straightforward for the mercs. They get ISK for taking the contract, and then they bring a hauler to scoop whatever drops.
The math is even fairly easy, because one can generally know reasonably well what it would take to gank all of that. Once you know the cost, you can quote a price to the OP.
Edit:
â– â– â– â– me, I just replied to a month old thread. Sorry folks. Pointless bump.
Don’t use RIOT, they seem to have troubles sorting out who to dec and will probably end up dec’ing you, Azazul (aka Lolicopter Boi) still hasn’t sorted out the basics…
