Not always possible to find a hard counter while continuing the same business - but I did adapt. I was ganked Ice Mining in a Retriever - everyone else was in Procurers. I moved to using Procurers and Skiffs for mining after that - so, yes I did change to something that resisted gankers, but not really a counter. So saying, I don’t ice mine anymore - it’s riskier for me, it’s time consuming, so I’d rather pay others for the ice. I found a better use of my time. The important thing is to learn and adapt - as you (and I) did. Don’t let them stop you, don’t rage and give them satisfaction - just don’t give them the second chance. Oh, and if as a side effect you can give them a bloody nose in response all the better. I fly with a group that does that to hi-sec wardeccing camping groups. Rather satisfying when they realise they tried eating a wasp. I commend you for your approach. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/what-ships-are-the-best-for-soldiers-of-fortune/371154)._
