The way to antigank is to remove their toys away from the wannbe gankers causing them to mine & build their own to support their ganker lifestyle.
Whatever floats your boat, Frostie. Gankers, Antigankers… all the same to me, just ships to blow up.
I will be home by monday. I want to undock my Talos and throw its weight at someone in Lowsec. Explosions guaranteed
I respect lowsec pvp! +1
I respect all PvP in a PvP game. I just have my preference. I won’t PvP in Hisec because of bull-manure CONCORD ( whoever thought up of CONCORD needs a CAT-Scan ) and I won’t PvP in Null because it’s “sovereign” space and I respect Sovereignty, so I will PvP in Lowsec only.
Exactly where the real 1v1 pvp happens.
im afraid of lowsec cuz no concord to protect me
You could always try NPC 0.0.
I’m sure I shall. I have already scouted down to -0.2.
Are there sovereignties 0.0 sec ? Basically I’m not messing with CONCORD ( cause they’re indestructable ) and I won’t mess with corp/alliances in Null 'cause I don’t need to stir up bad blood with corporations I may join.
No… Horde are open season…
I don’t know about Horde, I don’t think I care enough yet, and I won’t attack for any other purpose or reason but the fun and hell of it. I have a few good ships to sacrifice now. Time to apply what I think I know so far ( or try to ) and see what I’ve actually learned.
I’m still greener than an offshoot but if I don’t go out there and start loosing ships I will miss on important practice that makes perfect.

Not sure what the question is, so going to attempt an answer and you may already know all of this:
There’s “NPC Nullsec” and “Player Sovereignty Nullsec”. Regions can be a mix of both, and DOTLAN is your friend here. Hunting in Nullsec is very different than in Lowsec because of the presence of warp disruption bubbles and folks have very fancy (and effective) tricks with them, such as forcing you to land near the center of a very large bubble as opposed to the edge like normal.
Hunting in NPC Nullsec vs Player Sovereignty Nullsec is very different – and even from Region to Region. This is because of Ansiblex jump gates – people out to hunt you (whether solo, small gang, or response fleets) can “jump around” you to corner you or cut you off. The current meta is to simply to filament out when you’re trapped in system by an outnumbering gang who has bubble-f*ked all the gates, and go hunting elsewhere.
There are entire regions in 0.0 that are not sov space, like Stain for example. I noticed your comment about not wanting to mess with people that you might join, I don’t think you really have to worry about that too much, as long as you act with decorum and respect and maybe give a few sacrificial kills instead of yetting out (filamenting) those people you roam into will like you the only ones who will have an angst with you will be industrialists but then again they are happy to have PvP players join up.
Stain is often controlled by certain 0.0 entities, it used to be Russians, might still be, it used to be that if you were US TZ you could make hay while they were asleep. I would advise Great WIldlands as a good place to dabble in PvP, there are a few entry systems that were camped but after Ebola got weakened less so, there are a few PvP groups looking for hot drop action there however. Still it can be a fun area, the lack of NPC stations does tend to concentrate the action a bit.

@Dracvlad @Io_Koval Thanks for the info! It looks like I will need all the tricks in the bag then some.
I thought as much. I aim to behave as honorably as a pirate may and I’d like to go for military rargets, ships that can shoot back. Although catching a few drowsy miners could be fun.
I am not anti-gank, people who want to be pirates can do so without any issues from me. This is a just psychological social hurdle of “online role-playing”. Most sane people who play PvP, would never pick up a gun and blast on people in real life. People like to wear the “black hat” and that should not be a problem in PvP games. The “handful of wannabe griefers” you speak of are another extension of people playing the “white hat”. What I don’t care to see from the ganker (pirate) community in this game, is bad pirating.
Bad pirates seem to abound in this game, I would think with the years of experience behind them, they would be better at it. Last year for example; I ran into a guy in Low Sec who was very much a role-playing ganker. He hailed me and told me to drop my load or suffer losing my ship. And he stated, I had 10 seconds to comply. Well the problem with his tactic was he failed to scan my cargo hold and if he had, I just got there myself and started mining. I allowed the ship to get toasted. He then started preaching at me out of character, I should have just given him the cargo. Then he offered me to join his corp. so I could learn how to avoid being ganked… I wrote him a polite mail instead explaining the venture is a freebie ship and I didn’t see it was worthwhile, when I could just go get another one. He thought I was upset and continued to recruit me. Even offered me a new venture, I said, no thanks, the cheap mining lasers cost me more than the whole ship.
Another prime example of bad piracy was this morning I was on my free corvette heading to get my Miasmos in Amarr. I saw Ahbazon was full of death and destruction so I diverted to check on Vecamia as an alternate route. As I approached the gate, I could see the ganker scout in their corvette only 11 km off the gate. They stood out like a rash. Maybe he wasn’t doing his job very well, but the gankers on the otherside were just as bad. Sure I lost the corvette, but got my pod through to the station and boarded another. I also warned friends I know in Amarr about the gankers, I believe they passed the word along.
If these people had some smarts about them, they would have remained hidden, the gate spy should be in a venture and appear to be actually doing something, not just sitting still. If they flooded the gate with probes and took up positions outside the probes, I would have just seen the probes on my overview. I would have picked up my Miasmos filled with the Celadon Mykoserocin I mined. Yes, instead I just waited them out and dropped it off in Jita a little bit ago.
So I hope everyone understands, I am not an anti-ganker and I am not against you blasting on my ships. It is just a game after all. But for the love of Amarr, do yourselves a favor and shoot the better ship! Duh!
Have you tried lowsec pirating yourself, with remarkable success and a wealth of knowledge to share at how to become a „good pirate“?
You are just too smart.
Nice of you to offer your corvette to the GANKER GODS rather than just go through in your pod.
Well…so much for ‘bad piracy’. You mean you don’t have a stash of harder to gank shuttles available ? You can fit 2 shuttles inside a Praxis, and I have them placed all over Eve. A boring task that ultimately pays off.
Why should he. The bad pirates are just going to blow it up anyway, better to use the FREE corvette instead of losing 10,000 ISK! The good pirates have already read his mind ten minutes ago and are awaiting him from a deep safe until he is undocking a half bill Fart Freight Miasmos Piñata so they can warp to the station undock and SeBo Baja Blast him with enough Tornadoes like true Mountain Dew Gamers .
