If what you say is true, you'll be able to spin up a capable gank pilot within a few days, and you should have no problem killing my tanked DST or blockade runner. You pick the trade hub, my cargo, and the destination. I'll choose how to get there.
I think you would find it isn't as easy as you think... When your dealing with someone who knows how to tank, uses bookmarks, and watches for obvious scouts. Lol. So because a pilot can defend against a gank, that suddenly means it's difficult to be a ganker? There's absolutely no consequences to being a ganker. The things they say, "ooh, you can be a villain, but then you'll have low sec status!", who cares? Sec status is completely irrelevant except to make kill rights completely pointless, and when you're bored of ganking, you no longer need to rat to get it back to positive. Bounties are beyond a joke too. I think you may have got yourself confused, so let me clear it up. I'm not saying every gank is easy, what I'm saying is that the choice of becoming a ganker is easy and easy to undo. I believe that when you make choices like that, you should commit to it, and there should be negatives as well as positives to making that choice. That should be the same with every choice in the game.
when a ganker kills someone, ganking is too easy. when a ganker cant kill someone its irrelevant and doesnt mean ganking is balanced. player choives should be removed from the equation unless their choices prove my point. lucaslogictm. Epic Space Cat |

It's always been this way. Gankers are totally irrelevant and have no impact on anything in the game, they need to be nerfed because of the tremendous impact they have on the game.
Cognitive dissonance is a scary thing. It isn't really hard, but I think there are customers that you can lose in a good way and there's customers that you can lose in a bad way. If people come in and fundamentally don't like EVE Online, then I think that might be a good way of losing customers. . -á--CCP Soundwave |

I just reread this and perhaps you are right! No more NPC criminals with bounties in high sec either. No more missions in high sec! Let's not ruin the realism of this advanced society you speak of eh? All that stuff can be moved to low sec.
This is a really good idea OP. |

However we all know that CCP will not ever do anything to make ganking better for the ganker. They will only ever nerf it, make it more difficult, more expensive and increase the negative consequences, because apparently carebears are the only people in high sec whose opinions on pvp matter.
Sadly, I fear you are correct. I play eve to kill things, that's my only reason here. I am not even a ganker as it's not my cup of tea. But, I feel very strongly against turning this into wow in space. IMO it's already there, but there's only so much that can be done when 90% of the people in the world want some "daddy" entity to take care of them and not have to work for anything. It won't turn around until people want it to turn around. Those people also won't want it to turn around while daddy is coddling them and enabling the attitude. It's circular logic that will remain in place until it's more profitable to stop coddling the wimps. |

Lock all guns while in Hi-Sec. You can't shoot, nobody can shoot you. Totally safe.
To balance things out though... move ALL ore except Trit to low/null. Nerf trit amounts in hi-sec... if your going to mine afk, time does not matter anymore. A safe society cost ISK to maintain, therefore all NPC corps need to raise taxes to 75%. Increase cost also on all transactions in Hi-Sec. Safety is not cheap.
Of course trade hubs will move to where the product is...

Just put a moratorium on activation of any high slot module. Heck don't even have to do any special code or mechanic changes. Tie all highslot modules to the safety system. If you turn one on, be it a miner, gun, or link then you go suspect. Problems are all solved. |

Or maybe we should just get rid of Hi-Sec altogether? It's time the empires went to war anyway.

I agree with OP....there need to be much harsher punishments for career -10 sec status suicide gankers, beyond a 15 minute timeout. The aggression timer should be based on ganking history and sec status, resulting in longer penalties for career gankers. |

No.
They are -10. Go kill them. Don't ask CCP to do your work for you.

Killing -10 gankalysts is useless. They are cheap ships that the gankers expect to lose - setting them back 5 mil or so accomplishes nothing. Every 15 minutes they can gank again with the consequences. The whole system is broken. |

Unless you kill enough of their paper thin ships to stop a gank. Which is pretty easy in a rail fit Moa, by the way.
The system is not broken, what is "broken" is **** poor attitudes like yours, where you want the goddamned NPCs to do your job for you.
Stop being lazy, stop being so risk averse, and go out there and do what you are supposed to do in a PvP game. "Verily, I have often laughed at the weaklings who thought themselves good because they had no claws."

They are not brain dead. They use neutral scouts to pick out targets, and will primary DPS ships that try to intervene. How long is your rail fit moa gonna survive when 5 T2 catalysts land on top of it?
What is broken is the fact that criminals can run freely around high security space with nothing more than a 15 minute timeout, regardless of how much carnage they cause. The suicide gankers are the risk averse ones, their exposure is capped at the cost of their cheap gank ship. Everyone else who flies ships that are worth something, and have a purpose beyond suicide ganking, are the real risk takers. |

Since that's not actually the case, I have no idea what you think you're talking about.

No, that's called smart gameplay, and mitigating costs. You don't get to equate your sad, maladjusted risk aversion with smart gameplay, there is no equivalency here. "Verily, I have often laughed at the weaklings who thought themselves good because they had no claws."

so let me get this straight, you're basically saying that suicide gankers are smart for using the tools available to them, while the victims are stupid for not using the same tools that are also available to them? |

If suicide ganking was truly as big an issue as some people are insisting, a move to low-sec would allow them to operate safely. There is no suicide ganking outside of high-security space.
Only incompetent or lazy capsuleers lose their ships to suicide ganks and then seek a solution that doesn't require them to apply their brain. (a¦á_a¦â) ~ It Takes a Million Years to Become Diamonds So Lets Just Burn Like Coal Until the Sky's Black ~ (a¦á_a¦â) |

You have said repeatedly that you will only engage with someone who is already under fire from CONCORD, you have also stated you are proactive in terms of ganking avoidance, what risks are you talking about again? =]I[= |

You seem to be saying the counter to a ganker is sitting in a Moa all day waiting for ganker to be stupid enough to gank in range of your Moa. Not that I am saying that gankers aren't stupid but to me waiting around all day for a 20sec engagement with a ganker doesn't sound like 'fun'.
Out of interest how many gankers have you caught using this method as it seems sub-par for so many reasons? Also you also seem to fail to recognise that ganking is totally risk adverse as you know exactly how much each gank will cost (or if you get your ships reimbursed it should cost 0isk). |

By definition, "risk averse" does not apply to ganking. "Verily, I have often laughed at the weaklings who thought themselves good because they had no claws."
