A few days ago, I tried to suicide a Covetor in a Drake, no matter how many rigs I put on it, or how many millions I spend on my passive setup, I just can't tank concord long enough for HAMs to drop a covetor.
Seriously, if CCP don't fix this bloody menace they call Concord, how are we supposed to suicide ANYTHING?
I suppose some bright spark flamer will say "duh... bring friends" but I don't want to. I'm lazy. I just want to whine and hopefully CCP will do what "I" want them to.

It's clearly a parody of the carebear whines, and highlights a hilarious difference in the way lawful and lawless players are perceived, despite both being perfectly valid playstyles. __________ If you think the game is rigged, why are you still playing? |

You may have noticed I cleverly inserted a pop at the "Nerf the Passive Drake" crowd in so much as a passive drake couldn't kill a kitten.

Oh I know that all too well, I got rid of my passive Drake long ago in favour of a Myrmidon. Now there's a fine ship __________ If you think the game is rigged, why are you still playing? |

Here's a neat trick:
The drake has a 30m drone bay. Have a friend in a dominix launch a rack of Sentry Drones and warp away from them. One at a time, scoop them into your drone bay and deploy them into space.
Voila! You now control 5 sentry drones in addition to your highslot armaments!

Yup it does work, happened to me on sisi where an atron flying out 5 light TII drones got me :)
Nasty trick but takes a bit of effort to setup.

So all these "get rid of insurance for suicide ganker" threads are pointless. Cause all the gankers need do is use a Vexor instead of a Dominix and the loss will be less.
I'm not a drone user. So I could be wrong, but the bonii on Vexor make it look as good.

You can take out a covetor with a destroyer before concord takes you out.

If it weren't for all these "get rid of suicide gankers" threads this little tidbit of innovation would never have been shared, and highsec would have remained as safe as it has ever been.
The only thing these exploit-complaint threads accomplish is to disseminate to anyone reading the exact details behind a certain questionable style of gameplay. The more information they have on the details, the more likely it is that they will try it for themselves.
It happened this way years ago with bookmark escrow scamming. It happened with lowsec gate piracy. It happened with highsec suicide ganking. It will happen again the next time a crafty individual finds a way to take advantage of ignorance for personal profit.

i am not sure if your serius.. but if you are then this is just one more tread showing that people in eve are too ******** to figure out what an exploit is.... so i vote for ccp to make it impossible to target non alliance/wartarget in high sec and at gates in low sec.µ this way totally preventing stupid people from exploiting the game mechanics.
only solution i can see with ******s this stupid ;)

Try that in 0.8. I'm the one that popularized the 8 neutron, 3 mag field stabilizer Catalyst on macrointel a long time ago. It's good enough for a Covetor in 0.5, good enough for a retriever in 0.7, certainly not for a Covetor in 0.8. (and we assume the standard civilian shield booster macroer setup, a damage control will usually be enough to protect you from a suicide gank).
Some old kills, I stopped providing free intel |

You are aware that a 10k ISK module (Damage Control I) make suiciding barges way less economicaly viable? If you are greedy and prefer a cargo expander (please make it a Local Hull or T2 please, there's a chance it won't blow up) or mining upgrade (they are worthless, please fit an expensive cargo expander instead) you are setting yourself up to be suicide ganked. If you need help for a reasonably tanky setup for your barges and indies hop by the ship and setups forums, nasty PvPers will likely provide you helpful advice.
Suiciding is a side effect of people greed, the victims trying to increase their profit by foregoing any security measure and the ebil people seeing an easy profit opportunity. Some old kills, I stopped providing free intel |

Wow you thought of putting 8 guns and 3 damage mods on a ship that has 8 turret hardpoints and 3 low slots. OMG I bow to your mighty eve knowledge. Did you come up with the idea to put 6 launchers on a raven too? Oh Oh what about mounting lasers on Amarr ships is that you to?

I don't remember seeing your worthless name on macrointel at the time. Perhaps try reading instead of writing in future?

Yeah I'm a genius like that. The recommanded suicide ship at time was the rocket Kestrel. But you needed to bring buddies for it to work. It was obviously not about the setup itself but about finding the best for your buck in ISK and sec status spent.
Still waiting on the fraps of you suiciding a Covetor in 0.8 using a destroyer.
