I started playing again close to 2 months ago and it seems the Carebears have whined enough that the Concord insurance was taken away from suicide ganking. Quite dispointed in that even though I would qualify as a carebear myself as I think people should be forced to think ahead more in what they are doing will make them a more juicy target, but that is besides the point.
Before I stopped playing for a bit it seemed like I noticed more suicide gankers and occasionally finding camps that the capability to take down freighters every now and than. Now besides the whole burn jita thing I have yet to see anything that has even met 1/2 of the force I use to see, I usually encounter at most 2-4 ships that are setup at gates, mostly destroyers and tier 3 BC's. So it seems like most of their targets are a lot more lightly armored such as industrials and frigates, as always. But nothing I encoutered so far has had the capability to take down anything decently tanked like a moderately tanked BC.
So is my assessment so far true that we are doing a lot of suicide ganking of lightly armored ships, and significantly less of the more heavily armored ones due to the nerf? Or have I just been lucky and not seen any of those more formable camps? |

You do bring up a good point they should stop paying people to self destruct. |

But i learned fast how to avoid being a target and its really not that hard. Problem with most miners is that they use bots, r afk or watching p.o.r.n which means they're not paying attention. So who's fault is it really that they get ganked? Maybe insted of stoping gankers ccp should make mining more interesting (although don't ask me how) so that miners don't become braindead.
Hate to break it to you but I wasn't whining about suicide gankers, if anything I was doing the exact opposite.
I was more curious as to what I was seeing was the norm now since the insurance nerf there are less large squads of people taking out freighters and other high ehp ships. |

When I fly along trade routes which I do semi regularly it seems to me suicide ganking happens quite often. I see people in pods sometimes, people who were freshly suicide ganked and the gankers. And I see a LOT of destroyers setup to alpha people and than tornado's to do the same, and some frigs setup to scan ships.
I actually went out and setup one of my ships and started scanning everyone along the trade routes to confirm this after making this thread and it seems like it holds true. Suicide ganking is live and well, it's just that it has evolved into being more precise on who you attack.
And that with the insurance nerf taking out larger targets seems to be less profitable unless you get a particularly stupid hauler who hauls a LOT of valuable goods. I didn't stick around long enough to see how many of them I saw who would worth the effort, I only scanned around 10 freighters and none of them would be worth the effort. I saw a lot of fail fits though including a machariel fitted with civilian guns, reppers, afterburners, and mining lasers I wanted to suicide gank that to give that ship a mercy killing but unfortunately I didn't have the manpower available at the time.
