What did you try to gank you with? ------------------------------------------------ You either need a punch up the throat or a good shag.
Nobody round here is offering the second one therefore your choices are limited! |

most of them ARE idiots, yes..
the closest any group has come to ganking me was when i ran into 5 BS (3 raven, an apoc, and a geddon) .. they even had sentry drones out..
they attacked my occator (which is tanked) .. and i WAS AFK, but when i heard locking sounds, i came back and turned on my damage control (the only part of my active tank) ... and sat back and watched.
shields vaporized, i mean, might as well not even been there... armor held better, and.. at the end of their gank (this was 0.5 sec, so, 20 seconds?) concord came and blew them all up.. i had 97% hull left. and epic lols. .
i said something like "GF, closest anyone's came before" .. one guy started askin me if i was really AFK, if i had got back to turn on hardners, etc .. he wouldnt believe it was just a DC.. but, i lol'd.
the rest of them, 4 other attacks that i recall, never even got past my shields. (ok, well, one got like 1% knocked off my armor) .. so, extra fail.
got to give them credit though.. if they didnt make isk doing it, i assume they wouldnt BE doing it..

Despite having lost lots of ISK to them, I think suicide gankers are cool.
The irony of the last time I got suicide ganked (several months ago) was the fact that I actually stayed at a gate because I thought some dude was about to suicide a hauler and I wanted to watch and laugh; instead he turned around and suicided me. Lost me a DG Medium Tower. Stupid kharma.
I let my well tanked alt carry anything expensive now. --- Usagi Tsukino // Miyazaki Zaibatsu

To be fair, it is entirely possible that he tanks his itty.

For enjoyment you can hang out in .5 systems at gates you know gankers are active at in a kestrel/something cheap with a few high slots, when they do gank the hauler shoot the can. It gets you concorded as well, but it makes for a great local.

Actually it was the first time it has ever happened to me, so I was amused. Ate through my armor and had maybe a quarter of my hull left, but I was really impressed with the fireworks concord provided. Concord doesnt **** around.

Suiciding is pretty lulz, the hate mail and the spam in local make it worth it.

LOL yeah, so we can all start flying noob ships because they're free, right? OMG... imagine civilian rails on a noob ship with 2km range! That would be so epic!

Well, I finally got hit. Caught me off guard in 0.5. Found out the hard way that Concord doesn't always show up.
Lost 175 million in material and contract collateral. That's all the isk my corp had. (I'm a one man corp BTW)
So my alt is auctioning off the corps BPO collection.
I'm also taking donations.

20m isk geddons are ridiculous period.
It's easy to make 20m in 30 minutes of missioning, BSs should be worth more. Insurance needs to be overhauled or taken out.

Insurance allows casual players the opportunity to still play, not everyone can play 4-6 hours a day.
Insurance should be canceled on the ship you are flying when you perform a criminal action.

oh i lost a retriever (t1 fit) to 2 raven smartbomb fit suicide gankers
my total loss about 3mil for 1x t1 ice strip a named small shield extender 1x t2 cargo expander and 2 t1 warriors and cost of updating my clone (not all that much at the time)
i recovered (1x t1 ice strip, 1x t2 cargo expander, 3x large concussion smartbombs 3x large em smartbombs 3x warrior 1's 2x nano fibre hull 1's and 1x 100nm mwd and 1x t2 cap recharger.
my ship (which i built) was insured for max (about 5mil) and i would assume their ravens where also insured. basically i probably made more isk from the selling their loot than i lost
fail gank in my book SIG: if my message has spelling errors its cos i fail at typing properly :P |

fail gank in my book
TBH they were probably ravens the gankers didn't want anyway (not looking to quote a popular MEME, I'm being serious)
You've got a BS that you don't want/need anymore, it's insured. What do you do with it? What's the most fun way you can think of to get rid of it? ^_^
As for the fail ganks having been mentioned here:
Everyone has to start somewhere. The difference between someone's first suicide gank and their first, say, mission is that the mission gets done on their first day in eve, whereas most people don't try ganking until much, much later.
Someone new to ganking is no different than someone new to pvp or new to the game, and having seen someone fail at ganking does not make ganking (arguably the most profitable profession of the game, at least in terms of isk/hour) itself stupid. |
