I did not read all 117 pages (as of a moment ago).
But :: HTFU.
I HTFU well before H5 cuz we were getting ganked so regularly.
Now it's your turn to HTFU.
Actually, CCP has given gankers more choices:
1) spend all your ISK fielding gank fit Machariels to take out the new mining barges just because you hate miners.
2) find the truly stupid miners who continue to deploy high yield Hulk fits in hi sec - it'll be a chance to show your excellent hunter skills.
3) go to lo sec/null and disrupt fleet mining ops all you want - gank them fleet fit Hulks - it'll be a welcome change of pace - don't use implants.
Either way, it's your choice; griefing, profits, or more griefing. The cost picture sure has changed. So HTFU. I did as a miner. Now it's your turn. |

You are right, of course. No real ganker would take out Hulks in a Machariel (or a Vindi) . I know, because my main and her corp mates have been ganked by some of the best teams we have seen.
My exaggeration was to point out that you can still gank, it's just potentially harder to make a profit. I agree with you, and I have even posted this: some miners will continue to fly max yield paper-tank hulks.
We HTFUed and the gankage stopped:
1) tanked Orca with Shield Harmonizer II (only 253K EHP with wimpy T2 mods, in fleet, resists in the high 80s-low 90s, no EFT guesstimate)
2) proper tank for Hulks of course
3) Hulks orbit Orca (which has it's problems...)
4) Spider tankage with repper drones
5) passive tanking skills maxed in case of neut
6) Orca pilot with perfect fleet/gang link skills
7) we also try to look like space hobos so the gankers think we have nothing of value.
8) watch local of known reds
Since we no longer get ganked, for us, the new ships are icing :: tthick, delicious, icing. Now the gankers will have to rethink things. So HTFU already.
I will never talk **** in local to insight a ganker, but we'd respect any real attempt to take us out. We learned so much from dealing with so many well rehearsed teams. We may learn more if somebody tries to take us out again. But they won't. We are well prepared, a difficult set of targets,and they know it. And now it's even better. |
