There is a reason why kill boards don't count rookie ships, shuttles, or often pods as real kills.

Yup, i know the RvB killboard list kills followed by real kills which excludes rookie ships (not sure about shuttles or pods, but woujd think so).

That said are you sure it was for kb padding and not griefing a courier mission botter or some off attempt at easy isk from faction warfare?

However, I sat there cloaked and waited. Soon another toon came in and sat in his noobship by the gate. Keyanu then warped in a few seconds later, popped then podded the guy in the noob ship.

He then warped off.

Curious, I sat there cloaked and watched. Sure enough, a few minutes later the noob came back in his noob ship and, a few seconds later Keyanu warps in...pops then pods the noob.

If you wanted to do this, obviously the easiest way would be not not move the killer ship at all - you'd just repeatedly warp the victim ship to the killer. Even easier (in lowsec), but maybe not as obvious, would be to put the killer at an undock BM that's shared with the victim; the victim then just needs to undock, warp to the BM, die, repeat.

Killmails don't care where the kill happened.

So actually I'd guess that there's something else going on here, maybe

1. This pirate is practicing gank fits against weak ships under sentry guns, or

2. The rookie is some kind of someone's surveillance alt and the pirate keeps having to 'police' it.

If he left his kill ship by the gate.

I wouldn't call it cheating...more like 'creative bookkeeping'. Another reason why KMs should be deep sixed.

He was gate Smartbombing in Rancer with a Rokh...

It's no way to greet guests Mags. You should set up a nice B&B, market and repair service instead.

I plan to gate camp in the new Mining Frigate.

With those arms I can hug ships as they come through the gate. Lonely EVE Players will be so happy someone cares about them that they will jettison their cargo in thanks.

I call it politracy.

Were the targets in opposing FW factions? I'm curious whether killing a station-given noobship gives LP in FW. Abusable, maybe? Though I think the LP amounts would be way too low...

Unfortunately I know Keyanu Is not stat padding I wish he was cos I am running just behind him on this moth's killboard and would love to get him DQ

Won't tell you why he was doing what he was doing though but there is a good reason.

I hate those types, it's not real PvP I tell ya and it's immoral.

Whoah there fellah...

Anyone who knows how to evewho someone and read their killmails will look at a guy with ****** killmails like that and choose him as their mark.

Its actually a helpful tool in that aspect. IMHO only people who don't understand KM's hate them.

Yes, Rico is my *****

Looking for exploration sites.

The first thing I noticed was a -10 standing bad guy by the name of Keyanu at the gate.

I did the afterburner plus cloak thing and headed out.

Second thing I noticed was that Keyanu warped off quick. No shame, he probably wasn't gate camping and I took him by surprise.

However, I sat there cloaked and waited. Soon another toon came in and sat in his noobship by the gate. Keyanu then warped in a few seconds later, popped then podded the guy in the noob ship.

He then warped off.

Disgusted, I went into system to explore.

Please please please tell me that you all can detect pathetic attempts to look like a great PvPer like Keyanu's by {creative bookkeeping} like this are recognizable.

I get the feeling this happens quite a bit by people not as transparent as Keyanu and so maybe harder to detect.
