It cost him 25m at most, depends if he has a chance to scoop his loot back, and what dropped but it could cost less.

I'm sure you realise he hardly has a chance to reship to something cheaper so the Apoc is the one size fits all of suicide ganks.

In your instance, the odds are in his favour and he only has a short moment to decide if he is going to kill you or not so seeing 2x gist XXXXXX modules is usually good enough.

Are you sure you weren't under war dec and didn't realise it since he is in the orphanage after all.

Aha, I see the issue.

Make an undock safe spot directly in the direction of travel when you undock. For example, warp to Jita IV Moon 1 and create a bookmark along the way.

Next time that you undock in anything fancy, warp to this safe spot instead of any gate. You'll go to warp instantly (or near so, depending on if you get bumped) and get out of the Jita 4-4 killzone.

As for other gates along the way, manual pilot and use a ship with a buffer tank to survive until Concord shows up. If you can afford Deep Space Haulers or even Orcas, those are the way to go.

And since you can't scan what's inside the GSC

Like others said, insta-undock warps spots and transport ships are good, but I've also found that simply using a couple of GSCs will stop most gankers in ships larger than cruisers. Most gankers don't want to lose a ship for a kill that has empty GSCs, or GSCs full of missiles. And since you can't scan what's inside the GSC, most gankers won't risk it. Just tank enough that you can withstand a thrasher or two for about 10 seconds, and wait for Concord to save you.

Props to the guy, it was a one shot kill as far as I saw, but am I missing something or did he come out negative on that deal?

tl;dr: Tank your ship. Don't haul Faberge Eggs in a U-haul truck.

Now that people have answered your actual question, I have to ask about the title of this thread.
Namely, why would you want to prevent getting blown outside anywhere?

I was going to post a similar thing.

Now that you know how to avoid getting ganked next time, to answer the actual question in the title: Try to avoid any ladies loitering outside the station, in the shadows.

Here's a question I can't remember if I've ever gotten an answer for:

If you get ganked, such as the OP, and have kill rights on someone. Just how far do those kill rights extend? Instead of killing the guy could I instead ... fit a Scorpion in an ewar setup with huge tank and then just mess with the guy every time he tries to lock someone up for a month?

Not hassling someone but every now and then if I'm bored and he's online in Jita?

The OP never said anything about ladies... O.o

Involved parties:

Name: iceprick (laid the final blow)
Security: -1.3
Corp: Interstellar Brotherhood

As this is my money maker, and I'm comfortbly running level 4's now I'm just trying to get more efficient at them. So after gettin ga bestower full of loot, I make my usual trip to 4-4 to offload it. It just so happened I got to log off for a couple hours after making my orders then coming back to see a lot of them filled, and I'm able to buy a couple of goodies to hopefully make my missioning better, and stock up on some missiles.

So I've got roughtly around 100-150mil items, in particilar a gist-a kin hardner and a gist-a therm hardner, along with about 10,000 assorted T2 missiles.

I know right then I'm not going to make it.

KillMail

I know better than to smack talk, especially after something so minimal. While I did immediately log off as I was a bit pissed, but put it aside, logged back on and bought me another bestower and fitted it, got some more missiles and went back to grind again.


After looking at the killmail though, and seeing he was in an apoc, I have to wonder, that seems like a high risk for a suicide gank. The thermal hardner was the most at about 65mil, the kin one was 50, and only one of them dropped. a few mil in the missiles dropped... Even if everything had dropped it seemed like a very small profit margin for a suicide right outside the station

But that thought aside, I also wonder how am I supposed to prevent this? Something tells me not to expect this unless I'm hauling a VERY expensive load, but in that case, am I supposed to use sealed cargo, just stay way from hubs, etc.. ?

Props to the guy, it was a one shot kill as far as I saw, but am I missing something or did he come out negative on that deal?

Thanks for all the advice. As I don't expect to be hauling out any huge loads from here out (if I ever do a complete refit/reship I suppose I'll just have all the equip couriered)... I'm thinking maybe a heavily tanked drake with inertia stabs in the low's? (caldari pilot) Most people probably target EM in jita though so might not be the best route, I've got amarr up to cruisers so a couple days training would put me in a probably better route armor bc's, but then don't have the lows for stabs... hmm


Anyway something to think about I guess, thanks all again.
