They wait for a target, once a freighter is in the system they will bump it to stop it from going anywhere. They will shoot it with an alt character to get the freighter into pvp, this stops the pilot from logging out. Due to how effective this is, there is no escape for the freighter pilot. Once you've jumped into that system in a freighter, you've given them a 100% guaranteed kill on you. Once the sec status of the alt character is too low, they replace it with a new one.
I also watched their characters log in one by one and then suddenly all of them logged off on my contacts at precisely the same moment, looks like his computer crashed :D
Checked their character history, about half of them joined the corp on the same day and the other half were all new characters, created on the same day, earlier this year.
They also use log in traps, to trick people into thinking they're offline, the bumpers wait for a target and when one is found and held in place, the ganking characters are logged in to destroy it.
Perhaps everyone should start doing this, it's a really easy way to earn isk and get epic kills. Plenty of people with multiple accounts and the time to burn.
For a list of their ganking characters just look up Furious Father on a killboard and see his freighter kills and who was part of it.
One of the many things wrong with the game.
It's one guy, running all those accounts on one or more computers. Using a single keyboard/software that allows you operate all accounts at the same time. CCP has said this is ok, which is not surprising, as long as they can get someone to pay the accounts, they can collect the money.
With endless isk from CCP's moon-goo debacle, Goon's can buy and pay for any number of accounts, any number of ships, and create havoc in the game without any help at all.
You can create a 500 man blob with 50 people easily, don't have to worry about everyone logging on, as long as the core players are there.
I wonder if CCP will ever disclose how many live people actually play the game anymore. If they have 300k subs, I'd bet there are no more than 20k-30k people running them all.
