Samahiel Sotken GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation 51	Posted - 2012.09.18 17:36:00 - [121] - Quote I fail to understand the premise for why a mechanic change is at all necessary. We all signed up knowing this was a PVP MMO about violence in space. The trailers themselves include acts of theft, piracy, and espionage. Everything here is working as intended as far as I can tell. The poor decisions of a few pilots unskilled in the mechanics of the game does not constitute grounds for wild, unjustified theory crafting.
Mara Tessidar Bat Country Goonswarm Federation 645	Posted - 2012.09.18 17:36:00 - [122] - Quote hey look it's a thread about me the best kind of thread out there EveO is a circus train that is for bafflingly unclear reasons also carrying tanks of chlorine gas,-ácrashing and exploding in the middle of a small midwestern town. -áCalling it a mere train wreck gives neither the entertainment nor the horror it offers its proper due.

It is a freighter not a fighter. There are game mechanics to prevent this, it is called bring a fleet, or risk your ship, it's that whole risk vs reward thing. Maybe you would like to explain what these "friends" are going to do while the volley from 8+ Tornadoes tears through your hull? They'll have a good show, for sure, and can pop your wreck for you, but in the battle of Alpha vs. Friends, Alpha wins all the ******* time. It takes about 25 tornados (or more) to alpha a freighter in one volley. Typically our gangs run about 10 - 15 members. We use high DPS high ROF ships to take down the freighters. The best way to stop us is wait till we go GCC then jam us with two or three blackbirds. Easy. Assumer they are fast on reaction, could they also rep just enough to offset dps for concord to respond fast enough? Mostly asking to see if freighter have yet another possible defense.

Are people really still not understanding WTF is ahppening in a gank? Even a newbie like me got enough information to know a 900 mill penalty would only change where the bar for profitable is. Insetad of a ship with 2 bill inside, they woudl aim for 4 bill...

Just to be sure, since you know: "Ganking was never intended to be profitable" even if the people being exploded are complete morons.

Because carrying 2 billions worth of isk is not enough yet?

I can assure you this avatar has well over 1 day, I show my start date at .Center for Advanced Studies [CAS] from 2005.08.14 16:22 to 2005.08.15 18:46. Now I guess I could have hacked into CCP's systems and changed that date, just so I could come and post. So please explain why you called me a Hypocrite?

(Lore: Ship crews are paid from the interest earned from the total of all ISK in all wallets. If yours is negative, you are not contributing to the crew wage pool, so you are not allowed to use a crewed ship.) Suicide ganking would still be possible. Profitable? Not as much. They would just have to be even more selective. Tell me why they should introduce literally the only game mechanic that can force your wallet to go negative you know something beyond "wel suaside gank is bad!!!" please leave

Its already possible to do this. Carry less than twice the value of the ship and there is a good chance we won't even give you a second look. Don't fly through 0.5 and 0.6 space and there is a good chance we will never even SEE you.

This may or may not be true, if it is there is clear path to take, and coming to the forums is not it. Also, the one day alt failed to prove his case, he was asked to post his kill mail, he refused. Game rules are ccp's to deal with not us players.

Samahiel Sotken GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation 51	Posted - 2012.09.18 17:58:00 - [138] - Quote Recycling, as I understand it, is banable. Which is why we run regular "Sec Safaris" in nullsec. It's a lot less arduous to grind sec status when you control large swaths of 0.0 space with good true sec.

baltec1 Bat Country 2145	Posted - 2012.09.18 18:04:00 - [140] - Quote Greetings from Bat Country! Apologies for my late replay to this thread but we have been rather busy in our R&D department, sifting through fat loots and working out just how much damage we did to ourselves the other night when our overviews bugged or something. Personally I think it was an NC. Awoxer but only time will tell. Now onto the subject at hand, our cull of terrible frieghter pilots. I see many of you have questions and I will do my best to answer said questions without too much political woffle. Firstly, we are not recycling alts, we simply have lot and lots of scrub charactors at our disposal, most of them made for our ice interdiction. Another whine.. ..I mean, complaint, is that frieghters are dont stand any chance against us. Well, thats kinda true. However its not because we own some sort of super weapon or that frieghters have a weak tank (they have a good one). The reason they die is because the pilots is stupid. They are packing far too much isk into their holds which means that it is possible to ram our heroic gank gangs into them and come away with piles of money. How much money? Well... If you have any further questions I will be happy to answer them.

LOL Good try, you cannot insult me!! I was referring to what the OP was selling, sorry that was not clear to you. I mean come on dude, my grand dauther who is 6 is better with insults. You and I will just have to disagree, not a suprise to me since you are an alt poster.

Why do people always think Goonswarm Federation is controling everything? The fact that a solution to your problem was given to you by one of their members does not mean they will profit from it. I learned quite a few stuff by just reading all they ahve posted here and elsewhere on the net. They are litterally a gold mine of information with cherries on top. I do not know the whole history of EvE but from what I know, they were probably never really a problem. The real problem is people doing stuff so stupid that it gets easyly abused without breaking the rules. Stop carrying more than 2 bill worth of cargo in a freighter. Thast all you need to know. And if you are under 2 bill, don't ever think of wrapping it. It looks like you are trying to hide something. They seem to be curious people too because I know they blew up a freighter with only 200 mill of trit in it. It was wrapped so it looked like ti was worth more. 2 basic rules. 1- No plastic wraps 2- Not over 2 bill. How hard is this to understand?

A ship locking down a massive freighter is somewhat of a joke and is very abusable, as such they effectively act as warp scramblers on a freighter in empire space, to keep in pinned down, without the retaliation from concord. How is that not abuse of a game system? Winner winner chicken dinner. Quote: Stop carrying more than 2 bill worth of cargo in a freighter. Thast all you need to know. Hauling 12 plex in anything is stupid. Not hauling in a hauler is stupid. Find the happy medium.
