BALANCE! They die in high a lot. Undocking and using jumpdrive is safe but piloting them around high is very dangerous due to epeen gankers in cheap dessies. To the poster before you the gank ship is not put at risk - its purpose is to die.
Your definition of risk is so ****** ******* subjective that it physically pains me to read your idiotic posts.
risk [risk]
noun
1.
exposure to the chance of injury or loss; a hazard or dangerous chance
Just because you plan to suicide you ship when you gank, doesn't mean there is no risk. Allow me to count the ways:
1. You lose your ship. Is it intended? yea. Does it expose you the the chance of injury of loss? No ****, of course it does
2. You lose standing. "B-b-but Max", you whine, "can't you avoid letting your standing drop to a level that will harm you?" Why of course I can, but to do so I must invoke the ancient art of 'Planning' to mitigate my risk. More on that later.
3. Someone gains killrights on you that can be activated at any time. This risk follows you around even after the gank. Can't alts mitigate some of this risk? yes, but you would have to once again invoke the ancient art of 'planning'. Plus, the train to get a new character into a freighter ganking ship(brutix, nado, etc) will cost you in plex
4. And finally, there is the very real risk that the target will escape and you will have lost ships for nothing. This, too, can be mitigated via proper planning.
Now, I know many people say that carebears have lost their ability to invoke the ritual of planning, but I say NAY! I believe in you, carebears! I believe that you can find a friend or an alt to create an escape cyno! I believe that you can scout ahead for gank gangs! I BELIEVE that you can web your freighters to get them off of the gate quicker. I believe. I know that gangers have it easy. After all, all they have to do is put together a fleet of bumpers and gankers, and coordinate them such that they run through the entirety of your hp in the span of about 20 seconds. Easy right? Compared to them, yours is a monumental task. Yet I believe in your ingenuity. YOU CAN DO IT CAREBEARS! I BELIEVE IN YOU!
