Hey guys!
Before I start explaining my situation I want you guys to know that this is not a whining thread but a true attempt to understand the reasoning behind some ganks.
So, I outfitted my venture for some gas harvesting (without the actual gas harvesters) and was just moving my ship to another location in order to actually get those gas harvesters. I broke rule #1: I pressed autopilot. Sure enough i saw myself in a pod (which somehow reached my destination). The whole route was high sec which meant I was suicide ganked  . Losing a venture was no biggie...if anything it made me more aware but the situation was comical to me (I mean, who would suicide gank a venture which barely had 3mill in fitting?). To be fair though, I was embarassed by losing a venture under these circumstances, I broke the rule, and I deserved that loss. However, I decided to find this guy and see how he works maybe even get back at him  . I saw exactly how he did his ganks (witnessed one actually when stalking him). Classic gank, nothing to it. He used a thrasher, warped to gate, locked a victim, volley -> kill, then Concord comes in and destroys him. His alt comes in, salvages and loots everything. His victim was a reaper this time.....i mean..cmon. Can anyone explain the logic behind killing a reaper (it makes less sense than killing a venture lol). Does the amount of fun you get killing a reaper or a venture outweighs the loss in standing + a thrasher? I just dont see it. Do pirates usually do that ? Wouldn't it be more fun killing a nice iteron mark V with good loot?
If its just for fun, then why would you even salvage the wrecks? Again, I understand if its a newly made character and for him any profit is good profit, but this was a 2010 char.
If I am missing some obvious benefit out of this, please point me in the right direction! Maybe I will start doing it as well.
Sorry for rambling a bit, the whole situation just baffles me really  . |

You and Eugene maybe right...somehow I did not think that people would actually carry expensive stuff in these low-end ships (I guess I can see the sense as in most pirates would ignore a stray reaper and wont bother even scanning him). Noob me. 
I am trying to look at the stuff that reaper might have carried but the killboard for that ganker is at 0 kills 15 losses (which is obviously wrong, since I saw him destroying ships.). Anyway, maybe the killboard did not update or something. |
