Hello fellow C&P friends
I would like to graciously ask those who are willing to share for some tips,tricks and tactics involving the above title. I would like to get your advice on the following:
Optimal trade route pipes Optimal ships and alt nr's to get the job done (i don't have multiple screens ) Optimal tactics before and after prey explodes. And if its worth going after t2 haulers
I've done some net research on the matter and i have the basics down , i'd just want to do it properly and preferably for profit.
I also apologize if a similar thread already exists.
So far i only had 2 attempts , first one was super succesfull and only took a cormorant to pop an autopiloting itty5 that droped 400 mil in loot. Second attempt i alphad a sigil who was also autopiloting but for some reason my nado only did shield and half armor damage :( sadface.
Any help on the matter would be greatly apreciated.
-á- I am the commanding officer , u should adress me as sir !
-á- But if i call u sir , what would i call your wife then ??

Optimal trade route pipes -Not sure one is optimal over another as the traffic varies drastically for a multitude of reason, obviously Jita should be involved in the route.
Optimal ships and alt nr's to get the job done (i don't have multiple screens ) - 3 Accounts- Ganker, Scanner, Scooper (Can be done with two) Catalyst for AP untanked Vexor/Thorax/Moa for AP tanked or non-ap Brutix for tanked and stabbed
Optimal tactics before and after prey explodes. Too much for one post, mail sent
And if its worth going after t2 haulersBR Roulette is certainly a thing but very hit or miss.

My comrade Mr. Loyd covered this fabulously, but I want to add a few additional items:
Starbuck05 wrote:Optimal trade route pipes Anywhere with lots of haulers will work, but chokepoints are ideal. The Madirmilire/Niarja/Kaaputenen section of the pipe from Amarr to Jita is a prime example.
Starbuck05 wrote:And if its worth going after t2 haulers For solo work, DSTs usually aren't worth it. They're tough nuts to crack. If you are particularly enterprising though, you can solo freighters using multiple gank ships dropped by an Orca, but this would requires a high degree of practice and some luck. You could likely do the same with DSTs, but you can't really bump them like you can freighters unless the pilot is asleep at the wheel and their fit is truly horribad.

Probably not a good idea right now; according to reddit the guy that took out the bowhead in this fashion is taking an involuntary holiday, pending investigation and ruling, courtesy of CCP.
There's a locked topic in GD if you want to know more.

The normal route between Dixie and Jita is pretty good for untanked T1 haulers.

If only we could discuss warnings and bans. But if we could, it might expose that the GM staff entirely ignores the actual rules of the game, and just makes things up as they go along.
That said, I would love confirmation that he was in fact unbanned. It would bring me great delight to post such a thing for the smug carebears on reddit.

Heck I would just love confirmation that he was actually banned for hyperganking so we don't have to figure out if something is an exploit based on hearsay. |

The first outcome suggests there's nothing wrong with hyperganking, the latter suggests there is. I guess it's one of those things you need to create a support ticket to be sure.

Getting back on topic, trying to pop any of the t1 combat haulers (Sigil, Nereus, Badger, and Wreathe) is always tricky as they can fit a very good passive tank. Best to go after Bestowers, Mammoths, Itty 5's and Tayra's.
They are almost always stuffed with cargo expanders (rigs and modules) which lowers their tank, and will (hopefully) be stuffed with the shiny, shiny loots.
As always, however, YMMV.
Everything in EVE is a trap.
And if it isn't, it's your job to make it a trap...:)

And as for places to set up your ambushes, you can use Dotlan or EveEye Maps to see where the highest traffic routes are for whatever region you live in.
But in fact, I made a Google spreadsheet a while back to find the most trafficked systems by security status using the API data:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mRoBRvS0UpVegAxiQBjRMZ4RJ1tZztLme-Hz6vvYBhg/edit?usp=sharing
If you make a copy of it you can change the range of systems you want to look at (right now it is set to 0.5-0.7), but I think staying in that range is the best place to start out ganking.
Sabriz Adoudel for CSM 10 is a good idea.

Good luck. I am on my second month of waiting for a response to my rules related ticket. |

I guess it's one of those things you need to create a support ticket to be sure. Getting off scot free means getting away with not paying taxes. It's used to denote doing wrong and getting away with it.
Like I said, you basically concluded he did wrong and either got away with it, or had a temp ban. I merely suggest he may have been suspended and found to have done nothing wrong at all. So no it doesn't suggest anything, as we do not know anything.
Yes one could write a ticket, but as shown above they tend to be ignored. In the meantime, people have lives and like to have fun playing the game.

Optimal trade route pipes:
Like said above unless you can get good intel on something better such as mass alliance move and their jump points out of highsec. It's all about intel but most find a spot where they like.
Optimal ships and alt nr's to get the job done (i don't have multiple screens ):
I do it on 1 Screen and 2 accounts but you have to be sharp.
Optimal tactics before and after prey explodes:
Be ready, be aligned ready for scoop and warp in with the damage boat. Have the char name added to contacts so you can see when he enters system.
After the prey explodes before Eve changed was quite straight forward, warp to wreck and loot. I haven't ganked much since the changes to being flagged. How are you guys dealing with the changes to aggression, finding quieter routes? Its sad face when someone blows up your Hauler.
And if its worth going after t2 haulers:
If Solo stick to T1.
I'm actually looking to get back into Eve so if there are any ganking corps around please pm me/mail me in game. Would be cool to share hints and tips and share killmails :) |

Thanks Paranoid Loyd, so basically be quick and aligned to safe, open can, initiate warp and loot.

So I guess solo ganking actually requires two accounts? One to do the gank and one on standby with a hauler of your own to loot? It doesn't seem feasible on one account as by the time you get into a hauler and get to the wreck someone may, and most likely, already looted anything of value inside.
If anyone takes that risk, does your loot get stolen as often as I think or am I assuming wrong? |

Most people will investigate wrecks and if possible try to loot the valuables..so yea if ur not fast enough you don't get the prize
