With only 2 mid slots, he needs prop mod and a point, so no room for web. If web+scram, then may be hard to keep up with 10mn AB fit even with a web without a prop mod. It may have been possible if the ganker realised the frig was AFK and give up on point to have prop+web. How would he get three Catalysts in the belt in ten minutes while criminal flagged though? Dropped by an Orca or something? Sounds very fishy to me too. TBH I'm not too sure about that, so yeah it may be fishy fiction. :P I was just talking purely in terms of ship vs ship perspective, as some WH mining frigates are really slippery fit and I could imagine a Cat not being able to kill it too easily if completely solo.
Reluctantly displaying the vast depths of my ignorance: When mining I fly two Skiffs tanked up fairly well with a really big freighter chasing cans and cleaning up the rat kills. I do not AFK as the Skiffs keep me busy chasing cans and looting rat kills. My question, assuming the AB is a reference to afterburners, is what exactly does an AB have to do with anti-gank capability? That's assuming the miner is pretty well hove to whilst mining, but I've never ice mined so maybe the miner has to move about, but then there is the AFK part. My anti-gank tactic is fairly simple: Watch dscan, if a suspicious anything closes the belt I launch Hammerheads, when the guy shows up I lock'im, sic the HH's on him, wait for him to go hostile then ride Concord's coat-tails to victory. I've got AB's fitted but use them rarely, usually when crossing a belt to get the last tasty bit of rock. If the AB's can somehow boost anti-gank then I'd like to know just how all that works.

I am preparing to rage quit over the way CCP is turning the game into a cookie cutter , one size fits all mentality , in ship and mod design , and the constant , buff , nerf . I long for the old days ways , when pilots were gutsy and made due with what was available without the constant whining . |

I was playing eve and this one guy kept targeting me, he put himself in harms way just to hunt me in both low and highsec just to get another kill mark against me.
I fought back and got him, then he wanted a truce, I told him "You blew any chances of a truce just like you blew your father!" And logged off
"that's just blatant Anti-Caldari Propaganda, this Janitor must be arrested at once!"

It was moderately uncalled for, but luckily we declared war on his corps because they came after a couple of our guys
We won by a landslide ( I got none of the kills but proud~)

I've rage quitted way too many times, more than is healthy. Rage comes from being passionate about something but over the years CCP has made it harder and harder to care. |

I'd say rage comes from not being in control of whatever feelings events might inspire. Babies rage about anything, wise old people barely rage at all, layers of thick bark grow and eventually everything is just "Meh." I wanted to rage quit every week of my first 6 months in EvE. This and other experiences have led me to conclude that masochism, far from being a quirk or pathology, is a valid behaviour to adopt in an environment that treats you in a shoddy manner. Dignity and control is derived from suffering, but you persist and eventually prevail. Then you're free to indulge in wildly sadistic tantrums in a well earned and completely rational destructive inferno. The most affecting rage quit i ever saw was a friend who nagged me to fly bigger ships, got me into nullsec and taught me many things. I bought him an orca for his 50th birthday. We were moving out to NPC null with a corp, i in a DST, he in his Naga. He wanted to scout me through the low/null bottleneck in that. Naturally bubbles and dps ensued and in the noise and screaming i managed to get my DST through to base. He was all torn up though, being one of those people who has never lost a fight IRL (uh-oh) and feels that violence should only be extended to those who deserve it. I tried to gently explain that everyone in EvE deserves it but he'd had enough. No man ever likes to be told he's wrong but refusing to ever not be right is a path to the floor. He gave me a bunch of cool stuff, the orca too, changed his bio to some touching stuff about honour and haven't seen him online since. Haunts me to this day.

It's mostly raging about CCP's fuckups over the years, not actual ingame events. And yeah, I had/have no control over those. |

We are talkin about mining frig with 10mn afterburner fit, probably afk while orbiting the roid. This would mean that the mining frig (not skiff) is moving at consistently high velocity, not affectd by scram. This means constantly getting out of catalyst's blaster range or potentially causing tracking issues. MWD fit cat could probably chase it alright and track it alright, but a frig with 10mn AB is not that easy tonhit without web, hence my points about cat having two mids and not being able to have MWD/Point AND web. He needs to give one up.
Well, like I said, I don't know if this claim is real or not. But 10mn AB frig is not an easy thing to kill solo with two mid slots.

Now, relevant to OP ... I can't link a name unfortunately (that'd be public shaming) but when I just started playing I met this triggerhappy guy I immediately bonded with. At the time I didn't know he was e ret4rd because I was a noob LOL- but at some point he left and I kept playing. Half a year later, said guy resubs and I recruited him into my 4 man corp no questions asked. BOY WAS I WRONG!
He kept emptying his father's PLEX storage to buy fancy ships he could barely sit in, got concordokkened, killrighted and gategunned everywhere, bragged about cynokills and at one point started awoxing our blues; claimed Firbolgs were drones and when called out on it, cliamed he was merely trolling ..... as you can tell, it didn't last long or he'd alienated everyone who tried offering advice, and got a big fat -10 standing from everyone in the alliance and pretty much everyone he met.
When he ran out of plex he ragequit again for six months, got dec'ed by a one man corp who killed billions and billion of his stuff single handed (in a garmur no less ahahaha "look at that puny ship let's stomp it" - NOPE) and then he ragequit for good.
Some guys ...... just never learn |

Someone once threatened to poop on my face and violate my grandmother because I violently interrupted his WH farming.
I run a locator on him at least once a week. He hasn't moved out of EFA in 4 years. I guess you could say he rage quit.

It's got to a point for me where i don't actually know why I sign in.
Eve is driven by K/D ratio KB's, awful logi and ECM mechanics and it's creating horrible gameplay. Such a shame from where the game used to be. |

I haven't "Rage Quit" EvE, but I have "Rage Walked Away and to the Pub for Lunch and an Extra Cider" after losing a decent ship to some silliness.... though I did come back in a few hours and just built another.
Does that count?
Actually... There was this one time that I made a major mistake in manufacturing and stepped away for a week or so, but that was entirely my fault - no scam or PVP involved - just me not doing basic arithmetic correctly.
And for those of you who purchased Dirt Cheap Cheetahs in Rens last year... You're Welcome.

UI changes either make me quit for a few months or make it really hard to justify not quitting. But well, I haven't actually played EVE in well over 2 years now.. It's nothing but a glorified chatroom with spaceships to me.
When you don't know the difference between there, their, and they're, you come across as being so uneducated that your viewpoint can be safely dismissed. The literate is unlikely to learn much from the illiterate.

I don't think I've ever ragequit, i'm usually in lowsec and if someone gets me before I can warp out then it just means I have to be quicker the next time. |
