ok thats it, im never offering ransoms again. offered it two times this evening and both got away.
dont get me wrong i respect both parties involved(well one of them atleast) for how they did it.
first i ransomed this guy in a destroyer. got him to 1% hull and ransomed him. turned my guns off
and waited a few sec¦s. then the guy has a friend (in another corp) fly in an remote rep him. really nicely done
imo, since the other guy was in a too big ship for me.
second guy, i ransom: (in same sys, next belt to) after tanking him, his (seemingly endless)
drones, a friend in a frig and 3 rats, i get him into structure. i ransom, he asks for a few
seconds, he self destructs!?!
why would you do that? i only asked for one mill!!! he¦s flying an arbitrator. he said he doesnt
remember if he hit the self desturuct or not?
then he warps of in his pod and comes back in a sec in a maller with his friend in a frig and they
almost get me (they forgot the scrambler). i was at 5% hull when i warped away, so
good job to them.
to give credit where credit it due, all involved were extremely pro, no smack (unfortunately so
cause i live for that crap) and all enjoying the fight.
all im saying is why in f**** sake would you ransome anyone. i only asked for 1 fing mill, their
ship was worth at least 3 or 5 times that.
from here on now, no fing ransom¦s and no more listening to whines about not ransoming.
ps i get the part about ransoming in a gank squad, thats sound viable. so dont flame me about that,
this is high sec pirating.
(ps by the way this was in high sec and i just stole their loot/ore to get them to fire on me. i¦ve
got >900k sp¦s and they a little more.)

well all involved were pretty low sp, so i didnt want to nor could have set a high ransome, since a >2month old chars couldnt have amassed very much money and a mil for me is quite nice.
and i definetly would have let them go. thats why i asked for ransom instead of enlarging my epeen with 2 kill mails:)
thanks for the response

im in a fing rifer man! what do you want me to do? ransom a titan?
but point taken, maybe i should wait with the ransoms until my victims are in an expensive ship.
i just thought a low sp like me would take a cheap ransom.

nah, tanks for the offer Soporo though...
like i said, and all have said above, they had their reasons and one at least got a way fair and square. im just saying, im not offering ransom¦s anymore. at least not untill im preying on bigger targets and i¦ve got a gank squad behind me:)

While i understand what ur saying, if u enjoy ransoming then do continue. Sounds like ur just having some bad luck.
Somethings strike me as strange tho here.
Firstly if i saw someone enter the same belt as the one i was ransoming in then i would have seen the corp ticker and blown away that 1% hull in 1 shot way before he even locked his corpmate. Also keep an eye on scanner to see for help coming next time.
Secondly did u not see the self destruct message come on the screen saying he's activated it and then had 2 minutes to kill the guy before it activated?
As i say ransoms are good when they come off which they do often so u should keep trying and be more cautious about backup if u do.

you¦re absolutely right. had i payed 100% attention i wouldnt have srewed it up. and thinking about it now it was pretty stupid to try and ransom alone, in a very highly populated, high sec sys.
in the first fight, in my defense, we had had some spectators. also the repper was in a noob corp and warped right on top of his friend. so they probably ganged up.
the second fight, i missed the anouncement prolly on account of me furiously switching targets (ive max 2 targets with my skills )
but like i said pretty silly thing to do in a .9sys.
as a side note, am i right in assuming that i gained kill rights on the remote repper? i mean he¦s helping my victim, right? so i could have, in theory, shot at him and not get concorded, right?
