Valron Xizor The Xizor Cartel	Posted - 2007.11.22 12:29:00 - [1] I posted this in another thread but feel it deserves its own. After reading a ton of stuff on this subject, it became obvious that the loss sustained by the gankers is insignificant to that sustained by the hauler / freighter. Now no matter what your views are on ganking they're not breaking any rules. They are accepting that concord is going to kill them but only after they kill their prey. So how can you beat them? Well if you're webbed and being pounded on, chances are your already dead, so I'm thinking more along the lines of playing them at their own game. Suicide. My idea is simple. It srikes me that these guys sit around popular trading hubs in 0.5 systems becuase there's not so many concord on the gate and they take longer to arrive. So maybe set up a chanel reporting their location. Now take take one of your alts, put them in a noob ship with a cheap gun and head out to their gate camp. Lock someone and start shooting. Concord will arrive and send you home in a pod. There will now be a decent number of concord ships at the gate making a hauler suicide gank extremely difficult. Now I've not tested this out so I dont know how long concord hang around and I base this idea on a forum post giving tips on how to gank, so if this wont work, say. You are using the exact same in game mechanics as them. Enjoy.

Be aware though, that the same rule that applies to suicide gankers apply to you, so you can't recycle your alt after his sec status drops too low. That is deemed an exploit.

Xtreem Gallente Knockaround Guys Inc. Privateer Alliance	Posted - 2007.11.22 12:39:00 - [3] most people who are ganked are afk flying.. so they would not be able to read upto date news on locations
Valron Xizor The Xizor Cartel	Posted - 2007.11.22 12:43:00 - [4] Originally by: Xtreem most people who are ganked are afk flying.. so they would not be able to read upto date news on locations No the tactic wouldnt necessarily be used by the haulers, just people who are 'anti suicide gank' (there's alot of us) for [insert reason here] If enough people do it regularly it might reduce the number of incidents and it will certainly make life difficult for the gankers. Might even move them from a specific area. Sec hit shouldnt be an issue becuase you only take a small hit for engaging. Since you wont be killing anyone you dont lose the sec for that. Again if enough people do it, the sec hit will be spread among many. Yarr

Kaaii Caldari Kaaii-Net Research Labs	Posted - 2007.11.22 14:05:00 - [6] Is it the response time from Concord that insures there success? I don't know how long it takes for a freighter to be popped, but i thought that i read where a good alpha strike team can down one in under 40 secs.... If "pre-postioning" concord prior to jumping in saves the freighter, then this sounds like the easiest way to combat them. Either that or encourage a bigger blob of gankers... According to Oveur, existing LSAA's already anchored will stay there. kieron Director of Community Relations,
Matsui Hideki	Posted - 2007.11.22 14:35:00 - [7] Pretty sure concord doesn't arrive if the noob ship gets blown up by the gate guns
Maximillian Power Minmatar Brutor tribe	Posted - 2007.11.22 15:24:00 - [8] Originally by: Matsui Hideki Pretty sure concord doesn't arrive if the noob ship gets blown up by the gate guns Correct - also - concord will only stay on one gate in a system - so if you gank at one gate if they are already at another gate in that system then they despawn at the other gate iirc.

That is correct as well.

That is correct as well. so if the gankers already have concord busy as a moon then they aint gonna come running to save you, maybe this explain why people complain at the responce times for concord
Polly Math Alpha-Hirogen	Posted - 2007.11.22 17:07:00 - [11] only thing i dont like is that suicide gankers get insurance payout, which is stupid. just as getting insurance for self destructing your ship.
Kenneth McCoy Vale Heavy Industries Molotov Coalition	Posted - 2007.11.22 17:23:00 - [12] Can you honestly tell me you've been 100% completely honest with your insurance company? 'How'd you lose your Domi, sir?' 'Oh, yeah man, that freighter just came out of warp so fast, I had no chance to stop. He took out a bunch of my buddies too, that insensitive *****. At least his ship blew up too after he recklessly destroyed ours!' 'That's a shame, here's your claim, better luck next time.' My opinions and views are not the official views of my Corp.
Surfin's PlunderBunny Minmatar mUfFiN fAcToRy	Posted - 2007.11.22 18:02:00 - [13] You'll need something that can tank the gate guns long enough for concord to warp in.. a noob ship won't cut it.

Seeker Khan	Posted - 2007.11.22 19:55:00 - [15] Could you not just sit at the gate with a hauler alt and scoop up their ill-gotton gains as and when they pop someone? If you selective who knows you may get that BPO or high end minerals they want. Play them at their own game and steal. If your a nice guy, maybe you give it back to the poor sod, but as there are fewer and fewer nice guys around, keep it.

At least his ship blew up too after he recklessly destroyed ours!' 'That's a shame, here's your claim, better luck next time.' If the police got involved in the incident and blew it up, I don't think the insurance company would really be willing to pay out. On a lighter note, your post made me laugh. :)
Cruthensis Gallente Farmer Killers United Corporations Against Macros	Posted - 2007.11.22 22:23:00 - [17] It's a pretty sound tactic tbh and annoyingly, it's being employed by the 23/7 ice mining ISK farmers we all know and love. If the locals are suiciding them a lot, they use an alt to spawn concord by attacking a can/themselves/an asteroid/whatever and effectively lower the CC response time to zero. Very annoying. 1. Buy Vexor 2. Fit for Gank 3. Suicide ISK farmer 4. Grind sec 5. see 1.
Valron Xizor The Xizor Cartel	Posted - 2007.11.22 22:30:00 - [18] Does not work at a gate in 0.5. Just tried it and ibis went insta pop due to gate guns. No concord reinforcements arrives so back to the drawing board. As previous poster stated, need something that can tank the gate guns long enough for concord backup to arrive.

I simply state that all my deaths are the result of following Kenneth McCoy's lead. ---- VHI - We Haul Your Cargo For Free ---- We Miss you Red 7.

Ming Zhan Alt Corp	Posted - 2007.11.23 06:14:00 - [21] How about a sensor boosted ibis attacking from 160km? When CONCORD spawns at that location, will they be able to shoot all the way to the gate?

Valron Xizor The Xizor Cartel	Posted - 2007.11.23 09:34:00 - [23] Will test some of these ideas out later tonight. Sec hit is very low by the way.
Wesley Baird Murder-Death-Kill	Posted - 2007.11.23 14:09:00 - [24] Hate to burst your bubble, but those who know what they are doing...often end up using the same gate several times in a day...and have developed techniques for pulling concord off of the gate...but the idea is sound and will certainly make life harder for those not as experienced in high sec piracy.
Cpt Fina Mutually Assured Distraction	Posted - 2007.11.23 14:25:00 - [25] Afaik concordspawns are individual. It wont matter if there allready is concord at a gate because another spawn specificly for you and your crime has to get spawned.

It wont matter if there allready is concord at a gate because another spawn specificly for you and your crime has to get spawned. Sure, but before that happens, wouldn't the existing concord spawn attack one of the gankers?
MirrorGod Heretic Army The Covenant Alliance	Posted - 2007.11.23 19:53:00 - [27] You could just, y'know, tank you're hauler a bit. A T1 cruiser can't kill a badger if it has 2000 shield with 50-70% resists across the board :P
Death4free	Posted - 2007.11.23 20:51:00 - [28] Heres a much better idea have a basilisk in ur group with a hauler with tons of t1/t2 bpcs in it (scanners cant tell if its a bpc or bpo) as soon as tey lock slam ur tank on and basilisk immediatly start repping ur shields if u tank out concord for long enough u can snag all the loot from their wrecks and still grab sum bpcs if u die
Hyuuga Veralis Pator Tech School	Posted - 2007.11.23 22:48:00 - [29] You want anti-ganker tactics? Nullify insurance payouts for CONCORD intervention. -------------- Providing standard ammunition creation and disrtibution at a nullsec station near you.
Leora Nomen	Posted - 2007.11.24 00:04:00 - [30] What I read is that Concord spawns specifically for your gank. So if you're in a 0.5 system in a freighter by the gate where someone else already got concordokkened and concord NPCs are flying around, they are not going to respond to you getting killed. You will have to wait 10-30 seconds for your own concord spawn to appear and only it will protect you. The concord that spawned previously for another gank will do nothing for your gank. I haven't tested it, but it makes a lot of sense. Otherwise someone would be able to exploit Concord and use it for additional protection - make Concord NPCs spawn in a 0.5 system by both gates, they will immediately shoot any gangs of suicide gankers, and 0.5 system will be same as 1.0 system in this sense. guide to game time codes
