I can see the DCU II (and maybe even Local Hull Reinforced Bulkheads) becoming standard fitting on Exhumers for the next few weeks. . .
Oh, and Jihadswarm, post your losses.

One might assume that they are partialy in it for profit.
Ie maybe they have a big stockpile of minerals they want to sell, after the prices have increased due to reduced supply.
Or they are making the very ships they are ganking, and wanted to increase demand.
Those would both be very rational reasons for doing it.
Alternativly they just find it fun.
Or, they could just be doing it because it gives bored Goons something to shoot besides BoB or blues. And if said Goons cannot get to the front, you can be sure the leadership want them shooting something that is at least, not actively on their side.

It's actually a brilliant strategy to dominate 0.0. They are mostly targeting ice miners who keep the empire ice costs relatively low. By eliminating or scaring them off the price will increase, making the maintenance and/or taking of 0.0 space using POS's more costly. Large alliances, however, will have enough 'safe' space to be able to mine their own ice in 0.0 or to have resident corps who mine it and put it on the market. I'm guessing this is the plan and in my opinion is a very crafty one. This whole venture is easily financed by one or two Dysprosium moons in 0.0. Either that or they are extremely bored...
Does anyone know if you already have existing concord in a belt if the response time is quicker? If you bring an alt in a noob ship and attack yourself you can effectively build up a concord force to protect a belt. Not sure if that increases response time.
I'm guessing they're extremely bored. Or at least, this wasn't planned, and grew out of some joke among the Goons into a larger set of ganks. Now it looks even bigger because we're making 18 (Edit: 19!) page threads yelling about it.
As for CONCORD, I believe they do respond immediately to aggression when they're already in the area. I was in a Kestrel when someone tricked another player (also in a Kestrel) into suicide attacking me. CONCORD spawned and spanked him. A few minutes later in the same belt, a Raven tried to kill me. Only one missile out of his volley actually hit me, and CONCORD proceeded to gank him. Unfortunately he had corpmates nearby, so I couldn't loot him. I did get the salvage though. The funny thing is, I wasn't even carrying anything remotely valuable!
