so pretty much you pay about 200mill (insurance + fitting) and you can gank any bs in high sec. wonder how is this balance.

This is a very fantastic thread, with numerous well thought out points of concern around which we can base a discussion.

Well... Because they are willing pay 200m + time and coordination to gank a BS in high sec?
Sounds balanced to me.
They pay a substantial amount to gank your BS. Perhaps the solution is to not fly around with enough mods that blowing 200mil and a good portion of time on killing you is worth it?
As per your own post, a standard BS with a cheap fit is obviously effective. Especially, and I know this is a bit novel, if you bring a couple of friends with you on your missions.
Now, I don't condone suicide ganking. But I don't condone whining either. --------------

You're condining suicide ganking, just admit it to yourself.
How now are people supposed to move anything of value without being taken out?

Well, perhaps I didn't word that correctly. I don't choose to engage in it myself, but I recognize it as a valid activity. Is that better?
And it is simple, use a cov ops or interceptor. If you get ganked moving something valuable in one of those, you probably deserved it. Hell, with warp to 0, you can probably even use a fatter ship. It isn't that big a deal unless you are AFK.
Tell you what: -Make a new character (Make sure it is Achura, trying to powergame 4tw).
-Have him make a new corp. Get your friends to put their noob alts in the corp too.
-Give it a stupid typical description (Honor and loyalty blah blah blah, friends having fun together blah blah blah)
-Make sure everyone has either the NPC damage types or a wrecking hit on a Guristas mission cruiser in their bio
-Break out the kessie bpo
-Voila, you can move stuff with virtual impunity as long as you aren't afk (And the standard noob corp look gives you a touch of afk protection even) all for the low low cost of 55 million isk. 5 for the corp and kessies, 50m for my consultancy fee. --------------

I've often moved billions worth of isk in 1 haul over 20 jumps and never got ganked. Use a transport ship and do not fly afk, noone will be able to gank you.
But i do not use this character to move it

Edited by: Lord WarATron on 06/04/2008 09:23:46 Edited by: Lord WarATron on 06/04/2008 09:23:11 If you have a lootcan likely to drop more than a 300mil, then you are going to get ganked eventually if you become prdictable. AFK or not.
Need to run lvl4's? Use fully t2 setups with no more than 4-6 navy items. Gist & Estamel fitted CNR for missions? You will get ganked eventually, mid mission or in gates. Its called adapt, because if you fly 4bil fitouts in a 450mil ship, expect 5-6 overheated rage torp ravens to gank you. Use fully t2 permatank fits insted. E.G
Golem t2 permatank fit ( drop flux's if you dont need permatank afk lvl4 setup) H: 4 x Cruise, 3 x whatever M: X-Large Booster II, Amp II, 3 x Hardner II, 2 x Cap recharger II L: 2 x Bcu II, 2 x Flux II R: 2 x CCC II (T1's only if you have good cap skills/implants)
Nightmare t2 permatank fit (drop flux if you dont need permatank) H: 4 x Tach II, rest whatever M: X-large Booster II, Amp II, 3 x Hardner II, 2 x Cap recharger II L: Heatsink II, 4 x Flux II R: 2 x CCC, 1 x CCC II
Use your isk on implants insted of juicy loot. Do not complain because someone ganked a 4bil isk fitout on a 450mil ship. Heck, people will gank a 4bil loot on a freightor. Use t2 fitted setups if you do not like ganks. Spend your isk on damage implants and t2 rigs insted of droppable loot. --

And people wonder why I urge everybody I know to move out of the Aramachi/Saila/Laah/Motsu "Doom Quadrilater"... ...seriously, what did you expect ? Fit so much expensive stuff on a ship, and it's BEGGING for a gank. Especially in a place filled with several people sporting similar fits, so there's plenty of wannabe gankers around.

This is obviously nonsense. Anyone who tells you to deviate from your boring, predictable routine of grinding is is obviously trying to keep you from maximum profits. Also, all this talk of suicide ganking is really just hype to deflate the prices of high-end goods due to decreased demand. The best course of action is to keep on doing what you're doing currently, and to pimp out your ships now, especially with Gist Shield Boosters.

ok
[warning: eft references] raven + full skills + 5x bcu + 6x t2 siege launchers loaded with rage torps = 1073 dps
1261 dps * 20 seconds concord takes to arrive < effective hp of battleship

how can 1 raven with overheated torps take out another bs again? Unofficial Official Jita Fubar Thread |

lol.. iread that one raven ganked hes ship... acctually 5 ravens ganked hes ship :P

why did you fit such expencive fit on one ship ?? you dont need it.
and today i saved one guy from makeing the same mistake whit hes CNR... made one of my friends sell half of hes loot on the CNR because he would have probably been next on the list of getting ganked :P ---------------------------------- MY VIEW ARE MY OWN, I DON'T REPRESENT MY CORPORATIONS VIEWS HERE... stop mailing me.. plz

Edited by: Gamesguy on 06/04/2008 10:12:34 Instead of spending 2b on a gist x-type booster, why not just spend less than 2b on a HG crystal set + a cheap pith-c type booster worth only a couple hundred mil?
You'd get the exact same results and you wont be ganked.
