The quality of the suicide gank I received was absolutely woeful.
With the latest Hulkageddon approaching, I think it might be worth some would-be gankers putting in some serious revision on their ganking tactics.
Yesterday, I was mining in a Covetor. Yes, I know, everyone thinks mining is for fools, etc, but I like having something to do while I do things, and I was playing Gran Turismo so I could hardly do something more attention-demanding than mining, now could I?
I got suicide ganked. Oh well, I thought, it happens, and I'd not bothered to leave a system as high-traffic as Hek, so I surely have only myself to blame.
Except:
To save the hassle of going back to station to deposit loads of ore, I use my own variant of jetcan mining. Which is a jetcan containing a worthless bookmark as a placeholder, into which I put the ore, then immediately switch to my alt, waiting in an industrial, take the ore *out* again, and haul it back without turning off my mining lasers.
I was doing exactly this when the gank happened. Which means that my hauler was right there when my barge popped. An Iteron in the same corp, only a few hundred metres away from the Covetor.
I got all my own modules back... and I got theirs, too. Several million in missile launchers worth 700k + each, a T2 Ballistic Control unit, and several hundred Caldari Navy Terror missiles. My rough estimate is that, barring the mild irritation that I couldn't find a replacement Covetor hull within four jumps, I made a net profit on the attack.
I even salvaged their wrecks. Their three Caracal wrecks.
Three Caracals for one Covetor. One *completely untanked* Covetor. Three overfitted Caracals with far more faction ammo than they could possibly have used.
I realise some gankers do it for "the lulz", not the loots, but I'm not sure the lulz are supposed to go to the ganked carebear, and I'm pretty sure I'm not supposed to make money out of getting ganked.
The suicide gankers better be stepping up their game for Hulkageddon. (During which time no, I will not be mining...) I have Catalysts to shift - this Caracal nonsense has got to go.

Meh, who needs faction ammo? A load of that stuff costs more than the ship I use it with. Thermodynamics are where it's at.

I wouldn't wanne pvp without it, and hey, how much do you need? That's what in your launcher and 1-2 reloads?
The ability to overload doesn't magically stop your ability to use faction ammo, so do both.

agreed spank but have to also agree they must be some n00b gankers to have to use 3 caracals where 1, maybe 2 destroyers would have done the job You guys make squeeky noises when you pop, and that's enough motivation as far as I'm concerned. |

Originally by: OneTimeAt BannedSpank OP is mad.
They said I was mad, and I said they were mad, and damn them, they outvoted me.
(What tipped you off? The allcaps for DISGUSTED? The admission of mild irritation at the lack of convenient replacement hulls? The paragraph breaks? I believe I was quite specific about my emotional state throughout. Alas, I am undone. The fury, the madness - mild irritation and snarky amusement at extreme failganking have overcome me.)
(Was one of them your alt? I didn't name names, your shame is concealed for now.)

I think the OP has a valid point, standards have to be maintained, it's this sort of sloppy behaviour that will ruin the reputation of others that still provide an efficient, high quality gank.
Name and shame I say, it's the only way to make sure it doesn't happen again.
What next? gate camps that greet you and then see you on your way unmolested, it's a terrifying vision for the future.

I have seen this once, too. A guy in a Caracal flies into the belt, locks onto all of us and starts shooting. CONCORD zaps him before he managed to pop anyone.
We were wondering what had happened. After maybe an hour did we check local (we were puzzled by the incident for a while), and the "ganker" did leave a message:
"OMG LOL I thought I was still in low-sec." --

You clearly got targeted by inexperienced suicide gankers. Check out this video...this is how a pro does it. He also took all the loot and salvaged all the wrecks. I think he said he walked away with 200mil in his pocket.

I agree all miners should instantly make there ISK back when you gank them. I suggest Faction Launchers and Arty just to make sure.

I want to be mad too. - I'd tell you why but then I'll have to kill you. And to kill you I'd have to log in. And to log in I'd have to stop browsing these forums. Both you and me knows that'll never happen. |

When it gets me copious free stuff for being AFK in a belt while noobing around the Nurburgring on my PS3, I would like to be mad more frequently.

I totally agree, only today I bought amongst other things a Centus X type large armour repper at Jita 4 - 4. I undocked in a Mammoth and was locked and fired upon, to my suprise my attacker failed to get through my shields! A few jumps out from Jita and well on my way home I was again attacked and again the attacker failed to destroy my ship! I regret not getting their names so I could name and shame them here :( But as the OP said the standard of suicide ganking has taken a dive.
