So I was in a shuttle carrying a nightmare BPC, was heading towards Jita on autopilot, about 8 jumps out, was planning to switch back to manual pilot once i reached the 'gank region'.
I warped the default distance away from the jump gate. Was playing on windowed mode while surfing eve-o, i clicked back to check on my progress and i realise that this Harbringer has just started to lock me.
Can't be good. I switch off autopilot, and randomly warp to another gate in the system, thats when the shot hit me, first took out my shield and the next short brought me to half structure before I managed to enter warp...
The last thing I saw before warping off was 'CONCORD police officer tried to warp scramble XXX'
Brought a smile to my face..and i smiled even bigger when i passed by his wreck after repairing :)

Edited by: Flinx Evenstar on 25/10/2007 02:04:42 BPC in a shuttle...autopilot, alt tabbing while surfing EVE-O
OP is made of win
And if he locked you and shot before you warped
A: you are too slow ( shuttles insta warp before an inty can lock them ) B: he had no scram
So yes..you got lucky, am sure your post would be very different had he scrammed you
I, erm, like kill things and stuff |

If you had a nightmare bpc why the hell would you be carrying it in a shuttle? Better yet why would you even look away from the screen at all with something that valuable in your hold? -=YYYAAAAARRRRRRR!!!!!=- Winning or Losing doesn't matter, as long as the fight itself was good.

Because he's an idiot and feels the need to gloat that an entity built into the game is the only reason he has any kind of chance to survive in the first place.
Makes me wonder if i should just suicide gank in a cheap cruiser if people are running around in shuttles with valuables.
Passive Targeter + Cargo Scanner + 2x Target Painter + 5x Heavies sounds like a good plan. evil prevails when good men do nothing. |

as above, its give and take, so i lose a 6mil brutix...say twice in a row losing 12 mil total after insurance yet on the 3rd gank i drop 800mils worth of loot.. you think its wroth it? i do :)
If you cant lose you dont really win as its nothing fun, just normal.

Actually, I'd like to hear more stories about failed suicide ganks. Preferably from freighter pilots.

That would be more interesting than some "genius" who thought that the best transport vessel for an expensive BPC, is a 9k isk shuttle...
on auto pilot...whilst alt tabbing who got very lucky that the gank guy didn't activate his scram
I could add a better story than the shuttle one. I was sitting in a belt on my alt in that useless minmatar mining cruiser. Yes, I mine on my alt sometimes I have BPO's and try to avoid paying for minerals etc.
Anywayz....a privateer vagabond enters belt. It's 0.5 sec, so am thinking, ok he wants to flip can or something, but no, he locks me up. Then he scrams me...and starts shooting. Nice damage, but I just sat still and tanked him with the rats on me for about 30 secs.
When I lost my shields and started to see my armour melt...these concord ships showed up, and BBQ'd him in about 10 seconds
So I then scooped his T2 guns T2 Gyros and Shield extenders left my crappy minerals in the jet can and docked up
He then said in local...ooops, thought it was low sec
I, erm, like kill things and stuff |

I once tranported my Nightmare BPC and the zydrine and megacyte needed to build it through Jita... It is like atleast 1 year since but still ... never had a tought of how dangerous it was
BTW I then used a plain Iteron MK 4 with no stabs or protection, and it was slooooooow. Was also semi-afk too like OP ---------------------------------------------- "When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child: now that I am become a man, I have put away childish things." 1 cor. |

I try not to talk too much about suicide ganking because the false information out there is just too good. However I'll humor you with this story since the OP is seriously lacking and I'm bored.
Back when everyone thought Domis with Ogres was the way to do hi-sec freighter takedowns my corp began researching on sisi what was required with the new CONCORD changes as well as the mechanics of freighter wreck looting. We had it down to a T. We must've done 10 hours of practice runs on Sisi. Anyway to the story...
We assemble our gang. We get a count of our ships. Scanners are working away while the rest of the gang is playing mini golf flash games or some *******s. I manage to scan this beauty and immediately yell out that we have a target-- Freighter Contents We get into position and the freighter appears. "Get into range! Deploy drones! Overload Racks! Prime weapons! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! FIRE FIRE FIRE!" Lots of messages, tons of lag, and then the massive CONCORD spawn later.... "Did we get it? Is it dead?!" Freighter HP
Someone had miscounted our ship total. That or someone left. Anyway the point is we're all sitting there in our pods banging our heads on the table. I can only imagine what the freighter guy was thinking. I tracked him. He went to another stargate, docked up in the next station, unloaded his cargo and sat in space for something like 45 minutes being remote hull repaired by a hyperion with 6 small repairers (remote hull reps had just been recently implemented). He logged and I don't think we ever heard from him.

Expensive rigs counter suicide ganks. But since you can't FORCE me to install rigs \o/
When that insurance period is coming to an end, do I re-insure? or do I blow the ship, get a new one for free, and insure that one instead?
Cue rant about insurance.
Ok, here's the other thing. Drakes counter suicide ganks. Don't ever try to gank a Hulk with a Drake. You're not going to lose isk if it's the end of the insurance period, but you are going to lose face. Publicly.
Gaven Blands dislikes failed suicide ganks. -- Awwwww Diddums! Did I wardec your highsec alt recently or something? |
