As reported elsewhere, I also found this out tonight. Join the fleetcom private group.
Yeah I'm already in there. I saw people in system chat about the gankers. I suggest the rest to join the group as well, it's quite fun.

It was only four ships destroyed a couple of hours ago. (this only includes EDSM users)

Makes the case for why to fly heavy instead of in a paper bag.
Paper bags are fine if you aren't in open.

If it was unsurprising, then the victims should have been prepared.
Why prepare, if you can scream bloody murder afterwards...
Sure in Open one should suck it up if ganked, in a non-harassment manner.
Don't want to be ganked? Play in Solo / PG.
The only thing I find disappointed is the mah immersion aspect. Gal Net notes DW2 is upcoming (so The Game acknowledges it's existence), for consistent logic one would think security would be upped, and say have some ATR camped out ready, given the numbers and type of ships involved.
Anyway, meh. Same-old, same-old.
If the gankers jump into the DW PGs, then screenshot / video, combat log on them (allowed in these PGs iirc), and report to FDev.

We have a lot of new players around, would be a shame if they got bullied out of the game now.
Exactly this.
As an old school player and with lots of money in the bank I wasn't particularly bothered, (except for my rare alcohols), but new players could easily quit the game because of this.
While I generally agree that ganking is bad for new players and will cause some quits, I don't believe there are that many really new players who join DW2.
OP: Only if you are unwise enough to do this in open, it's why we have the FleetComm PG: https://discordapp.com/invite/0hKG2qb9ODixa7Iz

Who chose the jump-off point? I mean, when the DW beacon went in, who chose what system it would be added to?

I think many new players are more resilient than you give them credit for.
Probably Frontier or Kamzel.

My impression has been that the site was chosen because it's on the inner edge of the bubble.
All I'm saying in regards to security is that if a player had input into where the beacon and jump-off point should go, he might have chosen a more secure system.
Good point (with your follow up also). I would think that it wouldn't have been very difficult at all for the organizers to recruit a CAP of PvPr's to be at the jump off point on the appointed day for insurance and some great entertainment.
