I think 'naming and shaming' doesn't apply here... it's when you say anything wrong about others. Here nothing wrong, just a normal day in game. A personal point of view doesn't matter, just the facts. And the facts are crystal clear. Peace☮!

Well it is up to you if you want to leave the info there. I can tell you though that people have been sanctioned in the past for posting the in-game names of people that destroyed them - particularly in the terms you used (ganked).
what sucks the most?
Well the moment when you're noob and fly a tiny ship and you are ganked without a warning by experienced anaconda... or few anacondas.
Then all you can do is to wait for this screen where you pay insurance for the ship.
And start over from the station you just left few minutes ago...
ED is great as a single player experience, but terrible as an open MMO.
Hope your experiences will be better.
I better hail the brave roars

Noobs don't fly into Shinra in nonengineered ships. Period. You need to know that Shinra is MOST DANGEROUS system to visit. You want to test your ship and perhaps test your combat skill agaist galaxy's more experienced pilots? Be my guest otherwise fly into Jameson in solo mode. And by the way if you had at least SOME dirty drive thrusters tuning and some basic knowledge on how to submit & evade interdiction you would easily escape and thumb your nose at fat pig Anaconda flying log of a ship.
Further reading. Personally it took me 8-10 rebuy screens to fully test these tactics in open and later on succeed in almost every ship, even in T9. Actually it is not that hard and I found it pretty fun to submit and escape, then it comes to the point THEY don't even bother checking you out because they know you're about to waste their time they would normally spend on someone else. Then it comes to the point where you can use own skills and advantages against them and start breaking their "fun activity"
Guide / Tutorial - Ziljan's Guide to Evading Gankers in Open (or nefarious alts in PG):
The information below has been tested in harsh conditions on DW2, 1600 LY from the nearest respawn, against some of the most notorious gankers in the galaxy. I used this knowledge to evade 1v8 against two wings of SDC gank squads on Distant Worlds 2 in my "squishy" explorer rated ship for 50...
Best way to escape an interdiction
There have been many many threads discussion PvP, PvE, ganking, griefing, etc. etc. Invariably interdictions are discussed but I don't think I've ever seen a very simple, "here's how to escape" post anywhere. It's likely that many know this so this is probably only really helpful to the new...
well, just happened to me as well... larger ship, probably engineered wiping a poor noob Asp Explorer (me). Congrats, this proves you are a great fighterwhat sucks the most?

I really can't see where is the fun in stealing candies from a kid...Thanks mate but you can already stop sending me those links, they don't help
. If just they could help the game mechanics which looks like based on a complete lack of balance between best and worse players. We have highly balanced ships, modules and weapons, I see how much time they put on inventing those connections... but the mutual behaviours between human players, implemented inside computer data, are still in early beta. As a result toxic actions and grief and many people disapointed switching to Solo, eventually quitting. Because of loneliness, boredom, inability to set some upper target or play a story... no real PvE in an indie MMO. Is it still an MMO?...
E: D ?
Never was.
E: D is and has always been a single player game with some tacked-on multiplayer elements.
Return depends on whether you have docked outside the area and increased in rank, as I understand it.
I guess if you relog and check back your last route among the stars, you can figure out was it really your first discovery or simply an usual bug
....was it really your first discovery or simply an usual bug
Great. So more likely a bug. Perhaps the more positive spin, is the first discovery in the bubble for years?
If it's a bug it's a pleasant bug. To be first in the bubble today is like finding needle in a haystack - like they say... and what seems logical
