Gank Evasion Academy
- Thread starter Sir Ganksalot
- Start date
Gave up on open when the cheaters showed up. Been out of the loop so I don't know if Fdev did any thing to deal with those kinds of mods.
Well done, Sir Ganksalot, for offering to help. In the past (when new Players didn't have a safe starting area) I used to help them out with advise and Trade Dividends.
After a long week, yesterday I went looking for some gankers I could kill around Jameson. There were none. First of all gankers seem to be the word that I'm not allowed to use, the one that is a synonym for the female genitalia, and secondly they ruin the game. Well done lads. At least try to gank me so we can have some fun. I shouldn't be hard to find, but I do bite back.
I may come over to try the interdiction mini-game PvP though - due to my play style I get no practice in that, and I don't want to attack someone myself, on PS though so it may be a while,
where's the academy at ? Jameson ?

I think that's the OP point, and I can relate to it. This offer is not for those, that want 'uninterreupted game', as you say, we already got Solo for that.
This is an offer for those of us, who don't mind a bit of player interruption, but would like a fighting chance to survive it by escaping the gank through skill.
I am all for this idea OP. If you ever manage to expand to PS4, and I am not consumed by space madness and eventually make it back to civilized space, I would definitely be up for it!
"Right On Commander"
Fair enough
There's a system known for 'gankers' here in Colonia too apparently, 'Carasco' or something like it.
I heard they attack you if you carry a warrant scanner.
May check it out later, I suspect most of the professionals are on PC idk.

I actually make a point of staying in Open even when visiting Ganker-prone systems, at least initially. I must admit, that I broke that "rule" once though, and that was when I carried my hard-earned 1T of Meta-Alloys to Farseer. It took me quite a while to find it 'in the wild', and I couldn't bear loosing it so close to my objective. Once delivered, I have always gone to Deciat and other engineering systems in Open though.
Only time I actually got ganked was at the last CG, delivering beer and wine to New Years celebrations in Reorte. After that, I started studying tactics on how to avoid gankers.
i have been offering gank training for a while now, very few pass the academy
1) As soon as interdiction starts go to menu, wait 15 seconds and log out.
2) collect salt
3) there is no step 3

I play in open alot. Have been ganked as a noob whilst engineering weps at deciat. I'd disabled weps cos the new ships dizzy hadn't been engineered yet. No big deal.
But l learned.
I always have radar on maximum range so I can see em coming.
Wen they or he/she does interdict it depends wot I'm flying.
In my vette cobra 3 or FDL I fight. Drop throttle so they take a hit coming out of hyperspace
Pop a chaff pop a heatsink boost gone... or.. fight em hard. My fdl is capable ha although not at the moment it's wepped for thargoids atm. So great idea Yes I think ops post is.

There are several things that can go wrong with that, you know?
Hmm.
I almost always have a jump destination set, I almost never actually need to use it though
There is a difference between removing the possibility of having these encounters and mitigating the risks of them. Ganksalot might have worded things better, but I thought the intent was clear.
