With the gloryfied community Goal now ongoing i saw quite a few people trying to Gank.
So i thought ill list some things on wich you can easily identify a Ganker / Griefer and block them before they can even interdict you. Blocking them makes it ALMOST impossible for them to get in the same instance as you or even interdict you because they dont show up in your instance after interdicting you.
First sign of a Ganker / Griefer: An absoutely stupid name like: Achickenforallseasons, Alottarebuya, Randomtwelveyearoldwizzard, Saltedcottoncandy.
Second sign of a Griefer / Ganker: A Holo Me looking like a Zebra fell into 20 Buckets of different Colors. Preferably very old ones.
Third sign of a Griefer / Ganker: A Cutter, Corvette or Anaconda on a Community Goal that only supports small and Midsize ships. Beware of FDLs too.
If you see one of those Signs or even ALL of them and you dont wanna get ganked in your little Diamondback or ASP, block that Person. If they somehow manage to get in the same instance with you and pull you out (if you both share a Friend on the FL this CAN happen), Dobt forget to HIGH WAKE, not low wake since high wake dont suffer from Mass lock.
Btw: Dont mistake a Player-Pirate for a Griefer, a Pirate will never just kill you, he will interdict you, scan you for Cargo, steal your Cargo and then go. A Pirate only kills if you are Rude to him or dont oblige to his requests.
Have a good Day and good Luck on the new Community Goal.
Edit: Woah, calm down Friends, it was more of a "fun Thread" and i thought the Zebra with 20 different Colors made sure people would understand that.
Dontcha get so angry everyone.
Better advice to avoid gankers:
1)
Do not follow the “forum recommended” Supercruise Technique - Rather than heading straight to your destination, fly
out of the ecliptic where there is less mass to slow you down, and where there’s less clutter on your scanner. Not only will it get you to your destination faster, but it makes anyone flying towards you stand out more.
2)
Do not follow the “forum recommended” Supercruise Technique - Rather than throttling down to avoid the so-called “loop of shame,” keep your throttle at full, skim the planetary exclusion zone, perform a “loop of knowing what the frell you are doing,” and generally take advantage of the braking effects mass has on our FSDs. Not only will it get to your destination faster, but a fast moving and maneuvering ship is a lot harder to
start interdicting than a ship that is traveling slowly in a straight line.
3)
Do not follow the “forum recommended” Supercruise Technique - Seriously, it’s slow, leaves you vulnerable to interdiction by both Players and NPCs, and it’s about as exciting as watching paint dry. Don’t do it.
4) Don’t be afraid to sacrifice a little cargo capacity and jump range for strong shields, powerful engines, power distributors to maximize your boost rate, and a power plant to run them all. Your cargo is probably worth more than your rebuy. Why risk it by carrying it on a piñata of a ship?
5) Should the worst happens, and you’rer interdicted successfully, don’t run. Running just makes you an easy target to shoot. Instead, try to maneuver into their si until you can jump out. Barring that, keep out of their firing arc, or at least boost towards them. Anything to minimize the time you spend in their sights.
