Looking for legal ways to irritate gankers in Open that are fun, cheap, easy and cheesy.

I completely understand those who hate being shot out of the blue in Open and I completely understand the right to be able to do so. So to show my support of both viewpoints i would like to help mitigate ganking and celebrate ganking by using my fleet of Sidewinders to be a PITA to gankers around Jameson or CG sites in Open. Any suggestions?

Here are two strategies of which I know:

1. Use an unshielded Sidey and sandwich between ganker and gankee.
a. how can i further compromise my sidey to insure instadeath upon contact with ganker?
b. would I have to put DD5s on the Sidey if my piloting skills are still in infancy?
c. can I just Kamikaze into gankers? Would they get a bounty?

2. Repeatedly attempt frameshift interdictions on known gankers
a. I realize this is considered griefing. But it's still in the rules, right?
b. what interdictor , scanner or other engineering mods would be the most helpful?

Any suggestion would be very much appreciated. Please keep in mind that although I have elite status in Combat, i am probably a worse pilot than my would be playmates. I really don't care about blowing them up, although that would be a plus. I just want to be an effective irritant. Also, all my Sidewinders are prepared to sacrifice themselves.


Thank you very much.

Make an imperial courier very fast.

Strap on an interdictor.

Fill it with heat sinks.

Pull targets out of SC and then run away.

Repeat.

Or just try staying out of their way.

Or fit a fast ship Cobra 3, Viper 3, iCourier with mines (ion disruptor and reverb cascade specials) trundles around and get interdicted or interdict them, run away dropping mines to reboot their thrusters and drop the shields wake out and repeat.

Load the cargo bays full with biowaste, then drop it on any cmdr who tries to intercept you.

EDIT: Damn, ninjad.

Other than the speedy getaway interdiction pain there's also hulltanking full of precious metals then menu-quitting - it's allowed in the game, go crazy

Aren't you just giving them EXACTLY what they want? You're modifying your behaviour because of them...you're reacting to them, you're engaging with them...
You might think that being fast/careless/evading them/interdicting them...but really you're just feeding their pathetic fantasies...
The way to show true contempt for these social inadequates is to ignore them...avoid them...

We've seen quite enough evidence in recent days of how parts of the Elite Dangerous:Community is the most Toxic and Maladjusted Gaming Community i've ever been part of (obviously only applies to a minority of players) WITHOUT giving them more credence and credibility by acknowledging their existence and validating their behaviour...

Naw, I respect respectful pirates. They, too, have to feed their kids. I'm just after those into nonconsensual combat.

Know what the most annoying thing ye can do? Thats easy...ignore them...otherwise ye lose the moral high ground when ye go on the offensive because ye just lost the game. They wanted to provoke ye and provoke ye they do when ye talk about getting yer own back. Just ignore them either by playing in a mode where they become a non issue entirely, or grow a thicker skin and just blank them ^

I've seen enough evidence of how a lot of the Elite Dangerous community mirrors real life politics. The one side spewing hate at the other thinking that they aren't to blame, accusing the other side of what the accuser themselves are guilty of, the faux outrage/over sensitivity - it amazes me how much of the player base lacks any sort of self awareness. This is one of the biggest reasons why I don't care about other players and tend to stay off of the forums now. If I wanted to hear about social inadequates or pathetic fantasies or whatever the "rightfully outraged" want to spew out I could go to a political website.

How many gaming communities have you been a part of? Go on, be honest. This is your first, isn't it?

Imperial eagle with the enhanced thrusters from Palin g5 dd'd, 2xc1 reverb cas mines, and 1xc2 g5 (yes g5) long range rail, super penetrator. Once the shields go down, you get out about 4k, while still having a good 1k wiggle room to fly backwards while taking out modules, and they cant even get their weapons in range.

Black Friday paint job, for added annoyance when they're tryna hit you with PA and Rail combos.

Cost of rebuy on the iEagle = Cheap as chips
The feeling when being interdicted, of "Come on then!" rather than "Oh <expletive>!" = Priceless
