The gankers are f'ing with your business. Pirates need to do something.
PvP Who else loves annoying gankers and denying them their prey?

Because gankers and griefers make louder noises.
This is very true.
From my perspective a ganked player is simply a player that will go solo/pg, less interaction and fun for me.
Unfortunately, not many of those are interested in learning evasion or even simply checking inara to see where players are being destroyed to avoid those places.
But that’s another topic.

Before I got gud (TM) I used to harass gankin' types with an iEagle and an interdictor.
One fella got so upset about it, he threatened to report me for harassment, while spewing vitriol in local. It's one of my fondest Elite memories.

Former ganker here. Never really bothered me. Sometimes you'd get lucky and their overconfidence would be their undoing (like a fast, lightly armored ship doing a close pass and getting smoked anyway).
We should dig up Shini's station gank video and share it here.
Imagine barely making it inside a station, and instead of descending 50m to the safety of a landing pad, you take a moment to type 'neener neener' in local-- just to lose your cutter inside the station to a kamikaze attack.
Glorious.
Don't get too cocky, yall.
Oh, I feel like I should mention a fella named Orehound.
Xbox legend, I tell ya.
He always flew an ultra-fast Orca, and would talk trash to anyone who pulled him.
"Lol too slow GG."
Instead of trolling in a peasant spacecraft like I did, this guy did it in a 120 million Cr. luxury yacht lol. Never was able to kill that guy, he disappeared before my assassinorca was finished.

That video was so good. Did you ever see Nnpoppon's kill on LordWeatherholt's Courier? Came out of nowhere on my screen and just delete.
No, but I'll have to find it. That courier of his has been hassling me on and off ever since I started PvP a couple years back lol.
Oddly enough, I think the only time I ever killed it was in an Orca.

I've had probably 20 people pull me in couriers and try the same thing and almost every one of them eventually get overconfident in their straight-line speed and try to buzz me. Guess what happens when a 800 m/s paper courier and a 550 m/s FDL meet head on?

Big badda boom?
Little badda boom. Those Couriers aren't very big!
Can confirm.
You're much better off trolling in something a tiny bit slower with more armor.
800m/s is overkill when the average FDL goes 550 or so. A more modest 700 with hull is waaaaaay more responsible.

Best way to avoid gankers is boost away in a straight line, and roll. Just before you die always remember to bring up the task manager (Ctrl+Alt+Del) and kill the elitedangerous64.exe task.
The gankers will never get you then.
