Kills of the Week

You know what this is about. You know, based on past experience, that this post will highlight some of our kills from the week of May 31st @ 00:00 EVEtime through June 6th @ 23:59 EVEtime. Even a bot-aspirant can understand this. But sometimes there's a difference between grasping something on an intellectual level and really getting it. If you want to hold the nature of the carebear in your own two hands, and feel why they need to be ganked, here's a good kill for you:



It's a scandal! The New Order is hurting the caretakers of sick babies! Right? Let's take a closer look at the fellow who was ganked...


wootts nottoow had two responsibilities to handle this Friday afternoon: Taking care of his sick baby and autopiloting in a shuttle. Naturally, he thought, "Why not do both?" He went AFK to care for his child, and went AFB (Away From Baby) to care for his Minmatar Shuttle. Agent holdmybeer put a stop to one of those activities.

Uh oh. The shuttle was worth 1.7 billion isk. It can't be... No. Don't do this to highsec. Not like this.


The truth can be painful. Our friend wootts nottoow took time from caring for a sick baby so he could haul around PLEX in a shuttle. Oh, and afterward he went AFB to write the complaint letter to our Agent who ganked him.

To be honest, the Kills of the Week post could end right here and the point would be made, but let's keep going.



Debieduz Feidwier had a dilemma. On the one hand, she needed extra room for cargo in her already flimsy industrial ship. On the other hand, apparently Debieduz prefers to structure tank. She compromised. Agent Jason Kusion somehow managed to overwhelm the structure reps and destroy the ship.


Of the billion isk in cargo, 900 million of it was from two skillbooks. No wonder she needed all of that cargo space.



Zaploid Preldent was taunting the New Order about not needing a mining permit. She had a Skiff, and we all know Skiffs are unkillable. Agent Emelie Petra was deeply offended by the notion that the Code applies to less than 100% of highsec mining vessels. Emelie declared war against Zaploid's corporation. Here's how the war stands:


Six and a half billion isk of bot-aspirancy has been vaporized, with no losses. Someone ought to tell that Skiff pilot that only the Invincible Stabber is unkillable.



At a certain point, everyone in highsec must decide whether to put their trust in the Code, or in EHP. CHALABALA, of Tax Haven 76 corp, thought hitpoints were all he needed, so he went AFK in a Bowhead. Highsec may be a haven, but not for tax-cheating carebears. The New Order expects and demands that every industrialist pay his fair share. If they don't, they risk getting an antimatter audit. Agents Jason Kusion, 412nv Yaken, unknown boat, loyalanon, Sophia Soprano, karma balancer, reaper Shardani, BAE B BLUE, holdmybeer, and Dixon Vag added the Bowhead to the Niarja graveyard.



Alexey Chernu's Mackinaw isn't remarkable, but Alexey himself is. Agents Sophia Soprano, Mildron Klinker, Sasha Cohenberg, Lisa Tears, loyalanon, OogaBooga WhereDa, Steven Latrec, and Mark Eting all teamed up to get on Alexey's killmail. You need to look at Alexey's killboard to see why:


Alexey has spent the last year losing an astonishing 23 mining barges and 53 exhumers, mostly to the New Order. How many times will we gank him? As many as it takes. The pain stops when the Code's pleasure begins.


Agent ST0NER SMURF raised a storm of controversy when he popped this 11.8 billion isk pod. Based on the age of the pod owner's character, and the fact that other high-value pods from the same corp were killed in rapid succession, killboard watchers concluded that the kills were staged for the sake of stat padding. Reddit was in an uproar. It wasn't due to anti-CODEdot bias in this case; it was actually about ethics in killboard statistics.


Agent ST0NER SMURF responded to all of the clamor in exactly the way you'd expect from a New Order Agent--he went right on killing Code violators. Jhona McCloud Mayfair lost 4.1 billion isk worth of implants. That's even worse than a downvote.

    3. You know, this is a pretty good ploy by the New Order to draw miners to these systems.

      Because any idiot can see that miners are being slaughtered left and right in Hakeri by CODE. It's practically a New Order kill orgy.

      Well played CODE. Well played.

    3. There must be a lot of evil docked up in your station in an NPC corp; because you sure spend a lot of time there hiding from CODE. wardecs :P

    4. hiding from wardeccs? No need to hide when you can trivially roll corp for an easy 30-1 victory.

  10. CODE provides entertainment. Was scanning data sites, when the shitstorm in the local began. Fortunately me and another miner could calm down the situation and transform it into a civil discussion about game mechanics and the role of gankers in EVE. A good deed every day. :)

    Plus CODE has competitors. A few days ago a Hulk (?) and an Orca were ambushed by some other guys.

    2. But suppose they offer me a mining permit for 5 M that`s valid for 2 years. Don`t get me wrong, but I surely would think about it. :D

      Delete
    3. A proper mining permit is 10 million per year. Anything less than that is extortion.

      Delete
    4. take the 5 mill one it's more legit than anything the code philistines offer. :)

  11. Man, that reddit thread is full of so much anger. They're soooooo *angry* about how people choose to spend their internet spaceship money.

    Carebears and rebels take the game too seriously.

  14. Another Kill of the week - Veers Corp XD

  15. If I want to drop a ship on field next to a victim, is this good? I can mine in range, passive target, scan for goodies, then on a kill from a second ship, pick up the drops with this and dock up to wait out the suspect timer. The Passive Targeter would not alert the victim to a lock+scan, and the mining module is just there - like the tank - to make them think I'm just mining as well.

    1. Yeah that will work. Keep in mind though that the enemy will see through the ruse after awhile so you will want to mix it up a bit.

    2. Might want to remove the Expanded Cargohold for something else though. It will lower your EHP. Try a mining upgrade I or a power diagnostic I there.
