Eve Online : 50 Minutes of Ganking Tips

Eve Online : 50 Minutes of Ganking Tips
50 minutes of sitting in with a high-sec gate-ganking Thrasher pilot.
Tips on fitting, technique, targets, discipline and what to expect from other pilots.
Note - this is Eve Ugly. As with all Eve opinions, most people will disagree. This isn't gospel. This is just what works for me.

It just blows my mind that there are people that actually transport skill injectors and plex around...

[@peterstanbury3833]

Fascinating to watch. I must say that until I saw this, I'd just been piling up loot and stuff in my cargo hold and letting it collect there until returning to home base every few days.....but now I've seen this I know to not travel about too much with loads in cargo.

[@Redishere]

Without gankers there is no risk and so the rewards would become worthless. Thank you for making the game worthwhile. Best regards a transporter.

[@batavium5775]

I'm glad I found your video. I was in ABA few years ago. I remember your kills at the time, expensive cargos, loot ... Good job dude, there's a lot of patience needed for that kind of hunt/activity. I couldn't do that on my own. Happy New Year by the way. My greetings to Rixx ;)

[@epithos]

Thanks for the interesting vid and good audio quality.

[@Camelboy68]

Fascinating stuff

[@FuaConsternation]

09:30 just noticed you using mouse clicks. did you know there's a customizable hotkey for "unlock all targets"? i map it to 'backspace' myself but i'll bet you'd benefit from using 'spacebar' (i have the latter set for Dscan, but you might profit with it being unlock all?)

[@ClashClash89]

Mentions suiciding pilot for killrights "If the only way you can get kills, is to do that, thats pretty sad.... but then the way i play it is pretty sad as well." Self-awareness is the first step to.... i dunno .... but it supposed to lead somewhere... -From a Tornado Pilot shooting flashies at the Jita 4-4 undock ^^P

[@larsholdgaard4284]

I just love the romantic sweet music to murder and robbery.. wonderful..lol

[@kimasher]

Kind of liked the gentle flow of this. It reminded me of being a gate camping pirate years ago. :-)

[@Car_Mo]

Appreciate hearing and learning from someone who does this for the challenge and ISK, instead of killboard paddning and tear mining.

[@redridgeguy]

Good tutorial

[@PiPiIndustries]

Nice to hear the thought of people on the other side of the fence :) Good stuff. Subbed to keep track on your deeds :) Also just a note even as a hauler I strongly feel that you and your culture keeps this game interesting instead just no modules except cargo expanders. The darkside keeps the economy going too. Cheer and hopefully I won't meet you in space looking down at your turrets :D

[@MichaelNichol]

ditto cool video

[@FuaConsternation]

04:45 query: why would you worry about the griffin when, with green safety, you could prevent it going suspect - but still have the ability to get that target lock. (you wouldn't need to boost anymore once locked, amirite?) [edit: nvm, i misunderstood what you said cuz you mention the green safety at 22:30]

[@Armuotas]

I quite enjoyed the video. The calm soothing delivery of short stories and tips was a perfect background filler for my routine ratting run.

[@zeehero7280]

By ganking are you referring specifically to suicide ganking aka hisec? I'm really not interested much in doing that, unless the Festival of the Burning of Jita comes around again so maybe I can participate lol. I am interested in low, null and wormhole pvp of all kinds.

[@johndavid1708]

does a miasmos nicely defensively fitter can tank a tornado alpha strike or no way ? also whats the fastest way to keep your security status high anough when falling under 2 ? i've read belt rating

[@sabru72]

Agree with some of the comments here. Just today, as I exited my little T1 Abyss in Jita, some dude was waiting for me and went for a gank. I managed to escape. No hard feelings and I'm thankful for the adrenaline rush. I did camp out in the station for an hour after that though.

[@FuaConsternation]

05:45 query: why aren't you copy/pasting that cargo scan into evepraisal? [edit: ah...okay, you answer that at the 11 minute mark.]

[@stayferal291]

What is your get away driver fit?

[@tweedspeculum6820]

are you still monitoring this? I would love to ask questions. so is the griffin just buffing the fleet? your sitting in the getaway right?

[@davidd9707]

3 ships(characters): 1 trasher, 1 griffin, and 1 magnate. The magnate is the one who takes the loot. It's a small ship with decent cargo space.

[@battlecruiserna]

you might be a ganker in video game but you make up for it by saving billions of lives by wearing a mask indoors in your own home, and alone by yourself

[@MacGybo]

The mask is to protect you from my face.

[@EricT43]

Hope you do more videos like this, it was very interesting. I do a lot of hauling and it's interesting to see how the other side operates. Without gankers, people would haul their own stuff and I'd be out of business. I have a lot of respect for the pros like yourself.

[@lukasmurch6976]

I lost a ship last night, hauling a lot of minerals (I'm dumb). Found this video trying to get smarter.

[@silentedge69]

Grand Master MacGybo! Love ya work! How many SP you sitting on man?

[@MacGybo]

Not that much considering how long I've been around

[@DrunkenGuitarGuy]

did the smurf guy quit?? he was pretty prolific in the amarr area!

[@Louckeable]

Satan cannot be everywhere at once, he thanks you for your service. :)

[@JulianMakes]

At What cargo cost do you deem it’s worth ganking for? Interesting video thanks

[@scootermcgooginhime2464]

I’ve been doing hauling but …the dark side is calling

[@garye208]

What do you do to increase your security status?

[@ostbiti]

You buy tags.

[@kwame999]

kill the clone soldiers, get the tags, best ones in 0.1 and then the worst ones are in 0.4

[@BlessMyTongs]

Very interesting video. Eve is a sandbox. You can be who you want. Even if for the majority, you’re nasty and on the wrong side. I lost a Golem in Lanngisi : I learned the hard way 😉 You’re the salt. That’s it 😉

[@markusmaximus629]

How many monitors do you use?

[@MacGybo]

Hi Markus. One for gameplay, another for video capture.

[@FuaConsternation]

34:00 wait a minute...shooting a ship in high sec and having sec status penalty wouldn't be enough to use a tag for each kill though, amirite? if you did that wouldn't you be wasting isk on something, so just wait till you reach a certain negative status before tagging up?

[@hitopsful]

Look at his zkills, sometimes he'll get like 25 large skill injectors in a day haha not bad money man a few tags is shit cpared

[@FuaConsternation]

@@hitopsful sounds like RMT money laundering

Could I someday join you on a ganking trip?

[@jernejicom]

Sad thing to here a ganker crying about geting ganked Nice video

[@sumerbc7409]

I was console gaming everyday on Jan 1st 1980. They were nowhere near looking as good as eve on low settings.. maybe 88-89 maybe

[@BigDaddyLongLegs1981]

Subscribed the moment I saw you posted this on 420

[@sbssmachine1]

Probably lose your shit when you see the number 69 as well yea?

[@franciscomilos3049]

Can I do that without alts?

[@tonyth9240]

Not really, if you wanna loot, and not just get shiny killmails. Ganking isn't easy, and especially not easy to get started. Having several omega accounts is required for almost all forms of ganking, and for 100% of the forms of ganking you wanna make a profit from.

[@nathanjoseph7048]

What are you using T2 guns for if you're not using T2 ammo?

[@brianwilson9501]

have not played this game in a long time, i swear i remeber beingsafe in high sec, if attacked security would insta kill attackers and there'd be no insurance payout for it (something like that)

[@gauloiseguy]

In Eve there are no safe places. Only less dangerous places 😃

[@bushkittyoneshot940]

[@gerbilkill]

I wish there was a group that just hunted gankers. And gave people back what they could retrieve. Make a chat room urgent help. And all u good hearted people warp in like concord

[@aesh78]

Someone ‘s not built for EVE :P

[@gerbilkill]

@@aesh78 I ain't gunna lie. That cuts deep.

[@bikeguy3034]

Just put all your expensive modules in a small audit container with locked items via password. Then even if you do get ganked you still lose loot, but they don't get anything - lol.

[@MacGybo]

You can still get the items out. It's happened many times. :)

[@bikeguy3034]

@@MacGybo Yes if people haven't configured it correctly.

[@isaactjones]

Are you hiding your face on purpose? I'm getting this old American western highway robber vibe off you.

[@saschaschmitt592]

Swatting is a thing now :P

[@tonyth9240]

Besides how boring, eventless, tedious, and sometimes frustrating (loot thieves, loot killers, ppl who try to kill your loot truck etc.), my biggest problem when doing this would be to resist the urge to kill everyone. There are so many people autopiloting, and to know I could kill every single one of them with just 1 shot, 1 click, and resisting that urge... That would annoy me. That's why I use 2mil isk thrashers with a bit of tank, to hunt autopiloting shuttles, corvettes and pods regardless of their cargo :)

[@williamthompson4171]

Auto-pilot, shooting wrecks, kill rights, and so on are not odd or people lacking displine......it's people playing another game......it's a sandbox

[@blackdragondragonis6140]

Bro I see you in game I am the black dragon dragon is toon and u do yanking

this was an interesting watch , have more respect and understand the art . its keep stupid at bay and those too silly ofr their own good bahahahaha

[@jdt8601]

What am i watching lol im new to eve and heard a lot about ganking, but people actually sit there for hours doing this for what 200mil isk 😂 thats like £1 😂. Ive been killed in low sec that was fun but if i was travelling in high sec with billions in cargo and somone killed me id just quit the game

[@yougetonthathorseyougottar6126]

Nerds

[@justinjones3326]

Idk if this is ganking this is kinda game design... imo ganking is going to the starting area for each race and killing newbros... hijacking cargo is like uhh "what u think all the guns are for?"

[@MacGybo]

It's definitely ganking.

[@isoSw1fty]

No this is more like armed robbery lol

[@cmdrspongedoc9510]

Thanks for the video. Being a ganker is exactly like I imagined. Sitting there with multi accounts, clicking buttons, and basically spending your time to wait for the big fish. You know you could make more ISK in 50 mins if you play the game as intended, not stealing from others. But if you enjoy being brain dead instead of playing the game up to you mate :) But thanks the hint, I'll start shooting wrecks, just for fun :)

[@zoranbeader6441]

Nobody likes them but you gotta admit they add flavour to the game.

[@EricT43]

Don't underestimate how much ISK the gankers make. If you get a single 3B gank after 10 hours of sitting there, you've still made more ISK/hr than you can make doing a majority of other activities in the game.

[@TB_m3x1c4n]

You're entire comment became invalid and just showed that you're mad that gankers exist when you said "playing the game as intended".

[@redeyed3105]

@@zoranbeader6441 in what way would be more exciting and flavour full to grab and hold the ship tell them to give you isk or die then guess what you been pirate this gameplay they do for me is just mind numbing and pointless but each to there own if you can't play the I can see why you do what you do

[@tinbum45]

Lmfao calling out people who kill gankers sad while ganking…..🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

[@MacGybo]

Absolutely. And why not? In the same way that I'm sure that I annoy the people that I kill, thieves and anti-gankers annoy me. Is it wrong to point that out?

[@tinbum45]

@@MacGybo yeah, the same as it is for them to call how you enjoy the game sad.

Yeah in a team cause somebody has to pick up the loot. Or out in low sec by yourself.
