How to grief a GANKER (and griefers)?! [ Elite Dangerous]

[@noobtube7344]

*Setup:* Wing of speedy ships. Wake scanner. (optional) FSD interdictor. Shinrarta, Deciat, etc... *What to do:* Interdict prismo gank ferdies and GTFO. Do this for hours. If you die, rebuy and continue. If they high wake, continue to troll them with wake scanner. If they try and go to station, have a friend ready with suicide winder, mail slot plug, etc... Trolling is a art. Autistically dedicate to pissing off just one griefer.

Art is one step off from science. And griefer griefing is high art or science depending on ones out look on life.

There's one passive way of annoying aggressive players in highly populated systems. Pick a ship that looks menacing/innocent and triggers pvp guys and gankers, then fly as close to the star as possible without melting your face off. Turn around so that your rear points directly at the star and watch how people try to catch you and ram the star or fly past you without a chance of interdicting. I use it to safely afk in systems that are full of players.

Pro tip: Low wake your escape from the ganker. As soon as you enter supercruise, kill throttle and de-activate your FSD. You'll drop out with a bit of damage, but won't have generated a low wake signal. Therefore you can no longer be pursued.

Pro tip: bury your reverb cascade torpedos amongst salvos of packhounds and hatch-breakers. They'll never see them coming, plus their point defense will be super busy. Even better: do this whilst also popping a heatsink, deploying a SLF and jettisoning cargo. Then hit'em with a dazzle shell frag cannon. Their radar is gonna be super confused.

[@a.p.2356]

I've got a ridiculously fast I-Eagle with an FSD interdictor. When teams of gankers start camping Jameson Memorial or a CG, I like to interdict them, run away before they can hit me, jump out, and just do that over and over again. If they actually try to shoot you, they lose because you can invariably outrun them. If they try to ignore you, they lose because they won't be able to gank unsuspecting players while they're dealing with you. If then DO manage to kill you, they lose because your rebuy is like 15 spacebux, and you can just hop in another one and start harassing them all over again. It's particularly infuriating for them if you wait until they're lining up on a player who just jumped in, and you can snag them right before they hit the interdictor.

[@khmnc]

how i deal with gankers is quite simple, i almost completely ignore them. you see while i do almost exclusively fly in open, i also main the cutter with ungodly amounts of shields. i've literally had greifers run out of ammo and have to retreat before. there was also this one hilarious time when i was auto docking and this guy kept ramming into me, he didn't have enough mass to really affect my trajectory and eventually exploded, becoming a smear on my unimpressed shields.

Yesssss! Remember "Mythic Quest Raven's Banquet" S01 E03?`They dealt with Nazis by identifying them and crowd them on a separate server so they had to deal with each other. Be smart and don't invest too much time overthinking about griefers, just block them. The more people do this, the cleaner will be space and they have to deal with each other, NEVER seeing another "normal" player again. In my world that is ultimate punishment for such kind of characters. And it just takes a couple of seconds to do. And the best thing is, they won't get the attention they crave (that's why they are doing this) and will be separate from so many people if only 10% of you would do this (because of the instant-system ED has).

I honestly don't see why there's so much hate for docking computers. They're useful tools. Not everyone actually enjoys the process of docking, or some of us just find it that much more meaningful to hit the autodock and wander off to snag a coffee, refill the water bottle, or grab a snack... I'd bet those same people are all "OMG, supercruise assist is"... Nah, it isn't bad. It's handy, especially for explorers (see previous comment about grabbing a snack). Won't stop the game from flying you into a sun or planetary rings though, so it's kind of like a Tesla Autopilot in that regard :P

[@RGMS_]

Everytime i go to shinrarta dezhra i use my Viper with PVP modules named "Not a bait ship :)", the modules are not even engineered but i never got pulled out of SC using it, i see a lot of Fer De Lance's following and probably scanning me but none have the guts to interdict, those guys are jokes

[@Jazod]

gankers don't usually go after npc's

Yeah but they know how see if someone is an NPC or player, they are looking for easy kills and someone flying around with a Viper with PVP modules must know what they are doing, so these guys avoid it because they are afraid of losing to a small ship

Viper's are hard to lose to in prismatic fdl's, unless the person you're fighting is new. Not to mention it's difficult to die in PvE.

About docking computers: You can stil have a lot of fun with the docking computer on. Just move your throttle to take control. It helps me remember to put the landing gear down (which is _another_ keypress that has to be timed on a fast approach) and the computer does a perfect landing if I gauge my speed right, much better than I can even after hundreds of landings in a burning station. And occasionally is messes up hilariously, especially when you push it to the limits.

pvp, pirating and so on is all good as long as there are some rp and fun to it...but where there are people there are idiots, elite d is no different. But gankers only going for soft targets as lower ranked pilots in ships with no defense to it, is just pathetic and can only be cause they are not good enough to take on a fight with someone who knows how to defend and do combat. I will say though in shinrarta i had a fun experience, a pilot was ganking me and pulling me out of supercruise 3 times, apparently cause he claimed i did not say hi to him (bu hu), i did say i was not into doing combat with him, yet he continued and eventually did shoot me down. The fun part is the chat was in system chat, so others in the system chased him down and killed him several times. He got so pissed that he bailed out lmao...

Drop out of supercruise just before they line you up to interdict you. You vanish from their scanner. If they find you jump to another system. Let them chase you to your fleet carrier, as soon as they attempt to shoot you your carrier wipes them out. Give them a civilised message saying "That was fun, cheers. See you around." right after they blow you up having not done anything to make it difficult for them.

Don't understand the probs u guys have with docking computer. I know its one of the ways u guys try and fit in with the "pro's" by saying u hate others using it, but it's a tool like anything else in the game. Sure you wont fit one on a combat or exploration build but otherwise why not? I remember the sheer joy of first FINALLY getting the DC on the original elite in the 80s (was expensive to buy and hard to find then) and being amazed. Sure AI is old news these days but being a SPACE ship SIMULATOR I think it has a place as its set in the future and flyby wire or docking computer is bound to be a thing. Plus love the 2001: a space odyssey reference. The feeling of sheer luxury as u sit back and answer messages or check inara etc, while ure ship flies itself. Now SUPERCRUISE ASSIST is different, handy for a quick afk but otherwise it's soooo slowwww, makes u a sitting duck. I go everywhere full speed SC until I hit about 200-300ls away from target (depending on how fast I'm acctually travelling) then hit the Throttle to 75% key (using voice attack in my case) which is fastest u can possibly fly towards destination without overshooting, then I (if needed) arch my trajectory out and in towards the station (if its orbiting a planet or moon) so that I'm coming in towards the station and the large mass of the planet is direcrly behind it, that way u minimise the effects of the gravity slowdown effect and come in FAST but without overshooting. It often foils pve pirates but I digress. I tell new players who join the squadron to fit a DC if they can spare the slot but to fly SC as I've described.

Build a t9 tank. No really. G5 prismatics, g5 boosters, SCB's, G5 dirties, all cargo turned over to HRs and MRs, armoured plant and FSD, etc etc. Call ship "Cargo runner" or something innocent. 4 pips to system. Jump into Shinrata. Submit, tank, low wake, SCB, submit, tank, low wake, SCB, repeat. Fly in straight line for bonus points. Repair if they have cascades (armoured plants will be fine if you have MR's). Alternate low wake for high wake for cutter wings.

Pythons masslock type 9's and you won't tank through pythons a lot of the time plus feedback cascade

[@silverburn55]

Jazod Can and do. Only really have to worry about cutter / FDL wings (mainly for the plasmas). 1:1 - with a g5 armored plant and shielded fsd, you can tank damage while you repair. And when your shield comes back up, you’ve got 1000mj again.

I have the ultimate anti-ganking method: I just stopped playing the game

[@LordRenegrade]

Uh, they made you quit? No solo or private group?

[@wildmonkeycar]

@@LordRenegrade I was already on shaky ground with the game as a whole, burnt out from months of constant play. I used to be a PVP player, and had a ton of fun, but the toxic community kinda drove me away. The last straw was when I tried to get some friends into the game, and we lost hours worth of work when some douchebag ganked my buddy in his unengineered Diamondback Explorer on his way to Felicity Farseer. I can't remember if he had the Meta Alloy or not, but I do remember I had just flown to Maia and back for him, to help him out, just for some bored jerk to ruin our day

[@LordRenegrade]

@@wildmonkeycar - private grouping with him would have prevented that... I generally don't do multiplayer unless it's either co-op, OR it's PvP where I can do real life PvP to anybody who decides to be a massive dick*. I used to have an exception for 'pure PvP' games (rando internet PvP / PvE hybrid is a bad design idea, pure PvP less so), but these days I hesitate due to the toxicity. * - The very threat of a 'friendly' punch to the nose seems to inhibit people's douchey sides somehow. I don't know what it is that does that though....

[@wildmonkeycar]

@@LordRenegrade Maybe it would've. But either way, without even getting into what happened when I was really into the game, the community and the game's terrible design/designers are what pushed me away

Keep in mind I only play solo, but, what if a player scans you to see what you have. You have strong indications that they are a pirate and want to snatch your cargo. What if you turn on silent running as if to avoid their scan which basically encourages them to attack you, then they do. You let them destroy you (obviously be in a cheap ship for this), only to reveal that you had nothing. Maybe a few limpets or something worthless? Idk, I'd get pretty irritated if I had a notoriety for nothing.

The only reasons I see to go into Open Play is to PvP in groups and to help somebody refuel. I feel like Open Play is a waste of insurance money if you are not even geared to PvP, exactly like EVE Online where poor miners get attacked every day by bored gankers, deleting $20 of internet ship.

[@CorundumDevil]

This is why I appreciate the Anaconda's flexibility as an all-purpose, high-security freighter and battle cruiser. If I'm not confident I can handle the fight, it's tough enough to hold together before jumping out, it's near impossible to interdict, and it's shielded to hell and back. Gankers have to try _extremely_ hard to bother me.

So, which of these methods doesn't require engineering? :)

[@neilpalmer1192]

Double tapping J to emergency drop out of supercruise before they interdict OR as soon as they start the interdict press pause to game menu and after 15 secs you quit (they can't drop u out and kill u in time) or if ure in a fast ship when they pull u out just put 4 pips in engines and non stop boost before they get a bead on you, supercruise outta there, (then quickly block them in chat menu if u want) and then go to right hand ship menu and turn off your fsd in modules. You'll drop back out into normal space but therell be no way that they can find you! Lol. Then. U can clmly turn fsd back on and jump to another system.

[@CDP1861]

I have only been playing for a few weeks now, so yes, I'm a noob. I have no idea why, but my little Asp Explorer usually 'wins' the interdiction. That's why I called it 'Roadrunner'. No coyote can catch it. Beep beep!

It may take multiple torpdso hits, depending on the shields. I think 3 hits bring down any shield.

Theres an arming time of about a second after launch where it won't do anything if you hit before that, so shotgunning with the torps won't work.

Still haven't played Elite: Dangerous. I finally bought it, but haven't had time to try it yet. Back in the late 80s I played Elite, you know, the precursor to E:D. I always had a docking computer. There almost wasn't a day I'd piss off an entire fleet for some reason (whistling innocently) that was way beyond my ability to take out. I'd go full speed to the station and at the last second slap the autodock. Instantly safe inside station. I know it doesn't work that way now, but I'm sure I'll find other ways to cheese the systems. ;)
