Realistically, the vast majority of us would have Haulers, and we would never be able to afford transporting tons of gold. If you had a Hauler in 3307, what system would you call home, and what would you specialize in?

How to frustrate a ganker

Posted: 19 Nov 2021 09:52 AM PST

So last night I wanted to have fun with a ganker that was roaming near Jameson memorial and I thought that if he chases me, then other players will be safe for a while. So I headed to Shinrarta with my PvP FdL and as soon as I jumped in the system he was there waiting.

Immediately he tried to get to my back….but I played around for quite a while…without letting him interdict me. After a good 10 minutes of chasing, I decided to let him interdict me and engage in a short fight.

He had a hull tank chieftain with fixed multi cannons.

I tried to fight a bit with him, but recognising he was quite good and probably better than me, I decided to give up the fight but not until my shields reached 5%.

So I let him chase me around, although I made it very difficult for him to hit me.

Then I decided to go in super cruise instead of escaping completely and I could see he was starting to get frustrated that he couldn't kill me.

So he decided to follow me again and tried to interdict me again. And again I kept him entertained for a while…but then

When I got bored I escaped to another system….wasting completely his time.Priceless 😂

Suggestion: Have paid crew accompany you on foot missions

A lot of people don't hire NPC crew because they tax your money till the end of time whether you use them or not. What better way to use them than to have them back you up on foot?

I was clearing out scavengers and thinking to myself "Who would run into an empty settlement by themselves against 10 hostile enemies that could easily swarm you?" Having just one person to take some of the heat off you not only would make sense, it would just be fun to have a buddy keeping you company.

And best of all, we would feel a lot less like we're throwing our hard earned money out the door for an unused crew member. We're just supporting a buddy!
