Ganker Protocol

Yesterday was sunday, and it was a good one. I was running with Warp To Me for the whole day (from 8:30 in the morning until the spawn went down at 16:something) and during that time we had two instances of ganking! Fortunately not in our fleet — or unfortunately? Because, as it turns out, the gankers were incompetent little shits (check kills on November 7th) and didn’t manage to kill a single ship. Well done! Apparently they were going for the ships that were already under the attack of the Sansha and, yeah, I can see how one can think “hey, let’s add more to that damage” but those ships are also the ones that are already locked up by all logi ships, and usually each logi ship has ample repping power left for emergencies so a small number of not-even-polarized Catalysts really doesn’t pose any threat.

Anyway, our FC switched to “ganker protocol” which means that new pilots who wanted to join the fleet were told to stay docked and ask for “undock status” (as opposed to warping to FC and asking for gate status). If you already were with the fleet you were safe (because lots of logi around) but if you weren’t, get your ass into a station and stay there! So, yeah, quite exciting! How was your weekend? 😃
