Hisec Suspect Hunting: Difference between revisions

Line 20:

What we're looking for is anybody in space who is one of the following;

* Criminally flagged - typically someone who has attacked another pilot in high security space i.e. a Suicide Ganker

* '''Criminally flagged''' - typically someone who has attacked another pilot in high security space i.e. a Suicide Ganker

* Suspect Flagged - Somebody who has been flagged for a suspect action like stealing from somebody else's wreck for example

* '''Suspect Flagged''' - Somebody who has been flagged for a suspect action like stealing from somebody else's wreck for example

* An outlaw - a Security status below -5.0, sometimes referred to as a 'PermaFlashy'

* '''An outlaw''' - a Security status below -5.0, sometimes referred to as a 'PermaFlashy'

* '''Pilots with available Kill rights''' - A pilot with a Kill right that we can activate to make them become Suspect flagged.

Note that the standard UNI overview setup will make these targets flash on the overview (either yellow, orange or red depending on type).

Any of these 'flashies'

'''Exception:''' See the section on overview changes for some suggestions on manging Kill rights and Limited Engagements.

Any of these 'flashies' can be engaged by any pilot without penalty but be aware that once you have engaged a target you will create a Limited Engagement with them which means that they will be able to shoot back without further penalty against you. The implication of this creation of the Limited Engagement and what it means for you, the attacker, depends on Target Type;

*'''Criminal Flagged''' - these pilots will be engaged by CONCORD. This will either be happening as you attack or will be happening imminently. The time it takes CONCORD to respond depends on a number of factors but is principally driven by the Security Status of the system. This is why so many suicide ganks take place in 0.5 Security space since CONCORD response time is at its lowest. What you can be sure of, though, is that the target's days are numbered and shortly after you engage, CONCORD will make sure their ship is destroyed. Having a Limited Engagement with a pilot whose ship will last maybe 20 seconds max is therefore not a high risk activity.

*'''Suspect Flagged''' - Suspects will not be engaged by CONCORD, therefore if you create a Limited Engagement with a Suspect then you will be effectively entering into a proper PVP engagement with the target. Other players can also attack the suspect so if the fight takes place on a gate or on a station then you are likely to get help from others but if the fight takes place at a belt or some other spot then the fight is effectively a 1v1 PVP engagement. You need to be prepared for this and know what you are getting into.

*'''Outlaws or PermaFlashies''' - Outlaws have a security status below -5.0. They will take Gate Gun fire '''<---- CHECK THIS''' if on a Gate or station, otherwise the fights are exactly the same as those detailed above for Suspect Flagged pilots.
