Suicide ganking: Difference between revisions

Line 74:

All systems are assigned a security ranking, from -1.0 to +1.0, visible in the top left of your overview, next to the system name for the system you are in. High Security systems range from 0.5 to 1.0. The higher ranked a system is, the faster Concord will respond to criminal acts, and therefore the less time a ganker has to destroy his target before Concord appears and takes him out

~~Response times are variable~~ by ~~a few~~ seconds due to server ticks~~, but approximate times as follows:~~

CCP has never confirmed "official" response timers however by observation, most of the community has accepted the below as "average" values. These numbers can vary by 1-2 seconds due to server ticks.

A few caveats:

* This assumes that the criminal act is the first recent act in the system, and therefore that Concord are a “fresh” spawn. If they have already spawned and are on-grid elsewhere, their reaction time will be slower (around 5-6 seconds additional time ~~for 0.5 space~~)

* This assumes that the criminal act is the first recent act in the system, and therefore that Concord are a “fresh” spawn. If they have already spawned and are on-grid elsewhere, their reaction time will be slower (around 5-6 seconds additional time) - smart gankers can exploit this as explained in the tactics section below

* This is only the time to arrive. Once on-grid, they will lock the target (around 2 seconds) then aggress the criminal for up to 15 seconds with high damage weapons, and capacitor neuts, before they one-shot the ship if it is still alive. While most gank ships cannot tank Concord damage (or the capacitor neuts) for more than a few seconds, it is important to note that additional time is required after Concord arrives for them to actually destroy the criminal ships
