Hisec Suspect Hunting: Difference between revisions

Line 36:

*'''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.

Generally these targets fall into several different categories which all need to be considered differently.

'''Suicide Gankers''' - these guys are generally sitting in space on a gate waiting for a target to pass by, this target is generally something soft like a lightly tanked hauler or other lightly tanked ship. Targets can be bigger and heavier, in which case the Suicide Gankers will bring more ships to the party. Gankers with sec status above -5.0 will often just sit in space on a gate waiting for targets, those with sec status less than -5.0 will sit at a tactical off-grid from the gate or will sit in station until just before the target arrives. 99% of Gankers have a number of alts that provide intel on what is coming through the gates and who also fly haulers to retrieve the cargo of the ship they have killed. Learning who these alts are in your area will help immensely in spotting the signs of an impending gank.

'''Fun Gankers''' - these guys are similar to suicide gankers but often fly about just looking to blow people up and ruin their day. They're usually perma flashy and can often be seen bouncing from gate to gate in some systems just waiting to spot somebody to attack, they might have an alt to pick up the loot but often just do it for fun.

'''Ninja Looters''' - these guys have grabbed the loot from a yellow wreck. Often this is after a suicide gank when the target's wreck has been left in space but could also be from looting wrecks left from duels outside a station or looting rat wrecks left in asteroid belts, some people scan down mission runners in sites and loot theoir wrecks as well.
