The Art of The Gank - How to Gank in EVE Online - Astero Stratios Solo PVP EVE Online

EVE Online is a space MMORPG made by CCP Games. In EVE Online I enjoy participating in non-consensual solo PVP with other pilots. This video is meant to be a tutorial on how to gank people in EVE online so that you can experience the thrill of solo EVE PVP as well!

EVE Online is a game where there’s many career paths available to pilots. You can mine ores, manufacture ships and equipment, explore systems and wormholes for hidden and valuable loot, trade in stations with other pilots, scam people, be a pirate, and so much more.

My choice of career is exploring wormholes to fund my love for blowing up other people’s ships. There are times that I fly in fleets with my corporation to work as a group and bring down large PVP targets, but I find myself flying solo and doing solo PVP very often in my spare time.

Most of the time I am killing explorers and pilots doing planetary interaction in wormholes. These are relatively easy targets because their ships are fit defensively rather than offensively. Explorers and PI pilots would much rather get away from being killed than try to fight off the stratios, astero, or stealth bomber that just decloaked on top of them.

Interesting watch. I don't do pvp personally but I like to know my enemy x)

Just a poinder - 3 points of warpcore stabilization requires you to reduce it by 4. Only if you are -1 you cannot warp, so the bump did the trick

[BigTdeluxe]

3 points of scram vs 3 warp core stabs would've still let him warp off. Warp is only disrupted if the equation Warpcore stabs minus points of scram is smaller than zero. The Epithal would've probably gotten out if you didnt bump him. Nice Video btw covers much of the important stuff newbros aren't aware of.

Be sure to update your page telling any recruits that they get perks for using your recruiting link. Anyway, all I have to say is...finally a well rounded, simple, explanation of eve game dynamics. Outstanding.

at 12.45 in the video.. Decloak as u leave ur perch.. so the timer is mostly up by the time u reach ur target

[arcm]

If you wait for him to start moving again after landing on the poco you can get his pi stuff as loot depending on what he does that could be a nice kill

[kollegeknusprich]

Hey, nice video. One small correction at about 10:30
Three stabilizers would have mattered if you had not bumped him, since they do neutralize all three points of warp disruption / scrambling from your faction scram. That's why I use a dual scram setup (one TII, one faction) on my cloaky solo ganking boats: The Magnate and Epithal are prime ganking targets, and they both have four low slots.

My personal favorite ships for an ambush are the Dual Rep Legion or LASB Tengu. Both are brutal and pack enough punch to take down nearly anything.

I do wormholes in a fairly unprotected ships, I get ganked 1-in-5 times, it's part of the fun. This was really enjoyable, just seeing what it's like from the other side. I know that most gankers aren't nasty people, they just like the thrill of the hunt. When you go into WHS you buy into the risk volutarily and you take it on the chin if you get ganked, no one holds a gun to your head to make you go into a WH. I do it 'cos losing 15m but making 90m to cover it is worth the work. However I think I like the idea of this...hmmmm...maybe time for a little payback...

gank
verb (Online, MMORPG usage)
1. To kill another player using a group of players
2. To kill another player using any means that places the played to be killed at a substantial disadvantage.

Now everyone complaining that this isn't a gank shut the hell up. Holy shit.

[Pyrohawk]

Tip - webbing makes slow ships warp out faster, so unless youre expecting a turbo industrial, just scram.and bump it for better effect (web also dampens bumps)

“He goes back to high sec happy” ROFL that killed me lmfao

[meleris]

i finished my tutorial and i didnt understoon allmost everything u explained, but it was fun to watch :D

[mrhooke_gamer]

Good video, love the explanation for new players.

[RiotCls]

If you drop the analzer and add a cap booster, you can punch up.

I remember when i started ganking in wh. I mainly solo a Legion now. Killing explorers got boring. Now, if i find one, i sit 5k off him and pull security, haha 😅

I prioritize solo ratters now

[theohornsby]

What happens if you get into a harder engagement with no armor rep?

[DINYUS]

I do PI in a C1 with an Epithal fit like that last one and he'd have gotten away if he knew what he was doing. I have a perch on-grid with every POCO positioned in such a way that the POCO is in-line between the perch and my safe. This means that I'm pretty much already aligned to the safe when I come out of warp at the POCO.
Doing it this way I'm only at the POCO for about 7 seconds if I'm just picking things up or dropping off. It takes a little longer to do both but not much.

[eduard]

How do you stop someone from warping away ?

[kewh]

Now I had to go and buy the ship and fittings. Can’t quite justify blood scram yet. But it’s ready to go. Thanks for the vid!

Just a note about your description, that says "I enjoy participating in non-consensual solo PVP". Being in a wormhole is *definitely* consent.
