If you don't tank in highsec, you are wrong!

Posted on 18:00 by Unknown
I often get the comment that tanking your mining (hauling, missioning) ship isn’t the only option. They claim there are two other options:
  • good piloting: aligning out, watching Dscan and local, marking known gankers and so on
  • replacement: simply earn enough income to be able to write down gank losses as operational costs
They are wrong. Not because their options couldn’t result higher income/hour than tanking. They are wrong because tanking is the only option that benefits from the existence of Concord. Concord responds to aggression and destroys the attackers. You need to be tanked enough to live until this happens. If you choose not to be tanked, you forfeit the assistance of Concord.

However if you do so, why are you in highsec? The ore, the mission rewards, the drops and the bounties are the worst in highsec. You can get more of all of these in lowsec, nullsec or WH space. How do you protect yourself from being destroyed in these Concord-less zones? By good piloting or replacement!

If you believe in good piloting or accepting and replacing your losses, you are wrong to be in highsec! Leave it and get much better results without doing anything differently! The only valid reason to be in highsec is enjoying Concord protection! However to do so, you must be tanked.

So anyone who did not tank his ship in highsec is wrong. Tomorrow we explore this from another angle.



Speaking of Concord, a moron of the weekend contender met them. He was baiting aggression by being suspect on the ice belt. Which was a mess itself with various parties ganking. Probably he also lost counting who he can shoot and who he can't. This is why you shouldn't set your safety red, unless you explicitly go for suicide ganking. Who got the ice then? The Skiffs and Procurers of course:

The weekend was nice and provided several morons, it was hard to pick. The above GCC 1.5B Tengu was a strong contender, but what Inquisitor Reyalstob found is unbeatable: a covops frig. Decloaked. AFK. On the Sun. With this pod.

The anti-tear of today:
