ha ha oh wow

[Viin]

That is some funny stuff. I'm poor or I'd take some off your hands. 

[Slayerik]

All the stuff that I have BPOs of the guy seems to have a good chunk of BPCs for them as well. If there are any you may need, just ask. I don't give a shit about BPCs...in fact, they mainly piss me off. lol

Since I can't log on right now, what are you asking for the Arazu BPC, the DC II BPC, the Ishar BPC and the Phobos BPCs?

Also, I'm interested in the Hammerhead I BPO and the Vexor BPO -- what are you asking for those BPOs? If you have a multi-run (5 or more) Vex, Helios, or Domi BPC let me know.

[Viin]

And, BAT would gladly take any annoying left-over BPCs you happen to want to clear out of the hangar.

I'll get ya more info soon, but I'm asking store prices for the BPOs (even though they are researched).

BPCs I'll get back at ya about.

[Amarr HM]

I just sold all those Cap part BPCs back to the guy I ganked for 200mil

I'll log on tonight to check the store prices -- I can probably afford both BPOs, but I'd prefer to see what the BPC's you've got are going to run me first. :)

[Slayerik]

Looking at 41 mil for the Vexor BPO and 1.6 mil for the Hammerhead. I'll just call it 42 mil for those.

Lets finish this up in PMs. o/

[ajax34i]

Heh, Slayerik, sounds like you need to hire a salesperson/accountant to spend the time to sell the stuff for you profitably, so you can in the meantime go back to acquiring more.

[Nerf]

He just lets it sit there, we still havn't bothered to try to sell that stack of 100+ faction items we posted a month or so ago.

I'm like a fuckin dragon.

I hoard shit, ok?

And I kill shit. And take their shit to hoard...like a fuckin dragon.

I'm losing my brain, I promised some shit to Phil here that I forgot about. My bad!

Seriously....who wants a job selling my shit? I'll pay well :)

Uh oh, apparently I should buy all the stuff off you cheap while I can before someone starts making me actually pay what it's worth for it!

[Endie]

Morat, I have a researched vexor bpo, and will make you a long-run bpc for free after I get back from holiday, if you can use it.

I like flying Vex's in PvP. I had planned on the BPO just to do something with the huge stash of minerals I have all over the place -- same for the Hammerheads. I probably wouldn't use it until I had a few more weeks of specific manufacturing skills, so no hurry.

I'm pretty sure the corp has one at Kheram anyways.

[apocrypha]

So I decided to try this suicide ganking stuff out, being bored with missions and stuff.

Fitted up a brutix with a bunch of blasters, some sensor boosters and a metric fuckton of damage mods. Got an alt into a cloaked hauler. Studied the map, chose a promising looking location, parked my arse and started scanning the AFK T1 haulers.

Got bored after 30 mins of waiting with no suitable target    Damn my short attention span!

Have I just chosen too quiet a gate? Was getting a constant stream of ships but in four seperate 30 min sessions I didn't find a single suitable target :(

[Gets]

You basically bought a lottery ticket for the first time in your life and are now wondering why you didn't win. Add some known big market to market or mission-hub to market systems into your autopilot as waypoints and see if there's a mid-sec system between them. Good place to try as any.

Yes, it takes more than ½ an hour to get a score, especially now that everyone with something valuable in their cargo is used to the fact that it's not safe to autopilot. These people who gank are at it for days and the money-tree has been picked dry of juicy ganks for a while now. There's still probably someone out there taking the risk of hauling 100mil+ in a fragile ship, but it takes a lot of sitting until that fish comes to you.

[Slayerik]

Exactly, suicide ganking is not instant money by any means. I believe it has the best potential for easy cash, but it has a few pitfalls as well. The first time you get your loot stolen after waiting 3 hours for a target, you'd prolly lose your damn mind :)

I got 200 million worth of rigs this way 

I enjoyed the fact that both ganker and gankee were crying into their cornflakes about this.

[Amarr HM]

I waited for five hours the last night I did it the longer it took the more intent I was on getting something good. Plus I had started getting real picky and wouldn't gank anything worth less than 150 mil the waiting paid off last 30 minutes I ganked about 450 mil worth of stuff. I reckon Gets is right though it seems the haulers aren't APing as much as when I first started I was able to gank something every hour or so but I'm also as I stated already being a bit more choosy, reason for this my sec status is getting a bit low.

Do note I did manage to gank 1.5 bil worth of stuff from one guy and Slay ganked about 3-4 bil from another fella recently so eventually you will get an uber gank if you stick at it.

For the record, I had been doing it for roughly 6-7 months prior to that motherload :)

[Amarr HM]

Hehe true only took me a week to get that kill so it's really pot luck.

[apocrypha]

OK cool, I was mostly interested to get some ideas of how long some of you experienced and successful suiciders put into it. I wasn't expecting an instant lottery win by any stretch and partly I wanted to see if I had the stamina and/or patience to stick it out for long... turns out I don't :p

I don't need the ISK and I'm not really playing EVE that much at the moment (waiting to see how FW turns out I guess) but I thought I'd try suicide ganking so that I had a better understanding of it - I try not to engage in discussions about something when I know nothing about it :)

Thanks for the replies, I'll give it another go sometime when I've got more time and feel like trying something different. One thing's for sure, after a few goes at it I now certainly have a greater respect and admiration for those of you who have the patience and determination to pull of the big scores :)

[Amarr HM]

It's very much like playing poker you wait around for a top hand and then hope all the right cards fall. Some players are loose agressive shoot anything worth 50 mil some are tight agressive wait for the big money and strike hard. Probably why I enjoy it 

[Slayerik]

Some are aggresive to the point of inventing new ways of playing the game for more profit ;)

[Amarr HM]

Yes some guys have an Ace up their sleeve ;)

I take a break and my guys get ze motherload battleship.

Estamels invuln alone is worth a ridiculous amount.

[Amarr HM]

  Holy crap that Nightmare is worth as much as a mom.Was he afk?

Too bad all the drops combined were apparently only worth -

Total Module Drop: 8,946,863.00

Thats not faction...thats fuckin DEADSPACE shit. The Gist X-Type Booster is about 2.5 bil. (X-type is top of the line, like Estamel...)

Estamel invuln....i cant remember what the last one i saw sold for but it was like over 7 bil. Thats 10 billion on 2 MODS!!! LOL

They really need to fix the estimations. :)

[Amarr HM]

I did a check on what I could find in contracts that ship was worth circa 30-40 bil about 20-30 dropped (A Mom costs 30 bil right?). The Estamel's inv. contracts about 10 bil some of that stuff is rare. So was he afk or what?
