Suicide Ganks, Give us equal countermeasures CCP!

EVE is a sandbox that supports many, many different playstyles, and it usually hapens that a groups of users with a particular playstyle fancy themselves as somehow superior to the other players.

Some people will argue and give varoius countermeasure/excuses. But the fact of the matter is that to counter suicide tactics, you have to play their game, or not play at all.

CCP have done much to improve one aspect of the game while letting the other slide, and in the universal arms race of bigger and better ships and weapons Concord, and other measures to protect these other playstyles have been largely ignored.


I believe that if suicide ganking is to be made fair that CCP should also extend the means of industrial players to effect thier attackers, without forcing them to adopt the same playstyle as the attacker.

We already know that pvp players have the option of suicide ganking as a means to attack miners, and ohter industrialists. But industrialists should have their own tools to combat these tactics in thier own way.

I believe that CCP should introduce a system where miners and other industrialists can pick and choose who they buy from and who they sell to.

This set of pvp tools for industrialists should allow them to specify, by means of standings. Who can buy thier items, or who they will sell thier products too.


This will make it so campaigns such as the on that goonswarm has running could have negative repercussions from thier actions, without forcing industrialists to adopt pvp playstyles. And will make it so that attacking industrialists could have added long-term consequences, as or more severe than the options pvp pilots have to attack industrialists.
