Most Ridiculous Ganks


Recommended Posts

I've got a few:

This one was on the old PvP2/Global server. I was escorting one of our first rates from La Mona to Aves to position for a PB. An Endy kept shadowing us, but he didn't see our first rate (he was too scared to approach the scary pirate Endy [me]). I took advantage of this and slowly changed course over the next few minutes so that I was going further south. Eventually I dropped sails in the hopes he'd fight me, only to discover he had friends just behind him. I ended up leading them on a chase all the way to Coquibacoa. I escaped from battle at least 3 times. Eventually they figured out how to setup a net and got me. RIP Endymion.

I replaced that Endymion with this one, which served me faithfully from June 2017 until the server merge to PvP Caribbean: (shoutout to Aster who was the only US skipper I ever feared could catch me):

Ganking is the name of the game, and I've found myself on both sides of it more times than I can remember. These just stood out to me as some of the most memorable.

Ending the ganking is easy. Gentlemen DEVS. do not allow anyone to profit and enter a single-player combat against AI. That they wait for him outside the combat at the end of it. Most ganking occurs in this way. In the first minutes of a PVP fight, which can only enter the BR similar to that of the player attacked, nothing to enter the whole world in the first 2 minutes.

I MEAN... we just tag with a light ship. hold in battle until 20 heavys and 5 lights are surrounding the battle then have the light ship cut the tagged ship loose and then BOOM. 25V1. we win. every time.

ROE is pretty forgiving now for getting ganked. I'm a big fan of the changes to ROE.

I simply provide a solution if you want to end the ganking. But it does not mean that it is against. I have done ganking and they have done me ganking. I dont complain. Occupational hazards.
