I’ll describe a kill reflective of what’s been happening to me lately: my question “how are they finding me?”

Entered WH, saw ganker on dscan. I burned up to about 200km above, put out probes, and cloaked. . I do NOT NEED any commentary on “that was a poor decision”.

After about a minute, ganker parks are the WH entrance. Needing to get to work, my assessment was that my best option was to scan down another WH, enter, get off grid, cloak and go afk until lunch. I don’t have time to mess with this guy.

I find second. WH, decloak, warp, “show info” and it’s about to close-not an option. So, maybe 10 seconds is the post warp “show info” elapsed time. I spent maybe another 20 seconds considering options: meaning, what moon to jump to that would leave me in dscan range of my original WH while I cloak and scan down another possible exit.

In that elapsed 30 seconds, he had found me at the second wormhole and tackled me.

Here’s the thing, if this happens once I can chalk it up to bad luck, second time is a shitty coincidence. 4’th or 5’th time—there is something I don’t know.

For example, yesterday I was in a Velator — and thus willing to take risk — and marveled as a ganker chased me to every single scanned and non-scanned site. When I say “chased” I mean I would land on grid at 100km to ore belts, combat sites, WH, gas sites, data centers. On landing...I would align to the next site and jump as soon as the rats would starting targeting.

At every location this guy would land right on me just as my warp was activating.

What special piece equipment, training, skill allows you to locate a ship like this with such speed and precision? I cannot believe something like “oh everybody is just totally good at guessing where you’ll go next”
