Then what was your point? How I understood that was more or less "if player can kill by an engineered NPC so he can easily PVP". Sorry that I misunderstood.

I have no idea where you got that from.

My point is that instead of avoiding adversity - whether it's in the form of an NPC bounty hunter coming to claim your 200 credit fine for smacking your ship into an NPC outside a station, or encountering a wing of gankers in Deciat - doesn't help you with either situation. It doesn't help you become a better pilot.

Then again, based on past experiences with people like this, they're not overly worried about being better at anything except the credit-per-hour grind.

Buy a Courier, engineer it, never worry about gankers again.

Yeah, if you know how to fly it.

This guy didn't know how to fly his.

Unfortunately for him, my aim was better than his flying.

That was some joke, there is no way FDL catch up a properly build courier with frags.

And for the record: gimbled frags do not require much of an aim

Watch the video closely. He turns in perpendicular to me and I'm able to catch up just enough to slap him.

Speed isn't everything if your situational awareness is utter shit, which in this case it was for him.

Damn, if only that guy changed his engine trails.

At the beginning of the video his shields are already down. Apparently he made a whole series of mistakes before you even got close to him.

No doubt in that. I have no idea what were the other 3 ships in the wing but the victim didn't know what he is doing, that is clear.

Are both Kumo CGs really still at Tier 0 or has that joker who manually added "Käse" to the rewards a few days ago also altered the goals?

BH CGs are usually flat tiers each at 20%. Both will reach tier 1 but that's a boring, filler CG. With so many people on vacation or ditching the game altogether because of ED: O, the activity in this CG actually exceed my expectations.

He made the mistake of thinking a speedy Courier had to be shieldless.

Didn't look shieldless - it looked like they were recharging. Poor kid slapped by 1 of 4 FDLs, when he probably could have highwaked 60 seconds earlier.

I am not sure if that were 4 FDLs but if so this is even more absurd. It is an error of judgment and there is a potential for poorly built courier. The speed difference of proper courier and FDL is 200-300 m/s => 30 or 20 sec for making 6km distance - given that this is a small ship and a heat sink would render it invisible for active targeting - it is obvious error of awerenes.
