Player Features and Ideas Discussion

As we all know by now we see Freighters and jump freighters in Highsec,lowsec,nullsec,Wh space always getting blasted to nothing,

the idea behind, moveing a whole world and then some is a cool idea, But what about cost vrs security ??

T1 Freighter hull 1.5 bill. *before mineral prices went thro roof 800 mill.
JF about 6.5 bill ish and up, havent checked their prices recently but seen them in that area.

Freighters juicy targets for suicide gankers, Same with JF, in the odd situations.

Push them off a gate with mach's *offgrid* then kill it.

So why no mid,or low slots CCP adding them would bring much less problems for the players that complain about looseing them.
Your still going to prolly loose it if suicide ganked, but why not make it harder for the person trying to gank it ?

I myself havent lost a Freighter or a JF, So not sure what it feels like.

So Question is will CCP help the Freighter,Jump Freighter's out by allowing them Low Slots, Mid slots.
In most movies you see freighters can even use defensive systems *guns,drones,tank etc,

It would look alot cooler if you seen killmails where a bunch of pilots tried suicide ganking a freighter but instead got owned by it. That would be better then kiling a Drake with a badger II. :D

Not sure about giving the freighter actual slots; but i would like to see a ship hangar so i can move my rigged / fitted / assembled ships around in my freighter.

Why ask why, others do what they do. when they clearly want to do it another way, just to make you ask why this why that ?

You would be so much safer in your freigther if it had guns..

Oh look an NPC corp character complaining about PVP again.

Suicide ganking in general i way higher than it used to be but that's a part of EVE now.

Freighters are defenceless yes, but just because it fits 700k m3+ doesn't mean you need to lead all that space with items worth billions.
If you're using it to move valuable loot keep it down to 2mil or under, avoid common gank systems. If you need to move billions of ISK worth of stuff take the time to do more than one trip and save your freighter and ISK or use blockade runners for the small stuff.

My alt uses a Charon and the only time she has ever used the entire space was while moving stront and POS fuel from a friend, the total value was less than 500mil.

Also, I would like to question the validity of this statement. Why post about this if you lost nothing?

TL;DR: Freighters are fine. JFs could use some love.

You could not fight off a gank squad even if you had fit weapons onto it.

The eHP of freighters seems fine, because not only did freighters become more expensive, but all the ships including those used in ganks have and so nothing really has changed here.

The cost of Jump Freighters - or their eHP - might need to be looked at. JFs can move large distances in a single jump making it pretty save to move stuff with them, but not within high-sec. One could gank JF pilots simply to cause them a loss in which case the ratio of "cost of gank squad" versus "cost of JF" seems unnecessarily high in comparison to other ships.

Instead catering to stupid, as many people ask CCP, like yourself.

Why not grow a brain?

Move 10bil worth of crap for corp for "X" reason. Bring 6 Basi's, 6 BB, and scout.

Oh look, you can jam out the gankers within 2secs instead of the 8secs it takes Concord.

Nope, too complicated...

CCP, can we has fix for stupid?

Freight Club or wtf they are called, have excellent advice on how not to move your goods
