don't get it. you want suspect timers for cloaked scanning alts?

see, what a stupid reply.

it doesnt matter WHERE you get scanned. it matters that they DO scan you. once they do, no matter WHERE you are, you run the risk of being shot.

auto targeter, hot guns, when u go flashy, you pop. pretty soon, itll cost you 50-100 mill a day to run this operation. just think of how many ship you guys scan.. pop, pop, pop, pop

and im not a hauler. im not a pve guy. im not a pvper. im a person who does a little of all. when i fly somewhere, i expect to be able to defend myself. thats it.

i myself, will park my combat guys (i have multiple toons) in high traveled areas where they are camps and gank the gankers. i will make it my mission to cost you guys. because i can.
everytime you scan someone, pop.
its automatic. cant be avoided.

go get another ship. i will spend a couple weeks in high sec just for fun. rack up a noob ship kill log from hell. oh, btw...go get another ship.

I will give you a simple restatement of what I posted earlier.

You won't stop random ganks with this. All you do is remove those who *DO* think, plan and use tactics for piracy.

That is not improving the game at all - it is quite literally "dumbing down" an activity that currently shows that someone is thinking and planning for what they do.

Do you really want those types removed from that kind of activity so only the half-wit drooling monkeys are left doing this?

IMO -- If you're going to lose a ship to someone, better it be to someone who actually thought about what they were doing and *PICKED* you as a target vs just a random drive-by shooting or moron gate-camper popping targets for lulz.

Saying Blockade runners have little cargo is hardly mentioning something in-depth.

They made ships with special roles for a reason.
In a Blockade Runner, noone will be able to scan you.

Even in a T1 Hauler with a Cloak noone will be able to scan you if you aren't stupid.
So how is getting scanned a problem? This thread is almost as pathetic as the make highsec safer thread.

But I still like the idea on the limited engagement for scanning. I'd love to be able to shoot freighters anywhere at anytime.

no matter where u are u run the risk of getting shot by undocking...

Yes, we all know that EVE is a dangerous\harsh\unforgiving blah blah blah place ( abit like the Forums sometimes ha ha) and the only safe place is in dock. We aren't asking for a comforter or a blanky...just battering around some ideas to bring something new\different to the table.

Sorry, wasn't having a go just I've heard these lines so many times...

Maximus Aerelius, fit a MWD, fit a Cloak. Be immune to Cargo Scanners if you're smart enough to use insta undocks and similar smart things.

While I appreciate the above it doesn't address the issue merely the workaround. And I personally do all of the above along with fitting Inertia Stabs, Warp Core Stabs where required etc. ectc. etc. and GTFO PDQ ASAP of the gate...believe me I know not to AFK haul as well.

This isn't the issue. The issue is the "peeping toms" who have no consequences to "popping my trailer doors" to see if anything is worth stealing.

EDIT: Oh and the MWD blows your signature up +500% making it quicker to lock you down...if the gankers are fast they'll get you. If the person Cargo Scanning you is quick they'll get you scanned quicker and let the gankers know you're using a MWD\Cloak trick...easier to scan you, easier to gank you.

EDIT 2: Practical example:

Mastodon - T2 Deep Space Transport
Signature Radius150 m.
MWD Active: 900m (150 + 750 from MWD)

im afraid this statement isnt correct.

the root cause of gankings are pieces of crap who cant go earn a buck for themselves. they would rather sit somewhere where there is no risk for them and shoot defenseless things and take.

i rat, i build, i go in worm holes and do gas or mine, run sites, i do a wide variety of things to positively contribute.
i have given away tons of rigs from salvage to noobs who cant afford to buy stuff for their new ship.

this is MY play style. this is how *I* like to play. i am not saying everyone else has too, but *I* get the most enjoyment out of helping others.

gankers are afraid to go somewhere where they might be targeted and chased down. they sit in high secuntil they find something easy to steal. of course, with my 10 years of military, i find this and those who do it to be the lowest forms of life, but thats *THEIR* play style.

all i am asking for is the ability to hold accountable *ALL* people involved with the process.
if the scanner has to reship every 3 seconds and has to buy cargo scanners every 3 seconds, itll eventually break them. i would shoot the wreck so the scanner couldnt be reused. every scan....pop.

every
time.

you play your way, make it right so i can patrol and defend the weak against the lazy.

i agree. i am not saying you cant gank me. im saying its going to cost you so much, over time you will get off your lazy azzes and go do something useful.

and check this coward out who sent me an email in game. i dont think he used his main nor would he post it in here..

do freighters and haulers if they carry too much.

Its ok this way, gankers already loose their ships. No more safety for high sec, **** off stupid moron.
