How many freighters are killed by suicide gank fleets outside of +2j from uedama or niarja?
Few per month.
If someone is choosing to move a freighter by a known gank system it is his decision.

AG can be good, if they can get decent FCS, enough people willing to rep or alpha or whatever

But AG kicks everyone that has a clue about the game, so AG will stay bad

The tools to anti-gank are also there anyway. Beside the obvious options like webbing the freighter into warp, a freighter with resist amp fitted can use remote armor rep cruiser to "kite" the concord timer and survive for example. People are just not willing to cooperate to do this in an efficient way because "I'm not gonna be the next one to blow up" mean nobody take the risk seriously. Everybody expect someone else to be the poor chap to go boom so they will go freely across.

Information warfare boosted rooks can mess up with talos' targeting for example but people don't want to put the effort in for the very low chance that it will be needed.

:EFFORT:

There is no highsec capital interdiction mechanic - A "Mechanic" implies risk. Bumping is something gankers found to be risk free so use it and CCP lets them continue to use a half made mechanic because it suits them to do so.
If bumping were a legit mechanic, it would be ok but bumping in Eve makes absolutely no sense- If you bump into something that weights 10X more than you at speed, you should take damage but as Devs can't calculate that, a specific (read specific = available to a set group) flag to enable fleet members to attack something that has committed an aggressive act on a freighter in the fleet would mean bumping is no longer a risk free mechanic.

Why should those trying to protect a freighter from gankers have to become gankers to do so? The bumper is committing an act of aggression in highsec, there should be consequences for that

I really don't get how some people can play this game with such pure narrow mindedness.

As for starting a thread - At Pedros suggestion

Oh and Pedro; If you had actually read what I wrote you would see what you imply would be next to impossible to pull off. It would not break the all but ineffective "crime watch 2.0" as only a neutral party hitting a freighter would get flagged, sure an individual could push a ship into a freighter causing it to bump and be flagged but all that would happen is those in fleet with the freighter could legally kill it, Without Concord intervention.

Scenario;
I am in fleet with a freighter, I see you sitting 10K from the freighter as we jump. I bump you into the freighter, you get a timer to my fleet, leaving us free to engage you. No Concord needed - You were forced to get flagged (with a mechanic that has no repercussions) and you either win the "legal" if not slyly gained, engagement or you die.
Hmm interesting, baiting with freighters in highsec.. Anti gankers have a legitimate way to kill bumpers, Oh the horror of it all, the risk free mach bumper is no longer completely risk free)

PS; Nothing is impossible, the concept of - Flagged to a specific group = NO Concord intervention.
Suggestion, sit in a quiet place with a cup of coffee and read what my suggestion entailed, you'll see, while it is exploitable to an extent (although not as exploitable as risk free bumping in Machs), it does not involve Concord at all (it actually creates opportunity for PVP). You need someone to bump a Freighter to initiate a flagged response, that flag is only visible to those in the freighters fleet and the bumpers fleet. The guy who bumped you into the freighter can only freely engage (no concord) if they are in one of those fleets.

Thanks for demonstrating that you have no idea about that either.

You really are like a dog with a bone - you just can't let your terrible (and off-topic) idea go.

Of course it is a mechanic. CCP even said this directly: "CCP considers the act of bumping a normal game mechanic". Capital ships are intended to be slow and vulnerable, and thus can be bumped as has been the case since they were introduced. Just because you don't like it or can't understand it, does not mean it is not an accepted game mechanic.

Perhaps there should, but with highsec safety being turned up to 11 in the recent past, there is no room for random suspect flags for bumping ships. CrimeWatch 2.0 specifically prevents you from flagging yourself without turning your flag off green, and then committing a deliberate act. Making bumping give flags breaks this.

This is not a difficult concept to understand. You will need to propose another idea, one that doesn't involve giving bad guys a tool to flag targets, if you want highsec freighter tackling to have some mechanical consequences.

And I don't get how some people can be so fixated on an idea to address a perceived problem to their little corner of the game, that they miss the wide-ranging, and sometimes game-breaking, effects that idea would have on everyone else.

We get it - you don't like bump-tackling in highsec. Well, I am sorry to say additional, arbitrary flags for incidental or deliberate ship contact is not ever going to happen. CCP is more likely to just nerf/remove bumping by boosting a freighter's agility or adding an escape module than to implement your God-awful flagging idea. But I suspect they won't do that - freighters are still safe enough, probably too safe. They will instead implement a complete change in the interdiction mechanic in highsec, one that allows fights to start and escalate around (eventually) all capital ships in highsec.

To be fair to him, having nothing constructive to say never stops you posting.

but why? no seriously the purpose of this change is.......

people asking for more HP what so you can loot it for longer? Im sorry but this is only buffing freighter bankers, nothing more.
Super/Dreads/Titans get literally looted immediately, so does everything else.

The only reason why you want to delay this to get the larger haul 0 i.e. freighters and transports. The one shot wreck was a good way to stop those people getting the loot, OK one shot too much 150000 sounds OK, still allows them to get some loot, but tbh most people who get freighter ganked in highsec probably don't have a BS fleet with them. So your not helping those, but its another nullsec change.

So screw the highsec guys.

If this is just about freighter/transport ganking then say so don't hide behind it being a general change because it doesn't make much difference.

A lot of titans and supers dont get looted because someone on the other side pops the wreck. Also with the fleet warp changes having wrecks to warp to is going to be very important.
