Ships & Modules

What ship would be the best at freighter repair in the event of an attempted gank? Using hull reppers and a command mod?

I want to escort my alt freighter in the same corp with a webber and reppers.

Don't bother. If anyone is going to gank your freighter they will bring enough fire power to take it out before you would even get a repper cycle off.

12-15 Tornados.

In terms of a FAILED gank attempt, anything would work if you can hook up at a safe spot and blast it with hull, shield, and armour reps at the same time.
Of course, to help boost things up a bit, you'd need a decent drone bay. Since you won't be doing it in combat, you won't need a logistics-bonused ship so much.

For PREVENTION, resists. You can't tank a freighter, so gang links up the wazoo. Boosting skills, warfare links, and DON'T AUTOPILOT THE DAMNED THING.

Yea if your cargo is valuable enough they might bring up to 20 just to be safe, make sure it doesnt fail

Figure 13k alpha per nado at a cost of about 60m each.

If your freighter is in hull, it is a /wrists event. Remote hull reps take so long, and are so cap heavy, it is dastardly. You honestly need a BS with 2 large hull RR's and another BS feeding it cap. The reps are 230/6s and one large RR will deplete a BS's cap in 2 minutes.

Assuming your freighter has 120K hull damage this is 521 cycles, taking 3100s or 52 minutes, for one repper. If you cap yourself out every 2 minutes and take 5 minutes to recharge, you are now looking at around 6 hours.

Have fun!

I messed around in EFT a bit sticking large remote hull reps on BSs. Generally speaking, cap stability with 6 large hull reps going should be workable for most players.

All the battleships I messed with can be fitted for cap stability with 6 large hull rep Is going. Just stuff all the rigs, mids, and lows with CCCs, Cap recharger IIs, and Cap Relay IIs. The old 3xCCC Raven rotting in my hangar can reach 422 cap/s with my skills. That's enough to run 6 large hull reps continuously, and leaves a couple extra highs so you can fit a couple armor reps. With maxed out skills EFT says a lot of T1 BSs can run 7. T1 Amarr boats have CPU issues that limit them to 6, but a Navy Apoc can fit 8 and remain stable. That seems like a bit of a waste though. I think I'll just use that old Raven if my freighter ever gets shot up and somehow manages to not explode.

Just like others have said, you cant remote repair alpha strikes.

The best way of avoiding getting alphaed in the first place is to fill your freighter with useless items.

What you do is you fill your freighter with lots and lots of useless low value items. Several hundred or perhaps thousands of items. Aim for low volume items, not modules but salvage loot and moon materials minerals etc.

This is to "cloak" the really valuable items. It will take you some time to buy these but you wanna survive, right?

By the time the ganksquad finishes reading that gigantic cargo scan item list you'll often be long gone.
