So.... you guys are effectively telling me, that 12 guys ( or 1 guy with 12 accounts, or 2 guys with..........) would be so lifeless, that they would sit around a high-sec stargate in a t3 BC, hoping for a freighter to pass through?

Seriously though, i have never ever ever ever ever witnessed anything like that.

I've never seen a T3 Battlecruiser either, you mean a Tier 3?

This is EVE online, people do mining ops.
They'll do a gank fleet.

Also, nobody just sits around a gate waiting for a freighter.
They have one guy with a passive targeter sitting on the gate scanning.
and 20 guys in an ambush spot 1000 KM from the gate waiting aligned.

Uhm, a volley of 12 tornados? what? how big are the odds of that happening in faction space?

Why would anyone move plex out of a station? That's just silly.

if you carry more then 1bil of stuff in a freighter your asking to be suicide ganked... so you won't use the space anyway

even still you must be carrying a lot of crap to care about 80k m3

all the freighters have an advantage in some way

Providence has the best tank and best looks, bascally a rebel transport from star wars.
charon most capacity
obelisk is well rounded but you also can use the itteron 5 which has something like 50k capacity, the most of any industrial ship
the fenrir is the fastest and looks like a sand crawler from star wars.

I dont think the Prov has the best tank. Doesnt it have sometime like 140k whereas the Obelisk has almost 150k? Could be wrong.

Proof or it didn't happ...

I rest my case. Freighters need to lose those hitpoints. No ship should have such a high hp barrier without tank mods and since it can't even fit them....42k hitpoints sound about right. Need to stealth buff hulks and freighters being non-combat ships, this would fix it up real nice as a freighter would be far more valuable.

You do realize Freighters are huge ******* ships right? And that they use Capital components to make. They should not be easy to destroy. Not by a long shot.

When I first started playing years ago it took me around an hour to realize why I couldn't find any freighter fits. It was driving me crazy.

So of course my favorite Obelisk fit is:

Highs: nothing
Mids: nothing
Lows: nothing

Totally cap stable.

You should swap out the Nothing for a Nothing II if you have the skills.
Otherwise a good fit.

I would, but the ISK is kind of a barrier. Do you have ANY idea how much Nothing costs?

Yes. It happens all the time, though generally at choke points or on the approach to Jita.

If you're moving between two systems in the back end of Khanid, you probably aren't going to get suicide ganked. If you are moving goods to market though you risk a gank.

Inability to move bulk goods securely is a problem in this game, though not one that many people are willing to admit to.

Hardly.

Many other MUCH more expensive items are moved regularly out of Stations.

It's moving 74 PLEX out of Jita in a FRIGATE that's an issue.............

Also, only another Freighter can loot a Freighter wreck, so unless CCP have changed that mechanic, you need another Freighter standing by, sitting next to an tractor-beaming Orca to pull that wreck in.
