Ships & Modules

I am looking for a webber / safety escort for my freighter. I occasionally make runs to lowsec, only a few jumps.

I am looking to be able to prevent my fighter from getting poped from small fleets of 1-3 ships, as my travel systems never have gate camps.

Additionally, I would have scouted ahead for large camps / disruptors. I am only concerned about meeting other people in transit.

I was thinking of using a Scorpion setup for jamming,, this would allow me to prevent them from warp disrupting, and i could warp off the freighter to a safe spot.

Below is my fit. Please note I would go to tec 2 when training is done. Additionally, the webbers are needed to speed up the Freighter warp time.

Please critique.

Everybody with at least half a brain will just bump your freighter out of alignment until they're finished killing the Scorp.

Yes. I've lost deep space transports this way too. Freighter would be hell. You ARE going to lose it. It's almost a certainty. You need a little blob to protect it, not just a single alt. If you've managed to survive until now it's mostly luck.

It takes 3 webs to insta warp a freighter, 2 if the freighter is about 1-2 secs into it's align.

You think you can lock and web your freighter into warp before someone else locks and points it?

As others have said, you're going to lose your freighter.

Also, if you posted with your freighter character I'd strongly advise against using it in low-sec anytime soon. It is probably a safe bet you're on numerous contact lists with login notification and locators have already been run.

Yes. Problem with freighter is they warp so slow. Even if you get away, they'll arrive at the next gate ahead of you and can try again.

Aaand your overloaded web range is 12km. You spawn on the opposite side of the gate and are now 24km away from the Charon. What you are gonna do now in your Scorp without a propulsion mod? The ECM burst is most likely get you GCC and nothing else. Multispecs are no good.

Anyway, if you must go through low-sec get proper scouts. +1 gate and -1 gate as a minimum and a webber staying with the freighter. Once you get the "go!" from the scouts, warp the freighter to an off-grid bookmark near the out-gate. Upon arrival collect intel from scouts again, then warp to the gate and jump through. If baddies get reported just log-off webber and freighter to make the system appear empty.
