EVE General Discussion

I have been struggling with tactics to neutralize freighter ganking in high sec but unfortunately, I can't envision any.
Most of the gankers are already insta-targets now in high sec, and no one has been able to mount a decent defense.
And I don't see any changes to that fact with the new game mechanics.
In fact, it will be worse.

Is there anyone out there that thinks they have tactics that will work in 2 weeks?

Then just shoot them.

Don't fill something that is supposed to be used for bulk transport :TRITANIUM: with plex and blueprints, PROBLEM SOLVED!

it aint hard, just dont haul billions of isk in a freighter.

Surely you realize how inherently ridiculous it is to recommend something which would require this much time, effort, and thought to someone who was incapable of thinking of a single tactic to mitigate the risk of freighter ganking.

Edit: Also why has this thread not been locked yet, like the previous two the OP opened? It seems to be a barely reworded OP from the last one that got locked

What high sec needs is Citizens On Patrol to deal with these gankers and killing the freighter they use to scoop the loot. Like what has already been said, stealing from a wreck flags the freighter making him a legal target to kill.

If they are really outlaws like you say you can alpha or jam them first every time, you just need to lock faster. If they are not outlaws then no you can't stop it, but they can't use the same chars often without going outlaw.

With the coming changes their looter will be the point to hurt them.

Stop looking for "tactics" to stop the omg I R getting ganked this very moment!

All the "tactics" happen before you even undock and there are plenty.

Maybe, and this would take a lot of work, set up groups of trusted people that all fly exclusively the new T1 logi ships.
Fleets would have to be set up like Incursion fleets, with a huge amount of trust with the logi pilots.

The logi pilots would have to advertise like mad that they are operating in a system, and any freighter pilot passing through would be welcome to join the fleet, while they are in that system.

If you had enough trusted logi pilots, you might be able to save the occasional freighter from a gang of Talos attacking a frighter bumped off a gate. I doubt though that unless you had a lot of logi's they could save a freighter from an alpha gank Tornado squad.

By flying T1 logi's, it not might be worth the while of the gankers to suicide the T1 logi's.

But something like this would require massive dedication and co-ordination by the logi pilots, plus a ton of advertising in game and on the forums.

I would further suggest that such a service should be free, and the logi pilots only gain is the satisfaction on thwarting a suicide ganker.

It wouldn't work unless all the logistics are already in position before the gank happens, are alert, and pre-rep every freighter that they see.

Also, a big LOL at carebears coordinating an effort of such scale and complexity. Most of those people don't even know how to put shield hardeners on their exhumers, let alone work as part of a large, complex RR gang.
