I like most long time Eve players have many accounts for many uses. Several of those are dedicated haulers with which I make many trips in Orcas so that my most valuable items cannot be scanned. If they dont see it, they have no reason to gank it. The fact that a few cheap destroyers or battlecruisers can now gank a freighter in high sec is horrifying to me. So has Concord gone away? Are they no longer the real law in high sec?

So the changes to Orcas might not be as bothersome if I knew that Concord still had my back in the only place that used to be reasonably safe to move things in. If I go through low sec I use a scout and webber but Concord will kill me for webbing in high sec but those 8 ships can destroy me with impunity.

You could say that those issues are not your area and thats fine but you have not fully considered the ramifications of your changes on the rest of us. If there are no safeguards in place anywhere in the universe then things have truly changed for the worse.

I dont pvp generally. I'm not afraid of a fight but it does nothing for me. I gain no great sense of accomplishment by killing others or less from being killed but I thoroughly enjoy building things and researching things. High sec was always a safe haven and some players never leave it while others enjoy the thrill of risk.

If you remove my ability to travel safely, I will no longer enjoy the facets of this game the I have enjoyed for years. You will do fine without me I'm sure but I am also sure that my $2000 a year adds to the bottom line if only by a tiny fraction.

Someone early on in this post mention that its a rare thing for a freighter to get ganked. Or that if it was a problem it would be happening more. How can a few ships kill a capitol ship before Concord can deal with the issue. Its happening a lot or you just aren't looking at the statistics. That it can happen at all is the real issue.

Its been grand but if all Eve is becoming is another space shooter then Its been fun but it may be time for something else.

If you don't just mindlessly stuff everything you've got, regardless of value into a freighter (or orca) and then autopilot through the chokepoint systems, you should be safe... As with all things eve, you're never totaly safe as there is still a chance to get ganked for lols, even if you are empty.

A bit of planning and you should be fine to keep hauling. If you don't want to do it yourself after the changes, you can use 3'rd praty hauling corps like Red Frog Freight (Blue Frog Freight if your stuff is worth more then 1 bil)

I enjoy the industrial aspect of this game as well. HOWEVER ... If you're going to stuff 15 billion in a freighter, I expect that you're going to get ganked -- and don't cry if you do.

In my opinion, it should also take more than a handful of ships to take a freighter out.

can no longer hide stuff in my corp hangar from the general grunts in fleet, i normaly store all my fuel and useful big mods such as extra reps and energy trasnfers in my bay 7, so only corp directors can see it not the 1 week "who are you" guys.
