none because an afk freighter with cargo gets ganked. Aside from that

Caldari = hold the most
Gallente = biggest tank
minmatar = fastest
amarr = ???

i am pretty sure this is right

Its the sexiest and it does the freighter thing. Useless means it just can't do the freighter thing. In which case it would no longer be a freighter. It would just be sexy. You aren't sexy enough to comment on the Providence.

More even resists = more tank vs gankers than Gallante in practice.

So to expand on this Id also like to know if I could AFK like 1.5-1.7 bil worth of cargo through the major .5 bottlenecks. Some say u need like 20 tornados to bring a freighter down and some say it can easily be done for 500mil worth of investment.


And to place my vote.

500m sounds ok to me. Haven't checked killboards for some time though.

But most of all it depends on the gankers standings with the loot fairy. If the loot fairy likes him...

Remove standings and insurance.

At 70 mil per nado, 5x8 mil for 1400 IIs, plus sebos, gyros, I don't see how 500 mil is anywhere close to enough to gank a freighter.

Then there's the new mechanic on looting, and having to pick up bulky freighter cargo with industrials while at it. Plus 50% drop/destroyed cargo. I don't see how 1.5-1.7 bil in cargo is anywhere close to worth ganking.

But maybe someone will do it for the lulz.

Wouldnt waste my time ganking a freighter even for 2,5bil drops with kill/40 share ration. Then again everyone aint me:P

I've made up my mind. I dont trust ppl to make profitable decisions when calling out viable ganktargets. So 400mil max when afking.

Is there any form of calculator that can help me figure out traveltimes when AFK:ing? I'd lik a comparison between Obelisk and Fenrir

number of jump = X
align time = Y
total amount of AU tu go through systems = Z
max warping speed = A
acceleration time to max warping speed = B
time from 15km to 0m for jump to happen = C
load time for new session when jumping = D

(X * (Y+B+C+D)) + Z/A = total

Probably off by a few minutes.

Believe it or not I know my math ;). And the only way Ill become the calculator I asked for, is when I lose my job, my fiance moves out and takes my daughter with her. I just wont look all those systems up for traveltimes but ty anyways :D

Oh did u mean that there are no calculators for this kind of thing?
