If the gankers plan for all of that they deserve the kill mail IMHO along with whatever drops which will be a lot less normally than what other freighters are carrying.


This guy is giving out solid advice on how to avoid being suicide ganked yet gets ignored. I'd like to point out that we have never suicide ganked a freighter that was taking such precautions.


The sad thing is, he's not merely ignored in these threads; people will tell him that he's wrong.

This tells me one of two things about the freighter pilots that ignore or attempt to refute him.

1. They're all stupid.

2. They're really not that afraid of getting ganked, because it's not as common as they claim.

There was ~40 billion worth of stuff in those packages.

They aren't free.


His words; not mine.


even if it was literally a kill that cost 0 isk, the fact that you're unwilling to even attempt not to be ganked is why you deserve to be ganked.

Pretty sure if they were making no effort there'd be a lot more freighters flying through lowsec. It's all relative and at the moment it's heavily skewed in favor of the gankers - one need not look farther than the respective incomes.

Sure it does; you're whining about how coordinating 30 people is difficult and should be rewarded, but you're ignoring how easily ISBoxed the task is.

But see, we'll have to take your word for it, since the KM says you made nothing on the deal. (I have no reason to doubt you, but since plastic wrap never lists contents on KMs, no one knows but the gankers.) It is, however, half the problem when these clowns come in here screaming about how much you make.

Then again, they probably do know, since they're the idiots putting so much value into their cargo hold.

im curious as to the smallest isk value cargo item that can fully fill a charon. (for the smallest cargo value of a completely filled ship)

Its not possible to please all the people all the time, but it sure as hell is possible to Displease all the people, most of the time.

i didn't whine about how hard it was to coordinate 30 people at all, good luck finding that quote. i've not made a single comment on the difficulty of doing so.

again, isboxer is completely irrelevant to the thread. pretending it's relevant is hilarious and incorrect.

this i have to hear; how is it biased in favour of the gankers? really, this is going to be grade A stand up comedy material i can feel it.

Avoiding low sec isn't exactly 'making an effort,' ignoring that fact that freighter pilots do actually operate in low sec.

Low sec also reduces the need for gank ships from multiples to no more than two. In a successful high sec gank, all of the effort involved has been assumed by the ganker(s).

I stand corrected. It turns out we have ganked one webbed freighter out of several hundred.

Taking a significantly elongated route seems like considerable effort to me, especially considering the pay grade.

Four out of several hundred, you're on a roll here. Now all you need to do is prove that we kill a freighter every 20 minutes to fully regain your credibility.

Well you tell us, you're supposedly an expert on the subject. Tell us all about these people that scan, bump, gank, loot & salvage freighters solo.
