Is it just me or are the whines about freighters now more tedious than the whines about cloaking?

The align time doesn't change, as far as I can tell. To quote the devpost on warp speed:



In short: Your suggestion is bad, has been posted dozens of times already and is based on a false understanding of the changes about to come.

I tried on sisi and the time before entering warp is longer.

Perharps it is not because of the align time but it is longer.

I do not see what is the problem with my proposition. This is more about have choice like on any other ships.
You would have the choice between a big cargohold or tank or mobility. Perharps there is another option. B
But I think that for the moment the freighters are not really interestening to fly.
It is just another boring thing to do to move assets between A to B.

Here's a radical solution to your problem: Stop doing **** that you find boring.

Thank you for your answers.

The charts show that warps will take more time when they are shorter than about 60 to 70 AU....
I think that most of the warps are shorter than that so the travels will take mare time.

They already are very long....

Freight is boring and dangerous, and you have not a lot option to change this fact...

And thanks for the suggestion such as "dn't do it" but it is not the point. In fact I already don't do it.

I think that this game should be a game of choices. But with freighters the choice is "flying or not flying a freighter".

I don't know... But there is probably something to do to make this more interestening for everybody...

Low slots have defiantly been proposed on freighters in the past. I think it will eventually come down to it .. though you might not like it because it will likely be followed by a base EHP nerf. I do know one thing though i would expect capitals to be rebalanced summer of 2014 and with that freighters will be looked at

not just you....


they now its a big fat slow ship when they train for it

they buy it like that

then complain after


Secret to freightering is find ways to entertain yourself on long hauls. In rl this is why truckers have the cb radios. Besides finding out where the state po po are at they pass the time shooting the crap. Alt tab and do something else during the warp or run in window mode and bounce the active window as needed.

Learn this lesson well, you will reuse if you ever go to the blob. You do the same thing on bash ops.


Or....buy a transport and a orca to make smaller hauls go faster. I used transports for small high value cargo. Zips right along. And I travel fit an orca for medium loads. Avoid cargo mod/rigs.....you want speed/agility/ soon warp. While not an inty obviously some speed/agility mods gets orca noticeably better for moving around in.

where was this at?

Here is my take on this. If valid 20 people came fit to spec and followed orders to get the kill under the shot clock that is concord saying hi. Kill kind of deserved there. I have seen much smaller roams where up to half of the roamers could not get their head and their ass wired straight and we were just ineffective (some times I sucked too....I'll take my share of blame lol). Wrong fit, not following fc commands, tard mistakes....we were just out of sync.



20 peeps all on the same sheet of music.....stuff is going to die. This is harder to get working in game than some realize. More players involved, more chances for more people to mess something up.

lol sure... dont try to tell us it is hard to do cause it is not

Sure. That would do it. 3 t1 cargo rigs + expanders = whatever amount you can carry today. Then you could sacrifice m3 capacity for tank or speed. 3 rig slots and 3 lows would do it for me. No need to bring cloaks and mwds into this.
