Ganking does not just make my freighter-ing more interesting, it also attacks my competition. God love the gankers.

this goes doubly for mining ganks. turns out it doesnt cost very much to hire a ganker to hit other miners, leaving more rocks and ice for my team (plus some amusing raging in local).

if ur gonna quit after getting ganked, then maybe u wouldn't enjoy this game anyways. after the ganks, all there is to look forward to is repeated war decs, thefts and can flipping and so on. Being a non-combat pilot, or playing eve even, requires a patient and rugged individual and/or group.

more on topic, the ABC's add a lot more to the game than take away. they are great ships. i can see the argument for making them T2 tho, they are very specialized and it would allow for a more typical ABC with medium weapons (the brutix would have a lot to gain from this).

Making them T2 would not really do much other than add to their cost. They dnt have to be given extra tank, simply use the same resist boost that bombers get, and ganking would move onto other hulls easily enough. It wont, however, give more roles back to BS's as they would perform much like they do now, if not better, under a T2 role and bonuses.

and i dnt understand Kane's argument. why does ganking in 1.0 or 0.9 have to be expensive?
Personally i'm of the opinion that ganking in higher secs is not game breaking, even when its cheap. ur not safe anywhere in this game, act accordingly.

but +1 anyway

It takes away from bs roles and it makes it too easy to gank for less in high sec space !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Except ABC's still overshadow BS.
Yes, BS have tank. But in a lot of applications you aren't caring about tank, which has removed a large number of roles from a BS. ABC's have the advantage of significant mobility over a BS, gaining even more in Rubicon, and that is typically what matters rather than tank.
So the balance of ABC's is still a relevant point.
6 turrets may be too much of a drop, but 7? Sure you might be able to find a normal BC that out DPS's them, but not at the same ranges the ABC's can project to with Large instead of Medium turrets.
Which then puts them in a much better game slot, and keeps BS more relevant underneath the huge blob level.
While still leaving ABC's fine for use like they are now. Just need 8 instead of 7 (if you even needed 7 before)

you've expressed that you think it is an issue. yet you've failed to express why it's an issue, and why it needs fixing.

b-, can do better.
