Player Features and Ideas Discussion

General Cosmo. your tears are delicious.

Its not just this patching. It was crime watch and the loss of insurance on ganks. I said along time ago they (the whiners) may not want these changes. Gankers of old were less organized and less successful in general as they'd sometimes freestyle it with no plan or organization and see what shakes. Some were like drunken idiots going out to hunt and seeing what shooting in the general direction of a deer would get them as an analogy.

All these changes made them need and not just want the kill more. So they mess around less these days because they really want something from the gank attempt. I used low sec gate camps as my base for this way back. Pirates live off loot drops. On the average they make sure they they get said loot drops.

Generally good planning and successful ops/roams/ganks go hand in hand. They made the gankers up their game planning wise...and now they complain even more about it.

I believe Freighters are getting a buff but I don't recall if this is accurate or not.

Otherwise, I would suggest getting a corp-mate to assist your freighter in alignment to the next stargate more quickly with stasis webbifiers.
Easy as 1 - 2 - 3
1 - corp mate jumps into system, decloaks, and with webs ready gets prepared to target the freighter. (best in a Huggin with dual webs)
2 - freighter aligns
3 - Corp-mate targets, webs, and watches the lock drop as the freighter insta-warps.

several things to make sure of:
1 - Always keep safties green. If you are in high sec, you can web corp-mates without concord penalty, but if you have safties off and you web the wrong target by mistake... well, you know what happens.
2 - By the time the weapons timer counts down the 60 seconds, you should be able to warp into the next star system ahead of the freighter. Those things are slow.
3 - Corp-Mate means player corp mate, not NPC corp-mate - concord will ruin your day if you try this on an NPC corp-mate.


The other option: don't fly with overly expensive cargo or just double-wrap it. Gankers like showing positive net kill rankings, not net loss. Even with the Tornado, enough to pop a freighter still sees ISK limitations - otherwise you would see freighter ganking with even greater frequency.

Know this: if they want you dead, you will be dead. Fly smarter than them and you place the odds more in your favor.

The Tier 3 BCs are good to me. the problem is the Freighters and Industrial ship tank. Tier 3 are not the only ships that are used to burn Freighters...

Battleships should be able to make a little more dps than them. Though.

That's three. Not twenty four.

5 pages. Wow. ok, here we go.

1. My tear cup runneth over.
2. inb4 tiericide. Oh, wait...
3. Show me on the dolly where the bad Tornado touched you.
4. Catalyst wants to say hi.

umm... yeah. That should do it.

Hay they maybe tears from a clown, but the fact is they are responsible for most if not all the high sec ganking
that suggest malicious intent by ccp intended towards being menacing towards all the hard working masses
they are the ones building the ships and making the eve world go around!

maybe they should think about that that all!


why dont they make the tier 3 bc the torp version of the stealth bomber w/o the cloak or bomb bonus
at least they would have a legitimate use!
