Freighters get to chose two of the following:
--loooooonger align times. Yay.
--less cargo space. Meh, I never ran fully loaded anyway.
--Less tank. Easier to gank. Yay.

Regardless of what you pick, you get f***ed in the a**. But you get to choose precisely how you get f***** in the a**. So they whine and dine you first, and THEN you get your choice of ribbed, lubed, or dry. Wonderful.


Out of... curiosity, let's call it, which one is ribbed, which is lubed, and which is dry?

There are millions of stupid changes suggested. Only when they are entertained by CCP do they show any real change of being implemented. Wasting your time shooting down stupid suggestions that have no chance of being implemented would suck.

Or
You can have cargo rigs nerf structure.
Agi rigs nerf structure
Hull rigs nerf cargo



The penalties of rigs are tiny, and aren't really a meaningful tradeoff.. You could fit one of each and the penalties are so low with rigging V u now straight buffed ur freighter when it was in no need of a buff.

Not by much and who gives a shite

So what was the point?


capacity is powerful for a freighter. u want a straight 70% buff to capacity? hell no.
with hull rigs adding around 70% hp, yeah it is.
speed is useful for freighters, and if u dnt think ppl give a ****, read the hull rig thread.

the point is players wanted choice. they got it. dnt cry at me boy, i was one of the ones saying that this would happen if freighters got rigs and/or slots.

and what about a little buff to the range ?

Max Jump Range: 5 > 6.5 lightyears ?

Longer align is ribbed. Less cargo is lubed. Less tank is dry.

Sure, if you ignore all the things that make them not a magical teleportation technique, like the fuel cost, the need for a dozen cyno alts and the soul crushing annoyances of logistics.


And let's not forget the travel back through high sec where anyone can suicide you and get a sweet 8+b killmail for very little cost and effort.

Ive noticed something in this discussion, that those that didnt want freighters changes are now coming here in droves claiming all we wanted on freighters were rigs, I was heavily involved in those discussions and I; as well as you, know that that was not the limit of what we were suggesting.

We wanted flexiblity, just like the ORCA, rigs, highs, mids, lows, the whole deal, to now claim all we wanted is rigs is just cheap ass bullshit.

The costs for that change could have been mitigated by just reclassifying freighters as 'large' instead of capital since they walk like a large, talk like a large and act like a large (in that they can go into highsec) anyways.

But this takes creativity something that seems sorely lacking in this sadly comical 'solution'.

Yawn,  I'm right as usual. The predictability kinda gets boring really.

Good idea at first , massive nerf after all items where disclosed.

Especially in case of JF.
You have to remember that hauling will be more expensive after fuel requirement changes.
Why not increase fuel requirements for super capitals and at the same time increase bonus on fuel consumption for jump freighters from 10% to 20%?

So :
1. Increase fuel requirements for massive super capital ships by 3-4 times.
2. Increase fuel reduction bonus on all Jump Freighters from 10 to 20% per level

THEN
think about reducing cargoholds of those ships.

Reducing swarms of super capitals will be good for eve, but reducing ability to haul subcapital supplies for smaller groups will eventually reduce the amount of fun people can have in this game.

Less fun > less players > less fun > Less players ....

So lets talk about the HPs of a max cargo rigged freighter, has anyone done the math on how many, catalysts / talos are required after the changes? Pirate

gotta admit, i too was expecting large rigs like the orca rather than capital rigs.

I expected nerf. I didn't expect such nerf. agility+tank+fuel cost+cargo don't you think that's too much for JF?

Yes. Miniluv has and Burn Jita 4 will be both easier and with higher killmail values.

Ew... Not good changes imo.

Yes they are getting rigs but all of them are nerfed to hell. I can't believe JFs are loosing that many cubic meters while still having the 50% increase in fuel costs......

I don't know what JFs did to you but again, holy sh...

Also the difference in terms of cargohold between caldari and matarr ones is now too thin to justify such a difference in agility and speed.

fuel cost doesn't really have anything to do with this. that's happening regardless. it's also not happening until crius either.

Agree about fuel. But in summary we have what we have Sad

even if those highs mids and lows would come with even more nerfs?

making the rigs large may be one way to go. but most complaints at the prices seem to be because they want to fit T2 rigs. T1's are less than 100mil a piece in Hek.

Dude can u please post one more time saying "but you asked for this"
We haven't gotten the "told you so" message the first 16 times you have posted it. Ugh

BTW to answer your silliness, when people asked for rigs or modules, they didn't think ccp would play their 29% nerf/30% buff game. Why? I don't know, can't tell you. Maybe they haven't been around that long? Maybe they believe in unicorns? I pretty much expected we'd get screwed.
