Player Features and Ideas Discussion

i think, based on quick maths and some one else's calculation of the bonus of a slave set... even a 3 trimark slave'd obelisk would have less armour HP than hull HP. there aren't even any t2 resists on an obelisk to offset that fact.

Well if your dog is better than you, the ship might never undock because dogs have trouble with using mouse. If he manage to click the button, now you are **** out of luck and will die as you drift slowly away from the station because a dog definitely won't need less than a full day to select anything and then warp to is.

So how do you explain its monumental rarity and how people can go through their entire account lives without being victims of (or even seeing) one?

Yeah, that's what happens when you pull such nonsensical ideas out of nowhere.

By the way, would you like to venture a guess at how much a Charon — decidedly not an armour tanker — benefits from having armour boosting in the system? Would you like to revise your 1–2% number for something more realistic?

He's not stupid, it's mostly a problem with using a mouse with PAWS!

I'm terribly sorry Mr. baltec1,

Statistics is an exact scientific branch of mathematics. You do not get to change your statements later, or add qualifications when convenient, just to try and squirm your way out of a pinch.

We are trying to determine whether your original statement regarding the chance of getting suicide ganked as a freighter pilot, as compared to being struck by lightening in real life, is true or false.

Now. Do you concede that freighter pilots in NPC corporations are being suicide ganked in HiSec, even with no cargo? Yes or no. This question seemed important to you, so I need an answer.

First, there is no rarity, just over-estimation of how many freighters actually pass per hour. I remember sitting for an hour on a Jita gate during a peak, gates were closed, and in an hour I've seen only about 30 or so freighters hanging there with me.
Second, there are easier targets, namely T1 industrial ships people use to move stuff which doesn't require a freighter. I won't argue about those people being close or not to my dog, but as long as they exist, they just pay more isk/click(wanted to write "effort" but we're talking about ganking...) for gankers, and so they remain primary target.
Third is gankers being simply too lazy. Why should they gank a freighter, which requires to multibox 7 accs, when they can multibox 2 catalysts and gank a miner instead? Ganking a miner is much easier than freighter, they are abundant, so if you just want easy tears, you go for them instead.

All in all, I am simply surprised how bad gankers are. They are crying to make freighters as easy to gank as miners, and it looks like they are succeeding.

quoting, and if i have space, this will go in my sig. ur shame will last till the end of time.

Do you have any statistics to support this assertion?

So you're saying that it's actually very rare.

Do you have any examples of this actually happening?

And how many of those have been ganked?
