actually, it's more than 40k

It's upwards of 100k, actually… but it makes the ship a lot worse if you do. Blink

If you just want a sturdier, faster ship with half the cargo, JFs pretty much do that already. Orcas do about half of what a JF does (if we ignore the ship hangar). DSTs do about half of whan an Orca does.

I really really dislike people that don't understand what terms mean before they use them.

At best freighter ganks are a sink as they remove things from the game.

A faucet is something that creates something from thin air. aka NPC bounties.
A sink is something that removes something from the economy, aka taxes and sov fees.

None is suitable to transport things between 100k and 300k m³.

The goal here is to comprise.

People wanted riggable freighters and those of us that are sane don't want these massive across the board nerfs.

JFs cost 7-8x times as much as regular freighters.

These would cost around the same as orcas, wouldnt have the boosting of orcas and would be totally devoted to hauling.

Personally I want nothing to change here at all, but I'm trying to come up with reasonable solutions.

No. You don't understand what the term means.
We're talking about ISK here. No ISK is removed from the game. Every freighter loss is a giant ISK faucet since their destruction creates ISK through insurance.

Wulfy's original claim was that reducing the freighters' EHP made them into an ISK sink. Sipphakta entirely accurately corrected him by pointing out that a freigther kill is an ISK faucet.

Fozzie, I know you guys see these posts, and I know you can't comment on everything, and lastly I know that introducing art assets to the game takes time. However this is my proposal and will likely be far more appeasing to all parties involved than the current changes.

Leave the current freighters as they are.

Make smaller new freighters.

Make them have half the cargo, hit points, align time and build cost and double the warp speed.

Give them 3 rig slots

Win

OR

Leave the current freighters alone

Make ONE new freighter in the ORE line with the above stats and say that ORE needed something with better agility for deep space mining or some mobo jumbo like that.


Already in game... it's called an Orca.


Because an orca has 500k m3???


400k smb
50k ore bay
40k fleet hangar
whatever your cargo ends up at with skills and fittings...

yeah, it does have 500k m3... technically.


No it does not. If you could put 400k of regular general cargo in the SMB then you might have a point. but you can't. So you arent adding anything relevant to this conversation.

and they ARE an isk faucet because of insurance.

I like how you are correcting me by putting words in my mouth.

Sinks and faucets can apply to game items as well as isk.

Insurance applys to every ship in game so the applicability to this ship is rather limited when talking about game balance as a whole.

You are really bad at forums.

You even said "isk sink" when you were talking about freighters.

And you're wrong, because you have no freaking clue what you're talking about, because insurance is totally a thing as it turns out.

Well we have me proposing alternative solutions to get things to a better state than we have now, and we have you who is only filling this thread with I told you so posts... Looks to me like the whining is falling more on your side than mine.

They absolutely don't. JF fill a completely different role. They are rather miss-used as smaller gate-to-gate freighters and from a price point are in an absolutely different league.

If I'm bad at forums you are as equally as bad at reading: This is my orginal post that is still unedited:

NO WHERE IN MY RESPONSE DID I MENTION THE TERM ISK.

But yes insurance is a thing and it applies to all ships, not just this one.

You mean by cutting off your failed attempt at correcting him when he was right all along?

Quote:

Yes, but we're only talking about iSK here. You started by saying that you dislike when people misuse the term faucet and sinks, as if to imply that his correct answer was a misuse of the term. You then went off on a completely irrelevant tangent.

Quote:

We're not talking about game balance as a whole. We're talking about how reducing the EHP on freighters does not turn them into ISK sinks. So how about you stop trying to make yourself correct by putting words in other people's mouths, hmm…?

Quote:

In other words, your response was 100% irrelevant.

considering i haven't whined once; and literally every post of yours in the last 2 pages has been whining about orcas not carrying 400k of cargo...

you might want to check the tally again, darlin'.
