At least on the JF, which is extremely expensive! It should have ALOT more tanking abilities then it's T1 counterpart. With it's already smaller cargohold, players will be deciding to pick Cargohold expanders...which reduce tank, as we already know. Or go full tank and loose precious cargo space.

It's a good balance!


No - not unless hull is going to be cut by 60 %.
DC is way too overpowered on a freighter. You are already looking at very high ehp post kronos.


Well, unless you use cargo mods anyway.

Now the price to get your old cargo numbers back is a higher hitpoint loss than before, since cargo modules cost structure, where rigs cost armor.

you have started in the first post the use of capacitor power relays on jf's when they don't have enough cpu to fit one T2 one,
is there any reasoning behind this?



The Meta 4 cap relay has a base CPU requirement of 3.

This is reduced by energy Grid upgrades to 2.25 (if you have it at 5. 25% reduction)

All the JF have a CPU of 5. Which is increased to 6.25 by CPU Management 5.

So you'll be able to fit 2, no problem.

And if you want to get fancy, take a look at the Type E CPR. Which has a CPU requirement of 1. Now, it's only a 10% bonus, but it'll neatly drop into that space.

Woo! CSM XI!

I was reffering to the JF with a "Maybe" on the Freighter.

Simply because of the cost difference between the two ships and how easy it is to gank both of them.

So you'd like 1 DCU and 2 cargo expanders right? A magnificent one-touch double your EHP button and 800k cargo.
Why would any freighter fit anything else?

I've been vehemently arguing against giving freighters anymore CPU, because giving them a DCU would be rampantly overpowered. And I am rubbing my hands in glee thinking of the fools who will triple cargo rig these things and chop their hitpoints in half.

That's true but again it's not beyond the wit of a large organisation to make it easier. But anyway CCP have decided to make it even worse by dumping on Jump Freighters and fuel.


It ain't true.
Been living in null for over a year and rarely see supercaps. Certainly don't need them.
JF and carriers however are very helpful and i wish i could fly a carrier Sad
No matter how many supers the others get they will never capture our npc stations.

Money at its root is a form of rationing. When the richest 85 people have as much wealth as the poorest 3.5 billion (50% of humanity) it is clear where the source of poverty is. http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jan/20/trickle-down-economics-broken-promise-richest-85

99% of players will do this, just so they don't have to do as much runs....which means ganks will increase, and so will the tears!

Charts without proper interpretation are meaningless. You would need to compare the ratio of total players active at any given time to players that live primarily in null and then those that lived other places. I bet the ratios are the same now as they were then.



Given that we have more subs and a much higher PCU while "it's just as empty at it was back then", as you put it, the logical conclusion is that it's not what you think/hope it is.


Well like I said, I haven't been to 0.0 since 2008. I still bet with PROPER study the ratios would be nearly the same.


So what you're saying is "I made **** up, I haven't even seen it first hand AND I can't use and apply basic logic", duly noted.

Ok, new tables:

• New alignment times depending on base and a more balanced fit (red = worse than Rubicon, Green = better than rubicon).

• The full gamut of Tank vs. Cargo (red = worse than both base and Rubicon stats; yellow = better than Rubicon, worse than base; blue = better than base, worse than Rubicon; green = better than both).

I haven't really done any other combos because the other sensible modules (CPR, istab, hacc) either have no effect at all or no effect that freighter pilots care about.

tl;dr: the only ones who have anything to complain about anything anymore are gankers…

Thats a terrible reason why. More money does not necessarily mean more safety. You spend more money for the jump drive and a bit of extra tank. There is no reason to ask to almost double your HP on top of that.
