EVE General Discussion

Every time someone in this thread mistakes faction police for CONCORD, a new ganker gets his wings.

I'll give you a hint: If the ganker's ship can still warp, CONCORD isn't even on the way.

So... just to prove my point I grabbed a Nado and went to a popular suiciding system....

within roughly 15 minutes i found 2 -10 dessys....

both dead before they could suicide anyhting, sadly the char i am using has ****** skills so the faction police stole one of the killmails.

But i am happy to provide the killmail for the other one if you need proof.

Not going to post it here since it will be removed anyway.

GOT IT!!

Freighter Accompaniment and Protection Service [FAPS.]

We at FAPS. take the escort of your precious commodities seriously. Our patented Freighter Accompnient Protection (FAP) process will insure that your freighter reaches its intended destination. By blanketing your freighter in the results of our FAPping, gankers will by stymied in their attempts to do harm to your hard enarned merchandise. Don't trust look alikes or copy cats - we can FAP longer and harder than any of them. Trust your freight the the professionals. Trust us to FAP all over your freighter.

Edit: Assistance would also work.

If your flying solo its possible that they may be bumping you towards a warpable object, In that case just warp to it and your free. Fit a DCU and 2 bulkheads, it gives you somewhere in the range of 600k ehp on a freighter.

Your hauling stuff in a freighter, you shouldn't be alone anyway. 3x webs or a bump in the right direction will get you into warp very quickly. Its not unreasonable that capital ships (and freighters are capital ships) should not be flown solo and unguarded.

Check your route though highsec, if a system has alot of kills in it, even in highsec, avoid it. I know it might be 20 extra jumps to go around but hey it will still take less time then letting your freighter afk autopilot the trip.

Jump freighters you have no excuses at all, you can jump to the nearest lowsec system to your destination, land on the gate and jump into highsec. after that just avoid the systems with high kill rates.

Honestly is any of this so hard that people refuse to do it. Freighter pilots want to be killed if they are not doing these things.

Stop complaining that its unfair, or that bumping shouldn't be allowed. It is allowed, CCP said it was, time to adapt.

And before anyone says anything about me being just another ganker, check my killboard. I don't gank people. But I do find gankers to be very useful in punishing the stupid.

The fire, it has such pretty colors

err, did you miss the whole "how to defend yourself" part of the thread?
it was pretty clear.

I have removed some rule breaking posts and those quoting them. As always I let some edge cases stay.
Please people, keep it on topic and above all civil!

The Rules:
3. Ranting is prohibited.

A rant is a post that is often filled with angry and counterproductive comments. A free exchange of ideas is essential to building a strong sense of community and is helpful in development of the game and community. Rants are disruptive, and incite flaming and trolling. Please post your thoughts in a concise and clear manner while avoiding going off on rambling tangents.

4. Personal attacks are prohibited.

Commonly known as flaming, personal attacks are posts that are designed to personally berate or insult another forum user. Posts of this nature are not beneficial to the community spirit that CCP promote and as such they will not be tolerated.

5. Trolling is prohibited.

Trolling is a defined as a post that is deliberately designed for the purpose of angering and insulting other players in an attempt to incite retaliation or an emotional response. Posts of this nature are disruptive, often abusive and do not contribute to the sense of community that CCP promote.

7. Use of profanity is prohibited.

The use of profanity is prohibited on the EVE Online forums. This includes the partial masking of letters using numbers or alternate symbols, and any attempts at bypassing the profanity filter.

26. Off-topic posting is prohibited.

Off-topic posting is permitted within reason, as sometimes a single comment may color or lighten the tone of discussion. However, excessive posting of off-topic remarks in an attempt to derail a thread may result in the thread being locked, or a forum warning being issued.

34. Posting of kill reports outside of the Crime & Punishment forum channel is prohibited.

More often than not, posts of this nature are made with inflammatory intent and are designed to promote trolling and flaming. Therefore, the posting of links to kill reports from any third party site, or the direct copy-pasting of kill reports from in game is prohibited on all forum channels of the EVE Online Forums, with the exception of the Crime & Punishment Channel.
Specific rules regarding the omission of pilot names apply in this instance. Further details can be found in the rules stickies in the Crime & Punishment forum channel.


On topic, I have flown Freighters to the edge of Null-Sec to supply Low Sec stations, flown Jump Freighters to the deepest parts of Null-Sec to re-supply 'our' wormhole system if that was the easiest way to do so. My trusty Big Ships have seen the corners of New Eden. I have never lost a single one of them.
Oh I'm sure the day will come I do. But till this day the simple rules I fly by work, so who knows.
- Inform yourself on the route you are going to fly. Use the map and any other info source you can lay your hands on.
- Use a scout, preferably two. Yes, also in High-Sec.
- Use a tackler as companion. Two or three webs do wonders on you time to warp.
- 'Force' a few corporation members as escort to tag along in fast locking hard hitting ships, preferably an additional one fitting loads of ECM. (Hey, it's their money too in the hold if you fly for your corporation!)
And yes, some routes take days of planning and preparing.
But hey, what do I know. I'm just a Carebear in an Indy Wormhole corp. (We file our teeth though )


btw, Thread unlocked.

This. While also selling replacement freighters and implants to those who have just suffered losses.

I think is far worse that this thread gets constantly ganked.

From where I stand bumping is an aggressive action and should have some effect in line with that.

If, in real life I walked up to you and kept pushing you I wouldn't get away with it. So why is that true here? Let it happen and just build a solution that lets you get your butt beat for it.

Same thing for ganking... who cares if it happens... but in real life if a terrorist on the FBI wanted list was just sitting at a starbucks watching and deciding who he might jump, sooner or later the police would get him BEFORE he killed someone. Something like this needs to be built around ganking... it is simple... live and die by the sword.
