Crime & Punishment

The sense of entitlement of these freighter pilots is beyond absurd. Eve is not some theme park where you are completely safe from harm at all times - just like the real world is never completely safe.

If you are some carebear freighter pilot that thinks they are entitled to autopilot through all of high sec without the danger of losing your ship, you do not understand eve.

If you wish to play a game where you can run around recklessly without any danger of pvp, you should go play WoW. Stop your entitled whining and begging, and play eve as it is meant to be played - with a sense of danger and excitement. Everyone is sick and tired of your constant groveling at the feet of CCP for nerfs to ganking. You are not guaranteed safety anywhere in high sec - that is the whole point of eve. You are never safe unless you are docked, and even then you are not safe from yourself (scams).

Stop whining. If you don't want to get ganked by CODE and lose billions, pay them 10m. Its a very simple and realistic protection racket, and we should all be impressed and proud that we play a game where an organization of this kind can exist and prosper. If you disagree, do something about it yourself instead of whining like an entitled brat.

Let us know how that works out for you.

For an anti ganker you seem to be surprisingly level headed and realistic about the game, people like yourself that treat it as a bit of fun are much more acceptable than the usual rabid shitposters.

I really can't decide if I want to shoot blinkies because it's fun or if I want to help the blinkies because most carebears seem like a bunch of screaming sociopaths that really need their sandbox turned over. =x

The only good reason to use autopilot is going back home with an empty ship with maybe 20 jumps to do.

The code will tell you that they're doing it to teach you a lesson. This couldn't be more wrong. They're not killing what's not profitable, unless their reputation is at stake (take it as an investment then). But if you fly a cheap and tanky freighter there's no reason they will ever attack you. It's like mining. Make a 90k eHP procurer and no one in the code will ever manage to destroy you, they'd need to spend 100M or more in ships and modules to take down a 20M ship you can buy within maybe 20 mins of mining. On the long run this isn't profitable for them, so just ignore them and fly cheap. They will never spend several millions to take down a 500k ISK empty freighter.

I suggest you read up on the killboards. Yesterday a triple reenforced bulkhead fenrir died that was empty. Why? No mining permit.

Most of the times people should fly that. A freighter is only required when you have to move vast amounts of ore. Also, last time I checked the obelisk could be fitted to get something like 300k eHPs. Which means something like 30 T2 catalysts to take it down before the concord stops the show. That's still profitable but the required manpower seems a bit huge considering that manually jumping from one gate to another makes someone virtually almost immune to anything in high sec.

I wasn't talking about overly expensive ships, mind you. But you're right, it's risky. I do that all the time when I fly something cheap and don't want to suffer doing the jumps myself. But it's mostly with fits worth something like 2-3M at most. Which isn't a big loss if someone feels like losing an overly expensive ship to get some metal scraps.

Unsustainable for any entity if they weren't being donated billions a day.

I'm pretty sure the 3bil+ freighters dying everyday are donating enough to keep us going for a long time.
