see your first mistake was doing the hauling on the same character that accepted the contract. You forgot rule #1, trust no one.

I don't haul often, but when I do, it's certainly not with the character that accepted the contract.

Why should CCP provide protection for your haulage in high sec?

CONCORD offer a level of deterrent just the same as any law enforcement agency, but as with any police for they're reactive and punitive rather than proactive.

If you want your haulage to be safer, bring the guns. If you don't have any guns, sacrifice some of your profit margin and hire someone who has them to escort you.

Welcome to New Eden, you just learned a very valuable lesson in being prepared and covering your back.

I know this is not this case... but come on... freighter ganking is too much easy this days, it is just stupid to see empty freighters get ganked in high sec just for the lolz.. CCP should really address that. Its ok if a dumb dude dies in a 3B+ freighter in high sec... but empy freighter is a little too much for me.

So people should only be able to have fun if the fun activity in question meets your standards, otherwise CCP should step in and stop them?

Just want to be clear here.

You KNOW that's a lie, right? You would need one hell of a profit margin to pay other players for boring themselves to death as they become useless extra guns on top of CONCORD's once in a blue moon.

There are other measures as well. Don't be a profitable kill is the easiest among the options.

I was adressing Falcon's false point on the use of bringing in guns, didn't intend to write a treaty on how to stay alive. What?

Ganking that Tornado before warp in would have worked perfectly fine. They're not exactly the tankiest ships around.

Otherwise, Grab a Web, Grab a Blackbird, Grab RR. Have someone in fleet put a frigate deep into the docking circle and warp to them so you don't end up off station.

Bringing friends takes many different forms, and the most effective form may differ for different situations. In this case, guns would have worked great.

That whole loss could have been avoided by warping in at 100 (or 75 or 50 for variety) while cloaked and spotting the Tornado on grid. Then you move a few km off center, post ":P" in local and go for a coffee.

Hauling a total of 7 billion in collateral, with that low market value of the four contracts' contents didn't ring a bell?

Think I'll just keep CCP Falcon's post for future quotation, so thanks for this thread, somehow Blink
