EVE General Discussion

If there are no celestials there, then it can't.

The bumper can't gank you solo either, so what's the problem? The freighter automatically wins every 1v1 encounter they face outside a wardec or hilarious stupidity.

CCP Falcon told you to bring friends if you want to protect your hauler. Why do you continue to operate under the delusion that EVE is a single player game?

…therefore, your observations are worthless.

What we can know (and I mean “we” as in the rest of us, not you) know is how the mechanics work and they tell a pretty damning story: you can always — always — warp off.

No, they really wouldn't — at least not in any way that isn't known as well, or better, by the actual participants.

You can warp to more things than just celestials.

Once again, you failed to answer the question: what happens when you bump someone?

And every single one of your suspicions are instantly disproved by reality, so it's probably about time you stopped listening to them and instead opened your ears for the voice of experience and reasoning.

That way, you don't have to add more speculation every time your previous attempts fail (i.e. every time, period). Meanwhile, the spectacularly low death rate of freighters continue, since so few are doing it these days and since they are so ridiculously easy to avoid.

You've still steadfastly refused to provide any traffic volume information.

On 9/2 (the last full day of trading), 76 Freighters and 20 Jump Freighters were purchased in Jita 4-4. So, if we assume Freighters and Jump freighters are one use items and that those were the only freighters moving through HS (), then they had a 93.75% survival rate per trip.

Tell me more about how common Freighter ganks are.

I understand the sentiment of the topic. But for some reason my thought processes are screaming 'maybe if the new players could level up faster'. There's the rub. This is one of the few if not the only games that leveling is of no consequence. Sure, training up in skill points is similar. A player can focus on training up solely on flying a t2 frigate of their respective race in roughly 23-24 days with no implants. They can also train up to fly a t1 cruiser in under 20 hours. Naturally this does not include necessary fittings. It can be argued that the t2 frigate should wipe the t1 cruiser. In the right hands, the exact opposite can occur. My point is that new players are too impatient to learn core mechanics and want ccp to give them magic armor. And if learning is too much of a burden, there is my favorite tactic of just running away. This game is not the most new player friendly game. But it is the king of its genre which is why it keeps attracting new people. Spaceships in space getting wrecked by other spaceships in space. Pretty cool huh?

/pseudo rant over

it really is up to the suicide gankers to decide when they want to start blowing up freighters. They have all the power and are the ones able to operate without significant costs, penalties, or risk.

This is just like the margin trading scam. The victims usually aren't even aware that it is possible until it happens to them and then there is a good chance of kissing that sub goodbye out of the unfairness of it all. I'm amazed at the lack of foresight that this has been allowed to continue for so long. I guess I shouldn't be since it took them 10 years to fix can flipping. And we all know it will predictably just get worse as more people become aware of the insane profits without risk for merely camping a gate in high sec.

A permit sounds interesting but I don't know if I can trust a guy with a mustache

Mr. Belvar, everything in this thread you've just posted is the most insanely idiotic things I have ever read. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this forum is now dumber for having read to it.

I, too, feel like this when someone does something to me in a pvp game. How dare they play the game like that?
