Freighters, when I first started playing the corp I was in actually did some escort duties in fact my first death was acting as a diversion in low sec for a hauler moving POS stuff.

First off lets look at the killing part, you say gank them on undock, gank them on gates, this is of course one of the issues, if people wanted to gank they will be ganking something worthwhile, not a gank ship, I know that people are going to say HTFU and all that, but its not exactly a major draw is it? In terms of instra BM's at stations, taht can make it hard to get them, but is doable, though ones ping can have an impact.

Your main focus is freighters and that is not a surprise, anti-bump ships is one way and having interceptors for them to warp to may help, but may make it worse, gate guns help, however the issue is simply that webbing requires that you be in the corp of the freighter or a supreme amount of trust in terms of a duel. If the target is a mining ship you have no chance to stop a gank, only to get on a kill mail of a worthless catalyst, so very impressive.

There is nothing here to interest anyone, its is the definition of slim pickings and something that only a very few focused people would have the attitude to try it.

The list did not go on did it?


It does but you chose to be a victim. Nothing will ever make you happy unless it is the total removal of any risk of pvp at all to your ship.

I have read through the entire thread and have come to the conclusion that if I where to remove every rule breaking post, I would reduce the length of it quite considerably. If it where not for the personal attacks and troll posts, it would be for the off-topic discussion that has ensued.
Also the OP asked a simple straightforward question and in the course of this thread several valid answers were given from various different angles. Therefore I conditioner his question answered.

Which leaves me to take the only reasonably viable option: thread locked.
