If I'm expected to have alts in order to fly my titan properly, why do you expect any different when flying the largest ships capable of flying in high security space.

You dont need alts to use your titan. As far as I know titans can now use stargates, can warp, can attack anyone without support and can rep themselves. Basicaly anything a regular battleship can do.

How about a mini-game for bumping?

i do see bumping in the list of harrassment and you should ask when does harassment start?


You are making things up. It's not a nice thing to do.

Bumping is OK, from the horse's mouth.

Anyway... with all the hate freighters are getting constantly on GD and in game we might as well just delete that ship type and its T2 variant from the game and just haul using industrials. Seems like thats what most people want....

Not people that know how to fly them and understand that they have to protect themselves.

Where did you get that from?

I own a freighter, I make trips almost daily. Nobody is anti-freighter here.

I know that you need to protect yourself and your ship. If I had a freighter, I would definitely fit either bulkheads or armor tank or would try to make an optimal tank fit in EVE hq.
My issue is solely with bumping and, that if pilot simply happens to have his corpmates offline and doesnt drop more money on this game just to have a web alt, he cant defend himself against bumping. And sorry but even with nano and intertia stabs the align time is so high the enemy has plenty of time get you into the "eternal torture of bumping".

It's pretty simple, if it is not safe to fly your freighter, you shouldn't fly it. All of this whining about bumping is from people who want to play solo in a multi-player game. CCP has given us the tools to be able to play by ourselves but it costs more.

We want people like you to learn how to fly them better - thus minimising the repeated calls to make Eve Online easier.

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 counter productive 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. Discussion of real life religion and politics is prohibited.

Discussion of real life religion and politics is strictly prohibited on the EVE Online forums. Discussions of this nature often creates animosity between forum users due to real life political or military conflicts. CCP promotes the growth of a gaming community where equality is at the forefront. Nationalist, religious or political afiliations are not part of EVE Online, and should not be part of discussion on the EVE Online forums.

27. 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 to the off-topic poster.


Thread re-opened.

Ouch, 6 pages of posts gone. There was some legit stuff there too.

I wrote some true EVE stories! And no, they're not of the generic "my 0.0 alliance had lots of 0.0 fleets and took a lot of 0.0 space" sort. Check them out here:
