3 being the biggest issue. If you took the time to fly that with an alt or ap'd them both I doubt anyone would have bothered with you.



The fact that anyone undocks a freighter in anything but an NPC corp hauler (and no, gankers, Petre isn't my hauler, he's a forum alt, calm down) with a scout or two is beyond me...


On a only slightly related note and in a far too obvious attempt to spread some more controversy to keep this beautiful thread alive, let me state that I find it pretty hilarious how we all are using npc corp alts for delicate tasks such as freighter piloting or boosting and yet condemn those filthy, risk averse, subhuman carebears for hiding in npc corps.

Hell, I'VE HAD IT with you guys and this game, for real this tyme.

I can't move high valuable goods during Burn Amarr without getting ganked in a freighter!!!!???? I'm not bad at the game, THE GAME IS BAD and absolutely NOTHING WAS MY FAULT and I don't accept any of your feedback because I'm awesome and always right because my mum says so probably.

Also, this one tyme someone called me a nastie name and made fun of me and my dad knows a dude, who knows a dude who has a second cousin who knows someone who works at CCP he thinks and I'm going to ask him that all yous are BANNED because this is my game and everyone must play it the way I want it to be played.

Until then, see you later lossers, I'm going to go play Elite.

Is there an effective counter to the freighter bumping gate gank? Even with a webbing associate, won't the bump prevent a warp?

Is the MWD+warp trick sufficient to get an Orca away from the bump?


I'm too lazy to see if anyone else already replied to this, so if someone has, too bad.

When I need to move my freighter alts, I use a dual webbed daredevil. (I chose the daredevil cause it looks awesome, that's the only reason. Seriously) I have a microwarpdrive on it too.

When my freighter loads into system I tell it to warp to the next stargate and jump. Immediately after, my daredevil decloaks and microwarps towards the freighter (careful not to hit it), as soon as he's in range, engage both webs, and the freighter hits warp immediately.

The freighter is only on grid for about 3-5 seconds if you do it right. Not nearly enough time for the bumping macharials to notice, align to, and hit you.

If you see them on grid, you can move the daredevil closer to the freighter before it even decloaks, that way the second it decloaks you lock it and dual web it.

It's not flawless, but it's damn hard to catch the freighter that way. It works for Orcas as well.

And no, the MWD + Warp isn't enough for an Orca. It helps, but the bumper would have to be asleep or distracted.

I just use a sensor boosted Rapier. The web range bonus means I don't have to move, and the rapier is already decloaked wll before the frieghter even jumps. Mids are all webs and sensor booster plus some tank and signal amps in the lows, and my overview is set to only see friendly frighters. 2 seconds from freighter decloak to warping.

Why do people keep mentioning the lack of a tank in this situation? It didn't matter if his tank was maxed out or not. 18 catalysts and a talos is at least 323k damage. If they pre-positioned concord away from the bump area then it's more like 387k damage. A max tanked charon with all V skills only has about 307k ehp. That means regardless of tank that charon was going to die.

Tank isn't going to save you from anything other then maybe gank newbies. A good tank could dissuade some of the smaller ganker groups too but with hyperdunking being allowed it's unlikely. The people involved with this gank though are NOT gank newbies.



More to the point it was during Burn Amarr. We were ganking EVERYTHING, tanked, untanked, didn't matter. We didn't even care what it was carrying. Though obviously we prioritized higher value targets.

I do the same thing. I use Federation Navy webs - the time delay between decloak and warp is literally the time to target the freighter.

Another important thing is to ask yourself if you really need a freighter for the trip.
If you don't have to haul massive amounts of stuff, DSTs are much cheaper, much faster and much more agile while sporting about the same EHP as a freighter.
Triple inertia-stabbed Mastodon is a beast, just sayin'.
DSTs are so much faster, that you could do a couple of trips with a DST and still be faster than a single freighter trip.

because when 2 charons both hauling 10b jump in to the system you're in... the first one you're going to shoot is the untanked one.

don't be the guy that gets shot first.

Clearly they didn't even bother to scan the tank of the victim as they brought enough to kill a fully tanked Obelisk which has far more ehp then a fully tanked charon. Had they scanned the tank they would of saved isk by not bringing the talos(70-80m fitted) and if they really wanted to skimp some of the catas (7-8m fitted). One talos is easily the cost of 10 catas. Instead they brought enough damage to take out the highest ehp freighter you can get).

In this case the one shot first is the first one they bump.

That much was blindingly obvious. You brought enough damage to destroy even a max tanked obelisk. :P
