Except this isn't actually in the game yet.

If you can get one, a webbing alt will solve all your problems.


Cause webbing alts are immune to suicide ganking and NOBODY has thought of using a sacrificial ship to point the freighter, while the bump is on the way...

Not sure what you're trying to say there, mate.

A webber is your best defense, especially against bumping. On top of that, it makes your trips quicker.



A scout is your best defense.

Common sense is also helpful. Niarja is the ganker's playground. Most ganks happen in a small number of 0.5 systems. The lion's share occur in Niarja. Niarja has not stations but quite a few gates. The 2 gates on the Amarr-Jita pipe is where all the bad stuff happens. It's pretty easy to use alternate gates to get through. Sure it's a few extra jumps, but you do avoid the 2 biggest gank spots in new eden.


Sloth and risk taking are your enemies. Avoid these at all costs. You obviously can't avoid all risk, but you can minimize it. Take steps to reduce your risk to an acceptable level and then if you get ganked - be OK with it. You took what you consider reasonable steps to safeguard your cargo and still got wonked - be OK with it - it's part of the game you logged in to play. Things don't always go your way in space - that's just how it is.
