Hi I would like to suggest that stealth jump freighters could be implemented, they would operate like normal jump frieghters but with the ability to lock on to a covert cyno instead of just a normal one. It may use more fuel and have a smaller cargo hold but would make it an invaulable tool for any hauling operation in null sec. No, they can't use a cloak.

This should be good.

Get an alt with a blockade runner and use a black ops.

When you don't know the difference between there, their, and they're, you come across as being so uneducated that your viewpoint can be safely dismissed. The literate is unlikely to learn much from the illiterate.

...No, you cannot remove the only vulnerability window a halfway competent JF pilot has.

no cloak?

it's not a bad idea, the only reason to use it would be to jump into a safe spot, which will ultimately put a jump freighter in space and not on an undock, which can only be good for content

Because having a massive capital ship that can undock, jump light-years across the map, and dock again in about a minute isn't already pretty stealthy.

How did you Veterans start?

That's what I was expecting when I read the title.

Please don't kill the one advantage my blockade runner has over jump freighters. :(

What's a blockade runner? What's a blockade?

/sarcasm

Seriously, no-one even cared when I went along the heavily used trade routes. Frieghters got popped beside me, but I simply wasn't hauling enough stuff in my cheap industrial to make it worth their while.

Ofc, I did name it 'moving van' and fit it out with whatever guns I could stick on (which was one 150mm carbide, but that's a minor detail). I mean, who raids a moving van? Caravans? Sure. Moving vans? Nah.
