But if they cant see whats in ur cargo hold, or even access the cans if they blow you up. Less chance of being gank0red.

Im sorry dude, but freighter pilots need to be more carefull. Niarja is well known gank heaven. I never transport more than 1-2B in freighter (at least not through Niarja and peak times).

Crap, i didn't know that.
Niarja ... here i come ! :D

Secure cans aren't secure unless they're both anchored and passworded, if they drop from cargo they are neither and anybody can open them and claim the contents. I believe, but can't be sure (someone please confirm or laugh at my ignorance Lol), that the contents also show up on a shipscan even if it is in a container unless it's a courier contract.

just few minutes ago... Goons has destroyed 4 freighters in high sec (u can check eve-kill.net), total drop worth 21.5 billion isk!!!

21.5 Billion isk people!!!!

that beats 10/10 DED, FW Missions and incursions all together!!

if u want all alliances to leave their 0.0 systems and just go fun terrorizing high sec and earn money for that... stay cool about it CCP... as it will destroy the game

u gave protection for miners... its time for freighters/ JF revamp...


Agreed. Let's reduce the cargo bay of freighters and JFs to the point where it's impossible for them to carry enough cargo to make them worth ganking.

When you can afford to move 20bil in a freighter you should be able to escort it by a few logistics cruiser and suicide ganking is history. Remember the times where freighter had to be escorted through null-sec by a 50 men fleet? Epic times.

Here's a better idea.

Instead of demanding CCP to make it easier for you, stop making yourselves profitable targets. Suicide ganking happens because the victim makes it profitable. By the way, miners are still being ganked.

You guys are insane to think that hauler buffs aren't on CCP's short-list. The only reason we didn't get them now is because they're afraid to cross the red line by moving too fast. You really think that after everything that's happened in the past couple of years, we won't see Skiffed-out Iteron threes autopiloting through Sivala before the 2013 winter holidays?

Please.

You would be better off using the extra pilots for hauling instead.
Split the cargo between several ships to reduce the risk if getting suicide ganked.

Tinfoil hat firmly in place.

I'm sure those freighters belonged to one of the Goons uberloften eucher directors and another director decided he had a plan to make tons of isk by changing the market value on faction warfare items destroyed in the freighter and.. no wait.. this is a plot to raise the price of freighters and tritanium reinforced metal plates.

Suicide ganking is mostly about alpha strike so logitics are of limited help, and easily countered by the gankers piling ecm in thier spare sots.

Far better idea would just be to split the cargo up and send it in different freighters thus making no one freighter worth ganking. But that is too obvious.

Funny I thought Lord Zim said the only Goons in High sec were moth breathers and subsequently war decs would not effect them.


Hmm

Any spelling, grammatical and punctuation errors are because frankly, I don't care!!

The 6ish billion isk drops were nice though.

lol@ derpsec, let's hope they never make hisec safer than it already is. Situational awareness FTW


They weren't all slacking. This dude brought enough exotic dancers to the party for everybody.

If Crimewatch goes through as planned that hope will be in vain. CW will effectively shard the server into non- and pvp zones.
