Crime & Punishment

QFT

I never move my freighter anywhere without sending a scout out first. Never, ever, ever. I don't care if I'm moving through nothing but .9 and 1.0 systems: I always use a scout.

I also never take freighters to Jita. Ever. The routes are too well-known, and there are too many bottlenecks. If I need to run cargo into Jita, I either use a transport or just hire Red Frog to do it for me. (Frankly, I don't use Jita much these days. I'll go there for some rare stuff that's hard to find in the other hubs, but that's about it.)

Someone mentioned it upthread, but it bears repeating: if you're carrying high-value but low-volume cargo in a freighter, you're doing it wrong. (Like that Charon that got ganked carrying POS fuel and blueprints. There's just no excuse for that.) I use my freighter for one thing: moving minerals from my mining outpost to a trade hub. I never carry more freight than the freighter itself is worth -- that's just begging for a gank. I never carry courier packages in cargo -- it invites ganks because the griefers think you're trying to hide something expensive.

If you must carry high-volume, high-value cargo, use an Orca instead. They're almost as slow as freighters, but have much better protection and can hide your stuff from prying eyes if it's in the corporate hangar bay. Plus your stuff won't drop if your Orca does get ganked. Plus Orca's are cheaper than freighters, so if you do lose one, it doesn't hurt as much.

For most uses, an Orca is a much more flexible vessel than a freighter. It can do freight, but it can also do lots of other things (like moving fitted ships!).

OMG are you serious? I am sure you use your real life name in game? PLease also list your address SSN, ISP and credit card info if you would be so kind. I cant see anyone being this childish unless your trying to get the post lock????

By overstocking his freighter with goods, the freighter pilot took the risk in pursuit of a reward.
If this happened in lowsec, would you still be complaining?

The risk vs reward is fine here. You need single corp mate to be bump-proof (and it can be your alt).

The attackers has to be at least 2 persons with quite lot of accounts.

Maybe you should re-visit the multiple post where a DEV stated ganking in hi-sec was not meant to be profitable. Exploits and flawed mechanics should be addressed.

I just wish I had 30 bill of anything to lose.

Please do not equate real life issues to anything to do with this game. This is game based on reputation, posting on a one day alt and bashing a corp, crying about being ganked, has not one thing to do with real life!! If you are going to call people out, have the gnads to do it on an avatar you play, where you can get paid back in game. So I am serious, it is yellow and cowardly to cry on the forums with a toss away alt. :)

You have right to disagree, just like I have the right to call alt posting people cowards, after all they do it to avoid the backlash that comes from posting here with BS. :)


Have a nice Day.

And even blue wrecks! So use a ship you do not care about.

I laugh whenever i read this, sec status literally means nothing to a suicide ganker who is doing it right

Except the only way to do that would be to make sure nothing ever drops from a wreck. Why do you ask? Because there will always be an idiot carrying more than he should in value. You can carry billions worth of value in an ibis. Think about it. Are we supposed to make the caldari starter ship have enough tank to not be a worthwhile gank target because he can fill his cargo hold with T2 BPO?

The problem is not with the possibility of ganking. The problem is with the fact people carry to much around in single load.
