Imagine a world were people were constantly advised not to fly something they couldn't afford to lose.

And in that world people didn't **** and moan everytime they lost something they couldn't afford to replace.

CCP would probably buff and support high sec pvp instead of nerfing the **** out of it.


Really CCP, you sensor another way of saying peeing? In what frigging country is **** a bad word that people are too sensetive to read or hear?

It rymes with kiss if you really can't figure it out.

As the owner of several characters who all own freighters, I have been an active inter-hub trader (Jita is a regular stop for me) for over 2 years. I never been "ganked" a single time - in fact, I haven't even taken a shot of damage. A very small minority of people actually get ganked - I meet the perfect criteria for somebody who is going to get ganked, but I don't.

I agree with your sentiment above, though I'm not sure what corner of the world you are from where **** isn't considered a somewhat offensive term. Smile

A corpmate lost 3 freighters, he try scoot, alternative way, he pay goon 2B. nothing work. He lost around 20b,

In my case i lost 4b because of this gank.

All my corpmate farm in null sec is destroy in high sec when trying to sell it at jita. He just want to stop the game no plaisure to play with this mechanics.

What CCP is supposed to do with this ? CCP want to keep troublemaker player or serious player ?

also, you put 4bn isk of crap in a freighter, what did you expect to happen?

After 3 freighter and 20b lost pay 2 b to test if it's true was not a bad idea... now we know that's not working

You could always try not stuffing billions into the hold. Just a thought.

Actually just make it pup up everytime you undock with any hauling ship; with the option to disable it. It's not CCP's responcibility to fix stupid behavior.

Would you be willing to give me 200 million if i told you i could teach you how to fly with five times more safety than flying a freighter (and still be able to haul a lot of cargo)?!

To test it, maybe? I'm being honest, by the way.

If you're talking about the orca, don't worry, that's going away soon.

damm, 1 low slot for a DC II (damage control, freighters have a lot of structure)

It will make ganking a lot harder.

60 CPU and one low slot and one powergrid, CCP it is not much

This post sums up why the 'best' work with DCM inc.

really - add warping align time 300% on gun aggression and eve becomes great again

i don't know a freighter low would need either PG or CPU since cargohold expanders, inertia stabs and nanofiber all have zero fitting reqs


He wants a damage control- you know, for that 60% across the board to all resists.
(he should have said 30cpu though)

Can I have a popup every 5 seconds to remind me to keep breathing. I don't want to take responsibility for my own actions while playing this game and CCP should assist me.

Then they'd have to reduce their cargo capacity by 25%. Somehow, I don't think that'll go over well with the freighter pilots…

Soooo… that would be roughly 17bn in cargo spread over 3 freighters, meaning just under 6bn per load meaning 3–4bn over the safe transport limit meaning it was easily avoidable and he had it coming.

Why would they do anything with it? Why do you think those are separate categories of players?

Oh come on, as if anyone'd use that slot for anything as useless as a DCII. I mean, just like tanking mods are useless on mining barges since they "hurt their yield", a DCII on a freighter would be useless since it "hurts their cargospace".

I don't think babblefish would translate any foreign variation of an MMO activity as 'farm' and while your broken english could elicit sympathy it's a 50/50 possibility it's a troll.

50/50 am I being trolled by some all inclusive inside joke normal people will never understand or is it a legitimate problem?

If you did lose all this, my only question is, Why are you still here?

No.

A single low slot would put packaged carriers in High Sec. It needs to be a role bonus or a very expensive hardwire bonus that works off the Freighter skill.
