This is a dumb change. Blockade runners aren't typically scanned anyway, and they insta-cloak after they jump.

A *MUCH* better ship to give this functionality to is a DST. They already get a lot of tank and warp strength. Giving them scan immunity (since they are decloaked haulers anyway) makes the most sense here, honestly.

Yeah, but since you're too slow anyway, might as well make the ship with 100k+ hp unscannable to make it somewhat usable. I'd rather be slow and tanky and unscannable vs slow and tanky and give the gatecampers time to scan me and meet me at the next system with their suicide gank.

If you weren't doing this before, you're doing it wrong.

As I pointed out, tanked DSTs aren't targets for casual ganks. Your tank is at a level where the invulnerability to scans simply precludes lolganks. Sure, you'll have those who decide to autopilot expanded and cargo rigged DSTs full of PLEX but such stupidity will always happen.

I don't care about the whole scanning bypass that it was, I care about organization.

Can you bring back the tabs somehow.

Maybe by assigning things put in different tabs a sort of tag. Then when you select a tab, it just "searches" for stuff with that tab's tag?

inb4 someone jettisons a full freighter of shuttles on Jita 4-4 and nukes the node

If you jettison shuttles they'll just be stacked in a jettison can. The'll have to jettison cans... and by the looks of it freight uncompressed cans. So about 900 cans in a go. Still... don't want to push through 900 cans at Jita 4-4 undock. A Deep Space Transport can do 300 small secure cans in a go though... so since that isn't happening maybe we'll be OK with the freighter thing.

---edit---(double post)

Fix your blasted forums will you? (instead of the fleet hanger) Took me 7 tries to actually post that...

Agree - makes a good case.

The bigger slower t2 hauler (DST) is useless right now. Make it unscannable and you throw in a really cool variable to high-sec ganking - "is it empty, is it full of plex?" Risk for reward!

People won't just gank a DST, they'll have to get organized to do it with costly ships - unlike a BR on AutoPilot for home which can be popped by small throwaways.

I'm fine with the orca and freighter changes. Orca will be fine due to its fitting flexibility and a super tanked orca is as safe as one can get in highsec. The freighter should have had these changes long ago.

As for blockade runners and deep space transports:

Blockade Runners are already _the transport ship_ for anything outside of highsec. I'm not sure there is any reason to buff them any further. The unscannable feature also isn't going to have any impact as a properly flown BR won't show up on overview for more than a second. No good viator pilot lets their ship stay still long enough to be scanned.

Deep Space Transports need some love. They are modestly usable in wormholes and highsec, given their +2 warp stab + tank.....makes grabbing PI from planets safer or hauling goods to highsec a little safer than in an iteron, but most pilots just wont fly them due to their high mass which results in massive delay in getting them into warp. If that mass is going to stay as is, than their cargo hold or tank should probably be increased...at least so that they are modestly better than an itty5. Either have max cargo hold be 50K or increase the max tank to at least half an orca's.

blockaide runners...... ? so can we all look forward to much larger cargo bays in the runners?
the orca secure hauling may have been big (though the size to me is not the unnecessary part - the size is important for large mining ops) but the blockaide runner cargo size is unnecessarily tiny..


CCP, you are not going to make me hate you again for making my orca not work in my mining ops are you?

combat losses are not an "isk sink"
