Dearest Tom,

Thank you for going down in flames and not keeping this all bottled up inside.

Bye.

CCP you want this kind of "pvp"....if yes, you will lost all old players
which gave your game the chance to grow 10 years ago!


I play now over 8 years Eve....but now its over for me....

and all other players who want to tell me: "why you re so dump and fly in highsec with your Jumpfreighter"

It was not my, it was only a good friend in my corporation....the second one in the last 2 month....

we will quit now....


THANKYOU CCP
Regards
Tom



I am not sure anything can be done in the way you want it to be, I am sure your first choice would be more EHP but what would that change beyond requiring more alpha, back to square one.

The simple solution is not to fly blind, you cant really miss a great big group of gankers in a system tbh.

So 11 BCs to gank a jump freighter. I'm guessing that is probably about 600mil vs an almost 9 billion loss. You could have scouted the system though before jumping in, so in a way it is your fault. 11 Goonswarm Bruix's should be enough for anyone to do a double take and hold position until they have gone. It's harsh, but you could have prevented it OP. And don't fly what you can't afford to lose. For an older player you should have known this.

Actually it's about time Jump Freighters had 8 low slots.

..regular freighters some low slots.

It would enhance the challenge in dropping one... that is, unless gankers of this nature like easy kills... in which case i'm flogging a dead horse.

OP : Dont fly what you cant afford to lose.. I have one, i dont use it cos I dont want to lose it. Problem solved. Blink

Pretty sure gankers like easy kills. That's kind of like the whole point. Ganking is not supposed to be a challenge. Not all PvP is a peen-waving contest. Sometimes people just want to watch ships blow up, and that's fine.

@ original poster:

I've flown 1.2b worth of cargo in a Badger II before (not something I make a habit of!!!)

Your friend was not playing smart and left themselves wide open to the attack simply because they thought they were safe in high sec. Eve is not a safe place. If your friend did not know that, then they know it now. Either they can learn and adapt to this environment, or they can unsub.

Jump freighters have crazy EHP with the relevant skills maxed, like 450,000 or something. That's a LOT of nados.

Just train the skill properly and dont fly with JF1 and no tank skills at all.

All V Anshar (highest EHP) has 363k.

Even with HG Slaves and Akemon it only gets to 414k.

With perfect Legion Links it reaches 514k.

A bit off aren't you? Especially considering that only the purest JF Pilots probably have Jump Freighters to V since it "only" gives you some EHP and less fuel usage as a 50+ day train (with perc/wp mapping).
