Well, you're right about your first 6 words of that sentence, anyway.

People pop shuttles by the buttload every day. Mostly because some people give the incredibly bad advice to run blueprints in them, so for the tiny amount of firepower it takes to pop them, it might pay off huge.

And you're right about 0 of yours.

Shuttles align in under 2 seconds. Combined with instadock BM they cannot be killed. Only a smartbomb in the right spot can do it; something that borderline never happens in high-sec.

This is why there are not many shuttle kills with massive ISK amounts inside, not compared to T1 industrial let's say.

Yes, done properly a double webbing frig will cause warp the instant the webs hit. There is still an element of luck how far you are from your escort when you gate into system, but more escorts greatly diminishes the chance of a highly unfavorable gate-in. Holding gate cloak on the freighter and moving the webber into position works as well.


Buy a Rapier - add faction webs. Moving around becomes nearly unnecessary.

De'Veldrin's Corollary (to Malcanis' Law): Any idea that seeks to limit the ability of a large nullsec bloc to do something in the name of allowing more small groups into sov null will inevitably make it that much harder for small groups to enter sov null.

It was one jump? How did you play long enough to fly a freighter and have 25b without learning any scouting?

Enough people have covered carrying 25b in a freighter already. You got tired and made a poor decision/risky move for convenience and got nailed. You tried to ignore the law of don't undock what you can't afford to lose and got a reminder. Bumping or no it's not CCP's fault. Take responsibility.

Obviously, OP put too many eggs in one basket and freighter bumping/ganking is perfectly legal. However, I tend to think that at some point, an hour, 3 hours, I don't know how long, but at some point this becomes harassment. If I have to stay logged on an extra 4 hours because of a noob ship bumping me, that's just ridiculous.


Engagements lasting several hours is not something extraordinary in EVE. I think this falls nicely into that category.


To be fair its not an engagement. If it were concord would attack a bumper.
