EVE General Discussion

Advanced industrial ships -> Transport -> Blockade Runners should be interdiction nullified.

Viator

Prorator

Why?

I think many players living in null sec are struggling with transporting their goods (small amount) around where needed.
For example:
1. I want to try out moon mining but transporting my POS into selected system without getting destroyed is air thin.
2. I want to fit my ship but i need some parts from 10 jumps away.... no i can't. Will get bubbled on half way.
3. I got some ore that i want to sell, need to transport it to high sec, or opposite.

There are many things that i can't do simply cuz of transportation issues. Now some people might say: Well u can ask your corp mate or pay someone to transport your stuff.
Asking my corp mate for small transportation like listed in examples is pain and will always take time to complete (maybe days).
Using freight corporations help will also take long time.
I can understand that bigger shipments should be done like they are right now, but there is really many small things that i want to transport myself right now! But i cant cuz most likely i get blown up.

So, simply i think: Doing small transportation for solo characters would be much more easier and personally i could spend more time in the game doing stuff that i want to do without bothering someone with transport contracts every time i need something small. +Blockade Runners would truly earn their name.

True! Cargo-scan immunity can go or be lifted to other class.

I have lost a few Viators in null after jumping gate and finding a Sabre and interceptor on the other side.

It sucks when it happens, but I don't personally agree with making blockade runners that much stronger.

Covert ops, interdiction nullified, small signature, good cargo, fast align - it would make them near impossible to catch.

There's a reason that an ECM burst is kind of standard to fit on a blockade runner and why MWD-Cloak trick is still a good skill to know when using one.

Better to have that content in the game in my opinion, than just give us all an insta-win transport ship.

I do understand all of u but to let u know: I also take part of gate camps, my favorite ship to fly is Sabre.
In my experience not many people fly around with blockade runners in null sec. And if they do, and get caught in gate camp then mostly 95% he fill get decloaked and popped.

(Lets leave out people with multiple characters who can scout few systems ahead) cuz not all of us want or can have multiple characters.

And again: My idea is not to make whole game safe by removing bubbles or nullify many ship types. I just want to make it easier for solo characters to transport their small stuff.

I still stick with my idea but also understand some of ur comments

Im thinking: Why interceptors, though?

With Nullified Blockade runner i can go and buy stuff for my Maelstrom and get blown up in that at least with little bit action.

You're not a solo character, you're in a nullsec alliance. Are you saying your alliance lacks the manpower to clear out a gatecamp?

Because they have neglectable cargoholds in comparison, and little to no tank.

CovOps Cloak, scan immunity plus ludicrousspeed.
I reckon that's enough for a "blockade runner". Wouldn't you ?
If they would be interdiction nullified why would I use something else to haul...anything ?
There would be no risk involved in flying them => a bad thing in EVE

Precisely why this is a bad idea.

This is not a thread arguing against Interceptors, it's one asking for Victorieux Luxury Yachts with industrial cargoholds.

They should also be perma-cloaked and have a BLOPS jumpdrive.
