and that thinking is why we have contract jobs that put food on the table for people like my alt xD

I might take you up on that next time!

Usually, I AKF the trip to the cargo then fly it back myself.
I've been ganked before in high sec, but never when I was not afk.

The current status?

We're in the miner killin' business, and cousin, business is a-boomin'!

How is it this thread is on page two and no one has given the best advice yet?


GET A PERMIT AND FLY COMPLIANT.

Looked up your loss.

You had four modules that reduced your hull by 23% each.
You had three rigs that reduced your armour by 5-10% each (skills dependent).

The feeble resistance mods you had fitted were T1 and meta.

[EDIT] And you didn't need two of those Expanded Cargoholds. It would have fit with two, made you faster and stronger while doing so.

[EDIT] Looked up the killer's loss. His ship cost $20M ISK. Loot drops 50% of the time, he was expecting to make $55M (half your worth, minus his loss) profit off shooting you.

This thread isn't about freighters. Please keep your tears in the appropriate threads.

Considering that most industrial ships have weak tanks there is not a lot you can do, now you can tank without killing too much of your agility.

In your rigs, you want medium transverse bulkhead, these decreases you overall cargo but increase you HP in your hull which is where the most HP already is and you greatest EHP when a damage control unit is in low.

In you mids you want some nice passive resistance mods (shield extenders provide HP but increase signature), making it easier for more hits to get you.

In lows, this is the tricky part, agility or warp core stabilizers, agility helps you be a harder to catch prey while warp core stabilizers will help you flee when tackled, this is situational, if hauling low value products fit for agility because you are less likely to be a (I stress this lightly), a prime target, for more valuable cargo warp core stabilizers will help you flee. When someone points you.

Remember you have got to make it "less" profitable for them to want to kill you so in any one T-1 hauler try not to carry more then 30 million in cargo (even that is a bit much IMO), but let say you have 50% of your cargo drop this means they get about 15 million, a good gank fit is about 10 million, so depending on the security space your in and how fast Concord Will respond X the amount of ships they have to use to drop you quickly enough, in 0.5 probably no fit will be enough because even 1 destroyer can hit pretty hard and have enough time to pop you.

In this case, wait out your timer, anybody with a -10 sec status cannot stay too long on a gate before being attacked, so say you jump you see a red, wait, do not decloak, you may get lucky and this may happen...

1. They warp off.

2. Another player attacks them, the police attack them.

3. Another unfortunate soul moved and gets pointed by them, in which case GTFO.

There is no guarantee for industrial ships, they are too weak, but a combination of a "good" fit and strategies will help you be a less promising target.


EDIT: also be aware that goonswarm has lost their home lands, which for us regular folks means there are more folk who love to gank in high sec now, think of burn Jita, and other events held by them, they are not as dead as folks think, they are very much active still, so ganks will probably see an increase as they rebuild and rearm, only a matter of time, folks like that bore too easily.

You've got to admit there's something about large phallic ship repeadetly running into another.

Missed this earlier, this is also bad info. Under the circumstances OP is talking about gankers will be fit with long range guns and/or sentry drones, not blasters as you will be sitting on the gate waiting for them to decloak and pop them while they are aligning. A hurricane or nado is just as likely to pop you under these circumstances so only fitting for kin/therm isn't necessarily the best idea, but as it comes down to probabilities, it's not necessarily bad advice either.

Agree with the Fluffer.

Used to be a performance art group run by Jimmy513 sumthin. He recruited all the fish John West rejected n was making dank iskies 12mnths ago.

His pets made nuthen whilst he raked it in, all power to his Ponzi scheme. Now ganking freighters is all too hard for those 5cents short of a $, n the window lickers have moved on to slow moving miners.

Stats don't lie, look at Jimmy's figures 12 mnths ago compared to now. Sorry to read the last rites but (, sorry forgot their name already, ) Jimmy's jokers have lost.

I'm pretty sure that your bookmarks are doing absolutely nothing to speed up your warp. They're just slowing down your trips and increasing your risk.

As, I understand it, when your ship is at a standstill it can warp in any direction in the exact same amount of time, no matter which direction it appears to be "pointing."
