You seriously think that freighter ganking is balanced at this point with bumping as it is?

I just went to Zkill, I found a Charon freighter with three Caro expanders in Uedama with 12 Catalystrs on the kill and you seriously tell me that this needs to be nerfed, what to one catalyst? 12 Catalysts worth 11m each total value 132m, that lot could easily chase down a freighter trying to make a run for it along with a suicide blackbird to hold it. Seriously mate I have to laugh at you saying that it needs to be nerfed because it is too hard, define hard for me please it would be a good laugh...


And people wonder why I keep posting on this subject, I do it because it is comedy gold...


It is only as hard as the victim makes it.



That is not the question is it, the victim was in a triple cargo expanded Charon worth 10bn in total, the point was that it does not need bumping because 12 Catalysts is currently needed to kill a static bumped and setup max cargo and the weakest freighter, so how many to kill one actively trying to get away, with gate guns and people shooting near the gate, you know real interesting game play and not an easy plex machine for certain players. The tank can take 12 catalysts and it needs nerfing ROFL, as I said comedy gold, your attempt to divert is also comedy gold. Lol

EDIT: While I am posting I might as well go for it, I would just like to say well done to Test for putting up their Keepstar, great job guys! o7

You poor thing. So desperate are you to find supporting evidence that you find some numbers that actually support your narrative, then completely ignore the wider picture. Because you're so special, I'll break a few things down for you.

It took twelve pilots to down that single, unsupported freighter, not including the bumper ship(s) or loot ship or scout(s).

The pilot in question stuffed 10 billion ISK unwrapped in a triple antitanked freighter. It's like he wanted to be killed.

A freighter, sans ANY bonuses from skills and triple antitanked has approx 38,000 raw HP in its structure alone. The killmail only reports 38,000 damage. This means that this is a follow-up attempt after a failed gank. In fact, if you look at Salah ad-Din al-Jawahiri 's killboard, you'll see he did indeed lose a Talos a few minutes earlier in the same location but failed to land a kill for it. Can't speak for the rest of the gank fleet however, as they obviously don't share their kill info.

So much for that ISK ratio, huh?

Nothing to do with the ISK ratio and all to do with you saying it was too hard without bumping, you are telling me that 12 destroyers taking down a ship in 22 seconds is too hard if they have to do it without bumping.

I checked this fit and 182,580 EHP is what I get in that freighter, which can be taken down by 12 Catalyst if they overheat and if they get full damage, but the day before there was 12 SB's taking down a similar fit Charon in Uedama too. Did he lose a Talos then, lol.

I repeat the question so you can't evade it, if you think that taking down an easy to lock and shoot for high damage 182,580 EHP ship is too difficult without bumping then I really wonder about gankers abilities.

I did my own closed survey which I haven't shown anyone that contradicts this. Roll
Stats are mere numbers which you manipulate your own needs. They are only relevant if all measurement criteria and results are known to all.
I have gone from 5 accounts, soon to be none, well one alpha holding all my loot because sometimes you just want to relax and get away from all the ass hats in the game, and that is becoming more and more difficult. I don't judge though, CCP makes choices based on revenue, so I suspect my 5 subbed accounts are not as imporatant as the maybe 10 alpha greifers that now exists.
I know of many long time players stopping for the same reasons, EVE HAS CHANGED in the last year or 2. Only CCP can say if its for the better.


All the gankers quote that survey. What they ignore is it was only players who quit in first 14 days, hardly the targets a gankers goes for :)


1. It wasn't a survey.
2. The criterion for new players being ganked was ganked within the first 15 days, not people who played 14 days then quit.

Without bumping, they'd have to contend with sentry DPS. Catalysts don't fare too well under that kind of pressure. In addition, their proximity to gate would mean greater chance of opportunists interfering with the gank or loot. No matter which way you look at it, more firepower and more work would be required to land the profitable kill.

Amusing, I had a thread on the risk about ganking freighters. I asked for it to be closed when it was being side tracked into bumping and everyone pretty much agreed that if you are an idiot you deserve to be ganked. Dracvlad whined about that a bit, but then I opened up another thread to discuss alternatives to bumping that would still allow for freighter ganking at similar levels but where bumping could be removed. Neither Dracvlad nor any other anti-ganker showed up. Typical.

That was detailed to show the value, so you want to go oh dear Dracvlad is talking about ISK tanking, no I am not.

I repeat, the ship has 182,580 EHP which can be taken down at a pinch by 12 Catalyst in the perfect situation of a bump and 12 SB from the same type of kill the day before, are you seriously telling me that the tank needs a nerf if they have to chase it. Forget about Catalysts, think about the 12 SB's if that helps.

But now you are getting to it in terms of the gates and more engaging gameplay, the current game play is just too lame, even if it doubled to 24 Catalysts or lets say we used 6 Talos which doubled to 12, are you telling me that this needs nerfring if there was no bumping.

I focussed on the 182,580 hit pints on that fit based on 22 seconds before CONCORD which with 12 Catalyst came to 700 DPS which is overheating territory.

Anyway the key part is the 182,580 EHP, got that?

everything else pitters out until all that's left are the hulking remenants of decaying black holes, echoes of gargantuan Universe​ shaping collosus drifting in the void to the faint echo of drac and baltec arguing about freighter ehp.

Nope, I don't respect people calling for a debate to be shut down because people are exchanging views, you can go away and get a grip on whether it was a clever thing to call for a debate to be ended because some people who you don't like posted or it went in a direction you do not like.

Which requires 14 people working together. FOURTEEN: Twelve to gank, one to bump, one to loot, not including scouts.

This is the best possible case scenario in the current balance situation, 0.5 sec space, pre-pulled CONCORD, no gate guns, no interferance from other players, no attempt to escape/call for help by the freighter, a freighter which is as anti-tanked as possible.

Best case scenario.

And you want it nerfed.

Why, because this is going the same way as god knows how many other threads several of you turn into the same argument?

I don't like or dislike anyone on here tbh, some are blocked, yeah, but other than that I enjoy reading the different points of view.

Sadly those points of view end up with the same guys arguing over the exact same points.

So feel free to point out the other times I have done this, I'm presuming asking for threads to be closed because of you and your sparring partners?

I don't want anything nerfed, I am just asking you if you seriously want a tank of 182,580 EHP nerfed because bumping was removed, because it would be too hard? That is not hard for gankers, but you seem to think it is too difficult for them. I don't.

I made my case on bumping, I am not going back over that, but I am pointing out that this tank does not need nerfing, to be blunt more people will use this fit without bumping and we will see more dynamic gameplay. It is not too hard, but the player running the Kusions will have to do it with other players, which would be a good thing wouldn't it?
