The normal risk vs reward calculations don't really apply to goons.
The entirety of Goonswarm was founded on the principle of having fun by ruining the enjoyment of others. They have close to limitless resources and see Eve Online as an interesting distraction from their normal activities on SomethingAwful.com. The only currency they are interested in are tears and they will happily blow a billion isk to get them. If you struggle to understand this mentaility then you will likely never understand goonswarm.
The very worst thing you can do when a goon starts griefing you is respond because they will just target you more. By forum posting I fear you may have put yourself on their permanent "watchlist". |

Ignore their convos and what ever you do DON'T pay them 50mil to let you go for **** sake! DO you seriously think they will? You just make yourself look like a chump which will make it even worse.
Nobody will gank you if you are carrying less than 200mil, they claim they do it for the grief but they don't. Its for the ISK.
Just stop talking to them, don;t accept any convos, dont pay any isk and don't accept any duels for goodness sake!

Welcome to Eve!
If you really think you are trapped, perhaps Eve is not the game for you.
The gank threshold is actually around 500M for a freighter. That said, some people will gank your freighter just to gank your freighter. I would not be surprised if a couple people run locator agents on you for the next two weeks just to randomly gank you.
If somebody wants to gank you they will. My advice is to insure your ship, don't carry more than 500M in cargo and just relax about it all. |

BULLSHIT, here I dont even carry cargo worth 50m, (probably around 39m), and yet they want to suicide kill me. And yes I've read all those thread about suicide ganking at Uedama by Goons, I have to pass this system or I have to take another route which takes me 45 Jump to my destination. I dont want to do 45 Jump with this snail freighter. Then I arrived on stargate at Uedama. A girl approached me and she said she want to play with my big boy. She then shaked my big boy, bumping it preventing it from warping out. Extorts to pay her 50millions or her fleet will come and squash my big boy. Just the heck I don't have that much money, I just bought this thing for one and half billion. If she just let me pass to my destination and get my things then I might have that money. There's also other guy beside me riding a Propechy, asking he's going to help me by webbing it for insta warp, to do so he sent me a duel challenge so he dont get popped by concord. Since I never used and dont know this duel ****, I declined, and logged off asap before one of alt in ibis put aggro timer on me for 15 mins and I'll be a dead meat. I came back with my alt, and look around again, there's also another unfortunate guy getting his big boy shaked by her, a few secs later a group of brutix and talos (around 10 of them) appeared and surrounded him. All of them are goons http://hfimage.net/images/u6j4a2j8u45qp19jer7p.jpgWew I'm amazed at this guy that has 5 alt accounts lol, I dont really know what happened, that obelisk suddenly gone from the map and these brutix-talos warped out. My freighter now trapped in here . Now what should I do? Get someone help escorting/webbing my big boy. Pay her 50m or what? I don't have that much money atm. Help!!!!

True, but then they could have easily ganked (or got a logoff timer on) him before the safe logoff timer finished. This is EVE - Everybody Versus Everybody.

First of all I would like to offer you my sincerest apologies for what has happened to you, it saddens me that our members will stoop so low. I would like to take this opportunity to offer you an immunity pass. This pass will have you set to positive standings, which will allow you to travel through highsec unmolested. We usually charge 1 billion isk for such a pass, but as you seem like a good person, I am offering you a pass for half of that. This pass will also be valid for your entire EVE career as opposed to the 12 month pass we generally issue. I look forward to hearing from you.
Should you decide to take this offer please contact me in RL. I have a great investment opportunity for a little bridge in Brooklyn that you can collect tolls (or in case of eve TROLLS) and make your money back in no time. Believable?? I didnGÇÖt think so.
You hear a lot about rule number 1 donGÇÖt fly what you canGÇÖt blaaah blaaah. The number 1 rule in eve should always be first and foremost NEVER EVER trust a goon. NEVER
There are two ways to tell if a goon is lying. OneGǪ. their lips are moving and you hear them on comms. TwoGǪ.. you see that they have typed something in written form.
Congrats on being hesitant to accept a duel. This allows them to kill you without getting killed by concord. The mechanic they reference is accurate but have someone you trust doing it.
I hope you are able to make it thru if your still alive. Good luck.

Honestly I've autopilot end my freighter through there many times over the last year and never even had an issue.
That , got ''randsomed '' 4 times now and told them to stop being little girls and just blow my ship up allready.
None of the times did i get a shot fired on me , at most scrambled for a short time.
Don't carry anything over 1.5 B in your cargohold and allways be prepared to loose your ship.If they convo you and ask for money tell them to stfu and shove it where the sun don't shine.Worst case they'll kill you but that would also happen if you pay them any amount of isk so might as well ''share your feelings'' before you get blown up.
We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid.

Easiest thing you can do is skill up. Most freighter alts have bad navigation skills making thjeir freighters exceptionally slow on the helm. Skill yourself up and it will make it harder for them to keep you bumped.
Also, do not forget your hull tanking, shield tanking and armor tanking skills. And skill hardwires for even more buffer. So if it does come to gank time, it is more difficult and expensive for the gankers.
If they want to pop you in a freighter they can. But you don't have to make it easy.

You should pay them the ransom. Don't lie and say you can't afford 50m while flying around in stuff that has a total worth of like a billion |

A while ago it was petitionable for harrassment if you got bumped repeatedly in a big ship as it constitutes griefing. I believe the logic was that you cannot do anything against it except paying, and that just opens you up for the next bumper "totally unrelated to the first one".
Policy might have changed, but it cannot hurt to try.
Besides, good choice on not accepting the duel. |

NEVER FLY A SHIP YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO LOSE. If you don't even have 50 mill on hand after buying a freighter, you are doing something wrong.
What I'm looking for is not another preach, I need solutions on what should I do now. I know there's something wrong with me, But I'm getting tired transporting these things with Mammoth that takes dozen rounds. I have more than 50m, but that's not in the shape of ISK, awaiting to be sold. If they didn't blow-up your ship after you logged off, it should of warped away at the end of the log-off timer. Log back in when you think they are not there to prey on you again and fly your freighter away. Is it better to pay them off given if you have the money?
You seem like a reasonable person I could be persuaded to help you get through the system for a price. This post was loving crafted by a member of the Official GoonWaffe recruitment team. |

It never was, unless it's someone just bumping for a long period of time for literally no reason. Killing ships has been an exception to this rule for probably around 10 years.
