They need to undock and warp to the highsec gate.
When they start aligning to the gate, they can be bumped out of docking range and murdered.
Insta-undocks don't help them either, because it's easy to quickly probe out their landing point and jump on them while they're still aligning to the gate a few thousand clicks from the station. Why don't they light a cyno on top of the high sec gate, jump to cyno, jump to high.
Too much risking of bouncing off the gate on jump in. If that happens its basicly down to hoping you slow down enough to warp before you get probed and murdered Pirates - The Invisible Fist of Darwin

Wow, Nigra. You have done a lot of *stupid* stuff with that freighter and lived. I like the afk for an hour and still alive bit. I approve. Stupidity in eve generates content. Sometimes its just worth it to take stupid risks or play suboptimally if only to laugh about it later. Still amazed you've not lost a freighter despite all those circumstances.

lol, I do not really specialise in stoopid ... but it is also not a facility unknown to me.
Several years ago I also autpiloted thru a half dozen lowsec systems, but that was an indie hauler not a freighter ... and it was when a patch induced a glitch into the autopilot facility.
Overall I am pretty careful with a decent understanding of game dynamics. I suspect my TZ helped that not-docked freighter survive. It can be exceedingly quiet for me, especially midweek.
Anyways, if my stoopid things can help others avoid doing similar then I have probably helped a little and so can be happy. I guess I am almost a 'vet' by now. Hopefully not too bitter and managing to help more than I hinder. Our pirate epic arc completion packages really are very good: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=12973&find=unread |

Quick question:
Will it be safer to jump to a safespot in low instead of to a station? It seems unlikely you will get scanned down before you are able to align and warp to gate. Also; if you have web on your cyno ship, will you be able to use it after cyno is lit?
Thanks

No to the web on the cyno ship, and I think you might be forgetting that cyno's show up on the overview of everyone in local, so they don't need to scan you down, they can warp directly to you, and land pretty much right on top of you. Even if they couldn't, scanning down freighters is hilariously easy, and with how fast frigates warp now, they would have a point on you long before you finish aligning.
So no, a safe spot is not really a good idea. Tengu Grib > I agree. The distinct lack of quality spaceships makes RL the worst space sim ever. SolidX > i'm an alt IRL Guilty conscience? Buy a mining permit today. www.minerbumping.com |

To open a cyno on a system not completely empty has always some risk "If brute force does not solve your problem..... -áthen you are -ásurely not using enough!" |
