The standing change is unnecessary. It will work just fine without it. Insurance change will make sure that gankbears actually have to scan and pick targets (wow now there is some real risk and hard work, I hope they will be able to cope with it).
And lastly NPC corp nerf is long overdue. There is a bunch of people hiding there that need to get out in to the player corps where they are targetable (and fix war decc/corp jump timers while you are at it).
PS: To all the whiners in here this change will only affect mission ships with faction gear (plex gear is still worth enough that it's worth ganking the mission runner) and freighters. Main change here is that freighters will actually be usable for transporting larger amounts of cargo now. Before it had to be almost empty to prevent break even and with the torp raven being esentially free...

I take issue with this, if people mine in weak barges without being aligned and without being at their keyboard paying attention, then why should they have automatic protection? If people are stupid enough to haul valuable cargo afk in unsuitable craft then again why should they get automatic protection?
This nerf to sui ganks will benefit alliance alts and semi afk second account cash cows, not to mention macro miners. As usual CCP bows to whining carebears, when the game is perfect for these hanky wavers then all the real people will leave and you can have mining tournaments 24/7. That time is getting near.
Might I suggest trying to use the mentioned mining barge or a freighter before whining here? You can not mine while aligned and at speed. It takes about 10+ seconds for a hulk to get up to warp speed. If the suicide ganker hasn't killed you in that time (or at least scrambled) he is such a morone that it's incredible that he is still alive as breathing takes more brain power than that.
Other problem is freighters who are easily ganked (escort can't do shit about it as DPS is huge, logistics can't do anything either as it's shield and armour buffers are so low). Worst of all it's stupidly cheap to gank them making the whole ship class glorified t1 hauler as even filled with trit it's profitable to gank. And with todays free torp ravens no matter what crap is in the freighter you are still making money and ruining someones day without them having any viable option to defend them selves.

Originally by: CliveMerric i feel hurt, i believe that eve is a 'cold dark place' that should be fundamentally unsafe. And as it now stands there are numerous counters to ganking, like not using ap with expensive cargoes or just paying attention. Ive never ganked but i strongly oppose this MASSIVE change in gameplay. Please do not make high sec into totally safe space
CCP please oh please when you want to change something MAJOR please change 1 thing at a time not 4 and hope the place dosent go to hell.
How about you try and play the other side before all the whine? Manualy flying the freighter doesn't help against the suicide ganks. Nor do almost free torp ravens. Hulks are also easy target as they can not perform their function without exposing them selves to any ganker with half a brain cell.
I know it's nice to have an ISK button that is almost as risk free as trading but that doesn't make it balanced. At least traders have to suffer the isk wars.
But don't let reality interupt your whine.
PS: I've never thought I would agree with a member of DOOM but tears are real tasty in here (almost as good as the EPIC nano whine).
