The problem here is it's way too easy, and too cheap, to get hugely profitable kills.

It's risk vs reward, the risk isn't much, it's known to and accepted by the ganker long before weapon is fired. A simple solution would be to increase freighter HP by 300%. 100k EHP isn't very much for what is supposed to be EVE's largest freight vessel.

Do all Goons lie on the forums all of the time? Rarely is there such a kill, and when it is, it's usually from bpcs giving an incorrect amount in the kill mail. The majority of the freighters are carrying just a few billion at the most, and many have far less. Some have just plastic wrap.

If CCP wants to nerf suicide gankers they could make these 2 rules:

1) If while under CONCORD aggression you kill a ship, you pay the insurance payout for that ship.

2) If your wallet is negative, you may not board any ship bigger than a shuttle. (Lore: Ship crews are paid from the interest earned from the total of all ISK in all wallets. If yours is negative, you are not contributing to the crew wage pool, so you are not allowed to use a crewed ship.)

Suicide ganking would still be possible. Profitable? Not as much. They would just have to be even more selective.

The payout is higher than the market price + insurance cost?

First off don't believe a word a cfc or hbc ever says. They are scammers, liars, and all around all star idiots. They are what is wrong with EVE. Now I know how i would handle this. Go gank them. If they are in tier 3 bc you can instant pop them if you have the skills. If not hire some mercs to clear the system. And you can sit back and watch the fireworks if you prefer.

I don't think anyone here has actually played WoW.

Yes, use rapier to insta warp freighters.

No, goons don't recruit adults.

No, goons aren't "good" at pvp.

Yes, goons have a few think tank corps that come up with clever ways to make isk.

No, nothing interesting happens in nullsec.

The no risk part too please.

Sure they are, but that's all upside after fixed costs. It's completely possible to lose all your iskies suicide ganking, but you'd have to do it on purpose.

Yes.

I didn't say it was risk elimination (this is for Tippia as well), it's mitigation. Control if you will.

It's analogous to going to Vegas knowing exactly how much you'll spend. You've decided to spend X, but if you hit the jackpot you'll spend less and may make money.

It's all upside. There's no occasion where you can lose more than you intend.

Could it be done with lets say a Naga instead of a Talos for someone trained in caldari racial ship or is the talos used because it's THAT much better?
