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.

Many of them did

Erm.. I have never been killed in my charon, I don't understand why individual pilots cannot follow some simple rules that kept me alive carrying expensive cargo:

• Never autopilot (yes it's boring, but I'd rather be bored than dead) warping gate to gate at your computer very much decreases your chances of being ganked. (personally I used to autopilot with an empty cargo, due to the fact it's not extremely profitable to destroy an empty freighter but some individuals don't even do that)


• If you suspect you have been scanned, dock or change route to avoid any 0.5 and 0.6 systems


• There are intelligence channels for certain areas of high security, especially in uedama and niarja, join them

I'm sure many others in this thread will have additions to this list including scouts, but I find just those three rules keeps most pilots alive for months at a time. I have never lost a freighter.

The solution to this is pretty simple. We need cloaky freighters. But dont make them suck and be like jfs which only have 1/3 the cargo of a normal freighter. Let them have at least 2/3 or so.

It's funny that most of the intelligent comments I have read on here are from the goons themselves.

Maybe we should just ban pvp in all of high sec, so that we could fix the issue for one group of players and mess everyone else's game up. I mean we did it with mining ships why not.

Seriously though, haulers need to learn better strategies instead of calling for some new patch.


However, I am prepared to offer protection for any freighters that require it for a small fee. You will put your freighter alts (mains for some of you....) into my corp. We will run freighters as groups with armed escorts. I have already setup 20 new accounts to multibox with and I have some friends ready to move their toons in as well.

1. Pay a one-time application fee of only 250m. Please send to corp or my ceo and mark "freighter service" so I do not accidentally double your isk on my character.

2. Monthly fee will be 100m.

3. We will coordinate runs as small groups of freighters with an armed escrort. If gankers show up, we will web your ship to allow a quick warp to a corp safespot, rep your freighter as needed with our guardians, and finish off the gankers with the main escort fleet. We will then continue on. We will have multiple safes in each system so you can quickly warp no matter how you get bumped.


***BONUS If your ship is lost in fleets....

1. We will buy you a new identical ship at no cost to you.

2. We wil reimburse you for any lost collateral up to 3 billion per haul. We must limit this amount to guard against fraud.

3. NO limit on reimbursements. You pay us to take on the risk for you. You will earn slightly less a month, but you won't have to worry anymore about losing a 1.5+b ship and its contents/collateral.


Wait, there's more!

If you cannot afford or otherwise do not wish to partake in monthly option, you may rent our services for 25m a day. You will still have to join our corp for that day and fly in our fleets, but you can use us off and on.


***SPECIAL BONUS

You may prepay in advance and save fees!

Options:

1. Bronze: Send 450m isk, which covers your application fee and 3 months of coverage. This saves you 100m isk over 3 months. (better deal)

2. Silver: Send 700m isk, which covers your application fee and 6 months of coverage. This saves you 150m isk over 6 months. (even better deal)

3. Gold: Send 1b isk, which covers your application fee and 12 months of coverage. This saves you 450m isk over 12 months. (most popular package)

4. Platinum: Send 2b isk, which covers your application fee and LIFETIME use of our services, which may save you billions, not to mention you stop losing any more isk ever again to gankers! (BEST deal)


Feel free to reach out to me with any questions you may have. I think I have covered all the bases here.

Please note that I am already getting lots of questions since I floated this idea elsewhere recently.

To ensure you reserve a spot before corp is filled, act now to secure your spot!


IRONCLAD GUARANTEE:

If for ANY reason you are unsatisfied with our service, you may demand a no-questions asked 100% full refund within 30 days. I am absolutely convinced you will love our service so much

Very short time: 40 seconds.

Whoopes.

I meant to say Freighter. I blame months of having this exact conversation with Miners.




I would make a slight alteration.

Goons start to ganking JF
When CCP fix this ****?

So how much chance for income is there when you gank only for lulz? Oh yea, right, cause when you are able to kill titan with a destroyer is all right :D (there is a meme for frig against titan somewhere :D or dev losses titan)

I was saying leave the safety (cant do anything that will get you shot or be able to shoot a pc) permanently on everywhere.
Thus nobody needs to worry about being shot.

Reasoned people recognize that it is in their interest to ensure the safe and expiated transfer of goods to market from which they make money.
The irrational man believes that he can do better by destroying the goods such that no one has them.

I will support freighter bumping and ganking if you give me some of the loot.
