im not even a freighter pilot myself but have been following ganking situation long enough to see what are flaws in system in my opinion.

that is plain stupidity and im not against suicideganking BUT i would like to see it require more effort that about 10 bc or so. thus asking a HP buff so that people need to bring some real numbers like maybe 40-50 ships to kill that huge juicy pinata.

More people should try it out to be honest.

why? why it would require nerfing cargobay? this ship is massive unarmed freighter if caught out of hisec it is sure to die even to one ship eventually. in hisec it could with extra HP fend off smaller groups of suicidegankers and only really devoted bigger gangs would bring it down. it would also drop willingnes to gank freighters that do not have hugely expensive cargo..

******* bolt it around the ship duh

i think Op said , that now with the new tier 3 BC is too more simple to kill an freighter than 1 year ago in the same conditions ..
before the Tier3 killiing a pinata was hard and required people .. now just need a liitle bunch of Skilled Tier 3 pilots and BOOM

so maybe a rebalancinbg due to the Tier3 BC ?? like CCp did for the Mining barges .......

in this case Why did CCP improves tank of mining barges ? ( the Moto of adapt or die does't apply to miners ? ......

Here come all the trolls defending their low life style. Also the experts in game play with their nearly flawless play style. People don't want to admit something is inherently flawed.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo....

Please spell lose as lose and not loose which is describing my sister...

once more. freighter suiciding: its just too easy and can be done with just few people. otherwise suicideganking is just fine and belongs truly in this game full of evil. just give buff to freighter hulls so it requires more people and more firepower to achieve bringing one down in hisec.

Please re-read your response there...seriously, are freighter pilots supposed to take a loss every time they undock? I mean, you're right in one respect, that there are built-in ways to avoid a gank (NO AUTOPILOT!), but don't you think telling them to lose ISK in order to avoid a ganking is a little unreasonable? Personally, I think freighters should have a longer cloak timer, or be covered for part of the time it takes them to align, just so they aren't QUITE so much of a sitting duck.

As for your suggestion of altering routes - that only works so far. Be honest, now, how many freighters have you guys ganked were ones you scouted on previous days, recorded their route, and set up an ambush specifically for them? How many were targets of opportunity along highsec choke points that dip into lower security ratings (Niarja, to name one) that you caught while they tried to align for the next gate? No judgement, honestly curious. If the former, then more power to you, and the freighter pilots need to HTFU. If the latter, maybe there is some merit to the complaint, eh?
