... which is usually a sign like when everybody did Incursions or FW cycling and so on. If everybody is doing it and it was not quite intended that way, it will get nerfed soon.

In the last months Bat Country and some other high sec suicide gankers made a fortune ganking freighters in Niarja and Uedama. Now you see more and more other groups doing it also in other 0.5 systems after they found out, how easy it is.

I know, I upset Goons, when I argue their suicide gank freighter business is so easy, that everybody is imitating it. You do not want it too easy? Fix it. You want easy profit - dont fix it. You cant argue stupid ppl should learn. There will be always more stupid people in this world than smart people like in this game.

You do realise even if they quadrupled the EHP of freighter there would still be some profitable gank to do right?

Gonna need to increase it by more than 4x then.

How does ... 10x sound?

Let me add:

Ghost training - working as intended until everyone started doing i t = nerfbat
Nano HACs - working as intended until everyone started doing it = nerf-o-rama
Ganking miners - working as intended until everyone started doing it = nerfageddon
Incursion farming - working as intended until everyone started doing it = deep space nerf

I got it guise! We make everyone in the game not able to be destroyed!! Everywhere is safe!!

Then when you can engage in a "duel" where if your ship goes down to boom boom level it gets fully repaired and it says in local "So and so has won a duel against herp da derp!"

We can even have "battlegrounds" where you get a free supply of rifters to e-bushido it out against the other people.

Then we can have a "ladder system" and you can get "arena points" when you win or do real real swell.

Then the ebil goosn will get sick of the carebear land we have created and we can live free from the goosn!!

Free iskies for everywon and no-one ever has to lose a ship ever again to the ebil goosn!!

just a hint. I play this game long enough to know, when the nerf is coming. Usually I read a lot hatred and nerd rage by the iwin easy peeps, which will amuse me even more, when my prediction comes true.

Easiest & most likely 'Nerf' to ganking freighters.
A varient on the proposal to nerf freighters base carrying capacity & give them some fittings.
At which point McStupid will fit max Cargo & get ganked, while McSmart won't. Then you can really start to say who is stupid & who is smart.

OH GOD NOOOOOOO, stop nerfing us by flying nothing but 1 bil or empty flyings come on.

it is fine just dont fly freighters till after they buff them it is not that big of deal in a time sink you have nothing but time

I can't believe someone actually said an escort would stop a freighter gank. LMFAO

But indeed, with current HS mech little can be done to ganking party. Something gonna change in CW2.0 (recent trend doesn't make massive use of alpha ships, mind you), but then again, throw enough stuff on it, and it will go boom. We are not talking about escort being able to make hauler invulnerable.

Exactly this.

Freighters with a proper escort aren't getting ganked, and you shouldn't be flying around with a crapton worth of isk in a freighter with no escort.

And I don't see CCP nerfing this because people refuse to accept that EVE, in some situations, expects you to actually play with other people.


In fact, CCP needs to create a pop up for everytime someone puts an amount of items in any ship worth a lot of ISK that warns the person that their freight can make them a potential target to would be pirates. If it's items that CCP isn't able to estimate, the warning should just pop up as a default.

Actually just make it pup up everytime you undock with any hauling ship; with the option to disable it. It's not CCP's responcibility to fix stupid behavior.
