So, give the freighter enough EHP to survive a high alpha, but give it little to no recharge. That way, moving a loaded freighter with a couple friend cross repping logi's can keep the freighter alive long enough for CONCORD response.
Wait... 30K EHP... never mind. That would be some alpha.
Seems to me we don't need to change the freighter. We need to change the mindset of the people flying them to have some friendly logi ships hanging around to rep them long enough for concord to arrive.
Or am I missing something? Are 30K alpha's common? Or would they just alpha the logi then take out the freighter?
We dont alpha freighters. They have more than enough EHP, people just need to stop putting 20 billion in the hold. |

A Tornado alphas about 10k when fit out for it, and costs about 1/14 the hull cost of a freighter (looking at the current market). Freighters as they are right now have about 150k-200k EHP. This means that it costs slightly over the cost of a Freighter to instantly alpha it using Tornados.
To counterbalance it and make the gank profitable, the freighter needs to drop more than the destroyed Tornados' worth of goods. Since stuff drops at a 50% rate, that means that, to be profitable to gank, it needs to be carrying mroe than 28 Tornados' worth of goods. Let's round it up and say 30 Tornados.
The price figure for a gank Tornado I used was 80 mil ISK. 30 x 80 mil = 2.4 billion ISK.
Freighter hauling is safe for carrying up to 2.4 billion ISK of goods at once. Any more, and you're taking a suicide gank risk (you're basically wearing a "kill me, please" sign). See how simple it is to figure out how to counter those meanie PvP pilots and not present them with good targets?
Lastly, no, logistics wouldn't help. The whole point of alpha is to eliminate any chance for a response, which includes CONCORD, the police, gate guns, friends, logis, or anything else.

I only hate those groups when the start to whine that 0.0 has it better than they do, and how we need to be nerfed.
Ive said it several times, if the opportunities of Sov 0.0 even MATCHED what empire had I would never go to high-sec again. Sadly I have to go to 4-4 several times per week to buy ships, mods, skill books, ammo, etc. because they cannot, due to game mechanics failures, be locally produced where I live.
Actually that is a lie, I would still go to high-sec, but I would go for entirely different reasons. I would just be less bitter about the constant flow of BAW coming from empire people.

White Quake wrote:Hello
As i have stated before i am not new to EvE but new to the forums. As a PvP pilot of nine years, i am find it highly disturbing the amount of hostility that PvP pilots direct at high sec PvE players, i do not use the term care-bear as it is derogatory towards other players who do not choose to game as i do. Below i am going to highlight issues i have with the current PvP pilot attitude towards PvE players.
1. We hate miners - The question is why? What is it they do other than play EvE online in a different way to you? The truth is, nothing, 0.0 alliances control the market, not empire corps, they never have. So why the hate towards miners?
2. We hate mission runners - The question is why? What is it they do other than play EvE online in a diffrent way to you? The truth is, nothing, The get enjoyment from buying expensive ships, running level 4's, watching there wealth go up and tricking out there ships much like i do for PvP. But, you don't like it? Seems a tad reprehensible to me.
3. We hate Incursions - The Question is why? What is it they do other than play EvE online in a diffrent way to you? The truth is, nothing, they love incursions, the love to make so much money, they don't know what to do with it, so what? How does this affect you? It doesn't, you just complain and get them nerfed to hell and back. Seems again, reprehensible.
4. We hate WH corps - The question is why? What is it they do other than play EvE online in a diffrent way to you? The truth is, nothing. You dislike they can hide in bubbles, make money and don't have to fight you, have cloaky ships (even tho you use these yourself). Again, reprehensible.
The bottom line is, PvP pilots dislike PvE pilots for one reason and one reason only, they choose to play EvE Online differently than you, for you to attack the PvE population verbally on the forums and to push your own agenda will not force them to PvP or force them into our play grounds. All you will force them to do is quit.
Also please don't rag in with *market pvp* because thats rubbish, the market is business. Not PvP. U cant swing it that way, so dont even try
I have been a pvp since 2 months after beta when i joined Curse Alliance and have been ever since, yes i have an ice miner (doesn't make me much isk) and yes i have a mission runner in a tengu (makes less isk than null ratting tbfh) so, in that regard.
You need to leave off because it is very sad and reprehensible that PvP pilots think you have god given right to tell other people how to play a game they pay for. You can sit and say Market PvP and Trade PvP and blah blah PvP but they don't see it like that and should not be forced to.
When a player "pays" to play EvE Online, they should not then be forced to play how a PvP pilot demands he does, it is beyond selfish.
WOWOHOHWOW OP you getting something extremly wrong here! We dont hate PVE guys, WE DO IT FOR THE TEARS |

Null sec is perfectly capable of producing ships and modules there's just no one around to do it on a large enough scale. I think the main problems are most null alliances don't have a decent sized indy wing and even if they did nullsec isn't indy friendly. Why you might ask?
Well PVPers seem to look upon carebears aka miners/builders with disdain. PVPers don't think indy types are l33t enough to be in 0.0 unless they PVP and have a good killboard. For most "hardcore" indy guys they like doing indy stuff and could care less about their KB or PVP. They like building and selling stuff for you guys to blow up and nothing is wrong with that.
I've found PVPers are also very impatient. Unless they are constantly shooting stuff they start to twitch and whine to anyone that will listen about not having any fun. Nullsec isn't very friendly when it comes to doing "solo" indy stuff like mining so indy guys might need help locking down a system for mining/ratting or keeping the BS rats from popping their exhumers in belts or scouting JF/freighters moving supplies. So would PVPers run security for 3-4 hrs to help the indy guys? Hell no because that's beneath their l33t PVP skills and won't get them any KM.
Now on to nullsec in general. Nullsec indy is hampered by afk cloakers disrupting mining ops since you never know when that cloaker will warp in and hotdrop 15 supers on your mining op and by roaming fleets of neuts/reds. Indy stuff also requires a pretty substantial infrastructure especially in nullsec due to the lack of stations with slots for building/copy/invention. Couple this with the long times for researching/copying/inventing off BPOs and it becomes impractical since you don't know if 30 days from now your alliance will even own the system. This means your brand new capital BPO could get blown up in a POS or locked in a station you can't enter. The only way around this is doing the bulk of indy stuff in highsec and shipping it to nullsec.
Another thing I have found is most PVPers have no clue how indy works nor the massive amount of materials just 1 toon can burn through each day. A big time industrialist is going to base himself where he will have ready access to all the needed supplies to keep his lines going 24/7. He's not going to relocate to some backwater nullsec system where basic stuff is hard to find.
So instead of PVPers blaming the highsec carebear as the cause for them not having any fun and nullsec being broken maybe they should instead try working with industrialists and give them a reason to move to null in the first place. Maybe instead of calling for nerfs to highsec they should be yelling to CCP to buff nullsec and make it more indy friendly. Believe me if nullsec indy wasn't a PITA then there would be tons of indy guys there. |

The grass is always greener I guess. What happened to Loquitor and the web app where you can just order, pay and it's all delivered to the station of your choice? That's what MOST of FA used to do....
Or you can "travel" (boing) to Jita for - what did you say - SEVERAL times a week.... Wo hoo. Me thinks that's a PLANNING problem not a "destroy highsec and make my life in 0.0 easier" decree.
Yet another CFC - "CCP nerf highsec because I am a [penny pincher] [lazy] [bad at planning] player" post.
Quote:they cannot, due to game mechanics failures, be locally produced where I live Lies. They can be produced. Apparently it's easier and cheaper to import - and yet, if they're not available then SOMEBODY is telling big fat boo-boos. Me thinx you guys need to get your stories straight.

I like the part where he claims to have played for 9 years as PVP pilot, but clearly doesn't understand core concepts of EVE Online or any mechanics at all - combat or industry related. Claiming the market and manufacturing scene isn't players competing with other players, saying you shouldn't be allowed to activate weapons in highsec, saying it should be more like WOW

No
In fact, PvP'ers need to interfere more with highsec.
Eve was never a game about collecitng the 'best armor' and waltzing around highsec showing off your epic lvl70 golem armor. Thats what WOW is for. Go collect things there.
Eve was built on RISK. on DANGER. EXCITEMENT. Why are you spending hours mining if you're not risking it? Simply to build up your 'best armor' and then what? sit in it? then what?
PvP'ers have spent too much time surrounding themselves with other PVP'ers and we've let highsec get out of control to the point they think they're entitled to be left alone in perfect safety. YOU PICKED THE WRONG GAME KID.
Do you see me creating a Hello Kitty Online account and raging that i cant PvP kill other players? NO! I didnt join HKO because im not interested in hugs and kisses games.
You should not have joined EVE if you dont like PVP. Its why eve exists. "War declarations are never officially considered griefing and are not a bannable offense, and it has been repeatedly stated by the developers that the possibility for non-consensual PvP is an intended feature." - CCP |

^^^ This, as far as I can tell from many random chats in local is understood and agreed to by just about all hi-sec folk.
Sometimes new players are a bit surprised by how quickly and easily they can be ganked, but they soon get over it and accept ganking as part of the game.
So long as a player accepts that undocking from a station is consenting to pvp, then any playstyle is equally valid so long as CCP are happy with it. This is not a signature. |

We dont have nearly enough slots in our stations for industry. I would be building stuff out there right now but its far far cheaper to build it all in empire and just ship it out. |

Please tell me more about your vast knowledge of nullsec logistics, and seeding markets.
You still have not addressed that lack of locally available low end minerals, and the repeated CCP attempts to nerf compression.
You have not addressed the fractional amounts of production slots in player built stations.
You have not addressed the AFK mining that occurs 23/7 in highsec with NO risk until nullsec entities started popping miners en masse.
You sit high and mighty in your little sphere of ignorance and shout down everyone, yet you cannot even address the counter point. How easy the straw man is to yell at, and avoid the issue entirely.
Poor planning and wanting it easy is a handy excuse I guess. I mean, it isn't like the CFC is at war or anything. We sure don't blow through millions of rounds of missiles and projectiles every week. We NEVER suffer losses, so no need to import maelstroms, huginns, scimitars, sabres, drakes, lachesis, claymores, and every other ship in the doctrines we fly. No need to ever fit the ships that have to be brought in either, no sir. Doctrine change requiring entirely new set of modules to fit? Whoops, guess we need MORE modules too.
I guess my point is that you can cry and moan all you want about how the other peoples have things easier than you do, but it is just an opinion. Unless you can back it up with facts or data, you are just a sperging highsec whinge-tard. o7 thread. |

So long as they recognise that often it's the PvE players wanted to nerf PvP to keep them safe.

He fully accepted and understood that. Lost a cheap ship, gained much more experience.
That's what happened to me when I started almost 5 years ago, I was flying a Rifter in low sec and went to a belt because that's where people siad you can sometimes find fights, and a Brutix landed on me, webbed/scrammed me and killed me then gave me some isk and traded me my "loot" in station.
I never asked him why he did it. I knew why he did it, because like him I had downloaded a video game where most of the spaceships have GUNs on them and it was pretty easy to tell before installing what the focus of the game was lol.
Well it was easy to figure out for me anyways, according to these forums a few people are still struggling with the concept..... |
