But in the near future, certian people in certain alliances may find it impossible to take a jump freighter anywhere thanks to the 20% payout a bounty on their corp/alliance would give them (that's close to 2 billion isk in an empty JF).

That's what out of corp alts are for.

(Although I could imagine someone being crazy enough to put billions in bounties on anyone they see flying a jumptruck just to "burn" the character...)

you mean like goons putting it on all known jf alts of other null sec alliances they're at war with?

It's not unthinkable.

Or perhaps, freight companies putting bounties on each other('s NPC alts) to take the competition out of business.

I hear contrary things like you can carry up to 5 billion safely. Or anything 1 Billion or above is automatic gank.


People just simply gank freighters for the lulz, especially if its a JF?

What is the safest amount to haul before you should stop, to the point you're not worth ganking for profit?

Zero.

When you log into EVE, you should never assume that you are safe from the actions of other players.

This is the way the sandbox works.

If you read that article about goons ganking freighters, they stated they were targeting loads starting at 7bil in value.

do you have a link to this article? please.

Double-wrap regardless of what you're hauling, encourage other freighter pilots to do the same?

If I am scanning, and see a plastic wrap on my scan result.. I will shoot.
You took the time to double wrap it ? Must be important and juicy.
I like juicy.

(sure sometimes there wont be juicy inside.. but more times there is LOTS of it inside)
