Go back to WoW lost the touch? We need to abuse Hello Kitty now?

It isn't about EHP. It's about bump mechanics. Speaking of Hello Kittie, not like Bumping someone to death isn't as fruity as it gets.

So, what, you want bumping to be removed from the game too, now?

My objection to hi sec freighter ganking is that it cannot be defended against.

Scout ahead? Scout for what exactly? The gankers don't sit in the system, they warp in after the freighter has been bumped to stop it aligning. That's just stupid game mechanics, like knocking a jumbo jet off course by flying a cessna close to it.

Don't carry any cargo worth more than a half a billion? Even if that supposedly helps it renders frieghters totally useless as a ship class. Is that by design? I don't think so.

I've lost a freighter to this exploit, and yes, using the bumping mechanic to get the kill IS an exploit. I wasn't AFK, yes I CAN afford to lose it, no I'm not stupid and no, I'm not whining about losing a ship, I really don't give a XXXX. I have however still cancelled my accounts as I am not comfortable with the game mechanic that allows a freighter to be killed so easily with zero risk.

Flame me all you like about 'rage quitting' but it's nothing like that. If you see what you think is a flaw which spoils a game for you then you stop playing it, no matter what game it is.

And no, you can't have my stuff before some highly unoriginal child asks.

when people say 'no risk' in regards to suicide ganking for profit I think what they are usually trying to say is that for the gankers they're able to calculate the number of ships and DPS to almost be assured of a successful gank

it's still a wrong thing to say, of course, i imagine it's pretty easy to foul up a gank because three people disconnected halfway through and one was burping the worm when the call went out

besides if they took the effort to organise and calculate the odds of success i think they're entitled to a reward

also it's possible that the gankers fail because the freighter/barge took some basic precautio- oh

Do the same line of reasoning for mining barges, and see how that worked out. You can probably assume that the same thing is going to happen for freighters.

Barges were only profitable if they fitted no tank and full rack of t2 mining lasers and MLU. Just about every subcap can be ganked for profit if they fit no tank and have a t2 fitting.

Again, plese show us what rules we are supposedly breaking.

Its amazing how much more effort these people are willing to put into there forum whines yet are unable to do a task as simple as not transporting 6 billon in the hold while AFK through the most well known piracy hotspot in EVE.

Could change Nijara and Uedama to 0.9.

Or double wrapped tritainium

I wonder how long it will take before Enderailen becomes a standard landing spot for JFs trying to bypass the whole Niarja-Uedama-Urlen triangle.

That will depend on how many start to double-wrap even nigh-worthless stuff (on the scale of things). If no-one does that, wraps just signal that you're carrying something valuable, at which point it'll be worth the 50/50-gamble on making it drop.

GǪand by the looks of things so far, it's more a case of the latter: it's far more likely to be valuable and people like to gamble every now and then.

So will 2015.

But hey, if there's anything the recent election should have taught everyone, it's that lying is the fastest and easiest way to convince people you're right and that your problem is real when it isn't.
