That would entail giving them more cargo space, which can't happen because then they'd be able to bring cap ships into highsec. They are already as good at doing their job as they'll ever be.

No, why do they need more cargo space?

Yes they should. Everything should. The day something cannot be bumped and killed by a few day-old characters, that thing needs to be removed form the game because it has just broken one of the core balancing principles. Neither SP nor capital cost is even remotely relevant to that consideration.

There are ppl who see another side to the game rather than pew pew. Its what makes Eve so attractive, you can play how you like and no way is 'right' even though people keep insisting that their way is.

Sorry, your ideas were already debunked more than a month ago.

No I'm not advocating making hi sec safer. I am advocating making freighters more able to do the job that they are in the game for. That is to transport high volumes of goods in relative safety (not total safety). They take a lot of skill points and a lot of capital to buy one of these things.

They shouldnt be able to be bumped and killed by a few throwaway alts that are a few days old. That is quite simply a game mechanic not working as intended and I am sure CCPs "current view" will change on this subject

Because the Mittani is the absolute authority on Eve

They are losing too many casual players over it

CCP will change it eventually, I promise you that. They are losing too many casual players over it

CCP will change it eventually, I promise you that. They are losing too many casual players over it If you guys wanna shoot stuff then go shoot each other ratrher than fish in a barrel. Oh no... that means someone fights back!

Been seeing this same argument since 2004, hasn't happened yet.

Why don't you go haul your stuff in nullsec, where your stuff has a fighting chance to be released from confinement in your boring freighter?

the important words from CCP Falcon there in the quote that is always used are "current view"

In other words that view can change. That's why it is a legitimate discussion topic.

Don't lecture me on how I play the game and I will do you the same courtesy okay?

Bumping is a broken mechanic. The ability to disable key functionality of another person's ship without triggering aggression or even forfeiting police protection is so obviously contrary to a choice-and-consequences based design that it hardly needs to be mentioned.

I think it would be awesome if people could actually take damage when they are bumped.... i mean, crashed into.

If a little bullet bumping into you can strip half your shield, then a frieghter/dred/SC should bloody well erase it.

Well, it would certainly make ganking easier and would cull the (super)cap numbers right down.

After all, a 68 GJ projectile does ~10k HP damage. So logically, a 50 TJ Cruiser should do just under 10M HP damage.

Ganking is a value faucet not an ISK sink
Each item destroyed requires replacement material, it does not remove the ISK - It in fact increases it through insurance payouts.

Show me your math and when I'm done LOLing I'll respond.

Ok. So why is bumping broken?

I believe that's so self-evident that you must be engaging in propaganda.

I don't believe you genuinely require an explanation.

I believe that's so self-evident that you must be engaging in propaganda. Good for you: that's one of the things the pro-bumping crowd do entertainingly well. Please continue, but I don't believe you genuinely require an explanation.
