bumping is a brilliant mechanic for disrupting enemy warps or transversal movement. it takes a fair amount of pilot skill to do it to a moving target, and should be rewarded.
bumps against stationary targets are easily avoided (just move) and are not a real issue. |

And moving a freighter out of the way is... impossible. Different size boats' handling are different. I don't support counter for bumping, btw. But with these forums full of vets, don't expect to lie in their face and have it unanswered. 
calling me a liar because i failed to mention a circumstantial scenario is a tad dramatic. and there are still things u can do to get around being bumped even in a freighter. |

Hmm. specifics? How does freighter which cannot fit modules avoid bumps? Counter positions are good I think, but specifics are necessary to keep it from being useless arguments in the form of "uh huh... nuh uh".
getting bumped when u try to undock? use an insta-undock or a have a friend in fleet sit out at one.
getting bumped when ur out and hauling? log off and comeback later. they'll get bored. if it persists everytime u try to haul and they follow u everywhere, it apparently constitutes as harassment. get a friend or alt to haul while petition goes through.
getting bumped and ganked? ur already dead. the bumping is legit and is the least of ur worries. |

I mentioned 1v1 play, so presume no friends. Secondly it seems a player's options when being bumped is to stop playing -- a true recipe for success. And lastly, bumping as a stalling tactic (where the bumped can't aggress) until the rest of your fleet shows up is just dumb in my opinion. If you web/scram me I can defend myself. But if you're bumping I cannot until it's too late. It's like the guy who keeps getting in your way without touching you until his buddies can show up and beat the crap out of you. I can't think of a single decent court that wouldn't see the guy stalling you as part of the aggressors.
then i think the source of ur problem is that ur trying to 1v1 in a freighter... |

Bumping can also be quite an art, its not that easy to be both faster and heavier than your target and still hit it with precision. Confirming OP's freighter can be be faster than a cruiser. Ah, the IQ of a goon. Link that freighter fit? 
must have read the first line and then prematurely ejaculated his post. |
