Heather Tsukaya Perkone Caldari State 0	Posted - 2013.07.27 13:46:00 - [1] - Quote It is impossible for them to die if they're piloted in a certain way. I don't think any ship should be invulnerable. That is why CCP created infinity point tacklers after all, so that certain ships wouldn't be 100% invincible when piloted in lowsec. Here is a guide that says how to piloit jump freighters without ever dying: http://crackerjax.org/gwiki/GoonWIki/wiki.goonfleet.com/Category_Jump_Freighters.html Basically: * They can't be killed after jumping to the cyno, because they jump into dock range so they can instantly dock. * They can't be killed after undocking, because they ctrl+space immediately so they never end up outside of redocking range, then when the SCT is over they can try and jump to the stargate * While warping to stargate, they can be tackled and fired upon, but they can't be killed because they can instantly redock if threatened *They can't be killed after coming out of warp at the stargate, because they can instantly jump through it into highsec The result is that jump freighters can move from system to system with 100% safety. I think the idea that some ships can be 100% safe in lowsec goes against CCP's design goals. It takes all the risk out of transporting materials, which in turn removes a huge aspect of Eve's gameplay. Basically the only time a traveling ship is vulnerable to attack is when coming out of a stargate, but jump freighters can travel through lowsec without ever having to come out of a stargate, so they're never vulnerable to attack. I really hope CCP does something about this. It creates a big gulf between the have nots, who can get gate camped while trying to move stuff around and the haves who can use jump drives to move goods around at absolutely zero risk.

Emma Yobibit Garoun Investment Bank Gallente Federation 34	Posted - 2013.07.27 14:29:00 - [3] - Quote Tell me that again next time you see them make errors and run away at 1 000m/s up to 20km from the station, or tell me that when they jump in a POS without a station in system. Tell me that when you see one get bumped because it took more then 30 seconds to dock in, or because it got pumped while undocking. They are not invulnerable, they cost 7 billion and the fuel for them costs them more then 10 million isk per jump. And with that they carry less then half the cargo of normal freighters. Every ship playing station games is safe, not only jump freighters, so start talking about that.

Every ship coming out of a station right is safe sure, but non caps have periods where they can be intercepted and attacked. Sure jump freighter pilots can screw up and lose their ships, but "100% invulnerable unless you do something stupid" is still way over powered.

So your lets say 99% safe. Who cares? 99% is 1 time every 100 jumps you make, you will of made more then 100 jumps if you want to make profits with your freighter.

Mag's the united Negative Ten. 15270	Posted - 2013.07.28 12:34:00 - [10] - Quote I don't see any issue with the jump freighter. The issue I see here, is the use of cynos by any ship type, without much of a penalty. If people had to use a dedicated ship type in order to keep instant jump capability, then they would have to risk far more than now. My idea regarding that change.

You may gain the knowledge, but you will lose your belief, with all its mystery and comfort. If there was proof, absolute and certain, there is an afterlife, why not quit this life, and be done with it? Ponder about these things all your life, and you're a philosopher. Compress these ponderings into a couple of pages, and you'll go mad.

This way no one has to complain about their camp being unable to kill a target as they will just be instapopped if they try. Thus the tears on both sides will stop and the game will be in peace and harmony. Then the ponies of the Solar Empire attack.

The whole purpose of a jump freighter IS to get stuff to low or null security space with safety. It is the whole reason small gangs in nullsec can thrive and build up stockpiles. You're just looking for easy kills.

Besides, have you never seen JF get suicide ganked? Highsec isn't 100% safe like you would make it seem.

And even if this would be implemented, people would just light the cyno in a safe, and have their cyno alt equipped with webs to insta warp the JF before someone lands on grid. Lowering the average to make you look better since 2012.

You just need to figure out the vulnerabilities of the situation and play to those. The fact that JFs get killed all the time pretty much shows they can be killed, so the initial complaint is moot. So, you're a bounty hunter. No, that ain't it at all. Then what are you? I'm a bounty hunter.
Gizznitt Malikite Agony Unleashed Agony Empire 2349	Posted - 2013.07.29 15:31:00 - [23] - Quote Emma Yobibit wrote: Heather Tsukaya wrote: Aquila Sagitta wrote: ..uhh so whats your idea/feature?

A few things to consider: 1.) With a properly positioned cyno on a station, a JF is 100% immune to death upon warp in. -- That said, people often suck at placing cyno's on a station. It's easy to bounce off a station, and an unlucky bounce will result in a JF 500+m from station before it can "dock". A cyno spot that lands 95% of JF's perfectly within dock range without bouncing, has a 5% chance of cynoing the JF beyond dock range. 2.) POS force fields have a mechanic that prevents ships cyno'ing directly into the POS FF. I'm honestly not 100% familiar with the mechanic, but from my "limited" understanding if you attempt to cyno into a FF you end up many km's beyond the FF. If a similar mechanic were implented at stations, it would not be the end of the world. People would simply cyno in to a safe spot and warp to the station. Web to warp will get a JF into warp faster than a dictor could warp to the cyno. The "you land 5 km's from the station when jumping into a cyno at zero from station" has a much larger impact on hotdrops. If someone is using a carrier to rep their buddy on station, and you want to drop dreads, or anything for that matter, on top of it to kill it, you suddenly land much farther from the target. 5 km's from station could easily mean 20-40 km's from your target, very much changing the dynamic of hotdropping stuff on a station. This isn't a terrible thing either, it is simply something people would have to adapt to. 3.) Your JF pilots will hate you for this implementation... They don't want to risk a 6-10b isk worth of stuff so you can make a shiny killmail out of them, and they already have to worry about imperfect cyno's as it is.
Asuka Solo Stark Fujikawa Stark Enterprises 2423	Posted - 2013.07.29 15:39:00 - [24] - Quote Simple fix. Delete cynos. Allow capitals to jump themselves. They wont be able to jump directly on a station... but then again, you wont know they jumped into local begin with either. So your problem has very little to do with JF's being safe.... it has more to do with your inability to make low-sec less safe. So can I haz your stuff now? Eve is about Capital ships, WiS, Boobs, PI and Isk!

Kahega Amielden Rifterlings Point Blank Alliance 818	Posted - 2013.07.29 22:18:00 - [30] - Quote Of course you're virtually unkillable if you make no mistakes. That's true no matter what you do. If you're running missions or exploration complexes and drop cans at the acceleration gate warpin and watch dscan/local vigorously, there is no way that anyone is ever going to successfully gank you. Traveling through lowsec is 100% safe if you fly in a covert ops or use a scout (scout can be in something like a noobship) Mining in lowsec even is 100% safe if you stay prealigned and ready to warp as soon as anything shows up on overview. The point is that everyone is human and eventually makes mistakes, and then you can kill them.

Kagura Nikon Mentally Assured Destruction 464	Posted - 2013.07.30 11:13:00 - [35] - Quote While they are NOT invulnerable. Jump freighters damaged a lot the opportunities for a lot of fun operations and counter operations in the game. I think a MINOR, but effective nerf would maybe to make impossible to jump FROM high sec, so you need to jump into a low sec system to do it, actually creating some minor risk. Also all cyno jumping, on my eyes, should have a charge up time, just like micro jump drives. ENough so that you can get pointed if you do not have at least a forward scout to warn you.

Dyexz Comrades in Construction 1	Posted - 2013.07.30 17:08:00 - [37] - Quote @Heather Tsukaya I take it that you do not fly capital ships or at least not the kind of ships that is defenseless. Maybe you should try and look at it from the JF pilots perspective instead of your small narrow-minded perspective. Just flying a ~7 billion isk ship makes you a huge target enough as it is, not to mention that it is completely defenseless. Let me just ask you think, would you slap a sticker saying "Here, free* shiny kill-mail for you"* on the side of a ~7 billion ship? I sertantly would not ! Placing a cyno so close to a station is just a precaution but it is by no means fail-prove, and mistakes causes very big vulnerabilities when piloting a JF. There is no safe place in New Eden, not High security space, not Low security space, not Null security space nor even Wormhole space is safe. It doesn't matter what kind of ship you fly being in space means taking risks, that is probably why your flying in Low-sec space hoping to find some unfortunately few capsuleers that have had their luck run out. What would the point of EVE's foundation be if there wasn't methods to feel/be safe ?

What would the point of EVE's foundation be if there wasn't methods to feel/be safe ? Actually, I think EvE offers too many methods for pilots to feel/be safe. Omniscient local means you can be 100% certain you are safe at the moment, allowing you to min/max your ship for isk making purposes and not worry about interaction with opponents. This makes people whine, cry, and throw a hissy-fit anytime someone leaves a cloaked hostile in system, because they no longer feel 100% safe. I believe people should operate while under constant danger, and the rewards should basically reflect the risks/danger ever-present. Covert, Nullified t3's means you can travel from point A to point B without fear of getting caught, without need for travel preparation (i.e. no scout, no bookmarks needed). The only way you lose them is due to piloting error and/or unfortunate lag. Jump Mechanics allow people to transport ships from point A to point B while completely invulnerable to getting caught. The only way you lose your carrier/JF during jump-travel is by piloting error (primarily bad cyno placement) and/or unfortunate luck (like dc'ing). Let's be frank, EvE has been becoming safer and safer as it evolves, and adding some danger back into the game is generally a good thing. At the same time, I would rather target local chat being used as an intel tool rather than jump logistics.

Server Ticks (1 hz): 0: Loki loads grid under cloak. 1: Loki double clicks in space (or aligns or hits warp to). This info is sent to the server. 2: A: Loki activates cloak to cloak up. 2: B: Loki appears on your overview. You spam lock. 3: A: Loki is cloaked, (and warping away freely). 3: B: You get the "successful" lock this tick. 3: C: The server invalidates your lock/lock attempt because they are cloaked. 4 or 5: The loki disappears from your overview, flying off safely. Now, If you are lucky, the loki misses the cloak activation on tick 2, and you get the successful lock prior to him cloaking. I haven't done enough tests to verify how truly successful instalocking ships are at catching IN T3's, but my experience has been it is pretty luck based (and shoddy, tbh).
