Freighters are meant to travel with an escort if they wish to avoid ganking and camps etc. An RL example is the Atlantic Convoys in WWII.

Freighters carry shedloads of stuff and a few modules are not going to help much...Freighters + Escort\Protection is how they're supposed to be flown not like any other ship in EVE and I appreciate the SP required but to give them that much m3 AND modules would just be OP.

Jump Freighters are landing on a Cyno so the same protection should be afforded to them as a Freighter and not a "throw-away" alt lighting up for it to jump to. Value the ship\cargo within = fly it with protection.

I guess you can gather that it's a no from me and no, I'm not a ganker or a Freighter Pilot but if you want modules AND Cargo capacity look at an Orca.

EDIT: Not the first time it's been suggested either so please use the search button to see if you idea is truly unique in that: Never before been suggested or has not been suggested in an active thread.

Yeah yeah HTFU, you are asking for a 110% ehp buff at the cost of only 30% cargo or so, that's still way over JF capacity and the ehp goes to 400k.

You say 40 cats can do it for 80 mil? And 240 must be in freighter to make it worth it?

How about we go do the math on the economics of time.
Lets assume for a start that it is 40 people were talking about, they are going to spend their time being ready for a gank, the FC will have to gather them up and organize the event in advance, after they spot the freighter it will be bumped off the gate and the catalysts will blow it up and lose their sec status as well as get killrights on them, then you have to risk another freighter to loot the dead wreck unless the cargo hold is small, where you can lose both the loot and the freighter depending on who is sticking around to screw with you, after that you have to get loot to a hub and sell it.

If you are still going to claim its 2 mil per catalyst then you clearly have no idea what you are talking about.
Harden the **** up bear, this game favors you and it shouldn't get any easier for anyone.

No you can't have your super tanky ship which still hauls more than half it previously could.
Use escorts, web freighter chose different routes, look at ships killed in last hour statistics and don't be a dumbass.

The catalysts make it cheaper on paper but you need a lot more manpower, organizing and the loot goes 40 ways.

And everyones time just falls out of the sky and getting this many people together comes at no price.
This is why you can't have an intelligent discussion with you people, you just straight out ignore some parts of the system and claim that your math is right and we are better off for being able to do it this cheap.

Might I ask how you suicided a rifter in jita? As well as his pod? Using rokh? Unless you used smarties you shouldn't have time to kill him and his pod. It smells like an awful lot of BS, your killboard shows no such things and to begin with you are a null bear.

Why do you continue to make claims to know how highsec suicide ganking works when you clearly have not done it even once.

You probably tried a gank once and failed and now you assume that the miniscule 0.15 sec hit for an attempt is all the sec loss you get for a gank.

Please...

Since we are discussing it your way... You can gank everything in eve absolutely for free, you get 1 million noobships and you suicide gank a freighter using noobships which are free, since everyone has a ship that is free the entire gank is free as well.

That IS what you are basically claiming.
