So your plan to bring freighters to lowsec is to make them unable to die?
Then what is the point of them being in low sec?
Just make them align faster or some ******* ****.

To transport cargo and you know making them align align faster won't do anything towards getting them to lowsec and will be exploited in highsec. I think blowing a hole through the ship is the best way to go.
Why can't the ship blow up.
Also how is it not exploited already by people with a webber alt.
Also how is it a good idea for freighter take 10 hours to kill and is using ECM bursts?

Why do you need to blow up the ship? You've already taken it's cargo... If you really want to kill it drop a capital fleet with mom and titan support? I can't see a fleet of that size taking 10hrs to bring one down...
Ewar was a maybe... AOE ewar can't be used in highsec and do you leave them defenseless against attacks? AOE ewar is fairly weak and gives the pilot something to fight with while being raided.
I think your too greedy for wanting a freighter kill in lowsec. I've only known them to get killed when they make a bad gamble coming through right before down time and into a gate camp.
Alright guy, I can't believe im doing this, but im going to explain to you why making freighters not die is one of the stupidest things you could ever possibly ******* do.
Just sit there and think for a second, "What if freighters never died?"
Ok in this new world without freighters dying, people will never ever need to replace their freighters.
The number of freighters would build up, every time someone makes a freighter it is there nearly forever.
Pretty soon there will be more freighters than people that want freighters, suddenly all demand for freighters being built stops, the ships might even become worth less than the minerals they are made of.
This goes beyond just understanding supply and demand, it is even more fundamental than that, IF PEOPLE DON'T NEED THINGS THEN PEOPLE DON'T BUY THINGS. What if every time you ate a grape you could vomit it out and it would be perfectly nutritious and appetizing.
The grape industry instantly folds.
Suddenly the entire game itself crumbles, all ships can't die, people just start stockpiling one of every ship, mining stops, all industry is over, the game looses all purpose and becomes nothing more than running missions and fighting battles with no purpose.
Game over.
Then Aoe ewar, think about that for a second, everyone locking the freighter now just lost lock, you know what that means? It got away, and there was nothing in the world you could do about it, it might as well have been hisec.
If you do have something that can relock the freighter, fighting it now becomes the most painful, unpleasant, eye gouging experiences you can have.
You can move a freighter through low sec now if you really want to, ya know why nobody does it? Because it is pointless, completely and utterly pointless.

To clarify:
1. This makes ganking more profitable because you do not have to factor isk value of freighter in terms of it's hull
2. All of it's POS level tank is in it's hull
3. If the ship takes hull damage, the ship jetcans all of it's cargo and while in or out of a station cannot relod it's hold till it's hull is 100%
4. The pirates are free to loot the can, I would assume they would make their isk quota by doing so.
5. If you wish to repair in a station you are welcome to, but hull repairs are very expensive for any ship...
If ships don't die, ships don't get ******* made.

It takes far less effort to make a freighter than it does a super cap. It will take a really long time for the number of super caps to max out, because it is really hard to make them. The number of supers being produced has been going down anyway due to demand changes as well.
Most people in Eve can't afford a super, but most peple want one.
Whenever becomes rich enough to buy one, probably get one they get one.
