Way to take a dump haulers Fozzie. Less tank+less agility+less cargo space but if you spend a lot more isk on your already expensive ship you can fix one, maybe two of those nerfs. Not to mention the 50% more fuel consumption coming soon.
I assume that your goal is to spread industry out all over null so that local markets can do everything themselves. Unfortunately, I believe that the exact opposite is what's going to happen. Hauling nerfs are going to cause people to congregate even more closely together than they already do, not encourage them to spread out more. There just aren't enough people interested in doing every aspect of industry in every corner of the universe and forcing people to do things that they don't want to do doesn't generally work out well. |

This literally happens almost every day in Niarja, Uedama, Balle area and other common ganking spots. There are are at least a few people who run isboxer freighter gank squads regularly. |

See, while people say it does, I wonder if that that's not just an urban legend like the "recycling alts" that people always talk about. also how do they know it's 1 guy with mutliboxing software, not just 20 really well co-ordinated pilots?

Here is one of them, Wrong Target Sorry__. Are you seriously going to try and tell me those aren't an isboxer group?
There is also the Amm_i group that often gank with him...

Go through the KB histories a bit. There are actually a lot more not on killboards because they don't post them. My alliance mates see them happen though since it is in their best interest to scout choke points. |

How can one tell by a kill board whether the attacking gang used ISBOXER..which far as I know is allowed. Its not bot software
I never said it was. I use isboxer. I was saying that its not an urban myth that people gank freighters solo as someone said it was. |

I am pretty sure that most players would agree that flying a freighter is currently one of the most boring and tedious things to do in Eve.
So Fozie decided to make them:
- More boring and tedious to fly (less agility)
- More expensive (rig costs)
- Easier to kill (less tank)
- Less useful (smaller cargo)
Of course if you double the cost of the ship with T2 rigs you can fix some of that.
Apparently making the game more fun to play is not one of the current design goals of Eve Online. |

This is widely understood, and why assumed u weren't being truthful. sorry  This is not a risk. Who cares about the drop when you gank? You are ISK-efficient regardless on the killboards. The drop is only icing on top of the already delicious cake. even the kill itself is not a certainty. what if the freighter pilot uses webs as this guy pointed out. If ur measuring the chances of a successful gank from after the point a freighters been bumped, ill admit, the chances of escape are almost 0 (which is why i say dnt get bumped). but even the turrets catalysts and talos's use work on a random number generator. fingers crossed...
A single mach can keep a webbed freighter from warping with bumping only. |

In before everyone freaks out about having spent billions on rigs they can't use. |
