Bumping is the only issue I believe that should be looked into.

Even with a escort all you have to do is just bring in a second mach pilot and you are going to get bumped, also as much as I would love to say this is game where you play with other players, it should not be a necessity when it comes to flying a freighter / JF.

If the only way to avoid getting bumped is to use a "legal Loophole" then something is wrong

I honestly have no idea how the mechanics could be changed but what I do not want is to see any kind of official ruling that bumping is not allowed or anything silly like that.

I can understand the frustration when you being bumped as once you received the initial bump you are as good as dead, well it is out of your hands at any rate.

Oh, give them some credit.

They really add a bunch of classy and well thought out content to the systems local chat. If you enjoy the full spectrum of "white-knight" conversation, you will be delighted to hear all of the classics you've come to know and love - featuring -

* References to human or animal waste products.

* Threats of RL violence directed at other players.

* Sound strategic advice such as "YOU SHOULD GO TO NULLSEC AND TRY THAT"

* Erotic fanfiction with a special focus on homosexual acts.

* Thrilling reports of victory when a white-knight manages to do from 0-1% damage on a catalyst that was concorded.

* A general inability to spell, form a complete thought, or make sense in any way.

* Professional PVP advice - featuring advanced study courses such as "THAT'S NOT *REAL* PVP" and "Post combat data analysis - It was not a "Fair" fight". Master courses such as "Shooting spaceships in a video game that features shooting spaceships and the link to Sociopathic Disorders" and "Economic Bushido: I won't pay because of the principle!"


But wait, there is more! The white-knights in Aufay will bring you exciting NEW hits sure to become favorites. You'll see -

* Amazing examples of "thinking outside of the box" - such as a white-knight in a Falcon parking 50m off the gank target and sacrificing the Falcon to the song of "I've had this falcon forever look how it was rigged I did not want it anyway"

* Other random ships sitting 50m from a gank target and exploding in a dazzling array of PSSSSSSHHHHHHH

* The saga of the white knights in Smart Bombing battleships. Featuring the amazing strategy of galaxy renowned PVP master "DrysonBennington" - the same mastermind that brought you the "LEVEL 4 CODE ORANGE ALERT CODE IS IN SYSTEM" and the mysterious and deadly "Scissors Technique". You will marvel as they deploy smartbombs and do minor damage
to many a catalyst while destroying many random non-code players and their pods - all to EMERGE after being concorded with a negative sec status that confuses them and about a dozen kill rights to be used at a later date for a special encore! (Special feature - brand new and never before seen strategy by PVP master "DrysonBenningon" may also be featured! As of late, he seems to have the ability to come up with at least a few every day.)

* The somber but determined march of as much ECM every single white-knight can possibly bring to the field - which is nullified by ECCM fits time and time again - the true wonder of this is the determination that regardless of it never changing the outcome of a single freighter gank, more faith in this feature is required and simply trying it again in a half hour will result in a outcome that results in .... whatever results the white-knights are convinced will happen.

* The intense rock anthem of REVENGE. Soon, many of the white knights and gank targets will summon their "powerful friends in null sec" who will totally put a stop to this madness. (Please note: Powerful friends in nullsec are not available in some areas including high-sec. Powerful friends in nullsec may decide to be featured at a much later date that can best be described as "Soon".

All of this can be yours for free! Simply set course for Aufay and make sure to bring a towel - the white-knights of Aufay can break into tears of sadness or rage at any moment and it tends to get a bit messy.

Hah! I'll gladly take that blame. After you get that alt created you should head over to the blog at minerbumping.com and explore a bit - you will find a treasure trove of information to help you plan your skill path to get as much DPS on the field as quickly as you can, and everything you could ever want to know about the mechanics of high-sec warfare, CONCORD, and how to use every game mechanic possible to your advantage.

And don't forget - New Order Logistics (A proud member of the CODE. Alliance!) is openly accepting applications and will provide you with plenty of hands on experience and a bunch of fun! Look them up, you will be glad you did. I hear there are some pretty cool dudes in that corp :-)
