The blame for Ganking falls squarely at the feet of the "victim". Period. Crying about your loss with tears of "I did not consent to PVP" is untrue. That little button called "Undock" is all the consent needed

No ship ever should be Immune to exploding in high Sec. If a group of guys wants to explode an empty Freighter. That is entirely their business. In a PVP orientated sandboxed MMO game, you should be aware that some will help you , some will screw you, and most will never meet you.

Todays gamer is a self entitled entity. Demanding their stuff remain "safe" while they do as little as possible to protect themselves. I detest these types of gamers. They are a toxin to every game they involve themselves in.

Failing to defend yourself is not a gameplay style.

Don't be obtuse. Self defense does not always involve guns.

Of course it can prevent a gank.

Oh, wait, I get it. You're one of those people who think that prevention only starts when the gankers land on grid, aren't you?

You are absolutely correct. This is also true for any lock that protects valuable property, or policemen who defend neighborhoods.

Against a determined criminal, no deterrent is 100%.

The question is, why are you looking for a defense that is a 100%? Do you think that EVE owes a freighter pilot a 100% effective defense?

Nope. As long as you have at least 1 point of warp strength, you can warp off. Bumping removes zero points of warp strength.

The point is that when bumping is used as a mechanism to make it impossible for ships to warp off between successive gank attempts from the exact same gankers, the failure of CONCORD to respond to such is inconsistent with the both the purpose of OONCORD and the design of highsec.

I.e. never.

No, it's not inconsistent that CONCORD does not respond to an impossible event or that they don't respond to legal activity.

To Quote CCP Falcon " CONCORD offer a level of deterrent just the same as any law enforcement agency, but as with any police for they're reactive and punitive rather than proactive." This means that in the view of CCP CONCORD IS a police force.

Generally speaking people put to death in the real world don't tend to get up and do it again.

Sure they are. You died which is why clone number 175 woke up (unless your the broker, that guy has dozens of himself wandering around at any one time).

same reason you get an insignificant fine or get chucked in the barracks with everything removed from your inventory but the lockpick you need to ironicquote blow this joint unironicquote and get back to slaying dragons rabbits et cetera

the reason is that a computer game and an actual jail have completely different design goals

Anyone else get the feeling that all the people arguing against easily observable reality here is just one super butt hurt guy with a bunch of alts?

The last time people let stupid ideas get spouted off without challenge, freighters got rigging slots.

And the carebears cried about that with such tears as hadn't been seen in years.

Don't try to assume moral equivalency here, there is none.

You are confusing "people" with the regular crowd of argumentative forum-'socialites' who no one takes seriously and can't concede a point. Most of the rational people seem to agree that suicide ganking is a problem and does not carry risk or penalties that match the rewards. Its completely broken and its embarrassing that unfair mechanics like this continue to exist in EVE for so long before getting fixed.

I think the CODE gankfest against miners, against freighter pilots, and now against incursion runners is going to force CCP to rethink the game mechanics. CODE is driving hundreds, if not thousands of players right into unsubscription (check out their Venture ganking contest). Every time this has happened before CCP has buffed highec and nerfed ganking (see adding rig slots to freighters, for example).
