3 trips of ~12 billion ISK.
I encountered a bump Machariel on 4 separate occasions during the trips. Each time they attempted to bump my freighter. Each time I escaped.
Suicide ganking is not the problem. It is in fact the opposite. Web warping freighters is a problem. It makes it so the gankers have a near 0% chance of catching the freighter. And you are so horribly ugly that there is no way someone can miss that you're a troll! :D Great face though, seriously! :D I love the colors! :D The ugly person is correct though. Webbing your freighter in to an almost instant warp has a very high success ratio.
I've done it using a Corp Daredevil, MWD and dual fit webs. (90% web x 2)
While most of this thread defines EVE to a letter perfect example (the game of don't do stuff) this is the one option you do when moving a freighter.
I object to the fruity bump mechanic, never tried to understand it and never saw it as valid but for the time being, CCP do see it as such. This is the work around. |

Link leads to a cheesy 7 second Yoda fail clip for those to lazy to click it.
The draw back of course is, the Daredevil web worked so your catchy reply fails to hit the mark. |

The draw back of course is, the Daredevil web worked so your catchy reply fails to hit the mark. Yes, Daredevil webs will work. I wasn't arguing to the contrary. I quoted the selection of what you said that I was criticising, and you seem to have shifted the goalposts. Also, nothing Yoda says is cheesy. You should be ashamed of yourself for such heresy.
I am Khanid Amarr.
Yoda is a demon and you are evil.
And fruity bump mechanic is still an absurd mechanic that should be changed but I don't expect it to so I keep Daredevil Web frigs on hand.
- And to the guy above me, Logi doesn't work in HS and you would need a dozen carriers to make it work in low sec because no logi is bonused for Hull tank. |

Why thank you, that's about the nicest thing anyone's ever called me. But again, pay very close attention this time - I never argued against using Daredevil webs. I never argued against using any webs.
I am aware that you didn't agree with my view on fruity bumb mechanics. It doesn't require me to fail in any way though. Any content that requires me to 'bump' someone to death is content I have no desire to participate in. Not out of some bullshit honor either. The goal in bumping is to get them out of sentry range and it takes a bloody eternity. I'd get more joy in timing a neutral web, losing a frigate and watching the freighter warp away. Because I'm a true *******. |
