Why is it suddenly 'beyond the pale' for empty freighters to be ganked?

First, if I was going to lose a freighter - I'd hope it was empty.

Second, do carebears really think there exists some kind of ''unspoken" rule that empty freighters should not be ganked? And if they are ganked - it requires CCP take action?

But despite this already having been done thousands of times over ten years, it's 'emergent gameplay' when CODE do it, don't ya know?

Ganking freighters doesn't actually provide any emergent gameplay for anybody.
Not even themselves, because sitting in station doesn't equal to playing a game at all.

Oh yes, sure, 30 sec to undock, strike, dock up again.

Wow, so much gameplay provided for everybody!


Anybody who believes they provide any meaningfull content to anybody
is just too dumb to realize the propaganda and too blind to simply
look at what reality shows him.


That being sad ... this is completely useless to even talk about.

The facts are laid out for everybody to see, but the propaganda machine easily
deals with the stupid masses successfully.


The game is too easy, especially for these wannabe bad guys in highsec.

You don't know much about fleet warfare, do you?

Gankers get kinda wordy when you mention taking in some slack on 'em, don't they?

*tosses out the hush puppies*

A game within a game. Worship me. I am the Freighter Goddess. Anyone claiming sovereignty over the souls of astro-truckers is a charlatan and a knave. (Some commoner called James seems to have grown too big for his broom closet.)

Send me everything all at once TWICE and I'll ensure you're never again bothered as you keep it between the ditches, slammin' those gears down the highway of life.

Just to show yah how much I love yah:

Girl On The Billboard

Six Days On The Road

Drivin' My Life Away

Lookin' At The World Through A Windshield

What's the big surprise? Oh...right. Catch you on the flip flop.

It's stupid that concord would allow this to happen.

'emergent' gameplay is why CCP has lost subs over the last year.

You are right. Actions do have consequences.

Implying ganking unarmed ships with impunity in highsec is 'fleet warfare'. Aye, truly on par with low and null slugfests - CODE is the new Rooks and Kings.

Thanks for making me chuckle.

There are no hisec mechanics that can be tweaked to change this without destroying the game.

Give them logi escort. Two to three guardians and you're solid.

stop -10s been able to dock, maybe even down to -5s.....doesnt stop ganking, just makes them think a bit more and certainly wouldnt destroy the game.

You should regularly read blogs such as The Mittani and the minerbumping site to know when events are happening. Otherwise you will get burnt.

Most suicide gankers are just chestbeating carebears hiding inside the station
until they undock in a group, strike and vanish again.

Make CCP nerf the cowards and the game will change.

Until then you have to live with these cowards.

Many of the victims never saw it coming or even imagined it could happen

not really, just means they have to buy tags more often.

Also lol ganking being education

most -10s i know dont buy tags because they dont need to as its too easy to exist in highsec and gank as a -10.

Interesting how surviving in game requires not only involvement with the forum run by the game company, but now apparently also requires people to visit non-CCP websites, creating advertising revenue for the owners, in order to obtain intel.

How long before people are required to attend real life meetings? Fanfest? Pay $100/month?

The meta is out of control.

Best way to get -10 Pirates out in space where people can kill them?

Remove the ******** half-brother of Concord - the Faction Police. (Long overdue since Crimewatch release anyway)

Pirates would no longer be required to stay in station, and so-called 'highsec badasses' that want to 'get them' might have a shot at it.

But removing faction police would just make carebears cry even harder. I can hear it now - "Oh, Oh - that makes the game 'too easy' for criminals!"

You can't have it both ways.

If you want stupid NPC police to protect you by forcing pirates into hiding when idle, you DON'T get to whine when they act in a (rational) way that won't let you 'get at them'.

Even an empty freighter or especially jump freighter is going to be a big plus on killboards. Stop autopiloting juicy killmails in 0.5 systems.



*cough* Faction Police *cough* Perhaps you've heard of them? Remove faction police, and we'll spend more time in space...deal?



They know better now, don't they?
