Is 3 reinforced bulkheads the way to go for the most gank proof freighter? Cargo hold size not being an issue. |

3 bulkheads is the most ehp you can get out of a freighter, but 3 A-type adaptive nano plates will get you pretty close |

Especially on an Obelisk if you assume a typical CODE style gank squad using Void ammo and go with Kinetic/Thermal/Adaptive for 347,667 EHP vs Void. |

You can also invest in some implants to increase your shields, armor, and hull hp. And the Slave Implant set can increase your raw armor hp by 20 to 50% depending on what grade you get. Change isn't bad, but it isn't always good. Sometimes, the oldest and most simple of things can be the most elegant and effective.

I'm sure you meant Slaves not Snakes =P but yeah, now if a ganker scans a freighter and he has Adaptive Nano Platings on that they want to gank, they have to bring enough catalysts to kill a HG-Slaved Freighter or risk leaving him in low hull or something. The thing is they usually bring more than enough anyway, so it's not a huge matter. |

Basically - forget Charon/Fenrir.
Slave set, Coreli ANPs, booster/webbing chum Eos good for tank and range of those webs).
Its what my hauler and its 'escort' use.
Why not Charon/Fen? Cant get big benefit due to shields, due to lack of implants. Gets penalised by being forced to use bulkheads and still comes out lower.
And remember, gankers will gank. Just make them work for it. |

The best tank for a freighter, as with any ship, is to fly it smartly. No AFK, no loading it with billions worth of cargo, avoid known gank-havens, etc.
It sounds like you already haul at keyboard, so you're most of the way to tanking your freighter already. Kudos. Reading Comprehension: a skill so important it deserves it's own skillbook.

If they see your link/web ship and scan your plating (kin/therm/therm is always best), they will assume Slaves. Only people you'll manage to save your ship against will be bored/drunk goons during burn jita.
Your best bet with Slaves is to hide your link ship (wait in gate cloaks) until you get ganked. Fly reinforced bulkheads instead of platings. This way they won't assume Slaves and they'll make a 100 till 140 k EHP (depending on freighter flown) miscalculation.
Remember obvious tank is obvious, never be obvious. |

Links do not need to be obvious. Some random command ship just kind of traveling in same direction. Webs are harder to hide. Put some gallente ecm on web and links in spare slots. Here, sanity... niiiice sanity, come to daddy... okay, that's a good sanity... *THWONK!* GOT the bastard. |

Freighter continues being bumped
Second wave of catalysts warp in
You lose an even bigger pinata. Congratulations. |

As I've said elsewhere, slaves are a bad implant for freighters and IMHO won't save you. But if you're going to do, fly a standard hull-tank freighter and hide your links. |

As a Fenrir pilot, the best way to gank proof your ship is to not get caught. When you're caught, and bumped by multiple Machariels, its only a matter of time before you're dead, regardless of tank. Go with 3 inertia stabs, agility implants and a webber, instant warps without even having time to lock on is the way to go IMO. Also, be smart, scout your route and if ANYTHING is suspect, dock up and wait it out. That to me is the most gank proof freighter. |

If you know where the gankers are then the best defence is not going there; get a JF or go around. |

If they want you, they are going to scan you, do some easy math and then pop you.
Best bet is to keep what will probably drop in your wreck less than it is worth to pop you.
Most ganks are for profit, so if they can't meet the margin on your wreck, then they won't pop you.
As an example - a lot of mission boats get popped. The number of t2 fit ravens that get ganked is pretty low compared to the officer / X-type fit pimp mobiles. |

Most gank proof freighter is any freighter escorted by an alt in a web range bonused ship.
If not, Providence with Kinetic/Thermic/Adaptive A-Type Plating and high-grade slave set. Escorted by 2+ Nestors, max tanked, all reps in highs (you only need cap for 21 seconds).
Really though.... web alt.

I say as a fit because you can you still lose connection at the absolute worst time / suck at basic awareness and get shot without hardeners active. |
