I think it just became worth suiciding 20 battleships in Jita.

Now people will have to grow a brain and get an escort when they're moving a fortune 
I think alts will be better. Use one to scout ahead. Dont go to gates where 20 battleships are sitting. If they have to warp in to gank the hauler, it will take some time and will make coordinating the attack a little harder.
Even if they have escorts of 5-6 battleships, they wont be able to stop the attack on the freighter since everybody is suiciding anyway. Also, the lag will make the battle almost unplayable.
Even if the escort would try to target jam the ships to prevent damage (before they fire off their alpha-strikes), concord would attack them and kill them.

Raven's will get off at least two vollies before being destroyed even in 1.0 (takes around 30 to 35 seconds for concord to respond and take out a tech 1 equiped raven in 1.0)
Talk about seriously ending the game for the smaller groups/corps who operate in empire :(
- Ganking in empire is far too easy
- It costs the pirates far too little with too high a reward
Adding Frieghters to the list of viable targets in empire is in my opionion a very bad idea, at least when they didn't leave loot it made it pointless to blow them up unless it was personal.
Also if the pirates have the bpo for the ships, it will be cheap gankage.

So 15 Armageddons/Ravens at the gate, another 10 industrials to get the loot, 20 more freelance industrials drawn by the waiting gank squad, 30 frigates full of expanders drawn by the waiting gank squad, 20 Stabbers full of expanders drawn by the waiting gank squad and another 10-50 ships wondering what's going on or come to see what gets ganked.
I have no doubt a freighter suicide gank will happen. They might not be common, but someone will do it just for fun of it.
To the people who think it will take 3 billion iskies and are telling people to do the math, i suggest not thinking corporations will pay 100 mill isk per Raven. Some of them have the bpo and i also think basic insurance covers the mineral costs for a new one. This makes the whole thing quite cheap.
