What exactly is wrong with countering a fleet with a fleet of your own?
Uh - maybe some of us don't have a fleet and want to play solo. Like I'd guess 90% of the freighter pilots want to fly it solo. So what are you saying - we should all bow down to a bunch of yahoo gankers in Uedama because you think we should have fleets coming out of our butts to make it more balanced when you use a bunch of cheap dessies to take down a billion ISK freighter? Or maybe we should make a freighter a FREIGHTER and make HI-SEC a place where new players, solo players, and Industrialists can feel relatively safe while all the yahoo cheap dessy pilots can go gank in low-sec or nul-sec where they really belong?
I highlighted your problem here. I WANT to be able to 1-2 jump my carrier to empire to ferry stuff around like I could for YEARS. Now, after a patch I'm 6 jumps deep in null sec and have to wait out jump fatigue every jump unless i want to wait longer next time.
CCP doesn't balanced the game based on what you 'want' to do, it balances stuff based on what's best for the game. No one is forcing you to use this ship. if you do use it and want to protect it, you need to stop being solo (like I did, now i have to ask people for cynos to get to to and from empire with ships, or hire a jump freighter). Simple as that. |

That's a significant number of dead freighters....as opposed to essentially complete safety using a BS with cloak + MWD...why would I switch to a Bowhead when I am completely safe now?
The answer is "you shouldn't". only the completely entitled mind could think "new ship, ccp should give everyone a reason to use it without risk".
When I move to a new focus I nano+buffer fit my mach and put my mach's shiny fit in an UNSCANNABLE Prorator (or double wrap it and put in in a orca so I can also bring a Basi plus all my ammo).
If someone is dumb enough to put shiny Incursion fit ships in a scannable ship, they should pay for being dumb.

So what you're saying here is that all the freighter pilots and there is a good majority of them right now who fly solo - shouldn't be entitled to it - and YOU should be entitled to gank them in cheap dessies because no one is forcing them to fly a freighter.
I don't gank, im a pve player. No on is 'entitled' to anything.

That's just silly. Yeah - I want to fly a freighter solo - AND SO DO A GOOD MAJORITY OF PLAYERS IN THE GAME RIGHT NOW.
Too bad.

The problem is not freighter pilots wanting to fly solo - the problem is a bunch of yahoo gankers in Uedama who are not taking much risk while they gank billion+ ISK ships in cheap dessies. That's the problem.
You can come up with your irrational arguments all you want. But dude - no one is going to be flying around in fleets in hi-sec just to make your gank squad happy. It just isn't going to happen.
I don't care what makes gankers happy. I care about playing a sandbox game that doesn't coddle people like you as if it were a themepark game. No one is forcing you to do anything. |

Every single ship in EVE works better when used in a group.
Also a bit disingenuous. A freighter can't physically hold more cargo when its used with a group.
No it can't. it CAN however move 12 times faster (webbing frigate) with more EHP (links) while having help if it gets ganked (reps). |

Small drone bay would even make this ship capable of repairing other ships outside the maintenance bay. Or even limited self defence. Why only hauling other ships?? In a hull like that, there should be secondary and tertiary activity build in for a limited small scale support. Another way to 'break free of the empires', etc, etc. A 25/75 bay for Logi Drones might be a nice touch without meaningfully improving its defence. But then I guess you could say the same for a high for an Improved Cloak, in the end you could lump all sorts of **** onto this for all kinds of reasons. Oooh, that gave me an idea (not a sarcastic one either)... The Bowhead could be allowed to repair other ships and make it a floating garage. Ships in the SMB could be right-click repaired by the pilot - including module overheat damage.
Like this from another game universe? :)
