Better off hauling in something that can avoid bumping like a brick tanked battleship, and using courier contracts for bigger loads. As you can all plainly see, Veers is very much concerned with big loads, and who takes them. How mature.  Mature or not, your suggestion that a brick-tanked battleship can 'avoid bumping' any better than a freighter can is pretty silly.
BS does have more options. MJD, MWD+Cloak or just heaps of i-stabs and nanos.
Though of course a DST can also fit that sort of stuff (or tank to 150K plus EHP with overheat) and carry more like 60K cargo and would generally be a better choice than a battleship. |

EVE certainly has the reputation of the game of choice if what you enjoy doing is band up with your mates from school and harass random people until they quit some game or other in tears - and it seems pretty clear a percentage of new players every month join for exactly that reason.
It is unlikely that a large proportion of the people freighter bumping are doing this. It actually looks more like just another example of CODE strutting around like brown shirts and pumping their epeen. |

How is it "harassment" if it's a legitimate gameplay activity? Like I said, peoples' intentions aren't for you to judge. Well, you have the right to, but no one capable of rational thought is going to view your stance as anything but subjective.
It is objective because I know the people in real life and I know what they say out of game and what they plan as well as the innocent denial they spin in game and in forums :D Most of them are real life TT gaming associates and generally younger and part of D&D/Pathfinder/40K gaming groups I help run.
For example one group (who all went to the same boys boarding school in my local town) chose to pursue a 17 year old girl in WoW because they were able to identify her new WoW character from her out of game social media. They managed to "befriend her" out of game giving her advice and commiserating with her about being bullied whilst continually spawn camp/stalking her in game until she quit.
NOW .. I never said the people freighter bumping where of this type, just that these people DO exist in EVE - because I know some of them personally. I think freighter bumping is a sign CODE have too many wanna be PvPers with too much time on their hands than anything else.
