Teckos Pech wrote:If every freighter pilot were as prudent as RFF we would not observe the current ganking rate for RFF. Which may or may not be true. Which do you believe it to be? Do you think that an RFF pilot is more likely to be chosen as a target and more likely to be ganked if there were no pilots flying around like big floating targets screaming "gank me"? I can;t say for certain, but I'd take a pretty good estimate that RFF would suddenly find themselves at the end of more crosshairs, and since you can't make an ungankable freighter, the chances are they would lose more ships.
Teckos Pech wrote:No, he is pointing out that prudence when flying a freighter can reduce risk as we see with RFF. No, that's not what he's pointing out at all. If he were simply saying "flying smarter reduces your chages of being ganked" there would be no argument, but the problem is he's saying RFF get ganked X% of the time therefore the chances of losing a hauler to a gank are X% unless you are stupid". He then uses that as a reason to give a relative nerf to freighters.
Teckos Pech wrote:There is no need to buff the EHP of freighters to insulate those who are imprudent. CCP Fozzie's "justification" is nothing short of stupid errant nonsense. Not a huge need, no, but freighters are out of line with other capitals anyway, ganking is pretty damn easy and cheap, and since it's a such a mundane and unrewarding task (so much so that CCP have already laid out plans to get NPC doing it) that giving them a bit more of a buffer I fully support. I definitely don;t see any reason to buff every ship around them and purposely exclude them.
Teckos Pech wrote:You are quite wrong Really, it shocks me that you of all people would claim unilaterally that I am wrong. Oh wait, no it doesn't. I could claim water is wet and you'd go into a 15 page rant about how wrong I am.
Yes, they have evidence, flawed evidence, incomplete evidence, irrelevant evidence possible even made up evidence as RFF put their own figures on there.
Still though, doesn't make a blind bit of difference because it's all off topic and the change is coming regardless. Gankers saying "but we'll need to put in marginally more effort" are unlikely to get anywhere.

After we take into account the 33% resists added to ships we can see that the new DCU II will get 12.5% to shields, 15% to armour and 40% to structure. End result is... the same as we have now. Not really though, is it. Because now I can kit out a ship with more damage for example and keep a 33% resist buffer on my hull. That's clearly not the same. Ofthe thousands of different fitting choices being made each day I have no doubt that some of them will no longer have a DCU. Whether that would be your choice is irrelevant because different people have different limits on what they want each of their ships stats to be.

you need to learn how the hull resist from a damage control is even applied i don't have the exact math but the 33% and the 40% will not add up to 73% it will prolly be under the current 60% we get now. One example is when a marauder uses a damage control with bastion you do not get 30% + 60% instead of 90% you get something closer to 72%. some ships for some tasks will in many cases be better offer swapping the DCU II out for something that the pilot was already considering anyway. sure a vast majority of ships will still be using the DCU with very little change except a slight decrease in their hull ehp since the shield/armor portion isnt changing.
as for all this RFF stats applies to the general public that is like taking an alley that is a high traffic short cut for people during the day when its light out and lots around so criminals are afraid to do anything to late at night when its dark and very few around then the criminals jump and mug people passing through. same logic applies to RFF and the general freight population RFF just avoids the dangerous alley (gank pipes) when the gankers are active limits their cargo value and fits tank. this is actually simple logic that people employ in real life to avoid dangerous areas to protect their purse/wallet. so of course RFF lose less freighters it is called being smart. real life trucking routes of high value goods avoid areas where the risk of being hi-jacked is high hmm i wonder why they would do such a thing....
before you automatically use stats as a general application you should prolly realize that never works. |

Now you have moved the goal posts. Now instead of everyone flying prudently only RFF is flying freighters.
This is even more unbelievable that everyone flying prudently. It is also a stupid hypothetical that nobody should pay any attention to because it is like coming up with a hypothetical where gravity no longer works.

It is the same thing. Flying smart is flying prudently. Flying stupid is flying imprudently.

Its adds up to ever so slightly less than today. Not enough to make any real difference.

Nobody said they were additive. But irrespective you'll probably want one, at least in PvP.
Let's say that with native resists and a DC the hull resists go to 55% (this is lower than it currently is). To derive hull EHP you would divide your hull HP by 1-.55 or 0.45.
So if you had 1,000 hull HP you'd have 2,222.
With just the native resists you'd 1,500.
With a DC you 48% more EHP. You'd be foolish not to fit one on a PvP ship, IMO.

Correct. Currently if you fit a DC II to a ship your hull resists will be 60%.
After these changes if you fit a DC II to a ship your hull resists will be 60%, plus all the bonuses to armor and shields.
For example, using a megathron with the following armor modules:
Adaptive Nano Plating II Armor Explosive Hardener II Armor Kinetic Hardener II Armor Thermic Hardener II 1600mm Steel Plates II 1600mm Steel Plates II
The EHP will be 120,286.5
Adding on an additional Mag Stab II moves the DPS from 473 to 566 or a 19.6% increase in DPS.
However, removing the additional Max Stab II and putting in a DC II we get 148,042 EHP or a 23% increase in EHP.

now:
Hull-HP divided by 0.4 ( which is equal to 1- 60 % hull resistance) = 2.50 ehp
after patch: Hull-HP multiplied by 1.33 and divided by 0.6 (1 - 40 % hull resistance) = 2.22 ehp

I am not refuting anything baltec1 has written. He is merely making the point: RFF flies smart...they hardly fail a contract. Implication: Fly smarter you'll be ganked less.
Your hypothetical fantasy is where only RFF is flying freighters. Which is stupid and useless.

No. Check your formula.
1 - (1-native resists)*(1-module resists).
If you add a second module of the same type you'll also have to factor in stacking penalties. Since you can only fit on DC at a time, stacking penalties are not a factor.

Your math is wrong.
Here, whip out EFT, and try your formula with armor resists and check it against EFT.

I know there's quote limits, so the rest of your quotes I'm just going to italicize.
You're making an assumption that requires multiple targets of otherwise equal value to be present at the same time, where the gankers just decide not to attack one freighter because they magically know the packages inside the NPC-pilot's cargo are from RFF. This isn't the case and it's unreasonable to assume such a case. Freighters pass through chockepoints all the time with no other freighters coming through the pipe. These areas are busy, but they're not Jita Undock busy at all times. There are many times RFF-involved freighters are the only ones on grid, and they still don't get hit. Why? Because they put in an amount of effort that dramatically raises the amount of effort gankers have to put in to achieve a kill (or profit from it). It's really that simple.
because pilots who aren't in RFF which we don't have stats for are likely killed at a much higher rate
You can double or triple a trivial base number, and you end up with a Dilbert comic that did this exact thing. When you make yourself the butt of a joke Dilbert did about ten years ago, you're know you're not on the right track.
I can quite happily dismiss the data without any problems thanks.
And you can also quite happily say the Earth is flat and the Sun revolves around you. You'd be just as correct doing so and look just as smart for making that assertion. If you dismiss facts out of hand and say you live in your own reality where facts aren't real but your own gut instincts are, why do you think you deserve to be part of any rational or reasonable discussion among adults?
Here a fact for you, it's impossible to make a freighter ungankable short of refusing to undock it
And? Why is that a problem for you? Why is that something that needs to be rectified? That is a baseline fact of EVERY ship, from rookie ship to titan, that everyone else seems to understand but you. But you bring that specific line up again and again as if it's some sort of strange anomaly that only effects freighters.
Golly gosh, well clearly with you guys being in support of him, he must be right! It's not like you guys band together to attack people who's opinions oppose yours right?
So wait a minute now. Now your argument is that people that share similar opinions tend to agree?
This is an argument, how?
And you're presenting as some sort of conspiracy theory?
Yes, people who share similar opinions on a particular topic tend to, well, agree. Is this a surprise to you? When you opine on something and your friends agree, do you argue with them for the sake of arguing? Would it surprise you to learn that in the real world, lots of people with similar opinions congregate together to create things like political parties?
I thought the absolute height of idiocy was your claim that people are somehow wrong for playing the game right. But now you've managed to take a very basic element of how the real world operates, act shocked and chagrined at this apparent revelation, and then present it as some sort of conspiracy theory against yourself.
Over the course of this thread you've claimed that facts won't change your position once you've taken up an opinion on something, that people playing the game right are to be ignored and the game must continuously be changed to accommodate people who refuse to learn how to play, and that people speaking up with opinions contrary to your own are in on some sort of conspiracy against you. Dude, pack up and go home. You're done here. You have no credibility in this discussion and your connection with reality is now suspect at best.

No I'm not, I just know that gankers will select targets with higher values of isk, not being escorted and having low tank first. They know that such targets exists ad will happily seek them out. If those targets weren't to exist, they would pick less appealing targets through necessity. So what I'm saying is that RFF stats are only achievable through the existence of alternate targets, so if everyone were to play perfectly (the hypothetical situation on which baltec believes the game should be balanced) the achievable level of safety wouldn't reflect the existing RFF stats. Honestly, It's not that hard a concept to understand. Personally I think the game should be balanced more around averages vOv.

Which would be great if the data being provided were a complete picture of the situation, were provably accurate and relevant to the situation. It's like when I see an advert on TV that says 80% of people that use this product love it, followed by smallprint that tells you they asked 5 people. I dismiss that too.

It's not something that needs to be rectified, it;s a good solid part of the game, and even after this change will still exist. The point is that nothing RFF are doing guarantees their safety. Given enough gankers they would lose 100% of the ships they undocked. So effectively what baltec is saying is that because there are a limited number of gankers and because those limited gankers more often choose non-RFF targets that all haulers should be punished and gankers should not have to adapt to changes.
Khan Wrenth wrote:So wait a minute now. Now your argument is that people that share similar opinions tend to agree? No, my argument is that certain people leap into attacking people opposing their arguments without actually providing any content of their own. Turning up to a thread going "you're stupid, lol" doesn't strengthen the argument against me, all it does is show how desperate these people are to save themselves from the very principles in EVE they claim to support. Pretty much if you have to resort to personal attacks in your posts, then it's a sign you're argument sucks, so well done buddy, you've just weakened your argument.

Try half that value. Less than 15 per day in January, and not all of those were to gankers.
Put another way, some 0.6 deaths per hour. Given the number floating about, that is a tiny fraction. |

Then consider how much is made by carrier ratters. Then consider that even though carriers don't even operate in highsec (so all should be exposed much more frequently to risk), then consider that only 26 per day were lost in January. So far for feb, Carriers are 23/day, freighters are 17/day. Throw dreadnaughts in with their 14/day in January and 12/day so far in feb, and this tells us that freighters are destroyed in line with other capital ships, even though most of their losses occur in a section of space designed to increase safety.

After these changes if you fit a DC II to a ship your hull resists will be 60%, plus all the bonuses to armor and shields.
Nope: damage control has a bonus of 60 % to hull, 12.5 % to shield and 15 % to armor RIGHT NOW PRE patch :) Check it ingame :) Damge control provides a bonus to hull, armor and shield right NOW Not after the patch only!
No, your math is wrong. Maybe the resists on the test server are different, but that does not change the fact that you are applying the wrong formula to calculate resists. I have shown how my formula works in two cases, one using a DC, pre and post patch, and also for a thermal armor hardener.
And my numbers post patch do NOT include a 60% resist to hull, but a 40% resist along with the native resists of 33%.

What Morrigan wrote. What we need to look at is the rate of ganking. Also, we need to consider that many of those ganked are flying stupidly (way too much ISK value for the cargo, no scout, no webbing, some even AFK auto-piloting).
Try this. Get an expensive non-freighter ship, put some really blingy modules on it and start having it autopilot back and forth through the pipe from Jita to Dodixie. My guess is if you do it enough, you will get ganked. Because you were dumb. Very, very dumb. In this game being dumb comes with an actual cost.

LOL, yes, let's not compare the loss rates with anything, let's just say how many freighters are killed and then say "that's low because I said it is". Comparing capital ships to other capital ships of similar price isn't even bad. If I were to compare them to loss rates of titans for example then it would be apples to oranges, this is more like comparing granny smiths to golden delicious.

Ratting carriers have nothing in common with freighters. |
