Now, there's a small chance that this is NOT making it in, as there is no mention of it on the patch notes ... but it is now feasible to blow up freighters for all sorts of financial or tactical purposes on Sisi.

Good change. That'll make things much more interesting for those able to put together a sizable gank squad for fun and profit.

So this is CCP's master plan of cashing in, as everybody and their dog will instantly be training up an army of alts ;p

If this comes in I think it is high time they put in Remote Hull Reps in. No idea why they have been left out all this time as is. Not like anyone would hull tank except maybe a Freighter since that is all it really has is a lot of hull. Not to mention the staggering cost of having to pay to repair a badly damaged Freighter.

Heres an awesome idea... Lets make ships in freighters drop as bubble wrapped... todays navys (hell those of the past too...) bubble wrap their planes to stop them getting pooned by nasty conditions while in transport.. it would make sense to not have 90000000 fully set up ships -components just sitting in a freighter.
The ships then drop in the wreck as Packaged crow x 500 instead of exploding tranquility...
The only problem is BS's... maybe this needs to be changed so that they can be assembled from the wreck 1 at a time or something... because its kinda hard to fit one in a hauler.
Other than that woot!...
Do concord ECM drones now? I heard they've patched it since the bob alt freighter got ganked by phoons and domis... suprised anyone?

This is cool.
I would like to offer my services to anyone thinking of going in to the freighter ganking business. not only can dish the damage I can also fly any ship thats going to drop out of a freighter. Maybe it's time for Guns N Hoses to go into the salvage business.    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Great more wardec exploits to gank freighters.
Spot freighter, Wardec, retract wardec. Instant war to gank freighter.
Now they have a reason to exploit, other than to be a pain.

where are the 27K come from, since teh wreck, the convoy can drop 25M of trit in ... 1 wreck, so i dont think all the freighter can put his stuff in 1 wreck. ____________________________________________ For all you'r Map & Data madness : http://eve.galop-spatial.com |

.. i really hope it doesn't take them that long to fix this "feature" as it took them to semi-fix the log-off problem ___________________

Doesn't really help high security though ahwell i guess there are enough people there that would happely pilot the ships once word goes out a freighter popped dropping loads of ships.

Dont you mean Spot freighter, wait 24 hours for vote to end, then wardec?

apparently not.
Allegedly there is an exploit being used to gain an instant wardec in order to gank freighters in high sec. Obviously, due to forum rules, I'm not gonna go into details. --------------------------------------------

Sable is correct. Which is why it's an exploit. It gets you an instant 24 hour war where you can then gank the freighter.
No waiting, just pick a target then kill it 60 seconds later.

Not quite, you still have to wait 24 hours for the vote.

Is it just me or, if Freighters are profitably gankable they should get modual slots ?

I highly doubt there's an exploit to circumvent the 24 hour vote delay.
There might be a way to make the war instantly active once the vote is over - that I would believe.

No - they have huge cargo.

yes which now makes them a huge easy target, espeically now that there will be something to gain.
I just think its kinda rediculous that its a ship worth almost a billion isk and it has no slots at all, the thing should get 2 high slots capable of fitting Large weapons. 2 to 3 mid and 2 to 3 low, ( cargo expanders have no effect)

The voting for the wardec still takes 24 hours.

No need to wardec. Get together a group like Outbreak did and suicide a freighter for 400M ISK.
Chances are the loot will be stellar.
Also, fill a freighter up with frigs, keep it at a POS insured. When dreads show up, suicide the freighter. Out pops all those frigs, lag kicks in, dreads die. Freighters are fleet assets now.
Horrible idea that will grind industry to a halt and create lagclusterbombs.

Was trying to not give too much info about the 'exploit'. Perhaps CCP will now finally fix it.
