WarMongeer	Posted - 2007.03.20 17:30:00 - [61] Let me make myself just a little bit clearer to the people with armor rep, shield rep, and tanking advice above: Just like regular ships now, freighters (apparently) will drop loot. Unlike regular ships they cannot: 1. repair their own armor 2. repair their own hull What I'm saying is, add some more options. And they have huge structure, even if it is without resists (another good idea might be to just allow them to fit damage controls and forget my whole argument). The IAC guy above is right; armor and shield repping remotely is superior. It should not, however, be the only option, when that much money is at stake.

Celeste Coeval The Gosimer and Scarab	Posted - 2007.03.20 17:33:00 - [64] I disagree shield and armour tanking is sufficent to tank a freighter. "If you are out to describe the truth, leave elegance to the tailor." -Albert Einstein Member of the [UTSFAH] corp.

Kiviar Caldari VorthosCorp	Posted - 2007.03.20 18:04:00 - [69] Oh lord, that freighter didn't even last five seconds. Hoenstly though, if you just fly your freighter around in empire on auto you are asking for it to be blown up, reppers or no.

Hoenstly though, if you just fly your freighter around in empire on auto you are asking for it to be blown up, reppers or no. How is one supposed to defend a freighter in empire, even if you're using warp to zero? They take a minute to get into warp anyways. --23 Member-- EVE-Trance Radio--The EVE Textboard

QVCatullus Gallente Red Eclipse Inc. The Cyrene Initiative	Posted - 2007.03.20 18:08:00 - [73] Is there any reason why there ARE no remote hull reppers? Were they exploited in the past? Given that shields and armor can be repaired remotely, I'd assume that there must be some specific reason that hull can't, otherwise why not just toss them in? They'd probably need to be much slower than armor reppers (because using a standard hull repper is much slower than a standard armor repper) and might not be much use for assisting a tank, so I don't know how much they would help the OP.

There isnÆt anything you can do if you run in to a gank squad like that. If someone wants to blow up your freighter realistically the only thing you can do to keep yourself safe is to have the way ahead of you scouted for traps. Once people you in their sights you are pretty much dead. You would have to be able to fit a pretty impressive tank to be able to stave off a determined attack.
