I would rather just see the freighter ability to loot wrecks removed and reduce the lifetime of freighter wrecks to 15 minutes, since that would considerably reduce the profit margins of freighter ganking. Or lower the drop rate of freighters so that they only drop 5-10% of the stuff they carry.
Alliance logistics need to have vulnerabilities, and as such freighters either need to be targetable in empire, but for the economy to continue working on some level, we need freighters in empire. Maybe just remove concord protection from freighters alltogether?

Quite a few ppl are missing the point of this thread here.
Logistics are an important target in warfare.
The fact that alliance/corp haulers can become invulnerable while hiding in npc corps to avoid war decs, especially if the changes to concord that are on the test server are brought to tq.
The newfound invulnerability of freighters would harm the game a lot more than removing freighters from >0.5 would.
I myself would rather see that npc corp characters could not undock in any ship that cannot be flown with a trial accound would be a lot better a solution, since it would force those corp hopping eeksploiters to corporations that can be wardecd or at least force them to buy logistics from third party logistics corporations.

They'll be just as vulnerable as any other ship to suicide ganking, it's just the way drone boats preform as the ganker is out of whack with what other ships are capable of doing, The threshold for which it's profitable to gank a freighter will just be higher.
The freighters in npc corps are an issue becasue they collectivley controll vast ammounts of the bulk trade in empire, it's a very lucrative isk earner and places the kind of power that people are supposed to be warring over into the hand of people not exposed to risk of wars.
Not quite.
You can gank smaller ships with Smart bomb fitted ships. Freighters have enough hitpoints that the smart bombing ships will blast themselves to bits before the freighter pops.
