the game is broken when it comes to suicide ganking in empire PERIOD. Never once seen a single valid arguement or defense for the current mechanics regarding suicide ganking.
Look if eve is supposed to be risky and dangerous then it should be that way for EVERYONE, and CCP needs to adjust concord or ships armour/hp so that you need to actually use good fittings and ships worth more than a pile of beans to suicide gank. Right now EVE is 100% NOT RISKY NOR DANGEROUS for suicide gankers why are they exempt from that rule but everyone else is subject to it?
sorry empire is not ment to be 100% safe but it also isnt ment to be AS DANGEROUS as 0.0. Right now provided you want to use cheap insured ships you can have open PVP anywhere in eve CLEARLY that was NOT the point when they decided to create security status.
Hopefully CCP will get a clue soon and make some changes NOT to eliminate suicide ganking but to make it risky, to make it dangerous and to make it have possible consequences. something everyone else in eve is supposed to deal with minus suicide ganker atm.

also in this case we can see an obvious EXPLOIT using trial acconts to suicide gank. CCP should look up the account used to take your loot track your loot and BAN all involved accounts while refunding this guy his money.

What is the legit purpose of scanning another ship in high sec space you are not ganged with or in the same corp?
anyone?
buller?
buller?
Oh wait there is none, it is purely a hostile action designed for alts that want no risk phat isk or alts that are in dummy or alt corps during a war dec to gain info by scanning ship fittings of the opposing side to have an advantage.
Make scanning ships in high sec an aggressive behavior and treated as such with kill rights. Would go a long way to killing two weak game mechanics in play in high sec all the time. Technically they legit tatics but then there is no risk at all for the alts that are sitting there doing the scanning all day long.
Bingo this is the right answer I have no idea why the hell scanning someone elses ship is NOT a hostile action it makes ZERO sense.

But it's also up to the player to make it difficult and risky, not just CCP. If he had been using a tanked Myrmidon or Drake (never mind a Megathron or even a Freighter) to move his items, then they'd have barely scratched his shields, and lost their investment in ganking him, such as it was.
Sensible player -> large effort required, high risk of losing a lot of ISK for no gain
Foolish player -> minimal effort required, low risk of losing very little ISK for no gain
CONCORD provide consequences, not safety; only you can do that.
This is just stupid and you know it. Stop trying to sugest that it is follish to use a hauler to dare we say it haul... what is follish is that CCP in their poorly thought out wisdom decided to make haulers a ship with no other purpose other than transporting goods one of the weakest ships when it comes to tanking dmg when in reality they should have very strong defenses since they have zero offense.
Please let's avoid arguements that basically say don;t use hauler to haul and you should use battleships to haul!

You're such a wuss that you want CONCORD to shoot people for even looking at you. What makes you think your foolishness deserves any consideration?
It isn't looking at you it is scanning your ship to find out a variety of things to give them an advantage to decide on if they will engage you, it can be used to determine the value of your ship/cargo or to determine what resists you have or other important information about your set up.
I guess you are such a wuss you are scared someone might initiate combat on you if you scan them?

I'm going for my lunch in a minute, and I'll be walking through a car park. I'll be able to look through windows of quite a few cars. Should I be shot in case I'm a laptop thief...?
Hahaha nice try but you need to think a little harder on this analogy. Looking through windows is fine, and in eve you have that same abilty right click and select look at ship. Scanning is more akin to opening up the hood, glove box's, and anything else inside a parked car.
also while I agree you shouldn;t be shot at for looking in car windows for being a potential laptop theif, make no mistake if you walk down the street peering into every single car parked and a cop is told about it there is a good chance you will be stopped at the very least for suspected misbehavior and at the worst case I watch you do it and when you get to my car I kick your arse. you know why? Because the only reason people peer into every car they pass is to search for something of value to besure it is worth breaking into.....

I don't think there's imbalance with standard tech1 haulers; Obviously they trade defensive ability for larger cargo capacity. Take a look at transport ships: much more costly, better defenses, lower capacity. Freighters: cost a fortune, crazy capacity, zero defenses.
Gee and here I thought giving up all offense was the reasonable trade for cargo ships....but now they should have to give up all offense and all defense? Sorry I think giving up all offense is a pretty balanced trade off there is no reason that haulers should have near zero defense and be paper thin as well. Oh ya lets no forget they also give up speed...
I mean the premise of the game is no where is safe...why would anyone not have developed haulers with strong shields and armour knowing this in the eve universe... It would be like having battleships with 1 high slot...that could only fit a t1 small turret.
Like I am said I am not opposed to suicide ganking, I am opposed to rediculesly low risk, easily done suicide ganking... you cant even do a farking level 2 mission in the ships people are using to suicide gank lets be real here. If you wanna suicide gank you should have to put something on the line like everyone else in eve does.
