Suggestion: Add ECM burst to all freighters.
This would solve the problem domi gangs killing freighters with their drones (after aggroing, concord jams your ship but your drones keep chewing that freighter to pieces).
If freighter pilot is not afk, (s)he could activate ECM burst to get rid of drone aggro.
After this change, freighters would become pretty much immune to high sec ganks if war is not declared.
Ofcourse theres minor problem with this. If you activate ECM burst and hit neutral ship with it, concord will also pop your freighter :p
flame, discuss, whatever. --- Get rid of those *bleep*ing secure containers. *bleep*! |

well, instead of adding something that's not very useful, maybe they should remove something - why do the drones stay active when the ship is destroyed and with it the controls for those drones?

What's wrong in high sec freighter ganking? If you don't carry many *** in cargo noone will atack you. And if you have valuable cargo then get an escort.

escort can do nothing for you when suicide ganked.. besides it is an exploit, the system was not meand for this... my concern is to WHY concord don't pwned the drones ?! O.o i mean theyre inty's would take a drone out in 5 sec.
and yer, drones should lose target if the ship loses it's target, anything else seems wierd if it is the ship that controls them.. or atleast when the ship dies..
the easy'st way to the whole problem would ofcouse be "in high sec not in deepspace (thereby not in a mission or ganking a mission) you are permanent jammed by concord for security reasons

Cease insurance payouts on "death by concord" or fix the insurance to reflect current mineral prices. Suiciding with a T1 fitted Domi on full insurance is pretty much a break even financially, anything that drops is instant profit.
If it's going to cost you, you'll pick your targets better.

Suicide ganking is NOT an exploit. Escort CAN prevent this, just noone is using escort in high sec freighter runs. For example, You can use smartbombs against drones. Insurance must be based on base price because otherwise the system would be exploitable and unstable. Removing insurance payout after concordoken, would harm thousands of newbies who get concordokened by accident and lack of knowlege. Suicide ganking freighters is a legitimate way to fight 0.0 alliance enemies when they atempt to keep their industry safe and warm in empire space, not poor empire merchants :)

The Problem is that theres alot of freighter pilots that instead of building and selling in their own region, decide to fill up the freighter and set the autopilot for jita before going to bed for the night.... , this is bad for the game as it promotes the use of jita as a super trade hub rather than people selling locally, its also a little unfair on the people that actually play the game rather than going afk.
My solution would simply be to give freighters a 'defensive mode' similar to a dreads 'seige mode' , once activated it would raise all the freighters resistance stats and shield recharge rate, however the freighter would then be stuck in space for 10mins until it could move again..
This would promote frieghter pilots actually being awake while they fly, leaving afk pilots still vulnerable, and because of the 10min movement penalty it also leaves the freighter vulnerable in low-sec and 0.0, it saves the freighter in hi-sec, without making it immune anywhere else.
