Tri killed a freighter in hisec today carrying about 5bil in ships n mods using 7 bs and 5 bc. Was wondering if there's been anyone to kill a freighter with fewer ships. Seems bloody dangerous these days to fly a freighter if it only takes a dozen or so insured ships to loot its burning wreck.

Nice work. I foresee many more people trying this, if it takes so few ships...

why ppl don't carry expensive things in cans i have no idea.
the last gank i heard about was around 15 domis, sounds like this is one of the fewest.

I have been told the bug that prevented can scanning was fixed a few months ago, so it makes no difference.
Does seem a bit one sided that such a small fleet can take down a freighter in high sec sapce.
IMHO insurance should not pay out if you lose your ship to concord, that would shift the balance a little. Space For Rent.

perhaps if it was in a can with a password on it they wouldn't be able to loot it?

they could then just repackage it.
im wondering... i heard there was a bug, that sentry drones fire on after the ship that launched them went kerrrpow from concord.
any details on boarderline exploits involved in this ongoing freighter gankage?

Agreed TBH. Or any Faction Police / Sentry or Station fire, for that matter.

Yes, but if the can pops, do does everything in it. Or did they change that, as well? ----------------------------------------------- Could someone tally how many times this topic has been beat to death? |

I believe drones deliver the primary dps. This has been true since the first hisec gank. As to cans, their contents are delivered all or nothing based on the coin toss of whether the can survives.

On 21 June 2007 9 Veto pilots killed a freighter in low sec partially under sentry fire. Gang consisted of: 1xAstarte 1xNighthawk 1xMunin 1xVaga 2xHurricanes 1xVexor 1xEnyo 1xFlycatcher (don't ask ) 1xBlackbird
And an excellent covops pilot probed him after logoffski 
Video should be available on Veto public forums.
Your loot was far better though.

In my times in infod on a previous character we killed a freighter in lowsec at a station with 3 BC. It's nothing to be proud of.
Highsec ganking either tbh. The loss on the part of the gankers is very small.

lol @ dude bragging about some veto. gang he was in popping a freighter in lowsec under sentry fire. There were ten of you and you call that a feat? Quite a while back Xonja and I popped one in ama under sentries with just her myrmi and my deimos - at a gate with just the sentries cycling aggro between her and I. It took a long time to bring the freighter down. Of course they didn't drop any loot then, and I sometimes wish that they still didn't. I think that suicide ganking is pretty weaksauce tbh.
I never really thought the two of us killing that dude's freigter was that great of an accomplishment. Guess I'm more nber than I thought?
Just kidding - I always knew I was nber.  --

I organised a gang of 13 for a freighter suicide hit in highsec for a client, but it was both before the concord boost and it was all BS, so not nearly as good as the one the OP refers to.
Anyway my main point is that I used to agree with those here that suggest that insurance should not pay out from a CONCORD death. However I have now changed my opinion because I suspect there are a large number of accidental deaths to concord (think mission runners in npc corps). The hassle of having all of these losses petitioned as a mistake could do more harm than the good caused by suicide attackers not getting insurance.

Either pay out insurance to all or have no insurance whatsoever. Too much trouble for accidental deaths to concorde and if insurance is removed then it removes the price floor for ships (ie., cheap bs and bc if the market is oversupplied as no one will suicide ships for insurance if it isn't there).
That's a nice cluttered post.

Insurance for highsec losses should be like 1 month from start of player... You cant really get a 1 month old player in a battleship, with enough support skills, to gank a freighter... well, it MIGHT be possible... but all that work!

Ganking freighters in high sec is impossible, concord is the ruler and protector of all. This thread is lies, all lies.

Closing you cargo window blocks the scanner. All you cargo is safe to haul in an untanked ship on autopilot. Do not worry about the ships locking you and scanning your ship they just want to give you a hug.
