It seems people where I am trading, people have drawn unwanted attention from some alliances who do not want supplies delivered to certain areas of Empire. I have yet to lose a major load, but this cuts back on my profits and ability to move goods. I believe I know who those people are who are behind this. But I am just a trader and industrialist, I don't have a capital fleet handy to protect myself. I don't want to name names, or even the region this is happening, for fear of further attacks, but please stop attacking empire haulers. I live primarily in empire because most 0.0 corps are taskmasters who take the fun out of the game for Industrialists. We have no interest in your war, and only want to do what we do in Empire.
This kind of interdiction which attacks ALL haulers is excessive. I notice we are not the only Empire Industrialists being griefed. I see the broken haulers all the time along these routes and the situation is getting worse. Even a freighter load of trit might be a target now. Much of what is going on is pirates, but I have been doing a little bit of intel work, mostly by cataloging bios, and tracking gangs and seeing who is working with each other, that seems to show its not just piracy. I believe that some of what is going on is part of a campaign to kill off suppliers in that area to deny access to resources, with a bonus of pirate loot for the attacker. As far as I can see that seems to be the goal for at least some of these attacks. The freighter take downs of neutral parties are particularly disturbing (although we thankfully haven't had a loss of that kind). I don't think it is appropriate to gank people who don't side with your 0.0 alliance who live in Empire who are completely neutral. This mostly affects people who have absolutely nothing to do with your war, which are empire corps, miners, missioners and so on. There are 85% of eve citizens who live in Empire and don't want to be a part of your war.
I fully understand if you need to attack alts from other alliances. But don't attack neutral parties.
Alliances that pledge not to attack neutral empire haulers, please sign this post.

Some people do it for fun...sorry that idea is lost on you
This is kind of the same argument where a 20day old guy says he should not be killed in low sec. He claims he is not threat to anyone, and should be allowed to do what he likes...risk free

I am a neutral party in empire. You get a .5 security reduction to shoot at me. My cargo hold is empty. Why would you shoot at me?

They shoot you because they dont know whats in your cargohold. everybody shoot haulers, you know why? because there is zero risk, and you never know which one is going to drop an estamel invuln or a t2 bpo.
everybody hopes for that perfect hauler score, and always will. -

I am not kidding. To see ships get taken down when there is no economic benefit, and a long hard standings grind to get standings back, does not make any sense unless it has a war purpose. What triggered my looking deeper into this was getting shot at with an empty hold. No pirate shoots at an empty hauler in empire. If I hadn't been warp stabbed I would have died, I was already into structure when I was able to warp to station. How do you explain something like that?

Its happened more than once to people I know, all in the same area, cargo under 100 million, getting attacked, or things like minerals. Its not coincidence, its not an accident. I fly past the pirates in Uedama who run a gank machine, they don't take down these kinds of targets. It doesn't make any sense.

Good question. What can you do? Be aware that our supplies, are your supply line link to Empire, and it CAN be cut through this kind of warfare. What happens if ships and modules stop flowing at the same time your home systems are being attacked and your services are being knocked off line? What happens if trit and POS fuel stops getting delivered to your doorstep? Empire is a lifeline to any alliance under stress. You kill empire, you kill 0.0. As far as what you can do, keep the major wars in 0.0. Don't make it my problem.

Surely you jest. 0.0 is anything but self sufficient. They have vast piles of isk that goes towards buying huge quantities of empire goods. Empire provides the surge capacity that makes alliances viable when they need to fight a war. If that is true that 0.0 is self sufficient, then who is buying all of my stuff? Its not mission runners. Its not small corps/alliances in empire.

Thats funny, even if its bringing supplies you need to survive in your current war? Being a goon, you must know you have tremendous industrial capacity. You must also know you don't have anything close to what you need to operate at current levels. If someone were to choke off your empire supplies, you would be forced to divert massive manpower to industry, and you don't have an industrialist culture in your alliance to put it bluntly. You would not be able to sustain your current war. You need empire more than anyone.

We have a full T1 and T2 ship production capability, as well as full T1 and T2 modules (when BPC's are available). There has never been a shortage of anything for us. Having a large industrial backround gives us this flexibility, and we've got nothing on the might of any of the larger alliances. ________ "It's a good day to die!"
