The HInt (how about that?) with its i-win ray of uberness is a true sign of incompetence and stupidity in my eyes. Never before has CCP done something so idiotic. And I say this as a, then very annoyed, eye witness of the crap they pulled off with the T15+5 issue.
I am (besides other professions) a trader, regularly running "smuggler" routes into low-sec. Its a risky job, giving lots of fun. Sometimes you win (outsmart a camp or manage to avoid them) sometimes you loose.
With the planned changes, there is nothing, an industrial pilot could do to pass any gatecamp, besides those of total noobs not able to fly a HInt. The trade routes between high-sec and low-sec will effectively be broken. Everyone telling us industrial pilots to adapt (or spilling wisdom like "wcs is for sissys anyhow") has obviously never really done any trading between these regions. Or is just generally clueless.
There is no way to force me into low-sec or 0.0. As it is now, I will just loose part of what makes eve fun to me and stop going there. Well, thats the way the cookie crumbles. Encouraging people to go there is done differently.
To whoever had this brilliant idea at CCP: EPIC FAIL! Please go away and get yourself a job you are acutally fit for, instead of breaking our gaming experience and needlessly ruining our fun. I hear the iclandic whaleing fleet might have open positions for potato peelers.

I'll respond to your flame with cool water of logic.
Heavy interdictors have cruiser locking time, a blockade runner fitted properly will get past it. Since this ship and friends would be a blockade, thats not too unbalanced really and represents a significant isk/training/organisation cost. Your ordinary 500k isk industrials will not make it though. Tough. Use the safer high sec routes.
To reply to your cool logic, true probably the blockade runner can make it most of the time (even if the HIC can be easily sensor boosted), but all the other ships from cruiser up can't.
So anyone wanting to do something different from a fast trade run will need a large sized fleet to do it, and that mean more blobbing as pirates will do the same.
End result: some large blob and gatecamp, the rest of low sec barren.
I thought the problem with Hactors is that it allows less people to be as effective at camping? In 0.0, there are dictor bubbles that make it impossible to escape a lot of the time, and 0.0 is not empty.
If all there were were large camps, you can avoid those. Don't fly alone in low sec or 0 sec. It will get you killed. This is true now, it will be true in the future. This is not ******* WOW.
Also, less MOMs solo camping in low sec. That will be great.
