            Originally by: Kolmogorow Yesterday I was shot down approaching a gate with a hauler in an empire high-sec system while I was afk smoking at the window. The hauler wasn't worth anything but the cargohold contained stuff worth around 300-400 Mil ISK. Of course I was scanned at the gate by a high-sec pirate (and/or his nearby mate in an industrial/freighter), my stuff was identified as a lot more worth than his battleship and he decided, let's draw an expensive ticket in the ganking lottery.
  I would have ganked you too.
 
   Originally by: Kolmogorow OK, he failed (can happen). He destroyed my hauler,
  That's a contradiction. You exploded = he succeeded.
 
   Originally by: Kolmogorow This is, of course, crap and INACCEPTABLE and can only be the result of a big hole in the game design.
  Looks fine to me. Let me guess, T1 hauler with minimal tanking modules fitted.
 
   Originally by: Kolmogorow So first of all it MUST be possible to afk smoke at the window without risk while flying through high sec. Nobody can really have the patience and expect or wish to sit in front of the screen, mouse clicking and jumping and waiting for alignment of ships with terrible agility over distances of 10 or 20 or whatever solar systems.
  That's just loltastic. Is it unfair that I don't smoke and therefore don't need to afk haul? Nerf non-smokers!
 
   Originally by: Kolmogorow So I need urgently the following alternative changes in the game mechanics:
  Option 1: CONCORD must strike much faster and harder in high sec. Proposal for the storyline background: An ancient paper of the Talocan was discovered describing in detail the construction and deployment of a "wormhole smartbomb" (Note: "The Talocan were masters of Spatial manipulation and Hypereuclidean Mathematics." They were able to do such things!) This nice weapon (controlled only by CONCORD) works like the following: As soon as someone fires the first missile or blaster particle or bullet at a high sec gate a detector installed inside the gate takes notice of that, constructs a wormhole leading directly into the hostile ship, deploys a smartbomb with almost infinite destructive power through that wormhole and blows up the ship. At the same time the wormhole sucks the fired ammunition back before it can reach the attacked ship which will stay happy without a single scratch. All this must work with faster-than-light speed to take also laser guns into account which isn't really a problem for the Talocan. (Note: The Talocan could build technology "even though the scientific theories behind them remain a mystery". Yes, there are things between heaven and earth we cannot understand!)
  Option 2: I need an Autopilot-Warp-To-Zero option together with a Autopilot-Cloaked-Alignment-And-Immediate-Warp-After-Decloaking capability. I don't care if this is bound to a module or skill. I will buy the BPO, build the module and train the skill to level 5.
  lol
 
   Originally by: Kolmogorow As far as both options allow me to afk smoke at the window it doesn't matter for me which one is choosen.
  Are you for real?
 
   Originally by: Kolmogorow Because I cannot imagine that anyone (especially the window smokers) will disagree (pirates could still hunt in the middle between two gates waiting for ships with low capacitor capacity coming out of warp directly in front of them - with a little luck), so you only need to sign this petitionlike request for an early implementation in one of the next patches. (If necessary the Trinity patch can be postponed.)
  Thank you in advance!
  Don't haul a load so expensive that it invites suicide gankers. Break it up. Alternatively, since you're so willing to train skills, use a transport ship. Tank it out. I broke my teeth on a transport ship over the weekend. Did loldamage to it before I got CONCORDOKKEN'D. A battleship ganker can do more, but risks more. If you're hauling a load sweet enough to be attractive to a BS ganker you're a fool. Support fixing the EVE UI | Suggest Jita fixes If you'd suicide gank yourself for what you're hauling, don't.
