I've done my fair share of suicide ganking, but not on a freighter. Since we have been contacted about possibly doing a freighter gank, I am wondering how much firepower do we need if we can catch it in say a .5 system. Am I looking at 20 bs, 10 bs, roughly anyway. We wouldn't be all domis either
Any input would be great, feel free to contact me in game if someone doesn't want this to be overly public knowledge.
Also, do you need a freighter to loot a freighter wreck, or can transport ships / indys do it. Assuming its not loaded with bs or something

Easy maths. Freighters can't fit modules, thus they will always have a fixed number of HPs / resists / rechargerate. Just make sure you can do that hp amount of damage before concord arrives :)
Afaik only freighters can scoop freight containers but I'm not entirely sure.

I think you need about 12 Domi`s with Orge IIs, and dont forget your own freighter for looting the wreck, happy hunting.

This greatly depends on the system you will be ganking in.
0.5 and 15bs should be fine.
0.6 and 0.7, you will need a whole lot more.

hmm I thought indy ships could loot freighter wrecks, as it was still considered a wreck?
really makes my day not so fun if i couldn't loot a freighter wreck with anything shy of another freighter...

Depends on the size of the stuff the freighter drops. If he's using freight cans in the cargo you can just scoop them with another freighter and done. If not it drops like a normal wreck as far as i can remember. But it still may be something like a packaged BS that is 50,000m3 or some other very large item that your average indy just can't get ____________________ Hi. I'm not an alt :) |

I believe my corp actually managed to do it with 10 or so t2 gankfit blasterthrons/gankgeddons/domis/and a tempest. The key is to set one guy (the tempest?) really really really far away, sitting at optimal from the gate. When a freighter is scanned and id'd as the target and incoming to the camp, the peeps on the other side of the freighter get ready. When the freighter jumps in, the far sniper fires first to get concord out there, and then the rest of everyone starts firing who had been on the gate. In the time it takes concord to spawn, kill the first sniper, then warp down to the rest of the gang (or even spawn more concord near the gate), under fire from 10+ t2-fit bs's, the freighter should almost be dead. Oh and also, use sentry drones.
It's damn expensive to set up, so make sure the person is carrying lots of t2 bp's as well as rigs and other low volume high cost goodies. The more stacks the more chance good stuff will survive :)

While lobsterman does speak from experience, CONCORD has been changed once again to help people stay safe in empire. As per the patch notes, they now have long range and mwd capability. There is no real answer to your question other than to get on the test server and try it for yourself. That is the only way you'll be 100% sure as MDK was before we begun our attacks.
