How many people are actually successfully coming back for their loot ? yeah, none. The reason being, for it to work assumes the ganker is an idiot and does not want to use a neutral alt - and any gameplay that involves your opponent being an idiot has a very low rate of success, at best.
Loot interception may be a valid point though - potentially.
If those are the “fixes” then you deserve to be ganked.

Jumped through a gate from trig invasion system to see 14 Charon’s bouncing off the gate. Prob on auto pilot.
And you wonder why people like to gank.
Suicide ganking used to be abusing a game mechanic that was bannable, untill ccp realized it created toxic behaviour and drew in entertainment and attention to the game. IE more income. then they looked the other way, have fun flying in gank online stay safe out there space cowboy <3
Nobody cared about suicide ganking back when lowsec was still alive.

Incorrect.
its an alt of an alt of an alt, started in 2010 i know what im talking about.
Suicide ganking has never been a bannable game mechanic. Been around since 2010 myself. I play with some dudes that have been around since 2003, and I can ask them to be doubly sure.
There have been certain activities/tactics around suicide ganking that were or became bannable.
In fact, to give you some history, it was in the Empyrean Age 1.1 release in the fall of 2008 where CCP made changes to improve CONCORD response times and increased consequences to suicide gankers.
Based just on the above information I suggest you do some research because you don’t appear to know what you’re talking about.

I started playing within a few days of the launch and suicide ganking has always been part of the game and has never in itself been bannable. It’s always been an intended and specifically enabled play style.

HAH ive been playing since 2010 also bud…
and so I know you are full of ■■■■! STFU and go somewhere else scrub.
Pray tell, what kind of freighter fit is dying to 15 ships of what? I once watched a burn Jita clip where it took a while fleet of mixed destroyers and cruisers to take down a Charon.
If you’re going to have a billion+ isk ship why would you fit it like glass?
15 Tornados will kill any freighter fit in a .5 system.
If the majority of suicide gankers really are long term alts, then actually then it wouldn’t break anything at all.
Indeed it would do the exact opposite of what you are saying, because they would all train the new skill and then most the loot would survive making “anti ganking counterplay” MORE effective. Not less.
It doesn’t have to reach 100%.
You’re right. 60 to 80% might be a better number?
The devs could toy around with different max yields to find one that fits.
Presently, what I’m thinking it would be would be you would have a module you can activate, so the hits you make against structure don’t also damage cargo (or only damage them slightly/sometimes.)
The default would be that every hit scored against structure has a % chance of damaging cargo. Small bits of damage would only destroy small amounts of cargo. Bigger damage would destroy more cargo… etc…
So even if the ship escapes after getting into structure, some of the cargo might get destroyed.
So if 15 Tornados engage the same target and only one of them has the module active, probably the damage from the 14 others would still destroy the cargo.
One strategy would be for the 14 with no module to only attack when the ship has armor/shield, and then once the ship is in structure they stop firing and let the one with the module finish the ship off.
(Because only hits to structure would have any chance of damaging cargo.)
Oh. I am!
Think how awesome it would be if in an alliance battle, one alliance were to achieve the ultimate humiliation!

Read what I said please: “Recently SUBBED alpha”.
They go Omega for one month, and get all the benefits of someone who’s been Omega for years?
No they don’t, they lose Omega benefits the moment they revert to Alpha.
Where are you getting your figures?
WTH is that? Subbed alpha? HUH??
If its subbed its omega, unsub’d its an alpha.
