No, you should not be able to autopilot in safety. Autopilot is a risky action just by itself. You can haul 50B worth of stuff safely, but not using autopilot. Destruction is needed in this game, it fuels the economy. Nothing should be 100% safe (other than just not playing).

There is a cost to having a low threshold for ganks. For example stuff just doesnāt move around as much which is bad for the economy.
If you can move 50B worth of stuff, without having to work for it (IE no Autopilot) NOTHING would be ganked.

Auto pilot is slow and there will always be people trying their luck with faster ships or just being stupid or unaware that ganking is a thing.
Why is it bad for the economy that stuff doesnāt move around as much?
I think the contrary is true: itās good for the game that distances matter and that the universe feels big, which is supported by the fact that moving your stuff between locations takes time and has risks.
If transportation were too easy and safe, like you suggest, it wouldnāt be a paid profession for players to enjoy.
High sec is like an island compared to the rest of the game
And on that island lives a fool.
Imagine acting like an option to auto pilot with 50B safely in high sec will mean the end of the universe feeling big. High sec is a tiny island compared to the whole game.
I mean, if you consider Eurasia and Africa to be an island, sureā¦itās an island. Itās also the center of the map and the location of the biggest trade hub in the game.
You can move 50B worth of stuff safely already. You donāt need to make it be autopilot too.

There are almost twice as many high sec systems as there are low sec systems. Also, most EVE players live in high sec.
do you like being this stupid and obtuse?
or is this an act?
Are you a fuqing kid? if so excuse my languageā¦but if you are kid (20 yrs old and younger)
then might i suggest you stop playing games that require brain cells and go get some sort of education and life experience.

At this point Iām convinced that Bakster was an early attempt at ChatGPT coded by kindergarteners on a TRS-80. Thatās why he is only capable of ridiculous ideas, inane babble, and arguingā¦

You are the one writing the same comment in two different threads and seemingly against reason. But i wont hold it against you. Have a nice day
If you want to move 50b with no risk, red frog/pushX it with appropriate collateral.
Those great folk know better than to use autopilot.

And who says those base eHP canāt be reduced in exchange for slots? As said, Orca, Bowhead and Avalache already show how it works. Itās a pretty easy task to balance that. Iād say give them less eHP in a full passive tankfit than now but more in an actively used fit, to reward those not afk, paying attention and making the right choices in fitting and reacting. Even when it comes to cloaking, if Dreads and Orcas and Carriers can use it, for Christs sake let Freighters use it.
Imo dont reduce the EHP just add the rig slots + more PG & CPU.
1.6MM EHP Freighter fits would benefit the game economy.
noā¦ no it would notā¦
Yes it would
and pray tell, how would a 1.6mm ehp freighter benefit the game economy if it doesnāt blow up? ship explosions fuel the economy.
