> [@Dracvlad](#): > > How many accounts do I need to do that? Seriously you think that to move a freighter around you must have say nine accounts, well well… Not counting the freighter pilot, one. > [@Dracvlad](#): > > If they made so much ISK that they can do it for fun that shows the difference, the AG don’t have that level of ISK. How do you know how much isk they make? Please, do tell. > [@Dracvlad](#): > > Now that depends n a number of factors. Sure. If a meteor hits the United states and everyone in the us dies, you may need more pilots as some of the logi may disconnect due to being dead in real life. And sure, if people bring the wrong ship, and instead of a cruiser logi, like an oneiros, they bring a Dramiel with armor rep drones, then you will need more pilots because the person is stupid and doesnt understand what a logi is. But in general, yes, you only need a quarter, a fraction of the number in logi that you do as a ganker. > [@Dracvlad](#): > > Bumping makes it too easy, I like how you guys ganked JF’s if normal freighters had to be ganked the same way I would be happy. We gank jfs the same way we do freighters. Ergo, you are happy, and therefore concede all your arguments. Right? > [@Dracvlad](#): > > Ho hum, the bumping means that you end up getting an accurate assessment of what is there, then you just add more bods or put people in higher DPS to compensate. The bumping side of it makes it too predictable. Ho hum, the logi means that you end up getting an accurate assessment of how many gankers are in system and therefore what is coming, and then you just add more bods or put people in higher-repping ships to compensate. The AG side of it makes it too predictable too. > [@Dracvlad](#): > > Some do, I had a NCDOT JF pilot give me 1bn for bumping his JF out of optimal so it survived. He then cynoed out. So what you’re saying is that it’s the freighter pilots fault for not offering a reward? > [@Dracvlad](#): > > It is a question of resources and ability to replace losses, you keep ignoring that as if it is unimportant, it matters. Of course it does. And that’s the point. How much does it cost to buy a logi ship? 20 to 250 million isk. How frequently do you have to replace a logi ship, as an AGer? Nearly zero. You can rep at 50km away, orbiting the freighter. How much does it cost to buy a ganker ship? 10 to 100 million. How frequently do you have to replace a ganking ship? Every time. They die, every time. We are not ignoring the resource required and the ability to replace losses, you are. > [@Dracvlad](#): > > You don’t but most casual hisec players do. Sure. The alternative is making friends or hiring friends. This is an mmo. Multiplayer. As in multiple players. If you dont have alts, and dont, or can’t make friends, and dont, or can’t pay people to help you, and dont want to contact AG(there are people who would help, without reward in that channel), and can’t afford to lose your ship and cargo, that’s your fault. Every single aspect, every single step is necessarily a failure on your part. Not CCP. Not the gankers. You. It’s not up to the gankers to ensure that you are safe. It’s not up to ccp to ensure that you are safe. The onus is on the freighter pilot. The responsibility is on the freighter pilot. > [@Dracvlad](#): > > And that is the reason why most AG do not gank the bumper. And that’s also the reason why most AGers do not need to gank the bumper in order to thwart the gank, they just need to be the logi, or park their battleship in between the bumper and the freighter to thwart the bump. So yeah, a plus for AG, a minus for gankers. ---

I was referring to ganking the bumper in that sentence but you seem to think I was referring to logi, WTG tiger for proving yourself a troll… > [@Solonius\_Rex](#): > > Sure. The alternative is making friends or hiring friends. Or earning so much ISK with easy stuff and plexing multiple accounts. > [@Solonius\_Rex](#): > > This is an mmo. Multiplayer.

As such I don’t use freighters in the main pipes. So easy enough for me to avoid this terrible game play. So a win for me and a loss for you lot, and by the way I have not lost a single ship to you lot, zilch, zero. > [@Solonius\_Rex](#): > > they just need to be the logi, or park their battleship in between the bumper and the freighter to thwart the bump. Go do it then. Park a BS, what a load of twaddle. I was bored so I thought I might as well reply, but you are truly boring like your game play. PS I have been told that most people have not noticed any increase in ganking so this challenge is not exactly doing much in terms of dead pixels… ---
