Surely you aren’t stupid enough to assume you measure freighter success by their kill/death ratio? In the month you’ve been on the forums and the hundreds of threads you have started in that time I have not once seen you use humor, but this is a joke right?
Freighters aren’t meant to be killing other ships, most of them don’t even have guns. The success of freighters is measured by how often they deliver their goods to their destination.
You don’t find all the successful freighters on zkillboard, only the few unsuccessful ones.
Doesn’t matter what weapons you put on a hauler or freighter, you aren’t going to save it. Just like miners who have been wanting armed mining ships for decades. It provides a placebo effect, and if you’re lucky you might get on your own killmail. Nothing more…
Yes, though what you wrote sounds like you can get on your own gank lossmail, which is impossible.
(It could be done with a bomber bombing yourself while you get ganked but not with a freighter, though bombs can not be used in hisec so there’s that.)
Nothing will ever be good enough for some players. Not until they make haulers nigh-unkillable. Or like the armed mining ship thing. A Skiff can already have a T2 Battleship-level tank and it has the same drone damage bonus as an Ishtar. I mean, what else do you want?
