I can’t picture using a Raven instead of a Tornado, unless one can’t add.
”Well then maybe EVE isn’t the game for you, as EVE is all about destroying stuff.”
This is such a meaningless line. Only thing you destroy is subscriber numbers and content. If you think that suicide killing people that cant do anything is a important integral part to the game, I gotta encourage you to reflect on that.

If you think they can’t do anything, you don’t know how to play EvE Online.

Why can’t they do anything?
You really need to let go your illusion that a gank is “killing someone”, with some kind of “final fate” and “moral guilt” associated. It’s a score in a game, nothing more, nothing less. You respawn. You can learn what you did wrong and avoid it the next time. Every loss can make you a better player if you decide to look after the tactics used and think about countermeasures.
I mean, if you run around in CallOfDuty™ and get shot, you lose your equipment and respawn. And have to run around grabbing new equipment to keep fighting. And nobody is complaining about it. Of course not, everyone nows that you will get shot if you start a game.
What is so different about losing a ship in EVE? Just know that some people will try to destroy your stuff… it’s a PvP game. Most frigates with a solid T1meta/T2 fit can be built for less than 10M ISK. Even newbros can replace that in almost no time with the simplest forms of PvE. Nobody forces anyone to fly around in ships that would take days, weeks or months to replace. It is your free decision if you want to do that.
Really, if you can’t accept that in EVE you might get shot if you undock, you simply don’t understand what game you have signed up for.

Instead of debating with plebs, from now on I will be generating top tier space music in response to posts I agree with: https://www.james315.space/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Undock-and-Get-Dropped.mp3
Lol. Last night I sat outside Jita in my ‘puny’ Navy Augoror….in range of 14 Catalysts from ZLegion corp. Practically everyone else, most of the regulars, had scarpered. I figured I’d take at least 3 Catalysts with me….3 more solo kills…if I was attacked. That is how you play EVE…..not cringing in a burrow like some scared prairie dog.
Success in EVE is very much a state of mind…as exemplified by those such as Aiko. If you haven’t ‘won’ ( regardless of whether your ship even comes back ) before you even undock…you never will.

Calm down
Imo, the public courier contracts’ collaterals should not be able to exceed the load’s price to avoid the scams. Also although ganking is a part of the game it is way too easy to gank a freighter / JF ( or maybe those ships are too expensive… ). Lack of balance to be brief.
Make my day.
This thread is about high sec ganking. You lost all your freighters in low sec, very different scenario.
With safe regards
