People refer to it as hisec ganking, this is for a reason, the word gank is used to denote a overwhelming power to take out a single opponent without giving them a chance to fight back. So:
He did not mention hisec, therefore I put him right on the simple fact that you can gank a freighter solo.
What is amusing is that the most important part of my post is ignored for a throw away line.
If hisec ganking has only a suck it and wait to be blown up gameplay for a solo player then it is bad for the game.
And that would solve that issue.
