Solution to suicide gankers?

Not long ago you were saying that even if people fly perfectly they can be ganked and its such a big problem that the mechanics need to be changed.

And now faced with the consequences of that change you are flipping your position and saying that bigger (which i assume means more established) players hardly ever get ganked.

You cant have this both ways. Ganking is either a problem or it isnt.

It’s not just a problem when it suits the argument you are trying to make.

If I am flying a ship that I don’t care about, and don’t have any cargo to lose I auto pilot long trips all the time.

Auto piloting itself is not the problem. Autopiloting your leopard with the corporation’s BPO’s through Perimeter to Jita however, is going to get you poped.

freighters, not barges

i didnt switch anything

Lol…I’d have to fess up to another toon to disprove that one. Suffice to say that some rats have warp scramblers and I warped right into 8 of them at the edge of a belt. An early Venture loss I never mention :slight_smile:

And what newbies are running around in freighters prey tell?

Fact: Mining lasers cause brain damage.

I said, since you are so eager to disprove me that you dont take the time to read what i say.

Noobs die in barges, and freighters can be ganked almost anytime, even if you fly them right. How is that contradictory.

Fact: mining veldspar is directly linked to obesity

If a freighter is flown correctly, it will never be ganked.

Logically, if a freighter is ganked, some mistake was made.

It’s not.

But equally how is it a problem?

I’ll have to refer you to the 330 messages earlier and find what i said about this exact matter.

A dead freighter is good for pretty much everyone apart from the person flying it.

So it’s not good because the person flying it might very much leave the game and/or stop doing freighter stuff. How is that good

That’s ok, every game has losers.

Fact: miners are losers

Might…………

In my experience freighter pilots have a pretty decent approach to risk management and disaster planning. Especially compared miners and ratters.

If you have been in game long enough to get in a freighter then i would say you should have a good enough understanding of what you are getting into.

Now that is such hogwash and you are not a doctor.

Well not in my experience, and i was around industrials and miners for quite a long time. A freighter loss (plus cargo) is a blow hard enough that most small/medium industrials stop playing. You simply cannot justify that loss in a reasonable amount of time, especially in high sec. And it’s not like they are hard to gank.

I once needed isk and was too lazy to fly one of my freighters to market so I just undocked it and flew to the sun and set self distruct.
/wait if that is against terms of service and is considered insurance fraud then I am guilty.
