I don't know a thing about money laundering but I honestly doubt that ships full of PLEX are a reliable way to do it, given the 50% chance of losing it all. Twitter: @EVEAndski

CONCORD offer a level of deterrent just the same as any law enforcement agency, but as with any police for they're reactive and punitive rather than proactive. If you want your haulage to be safer, bring the guns. If you don't have any guns, sacrifice some of your profit margin and hire someone who has them to escort you. Welcome to New Eden, you just learned a very valuable lesson in being prepared and covering your back. Ah yes, the old blame the victim defense.
Ah yes, the old victim complex. Twitter: @EVEAndski

It doesn't matter how much work you put into finding your targets. There is still a 50% chance that an item stack will drop or be destroyed with the ship. Twitter: @EVEAndski

Ahost Gceo wrote:I'd love for you to tell freighter pilots who fit for full tank yet get ganked when empty that they can defend themselves.
If people want to burn their sec status and money to kill an empty freighter, more power to them. That doesn't indicate a problem with the game, sorry. Twitter: @EVEAndski

Syn Shi wrote:Gankers have already accepted the fact that they are going to lose a cheap ship. There is no deterrent for them at all. Risk is a myth that CCP keeps preaching hoping some will drink the cool-aid.
Only thing left is reward and acceptable losses. Acceptable losses are easily replaced, just buy more plex.
Telling new players there is something they can do is just lying to their face and hoping that they believe long enough to buy another plex.
This is nothing but "think of the children!!!11" emotional garbage that simply soils the discussion. New players don't fly freighters. Twitter: @EVEAndski

The fact that Red Frog and Push Industries are still in business with reasonable rates and complete loads of contracts on a daily basis goes against the pro-Trammel crowd's assertion that freighter ganking is out of control.
Why? Because their pilots pay a portion of their contract rewards into an insurance pool that covers the cost of their freighters and collateral if they get ganked while completing a contract. If freighter ganking was out of control, either that pool would be depleted and their rates would skyrocket, or they'd simply go out of business.
Several of their pilots don't just use their freighters to haul other people's contracts, they also make their own contracts and haul them themselves, taking advantage of the insurance program. With this, any loss is absorbed by a large insurance pool rather than borne by a single pilot.
These guys figured out how to mitigate the risks of hauling in highsec and continue to do just fine with this system, so I don't see the problem. Twitter: @EVEAndski

Also, according to zKB, ONE FREIGHTER was suicide ganked yesterday, August 28th. Four were suicide ganked on August 27th. Freighter ganks are still exceptionally rare compared to the massive number of freighters that are constantly motoring around in highsec on any given day. More freighters are blown up by wartargets than in suicide ganks.
Those in this thread upset about their freighters being ganked are just bad players with a victim complex. Twitter: @EVEAndski

Crimewatch has made it more difficult to loot the wrecks of suicide ganked ships. You also get the same sec hit whether you fail or succeed at a gank, unlike before where your sec hit was less severe if you failed to kill the ship. Also, tags for controlling the -5><0 sec status range are expensive. Twitter: @EVEAndski

Lucas Kell wrote:Nowhere did I say they shouldn't have consequences. Gankers do like to whine though about how they don't want any more consequences, when they have next to none, while a bear cant transport 30m in a hauler without running the risk of being ganked.
So how much should CCP ratchet things up (for the umpteenth time) to make things harder for gankers? Suicide ganks are rare now. They've never made things more challenging for the bears, ever. Twitter: @EVEAndski

Lucas Kell wrote:For starters I'd make killrights relevant. And to be honest, that might even be enough. Make them stay for either the 30 days or until the a proportion of the amount has been lost to them as what they caused, and they would no longer be able to be removed by alts in rookie ships.
So if you take part in a titan kill in lowsec you'll have open kill rights on you until you yourself lose a titan's worth of ships
Fantastic idea there Twitter: @EVEAndski
