Marauders should either have their hull cost reduced heavily I reckon. With the new carrier changes there's no reason to ever fly them because they are way too immobile to escape hotdrops.

Pretty much agreed. At this point there really isn't a reason to go into Marauders unless you expressly don't want to fly a capital ship. I cannot think of a thing short of lv 4 missions that Carriers cannot do better unless they fixed it so Carriers can enter the gates.

The russians have no problem of it. 30+ pilot with positive sec status aligned to the gate and suicide tackle. They are the finger of death and can kill anyone they like.

I think JFs are pretty well balanced on the mortality scale. Piloting one still gives you grey hairs but you don't have to replace them very often if you're giving it full attention.

At the same time there are enough people flying jump freighters who only give it 95% attention and they provide the kills that balance things out.

1) jump into highsec system
2) are there more people than normal, and are they gankers? is there a macharial on gate, or a suicide point alt on gate?
3a) jump out in your invuln tick to avoid the incredibly rare suicide point into gank anyway
3b) wait till you're bumped and jump out after the first bump (avoids 99% of gank attempts)
3c) do nothing, fit bulkheads on your anshar and never die anyway with your 1m EHP
4) travel back to jita through the other 5 viable close safe highsec entrances
5) if somehow they are STILL going for you, you can literally dock up and wait an hour. gankers need like 30 accounts to make ganks on JFs happen so you're burning a lot more of their man hours than your own
6) having trouble with someone shooting your cyno? undock in a brick maller and force them to use 10 tornadoes to alpha you

give me a scenario where a JF is ever at risk and i can give you a super mega easy way the JF pilot can completely counter it

That's a fat loving lie and you know it. A JF can cyno out from cloak before an instalocking ship can get point. I've seen it happen, I've had it happen to me. I think you were even there.

But that's what I was talking about when I kept saying "not compelling gameplay." First, you need 30 gankers that are willing to sit and wait for a JF to wander around. Then you need them all positive sec status (12b isk @ 400m each, front loaded or backloaded, idc). Then you need someone who is dumb enough to not notice 30 dudes in system, and 2-3 suicide points on gate. And then you need you need to pray that you actually have enough DPS to kill the thing. Because you can't really scan the JF in lowsec, and scanning it in highsec will tip-off the JF and it has more opportunities to dock, reconsider, take an alternate route; or, you're in Jita and you need even more DPS and you're beholden to Jita mechanics (Jita is not the same as every other 0.9).

Every kill the Russians got was because JF hauling is so safe, people mindlessly do it without even the idea that they could get ganked. And the russians? I'd be surprised if they put up 300b in a month of kills. When MiniLuv is on that real poo poo? 1.1t in a month on our own.

What it comes down to is whether or not you (or CCP) think ganking should be a gimmick form of gameplay, or a sustainable enterprise. I believe the latter makes for a more interesting, if at times more difficult or frustrating, gameplay for everyone.

Edit: I was doing the on-gate suicide point ganks before HABAEPH0 even started ganking freighters, so maybe I know what I'm talking about more than what you've observed? Also globby ilu

Yes a Jump freighter *can* jump out after checking local before aligning. But there are enough people who would start aligning anyway to provide kills.

Balancing is (should be) based around extremes, not averages. If we aggressively started suicide point on gate ganking, how would that affect the meta? People would simply start cynoing from invuln whenever they saw blackbirds or whatever on gate. And then where are we? The same place I've been saying we are. It's also a testament to the safety of JFs by the fact that we routinely see people multiboxing 2-6 JFs.

Additionally, by your logic, since there are idiots who don't do that, freighters don't need more buffs because there are enough idiots who don't use scouts, webbers, warp-out perches, etc.

Like, the only realistic argument for JFs being as untouchable as they are is that it is that having logistics be difficult, dangerous and frustrating is poor for the overall health of the game. We can settle that as a differences of opinion thing. But there are ways that ganking could be nerfed that would still allow it to be a viable enterprise / strategic undertaking / genuinely fun and interesting content while giving more options to freighters and JFs on how to avoid dying.

Except now the game of whack a mole will only have one hole. Also, hostile entities, the kind that own sov (lol), rarely use t1 freighters. Only John Q Publord hauling a his belongings from Jita to Rens to make a new life in his new highsec mission Corp.

space trucking is loving boring and having a 1 in X chance your 7b ship dies without you being able to do a thing about it makes it far, far worse. no one is going to do that poo poo anymore if it comes to that. I get that highsec ganking is amazing amounts of fun for some but for most people in eve transporting poo poo is a loving chore and they just want to get it done with as little fuss as possible. the only counter play involved in suicide ganking currently is not exposing yourself to gankers which isn't exactly engaging gameplay for either party. I'm all for letting freighters getting caught and dying, as long as they have a way of surviving or the attacker eating poo poo if they play it right. unfortunately I don't think ccp is going to spend a lot of time on the highsec ganking minigame to balance that out.
