I like how zkill has the isk to currency conversion mod on now.

almost 100 dollars in pure fitting, not counting the ship skin, or that a special edition hull?

Rattlesnake Victory Editions came out just before the new skin system and CCP kept saying they would convert them to how they do the AT skins now. But that was like 3 years ago or something.

it's a special edition hull that's effectively just a skin, same stats as a normal rattle

They were a thing for AT12 where teams got skins just for winning any match, so that the non-PL/Hydra teams had a prize to play for. But that was during the skin prototype time so it wasn't a skin, it was a BPC that turned a normal ship into the skinned one. And CCP's never converted them to the new skins -- the similar Scorpion Ishukone Watch (the ship that took down Somer Blink) is now a skin.

I never really considered freighter ganking an interesting kill, they are big, slow, and usually very researched and targeted kills because of that.

Also people are extremely dumb with haulers.

Expensive freighters dying in highsec is good but if they're the only thing expensive dying then it means that either nobody is fielding other expensive stuff (not likely; see incursion pimp boats) or they are but they're too mechanically protected to kill (likely).

tl;dr not enough conflict in highsec.

And someone suiciding a ship on the jita undock is an interesting kill? Like if you want to say it's the only kill that fits your narrow definition of expensive, interesting kill fine but 5b+ losses happen all the time in hisec

fair, but you do see my point that freighters are dime a dozen and not all that interesting mechanically to kill save the fact they are typically giant loot pinata's if you can find one bloated with cargo.

you only say that because you're ignoring / ignorant of the years worth of theorycrafting, experimentation, and practice by goons and others. yes the end result of a current freighter gank is fairly rote these days. all the exciting stuff happened before now.


wanna know something crazy? years and years ago, freighter kills in highsec were really rare and usually meant the frieghter pilot got duped into accepting a duel or something like that. this despite the fact that concord was slower, ganking was easier, and a failed gank wasn't that painful because you got insurance. CCP's slow ratcheting up of gank difficulty is what turned gankers into professionals.

I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

The fight in 36N-HZ was super interesting from my POV. NC had taken out a svipul roam and were just running around provi looking for a fight. We heard about a TEST levi tackled and were close enough to whore on it. Then that Rag came in. I got initial bubbles on it and then burned bubbles towards the main fight. Good stuff.

Once upon a time, freighters didn't have low slots and we're automagically expanded and only had 168k EHP and 10 Talos could kill any freighter in any system that was prepped by Concord. Spreadsheets were a reaction, not an improvement. And given that there are only 3 sets of people that regularly gank in the game that can effectively gank, I'm pretty sure MiniLuv is the only one with one.

The rattlesnake? I was in captains quarters and undocked to get ready to pod some dudes. Didn't realize I was in it. Could've redocked, could've turned a shield booster on, but gently caress it. I regret it a little more this morning, but, after suiciding over a hundred billion isk in ships in my career, I'm not too fazed by it.

Also, maybe it's everything that happens before and after the f1 that makes it interesting? I know MiniLuv has probably jaded most of the population to freighter kills, but our ability to kill freighters is a better reflection of our skill than its difficulty. If that wasn't the case, that spectre fleet gank fleet that said, "all you need is nano machariels and catalysts" would've gotten more than 1 kill.

Also the only acceptable time for your titan to die is either with friends who are also dying or logging in after a really long time and trying to Yolo move it because this game is hard to try at because it's so bad.

Comms was busy but this is a rough paraphrase of what happened:

"You're going to need a new bridging titan"
"What?"
"I jumped instead of bridged"
"get safe!"

(a minute or so later)
"Titan are you safe?"
"No, I'm tackled by a sabre"
