Fleet hangars will now behave like normal cargo hold when it comes to ship scanners and loot drops (ie, will be scannable, and loot will drop from them) "

This... is the best thing CCP have done in ages

Ministry of Love just shat itself

I'm happy about this because I like ganking. I am sad because now my orca is worthless.

I'll still use mine, tbh.

It won't be the invincible pimp-mod mover that it is now, but it still has a lot of advantages: it's a high-capacity hauler that packs 200k EHP without compromising its carrying capacity in any way; it can align in ten seconds if you fit a 100MN MWD to it; it can fit a cloak; it has a SMA. It will remain the apex hauler for people who are moving mid-sized loads and aren't AFK.

Also for Wormholes (about which most people don't care anyway )

It still has eHP of a freighter, so it will take 7 people minimum to gank it (more if they decide to nerf the behavior of concord vs. abandoned drones) + with the new crimewatch it'll be way more effort to loot stuff since looting freighters will get the whatever flag so everyone can shoot them.

They should do something about that

You still couldn't AP it through empire, which is the whole point of training an Orca.

Next time you see some dumbass whining about how CCP is all about making empire safer, just beat them with this post until they STFU.
