:The use of a webbing alt is highly recommended when passing through hotzones such as Niarja or Uedama. A webbing alt (or webber) can be any ship with 3 or more stasis webifiers on it. After a stargate jump if you activate the webs on your freighter, the freighter's max speed will be reduced allowing it to get into warp nearly instantly. Here is a video demonstrating the tactic | :The use of a webbing alt is highly recommended when passing through hotzones such as Niarja or Uedama. A webbing alt (or webber) can be any ship with 3 or more 55-60% stasis webifiers on it. After a stargate jump if you activate the webs on your freighter, the freighter's max speed will be reduced allowing it to get into warp nearly instantly. [Here is a video demonstrating the tactic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjrbDMh3BHY&list=PLIOM-qilFsoQZyhpxd7bsx5DQCEM0EiiQ&index=3]. To web your freighter without getting CONCORDed your webber must be in the same corp as your hauler or your webber must accept a duel from your hauler. | ||
: | ;PushX recommends pilots utilize a ship with a web range bonus | ||
:*This includes the Cruor, Vigil Fleet Issue, Hyena, Ashimmu, Huginn, and Rapier, in order of least to most preferred | |||
:*This class of ship must be fitted with appropriate buffer tank to ward against casual, low-cost ganks of your webber | |||
:*This class of ship must be fitted with a minimum of 3 stasis webifiers, ideally 55-60% webs, in order to effectively web any freighter or freighter fit into an immediate warp | |||
:* While training for a proper web ship, a fast frigate with a MWD can do but they should only be used while you train for a better webber. A squishy frigate can and will easily be popped, and is not as easy to apply immediate, effective webs | |||
:*'''Rapier''' offers the most benefits for a webbing ship and is recommended. Frigates are not recommended as a permanent webber but can be used for our pilots with less skill points while training for a proper webbing ship. | |||
: | ;Webbing is a useful tool but it is not recommended to web all the time or when is it not needed. | ||
:*A freighter being webbed on every gate can draw attention to the freighter as it looks as though it has valuable cargo. | |||
:*If a freighter is being webbed, ganker scanners can not scan the cargo and assume the freighter is carrying high value cargo so gankers may form a whole fleet and pull out all the tricks to kill the freighter, including suicide tackle. Then, even if the freighter is found to not have valuable cargo gankers will probably still kill it for fun since a fleet has already been formed. | |||
:*PushX policy for Pushers is to only web on gates when needed to avoid danger | |||
:Webbing | ;A Webbing Alt is your most valuable scout | ||
:*A Webbing alt will notice the presence of a bumping machariel prior to your freighter entering the system, allowing you to prepare to web safely past them. This helps you avoid Bump and Gank efforts, and Duel Invite Scam efforts. | |||
:*A webbing alt will also notice the signs and symptoms of a Suicide Tackle and Gank effort. The presents of the DPS fleet on short-dscan from the gate, combined with obvious suicide tackle ships at zero on the incoming gate are giveways that your freighter is in danger | |||
:*If your freighter pilot has been cargo scanned in the previous system, and your scout is seeing the signs of a Suicide Tackle Gank, your freighter is in danger | |||
:*A webber as a scout can ensure that your freighter does not jump the gate into a Suicide Tackle and Gank setup. '''A webber cannot defeat suicide tackle,''' but it can help ensure a freighter does not enter the system. | |||
