Okay here me out, I agree with you that a response fleet that is able to form in time and in numbers to save a rorqual should rightfully be able to do so if they have the ships, the pilots and PvP ability.I get what you're saying, that large nullsec alliances spend a great amount of effort and isk to ensure their rorquals can mine in safety and they should be rewarded for that.But at the same time the spirit of EVE is that no lucrative activity should be entirely risk free (cough sp farming). Just remember to gf after you drop 20 supers and 200 machariels and the Talos/Naga fleet is forced to disengage. It also isn't feasible to drop anything bigger due to the limited mass of wormhole travel.And saying that you're risking two Rorquals on grid doesn't count for the potential support you can call from the standing fleet or ping. Same reason Feroxes are used so much in null doctrines and Talos in highsec ganks. They're putting 20+ bil in deep nullsec far away from any additional capital support.Cheap gank doctrines are designed to be disposable for situations where the entire fleet can get wiped by a response fleet.
