FEAR NOT BROTHERS!
As far as I understand it, the changes to the bump mechanics mean that any ship can warp off within 3 minutes if it is being bumped... regardless of alignment or whatever!
Brothers, doomsaying comes too soon!
Do not do a Gevlon, and give all your shit away before the changes go live!
Actually, I am pretty fucking fed up of having the same conversations again and again with people that do not understand how things work. (Do not fret, my NOL Brethren... I am not referring to you!).
What do the bumping changes mean to me? Well, I started my New Order life bumping. In fact, I was only bumping... and happy to bump miners (and freighters) in ice belts all night... listening to EVE Radio whilst toggling my MWD and showing the infidels their just desserts.
So. The bump changes mean that a non-AFK freighter has a chance to escape within 3 mins... if there is no gank fleet ready to launch. REWARDING NON-AFK PLAY IN HIGH SEC is a stunning and tremendous victory for the policies and beliefs of The New Order!!!
An AFK-Autopiloting freighter also has the same chances to escape... if the bumper tries bumping it whilst it is trying to warp across the system to carry on the route. If the bumper gets the autopiloting freighter when it lands 15 km away from the gate it wants to jump through... well then it is his to play with!! The freighter will be trying to "slow boat" to the gate... and not be trying to warp anywhere. As long as the bumper doesn't bump the AFK Freighter more than 150km from the gate... the freighter is at his mercy.
So not too much has changed. There are still enough autopiloting AFK freighters for everyone to be able to eat their fill. Happy Hunting!
Praise James! o7

New Order Ship Replacement Policy
Thank heavens for Salah, who remembered to save the forum post on the reimbursement policy before the forums went offline!
Remember to orient yourself on the "official" fits. Flying out with T2 Beam lasers might be funny, create tears and so on... but I do not think the Treasury will pay for such indulgence!
If anyone needs help developing their own schemes and methods for generating money... write to me... and I will send a couple of links your way!
In addition to the information below:
http://www.minerbumping.com/2016/03/trillion.html
Gank Taloses are also available for reimbursement (unless you use them nonsensically, eg for Ventures)
I seem to remember that Vexors are also open for reimbursement... if someone can mail me a source for that I will make it official here...

New Order Ship Replacement Policy
Update for ALL agents requesting Ship Replacement (Reimbursement).
There is a lot of confusion about this process. First, the process:
Send an EVEmail to James 315 with the subject line "Reimbursement 2014.01.01 -> 2014.01.15" (replace these dates with the time period you are requesting ship replacement for).
In the body of the message, simply state the number of T2 catalysts you are requesting, as well as the number of Meta 0 or Meta 4 Catalysts you are requesting. Keep it brief, simple, and to the point.
Ships will be replaced at the following value:
Tech I -- 2 million
Named/Meta -- 4 million
Tech II -- 10 million
Ganking Cruisers -- 20 million
If you have purchased catalysts that you are handing out to other members, you may request SRP for them - but assume that requesting SRP for more Catalysts then your zkillboard loss record shows may result in a closer look at your actions to verify this. This is an honor system and, in the words of James 315, - "Things are tougher to keep track of when multiple pilots are contributing to a common pool of funds or handing out catalysts to others, but the principle should be easy enough to follow.".
In the body of the message, include a URL link to your API verified character @ http://zkillboard.com - THIS IS NOT OPTIONAL. For example - https://zkillboard.com/character/1941616627/
Be patient. James 315 will take care of your request as soon as possible. Don't annoy him or waste his time with reminders or pokes about the status of your request.

A message from the Savior Of High-Sec and the founding father of the New Order:
"When ships are handed out, gankers should NOT request reimbursement for the loss of ships that they didn't purchase themselves. Reimbursement from the Treasury is intended to help the gankers afford to continue ganking, and not as a bounty/payment for doing ganks. (Some nullsec alliances deliberately over-reimburse as a kind of payment, and it should be clarified that this is not intended here.) In other words, there shouldn't be any "double-dipping". Things are tougher to keep track of when multiple pilots are contributing to a common pool of funds or handing out catalysts to others, but the principle should be easy enough to follow."
-James 315
"In the case where a player is found to be "double dipping" or "gaming" the treasury for personal gain, they may be subjected to removal from the CODE. alliance (if a member), removal from the minerbumping chat, future reimbursement requests being denied, or a combination of the above."
-DJentropy Ovaert (Approved as policy by James 315)
___________________________________
In other words - unless you yourself paid for the catalyst, do not request ship replacement for it. You might get away with it a few times, but sooner or later it will become obvious and you will be BANNED from the SRP. Don't risk it. Respect the treasury! All of the funds come from donations from friends and fans of the New Order - and gaming that system for personal gain will not be tolerated.
***PLEASE NOTE*** - Random audits will be performed. In other words, admins may decide to look over your API verified Zkillboard at any time to make sure you are not "double dipping" or gaming this system for any personal gain. If found engaging in this type of behavior, you may be banned from any future SRP, removed from the CODE. alliance (if a member), banned from minerbumping channel, or other unpleasant things. Please, please, respect the shareholders.
