You can bump them for miles with a good fit. Pushes them out of range of the rock they are mining.

Ask our hero James 315 for info.

Miles lol.

I have probably been the recipient of the biggest bump in the history of EVE. Had some goof warped right on top of me. All I know is I saw a blinky red stabber on the overview then shot at over 1 km/s a couple hundred KM from the rock I was just mining. Thinking it was a gank attempt I aligned as soon as I slow down enough to do it, and warped back to station. Still the biggest WTF moment I have had in EVE.

I try to be nice and mind my business just shooting lasers at rocks. There is just way too many asshats in New Eden for that to happen.

Which causes them to hit a new bookmark to another belt in the system, thus disrupting their operations for nearly an entire minute before their mining lasers are running again.

Then you get to spend another fifteen minutes figuring out which belt they're in, lining up another bump, and trying to bounce them again.

Hint: You're not winning.

Who takes 15 minutes? 20 seconds with the on-board scanner works just as well

Also god luck warping out while my mach bumps you over and over again at 2 km/sec Cool

I don't know why can flipping is so dead; all the flippers I ever shot...er..interviewed...said they did it for 'good fights'......now they get a chance to fight everybody for at least 15 minutes......

Everything in EVE is a trap.

And if it isn't, it's your job to make it a trap...:)

Sure do miss my pirate industrial fleet--that imo was the art, dressing up pirate ships as civilian ships just like in real life. Most epic fight they had was a retriever taking down a Hulk complete with a drone war as our drones dogfought each other.

BUT....CCP getting 15K more carebear alt subs was more important than keeping canflipping alive.

Miners are like ostriches with their heads in the sand. The majority are AFK/watching TV and the ones I killed wouldn't start sqawking in local till after they died.

This is very interesting. You seem to a) take some serious pleasure in making other people upset, and b) have absolutely no respect for other people's way to play the game, as you're publicly ridiculing him here. However, if someone was to suggest that this particular activity of yours isn't worthy of respect, and tightening up the game mechanics so bumping like this couldn't occur (even if only in empire), now how would you react, hmmm? Now, what do we call that?

You have a right to bump him with no consequence anywhere in the universe while he has no right to mine without your bullcrap, not even in a region of space with crap asteroids, a region of space designed to be more restrictive of griefing?

The fact of the matter is that this game has been a VERY ambitious project by a group of amateurs. After a decade from release, a decade with over a dozen expansions and many many patches, the bugs and quirky things in the interface are EVERYWHERE. The game still runs on a ton of legacy code written by people that may very well not even work there anymore. A lot of the crap you can do in the game (like can flipping, miner bumping) goes against the design of the game, but since some find it amusing, and your money is as good as anyone else's, CCP says "oh yea, yea, that's right, we meant for that to happen, emergent gameplay LOL". In reality they couldn't properly fix that code if their life depended on it.

The reality is that you're not the fancy space musketeer you think you are, you're just simply using exploits discovered by other people many years ago, in the only mmo in the world that does not punish exploits as a matter of policy.

I was a huge fan of Brave Newbies right up to the minute I read this post. Sad Now I am just sad. Hopefully you aren't spreading these ideas to your comrades. The game is designed to include non-consensual PvP content in all regions of space. Participating in that content is not "having absolutely no respect for other people's way to play the game", rather it is engaging them within the rules and mechanics of this, a highly competetive PvP game. And if a bit of smacktalk is exchanged, well that's just the icing on the cake.

Bwahahahahaha

Indeed very competitive. Because popping mining barges requires pro PvP skillz.

This is probably the worst 'PvP' game currently available out there.

So see, flippers, there is hope for you yet!
