Confirming that having a point on your ship and using it on the faction rat will keep him from warping away.

Last time i tried pointing regular npc's they still warped off.

I did a test ratting session tonight and found that some spawns mwd to 200km from me in belts.

Also did anybody noticed that respawn timer was changed to about 40 minutes now ? It took ages
to get new spawns in belts and I tried in 2 different systems over 2 hours time.

There's a bug within belt NPC 'script'.

I've been belting for a while in a destroyer fit with the Warp Scrambler, yet the NPCs warped off while being scrammed.

Few others have reported the same 'incident'.

We have petitioned the 'bug', and CCP has confirmed the bug and have said that they're working on the fix.

Not even a scram will help you if NPC will hit the 'timer' to change the position of belts : ).

Happened to me with a hisec hauler spawn. I had him scrammed for 5 sec, then he disappeared.

To add insult to injury, he reappeared a few seconds later on the other side of the belt about 300km away.

Being trolled by an NPC. For shame...

They warped even when you had them scrammed? Shock, horror Warp stabs Batman! Bring more point or infinity point. Now you know how a pirate feels when he comes across a noob with warp stabs.

I found 2 officers in one day in venal. Managed to kill Thon without having to chase him but Kaikka ran with mwd on even after scram and using interceptors to catch him. I lost the kill on that one to others chasing the officer.

While we are at it, do officers who "warp off" actually warp off, or is is just effectively despawning?

Never met one, so I'm just curious.

Well it seems now that if you kill their escort battleships they warp off into space and de-spawn at least that's what happened to me when I was killing Estamel...

You can't try to scan for it?

unfortunately not , but my fighters did warp off after her but I didn't think if I scanned for those and warped to result mabey she would have been there but I didn't think she had despawned at that point just moved belt so I recalled fighters to avoid any more being killed ... sigh

uh no actually it dosent they changed it , if you kill the support BS first it warps off and despawns I know I had it happen , we chked EVERY belt planet and gate many times and looked for hidden belts for the rest of the day she never re appeared so she despawned

I put a True Sansha Warp Scrambler (-3) and pointed belt rats to test that idea and they still warped off randomly.
