Warfare & Tactics

So before a fight I had last night, I warped to a station and saw someone sitting there in a Claw. Seeing that he is a criminal, I warped off to an asteroid belt, but that didn't work. He knew where exactly I warped off to.

My question is, how in the world do you know exactly where the person is warping off to without using the probes or D-scan?

They turn tracking camera on on the dscanner.

They click on you on the overview.

Then when you warp the camera follows/points to the spot. if there are 2 or more objects inline with your warp path - then they have to guess which you most likely went to.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the help :)

dont let your corp mates know that you had to ask this question....especially if you claim to run a PvP corp....

well its kinda like less of a secret and more like "ive been playing this game for one day common sense". have you seriously never watched someone warp off your screen? its not hard to guess where they are headed.

i dont mean to sound....well mean...but i just get really frustrated with the whole amateur corp thing. join RvB/eve-uni/brave or something similar, learn the basics of the game before you start claiming to be able to train newbies. tbh you are probably not training them well if you have questions like this. i would get at least two years game time in before you start spamming recruitment for unsuspecting new players who might not realize that their FC isnt an FC

well it doesnt frustrate me on a personal level because i dont fly with a noob-corp these days, and youre not my FC. made that mistake and learned from it. Its great youre learning and its great you wanna share what youve learned with others. Just keep in mind that a "long time" in eve is years, not months. Asking a question like this shows youve got a lot more to learn. Its not that its a "dumb" question or anything..its just that it was asked by someone who claims to train other players up for combat.

just know you are doing your corp mates a huge disservice by claiming to know how to play. for their sake, find a real FC, with FC skills, and let them run the training side. If you have a knack for recruitment/day to day op keep it up and I wish you the best of luck! just dont lie to your potential recruits and tell them that they are gonna get combat training when they arent.

+1000 points for letting me be an @$$hole and not being one back, your attitude shows that youll be in EvE for awhile and im sure that one day, youll be crushing with the best of em!

That can't POSSIBLY be the answer. There must be a kewl probing/dscan trick that's only taught to leet peeveepee'ers and nully alliances on how to do this... Or some trick keystroke to use on someone's name in Local that'll give us info that's only available to GMs or such...

C'mon, guize, what's the secret?!?!?!

I'll still call you out on it. You're being an @$$hole. =)

I also plan to be here for awhile, and in that time I sincerely hope I don't lose my sense of dignity and end up pointlessly disrespectful and rude like the rest of you guys.

It's the Achilles heel of this community, and the #1 reason why the population numbers continue to stay as low as they are.

i guarantee both the OP and you have spent more time playing eve than me, just fyi. look at my killboard. this isnt an alt. ive never blown up a ship that wasnt an NPC. YET im still an @$$...remarkable isnt it?

also, because you might not have picked up on this yet, EvE numbers are steadily increasing all the time. when you say something like "xyz is causing people to leave the game" you have to back that up with fact. the fact is that we are growing as a community, not shrinking. so either new players arent as sensitive as you make them out to be, or they are quitting EvE but still paying their subscription fees. which do you think it is?

again, i wasnt concerned that the question was asked, i was concerned that the question was asked by a player who was claiming to train other newbies. my goal was to just do some DC and hopefully encourage the OP to learn more before teaching. OP doesnt seem too upset, and im glad they had the guts to ask the question here so everyone else can learn as well.

sorry if i came across as undignified lol...god forbid...

616+ views and counting on this thread. If it was that obvious you'd think ppl would have figured it out.

Still, it's a useful tidbit to call out explicitly. Here's another obvious one: how can you tell if somebody is about to warp into your plex (ie sitting on the accel gate? )
