EVE General Discussion

yes. and the killmails when one gets caught are awesome.

Yes, these corpmates are usually labelled "imbecile" politely in their title.

Sadly you can't see what ships corpies are in without roles (this should be fixed) otherwise everyone would awox each other.

When they show up on the killboards, there's at least a minute of hush before people run off to troll the killboards on their alts. The best ones go mental and complain about the comments, then waffle on about how it's already replaced. Because they make so much ratting ISK >.>

Where does this corpmate of yours rat? I want to pay him a visit sometime.

Thread over, someone please turn out the lights on their way out.

Yes, it happens. I remember ratting in Tribute a couple of years back and some guy from the alliance using a Nyx in the same system on a regular basis. I was sooo tempted to awox him just for the lols. I probably wouldn't even be banned from the alliance if I did that, but had too many friends within the alliance to risk it.

Back then even supers could deploy sentry drones and rats didn't use to switch aggro like they are doing now, so your drones were much safer. You could do it completely AFK with one account - just set your sentry drones to auto-aggress and wait for the site to be cleared. Since the mechanics changed, you'll probably need another account now to assign drones to.

As far as wormholes go, carriers as logistics + dreads for DPS are pretty much the standard way to go for a higher class W-Space (C5 and C6). The sites there are even designed for capital ships since you have an additional spawn of NPCs if you warp in a capital ship into the site.

And yes - supers do make hilarious killmails.

I would like to remind everyone that a few years ago a member of Red Alliance lost a super to NPCs.

Back in the day, 2010, i had my first nyx, and only, nyx. I used to rat in it, it was very easy. This was before some of the changes came, i would enter a sanctum, active align, launch fighters, switch to drones, wash rinse repeat, warp out

do it again.

Never caught once. The moment someone poped into local i was in warp.

What did kill it, was me listening to an alliance mate and gate camping in it. good times..

But yes it used to happen often

From what I understand, smartbombing supers are very good in anomolies because the range when coupled with the ships large size is INSANE.

Also, back before the drone region nerfs (and titan tracking nerf) Tracking Titans were used to rat and could pay themselves off in a VERY short amount of time.

People also solo losec level Vs in supers. But you sure don't want to get caught.

you can get a crap carrier for less than a freighter...
