Well... Viator with cloaky doesn't prevent instalocks now does it. Doesnt matter if your warp and cloak commands are right on top of each other, you will "still" be instalocked. Fly a inty? Well, instalock and you wont even be scrammed, a svipul will just instapop arty you due to murphies law.



Regardless, someone now has a T2 bpo because it dropped. I dunno if the guy who lost it was legitimately moving it through null, or was quitting eve and decided to give a good killmail before he left. Crazy though.

Oh, I perfectly understand, Hal Morsh — a mission like this requires courage, skill, and heroism… qualities you are clearly lacking. Have you forgotten you're one of the bloody immortals!?

The killboard site says copy. The killmail in game says original.

That 6bil pod though... Quite a fancy egg there. Can we start calling expensive pod losses "fabergé eggs"?

"Humphry, did I show you that lovely fabergé egg I added to my collection the other day?"

"Indeed you did, Norbert, indeed. Smashing specimen, that. Good show. Good show."

Hal is simply an imperfect ai, though if drunkeness ever gets programmed into ai's I foresee both a hilarious and tragic end to humanity.

Funny. Before the Svipul, a Loki could to the instalock. So it's cheaper now I guess. Nothing changes.

Almost like CCP needs to get off their collective lazy asses and code in a minimum locking time, regardless of ship type.

Don't kid yourselves. Even the dirtiest pirates from the birth of EVE have been carebears. They use alts to bring them goods at cheap prices and safely, rather than live with consequences of their in game actions on their main, from concord to prices

Sabre being on the kill mail suggests he may have been dragged off the gate and cloaked or followed through the gate bubbled up and decloaked him.

I've pondered that. But I think it's out of our hands.


it's impressive really. It takes 5 seconds to a warp scrambler to do its job. But a small ship can be locked and killed faster than that. Not much that can be done about it for now.

You cannot lock a cov ops ship before it cloaks unless the cov ops ship messed up.

This guy messed up.

Just because an OP makes a claim, it isn't necessarily any more factual than anything posted in a reply.

There is no evidence presented that this involved an insta-locking Svipul, which wouldn't catch a blockade runner anyway unless something went wrong (eg. pilot error or lag).

The Sabre involved is a far more likely reason he was caught, but without the pilots involved giving an explanation, the claim in the OP is no more realistic than saying it was because of the Sabre.
