oh snap. Too bad you didn't have a guy with no timers handy to grab up the free paladin.
I think the missed hijacking opportunity would be the thing that gave me the biggest sad in that case, to be honest.

Yep. Old Man's Star, Amamake, any High-Low pipes get camped often.

Also, if CCP ignores your ticket, in all likelihood, they won't take action from forum posts especially in this particular board either. You will just get a thread lock and a black mark for your trouble.

This seems like a bug more than an exploit.

When you engage a wartarget, you should have a limited engagement with him/her.

Irrespective of them then dropping Corp in their pod (totally ok to do so), you should have still had a limited engagement timer.

As much as I think your a **** OP for the way you carry on in the forum, there is something very wrong about what happened. It shouldn't happen that way, so a bug report should be filed.

Yeah, the dropping corp thing is dodgy, but mechanics is what they are.
The limited engagement thing is the real issue, even though they're not at war anymore they're still technically in a shooting battle at the moment.
Sounds buggy to me.

it's odd as they shouldn't be able to board the ship while it's target locked by others.


Its not locked though, safety green and concord would have ecm'd


if they were at war with the target, then CONCORD isn't an issue. The issue *appears* to be the pally pilot ejecting from their ship, dropping corp, then re-boarding. At THAT point, they're now shooting an innocent and CONCORD shows up.

How they were able to re-board the ship when it was target locked is the issue at hand here.

One of our pilots heard the chatter in local about this.

I find it hilarious that known functionality was used to thwart your attacks. I hope more do it.

Or have another neutral board the ship,
or swap ships entirely,
or swap corps and ships

Oh the combinationsBlink

And bring in a neutral orca or bowhead tooP

Oh snap, the same pilot lost a proteus a few days ago to the NPC belt miners.
Sigh... rough times.

Doesn't work, when an empty ship is locked only the previous pilot can reboard it. This is why it worked in the first place.

NPC belt miners did something that actual player miners never do: Having escort. Escorts with some jacked up stats and tackle mods. Killing those guys aren't easy at all.

I wouldn't say "never." I've seen it in WHs twice.

i dont see how locking a ship can prevent someone from boarding it, he clearly didnt have combat timer so i see no issue here

Even if he ejected, dropped corp and reboarded Im fine with this all being as it is though tbh its kinda a **** mechanic, reboarding like that I mean, there shouldve been limited engagements superceding the concordonkken portions and the kill still being made valid irrespective of the dropped war dec.

Ironically it would be an interesting mechanic change to still have the paly be a valid war target regardless of who else may board it. Would make for some hilarious neutral boarding party hijinx Id imagine.

Though I do still find it amusing when "elites" are outplayed either way. Makes me smile a bit.

Have you heard anything I've said?

You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right?

That's right.

With the Legion's 920 scan resolution why didn't they just lock his capsule and pod him when he exited? It's not like ejecting, leaving a corporation and reboarding is instantaneous, either. $10 says they were too focused on destroying the Paladin to notice anything else going on. Also curious why the fastest locking ship didn't get taken out by CONCORD? Something seems off about the whole chain of events as described by the Op. Still funny as sh*t.

Okay, here's what I get for not paying attention. How long it's been since you can change corps while not docked?

I recall there were talks of the issue a while, while back then now though...
