I've personally witnessed 5546m and my corpmate said he bounced with over 8k clear, anyone know why ccp continues to screw with the game to "increase consumption" without letting anyone know of the pending changes...

Who knows how far out the sphere goes now on a cyno and is it static or changes by ship type or any other variable?

BAD CCP,

I wonder how many people have to lose a Jump Freighter before you change your mind or disappear. Small issue... hehehe

Oh...yeah....I saw that. At first I didn't. Then, I did. I almost missed it, though. I was lookin' at somethin' else, but THEN I SAW it. Was I ever impressed. I like bigger. Bigger is better. Screw what they say about sense of humor.

We must accommodate the idiocracy.

Troll pulled down his post... so now my 2nd post doesn't make any sense... lolz


So no one has noticed cyno jumping sphere is bigger or that you are bouncing off stations ??

I've always been under the impression that it can be up to 10k away from the cyno. That is how far away from station I get for clearance. Haven't had one bounce on me yet.

I woulda bet a billion isk that up till the last patch... it was ALWAYS a 5k landing range... anyone confirm this or was I just asleep at the wheel?

The game can technically have two cap ships jump and land next to each other, the result is immediate bouncing. Alternatively, stations have buggy collision models, a cap ship may inadvertently bounce off a area that appears to be empty.

This. I had it happen recently, the 10k sphere around my ship (a web's range on the tactical overlay) was clear, and a jumping cap still bounced. Later I came back to that spot with my ship, and I bounced off of empty space.

Also keep in mind that while the jump in range is 5k, capitals have a non-zero collision size. And if you light a cyno while your ship is still in motion, it will drift a couple dozen meters away from it - which explains why sometimes caps appear to land at odd distances from you.

So we did some more testing...

seems since the VERY last patch, there have been no more 6-10k landings....it's back to 5k

But that's interesting about the bounce in empty space, is the "buggy station model" a certain place on all the same station types, or just a single (or few) stations?

And all the bounces over 5k we noticed were single ship jumps so no cap collisions.

And as far as drift... a few meters isn't gonna explain 6-10k landings.

Thanks.
