Day in day out people blind jump into rancer in everything from noob ships to black ops/marauders what ever shiny ships
people can not afford to loose.


Firstly covert/friggates pilots.

Why oh why do you warp gate to gate ? your scouted up to 2 systems out from any direction
you care to come. No matter where you jump in from be it crielere or miroitem a scout has called out
and at very least 1 smart bomb rokh has moved to which ever gate he needs to be on.

Smart bombing rokhs can be as many as up to 12 or so in number so don't think your safe in cruisers/ transports
or bc even for that matter.


Secondly anyone else.

Ok so your not scared of the big bad rokhs I'll come through in a dram or interceptor and I got spots on
gates etc. Whats makes you think your going be able to warp off the gate when you have dedicated
tacklers (web/long point/scram) with scan res of 2500+ That and spam convo requests, inadvertently leaving
numerous items on the gate at decloak spots.

Warp stabs you say ? ok remote sensor boosted hics/huggin/lachesis how is that going to play out.

The above can come in basically 2 flavors, either camp right on the gate with invariably passive shield tanks with
no propulsion. Only tackle ships that tackle and damage ships that damage, also 95% of time max gang links
are running from their pos for shield/armour/ewar strength and range.

2nd option normally in miroitem, is a t3 bc fleet built for opt 50-70km damage, normally 2 faction fit tacklers huggin and
lachesis do the tackling when some one jumps in from any of the adjoining systems to miroitem. Each adjoining system
is scouted so fleet warps to any of the gates at 50km for the next lemon on the conveyor.

Common sense and an idea of how game mechanics work are all you really need to worry about.

Well now think of the above as a lemon education seminar.

You can stop your worrying now.

I never fly through Rancer, but now I find myself strangely tempted.

Ditto.

Oh, and the word the OP was looking for is lemmings, but even that wouldn't be applicable, since they don't blind jump in groups.

On the plus side, no lemmings were harmed in the making of the OP.

I say a lot of bad things (mostly well deserved) about Negative Ten, but I will give them this; they really know how to capitalize on idiots.

Edit: And they have the prime place to do it.

Oh wow snow flakes are special ? are the snow flakes perhaps a vague seasonal reference....

Anyway you digress.

No no lemons is correct considering how bitter they are after the experience.

In before some low seccer complains about the lack of targets and how Rancer should be moved in place of Perimeter.

Lemons aren't bitter, they're tangy. ..or tart, or something like that. I always like lemons. The citrus variety, (not sure you can really call them a fruit); not the cars, bikes, or other equipment that regularly fails.

In other news, Lemmings and Lemons go very well together.

If a Lemming could bring lemons how many lemons would a lemming bring if a lemming could bring lemons. Almost as good as a woodchuck chucking wood.

If people don't know to avoid hauling through Rancer by the time they accrue that much wealth then they deserve to lose it.

Heartless comes to mind and Christmas so close c'mon.

I mean how are any kind of coverts supposed to get past a gate camp when there are 200+ probes launched on a
gate they are jumping into.

Granted it is several weeks since they have used this practice but do still use randomly. That and the
5 or so rokh's that commonly camp most days of the week (12 is a rare event) waiting for the recon mistakenly
confident he can warp gate to gate in safety.

Until the last week or so I lived in the Rancer pocket for over 3 years, they smartbomb daily. However they only do so in the path of the system's stargates, it isn't hard to avoid. Adapt or die.
