Cant lock them b4 they cloak.


Cloaking is still broken... (at gates, not afk)

I prefer to catch them with a single point and good piloting.

I like that miners in lowsec are running gatecamps. This is exactly what many have been trying to realize for YEARS.

Think about it. Miners with the testicular fortitude to cross a lowsec gate, brave a camp, and SUCCEED... all so they can chew some rocks in an open PvP area. (without making too much in profits for the effort) Isn't this exactly what we've all wanted?

It's not a stationary AFK hulk or mack in highsec. It's someone going up against your gatecamp and SURVIVING because they have the tools to do so with a reasonable chance. There are counters to catch these slippery things, but you have to plan for it. This is a hallmark of excellent balancing.

No hate, it's just that the point of having more people in low-sec is to kill them.

who says you have to kill them now
let them get a taste of low sec and maybe they stay
you always wanted more people in llow sec right

I do not agree with what you are saying , but i will defend to the death your right to say it...... Voltaire

Use the new scanner 'look at' option or whatever its called. use it to burn at them in an interceptor and break their cloak before they can warp.

I'm just glad people now have a decent mining ship fit for lowsec. Yes they're hard to catch and yes the MWD + cloak makes them all but impossible to target but hey, the carebears are finally finding reason to go to lowsec. That in and of itself should be a victory.

I think it's great seeing these little things zipping around low. Sadly it's only a matter of time before we see a "venture needs to be nerfed" forum post pop up.

My ex Ceo was always happy when small fish move around belts just to lure bigger fish, so meny cruisers were under his recon wach :) and so meny big fish comes, not always but on occasions ... ;] i like this idea it self hovewer im against sacrifice mining ships P

I'm starting to think we need more +X warp stab ships instead of covert cloakies.

For those people still confused, if you put this on an Ares, or any other Interceptor with a bonus to scram range, even your modest interceptor dps will kill them.


Oh yes. Please gents, fit a 130 million module to interceptors like Shylari suggests.

Even better. Go the extra mile and fit a quarter billion worth of modules to it.

This will ensure no 400K Isk mining frigates will ever get away from your righteous fury.

And when things go pear shaped, you will make someone smile, like Shylari's corpmate here:

Anyone else noticed this bug?

When you destroy a Venture, cargo container will drop instead a wreck.

Dont try to lock them up, instead do the following:

Choose a system and a gate and calculate the time which it takes for a Venture on average to align and warp from one gate to another in seconds. Get in a battleship with 8 smartbombs like the Rokh and position yourself exactly on the line between the two gates and just far enough from the gate to activate the smartbombs.

Count down once you see him appearing in local +/- a couple of seconds.

Activate your smartbombs in small intervals (like 2+2+2+2 smartbombs every second) and profit if you were lucky.

I did this in my pirate days together with corpies. It takes some time to get used to it but once you have it down it works great and you can collect oh so many tears.

You will need a cloaky scout in the other system for this though or you have to guess if it's a Venture. But then again I am probably the only player without an alt nowadays :)

That's not a bug, that's nostalgia :)

But will that work? Bombing frigates seems to be rather pointless and ineffective unless you've got several bombers coordinated.
