anyone know wich ship classes are primaryed by rats?
since everytime i warp in my cynabal to a anomaly, while a t2/t3 cruiser or bs, or even bc is ratting, i get instantly agro everytime
even tho i dont shoot the rats, but the guy carebearing.

ive been thinking of maybe switching to cloaky loki, it might have half the dps but if it dont steal the aggro, it would be about the same :)

but yeah, does t3 pull agro from a bs or how does it work? since even tho im killing a bc or bs, the bs rats switch agro to me in a cynabal.

Warfare & Tactics isn't the right place to ask this question. Perhaps you should try again in this forum.

hmmm no... its
Warfare & tactics (info) The home for pvp in eve: factional warfare, 0.0 campaigns, lowsec skirmishes and empire wars

and my question relates my solo roams.
its tactics in that way that i know il have the rats dps on my side ganking the target or will the rats shoot at me.

so no. i dont feel it would be correcly in missions and carebear section.

I believe rats switch agro to most recent warp in now, atleast initially. I think I heard something about them targeting the smaller sig radius ships first to avoid getting stuck on brick tanks as well. I wouldn't take mission thread as an insult, those people just have most exposure to rats so might know a bit more. Goodluck

NPC dont like Ewar.

So dampning, scrambling, track disruping are all things which will give you nearly insta aggro from the rats.

Time is over for easy 1 vs 1 + NPC.

The ganker also have to look for the rats ;)

While you want to know for pvp reasons, you're asking specifically about npc ai behavior, as was said earlier, you'll most likely get a much better answer from the forum section devoted to people who specialize in knowing all about that stuff.

The rats like to switch to things their own size instead of the larger ships they might have already been fighting. So frigate/cruiser rats will switch to frigates/cruisers that warp in instead of sticking to the BC+ they were fighting. If you add in EWAR and signature bloom, you'll attract the attention of more rats.
The first dev responsible for the changes, said to basically HTFU, solo pvp is dead, yadda yadda.

With the increase in shiptoasting, the Report timer needs to be shortened.

Rats seem to hate pirate faction battleships more than anything now
