I suppose this is the next best idea, after mine of course.

IIRC correctly it was done on the Jita undock, caused a massive lag bomb and thus became a bannable offense overnight... but this was back in the day, when we actually had lag, not like the pretend lag you kids have got. Our lag had character. It was lag that respected it elders. Cruise missile Breachers... nano Ravens... this used to be all fields... etc...

Good, for then we shall gank in the shadows!

Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing.

Don't blame me. I stopped bumping this thread a while ago. Oh wait.....

Looking to talk on VOIP with other EVE players? Are you new and need help with EVE (welfare) or looking for advice? Looking for adversarial debate with angry people?

Do it in Highsec then use a smartbombing ship right after you launch said shuttles. Also make sure the shuttles are owned by someone outside of the corp you do the smartbombing with.

Also doing this may or may not get you banned.

It's human nature to want to explore. To find your line and go beyond it. The only limit, is the one you set yourself.

Something about that is just gratifyingly hilarious.

Pretty sure they come out in a jetcan, unassembled. I'll have to test this once my freighter gets back to jita.


Edit: You cannot jettison from a freighter, without being near a control tower. Just tried at 4-4 with a bunch of shuttles.

Completely unrelated...but...

It used to be somewhat common practice to carry shuttles in your carrier bay. In the rare event of jumping to a POS with bugged aggression settings, launching the shuttles could buy you enough time to warp off (the pos could cycle the warp disruptor to the shuttles).

I remember (2009?) hearing a pilot on comms die to a bugged allied pos while being called an idiot for not spamming shuttles to get out.

It was also not uncommon to find deathstar pos with bubbled warpins and hundreds of shuttles, similarly with gatecamps. Which is why they fixed it, not to mention the server load.

I remember some years ago in Arnon somebody was leaving the game and had thousands of ships to give away. Anyway, somebody jetted a huge number of shuttles and set the SD on them, creating "pre fireworks" fireworks.

Yes kids, back in my day, we had to do things like that to get a fireworks display.

I believe the event you're referring to was Maruu Navorra who had received a large number of assorted ships from a friend who quit the game, and he was launching them from his Orca a handful at a time outside the station in Arnon. I was in the crowd, and managed to grab a couple little goodies, a battlecruiser, a minind barge, some frigates and destroyers.

I also distinctly remember the imagine of an Orca launching a full cargohold of shuttles, and the mess it made, although I can't remember if that was the same Orca, or if it was just coincidentally an Orca launching ships, and it was someone else doing it for a different reason.

As a side note, there is this urban legend (it's not a myth, I have the pictures if you ask nicely ;) ) of Maruu Navorra filling his Orca with POS modules and flying it way out into nullsec, and the ensuing pirate attack, or should I say feast.

I can't believe it's been so long... 2009 was like four years ago...

Do YOU like to undock?

That's the event - there were several.

Such a huge "bait ball" of pods. Would have been epic if someone came in with a disco BS - would have racked hundreds of pod kills. Would have sucked and been hilarious to get podded that way. But that too might have been bannable (so it was said).

Wow it WAS a long time ago.

I was there. ®
