Just wanted to know if I found some bots. There was 75, all undocked at the same time, all warped at the same time, and when went to the belt after them, they were spread out 100km .

I am relatively new, so I might be wrong about this, but to me this screams botter.

Although one can not be 100% sure, it is safe to say those Replicator fleets are bots. They seem to get banned from time to time and change their name. Like Replicator deka01-50, replicator exa01-50, replicator femto01-50 etc. They seem to "last" 2-3 months.

No bots, just a multi -boxer , botters go solo , if in groups they spread out and hop from belt to belt randomly.

how many disco BS would you need for that?

how to fix eve: 1) remove ECM 2) rename dampeners to ECM 3) add new anti-drone ewar for caldari 4) give offgrid boosters ongrid combat value

That picture is proof enough that multiboxing is bad for the game. Even if it wasn't a bot.

This is what happens when everything gets manipulated to the point, you either control or capitulate.

Expect to see this be the standard when you scan down an Ice anom in the new system.

Ah no way, multiboxers depend on rocks with near infinite resoure to work. After Odyssey the advantage goes back to the actual botters again.

Actually I think it will be the other way around at least with ice.

MicDeath Titan, I suspect from your description, it is a multi-boxer.
You could try interacting with them to see if you get a response.

If you bump one ship do they all warp off?
Are they all in the same corp?
Are they in the same belt all the time 23-7, or do they move around?

Also confirm it's a multi-boxer, not a bot. For what that's worth.

Without knowing how large Anomaly Ice fields are going to be, I wouldn't try making a debate one way or the other.

80% of Ice based on demand will be in High Sec, was what I saw being sent around as information but there is nothing in the Dev blog that tells us how much these Anomalies will have in Ice, how big the Ice rocks will be or how they plan to calculate 80%

If it's scan Ice, 'blob' Ice with an Alt army, go back to mining Ore for a few hrs, catch the next Ice spawn, (4 hrs was a number I saw) I'm guessing ATK multi boxers win Ice in EVE.

I'm in the same system with this guy ( there's another multiboxer named rainbow too )
You wont be able to smartbomb on undock unless you can space it just right & they all jump to different bookmarks so in the belt they are fairly spread out.

When you smart bomb them do they all cry out, or just one?

Not really. You can multibox ore mining, it just takes a bit more concentration and isn't terribly efficient.

Will be interesting to see how the changes will effect multiboxers. I will probobly continue to mine ice, because I think it will still be less of a hassle than ore mining.
