You clearly haven't hot dropped very often. If people see a cyno go up off-grid or wherever else and see local spike up, they're going to bail out after killing the bait ship or even easier; jamming it. hot drop is called what it is because you drop right into the action. The longer you take, the less successful it becomes.


So what you're saying is hotdrops rely on the element of surprise? The fact that they're not expecting to get hotdropped... interesting theory considering you seem to think these people not expecting to get hotdropped will have a cyno jammer up while the try to hunt down the tengu that's being used as bait... Seriously just think about that one for a second there...

Also about the siphon unit, if you don't want to get your moon goo stolen simply put some guns and a scram on it and pop the hauler they bring to scoop all the goo they've siphoned. Simple, it's not going to be as easy to steal as you appear to think.

This is a terrible thread. As such, it's locked. - CCP Falcon

If a group is gate camping, they will simply put up a cyno jammer without thinking. It would become standard protocol to do so. Also, this tengu bait you speak of........they'll just ignore everything they can't kill on that gate.

Siphon units, as stated previously, can take away 100% of a tower's moon mining and reaction operation. The tower will not shoot the siphon, API won't tell you either, and if you ever sleep at all, you will lose money if someone simply pops up 10 siphon units on your tower since there's no limit to how many siphon units you can put on any given tower.
