Does anyone else think that CCP are completely wrong in making this an exploit and that it should be regarded as a genuine game mechanic?

It shouldn't be possible in the first place but that is CCPs problem.

The wishlist is pretty much complete...

I'd be quite happy to see the elimination of POS bubbles, replacing it with a different mechanic. Such as the ability to anchor a super cap to a structure, locking it down.


That's certainly been suggested by CCP as the way things will be going. AOE effects like POS bubbles make CCP Veritas cry.




Edit:

For people who didn't read the notification properly:

This isn't about AWOXers bumping ships out so their mates can steal/explode them.

This is about people outside the POS bubble, bumping a ship that is technically Inside the bubble, so that the ship leaves the bubble.

Woo! CSM XI!

It's not an exploit to bump a ship out of the pos if you're legitimately able to enter the pos shields. This includes guessing the password or learning it through espionage.

If the shields are supposed to keep you out though, then you shouldn't be able to bump something out of them.

I'm not aware of how this exploit works but I agree with CCP's call here.

Enjoying the rain today? ;)

I thought they made this an exploit a long time ago? Or was that warping to an enemy POS in a cap ship or titan and bouncing the ships out to kill them? I had assumed that it meant bumping any ships out of a POS was an exploit.

This is called POS Bowling and is the reason you land 15km off the shields when you warp to a pos without the password entered nowdays

It's only an exploit if you have to exploit your way trough the shield

POS bowling in its various forms has been an exploit for ages. This is probably just a friendly reminder as some party or another has taken it up anew as a hobby.

Yup, it was declared an exploit many years ago. Then the mechanics allowing this were fixed. Apparently someone found a new way around it. But guess what, the ruling still stands.

so some idiot that parks an avatar with its butt sticking out of the shields is off-limits now?

You might want to try actually reading the announcement before making dumb comments about it.

EVE is a game about spaceships and there's an enormous amount of work to do on the in-space gameplay before players (or developers) are ready to sacrifice it for a totally new type of gameplay - CCP Rise

I'm trying to figure out how you can get into the POS force field without rights. The only two things I can think of are

Go real fast and penetrate in a bit before getting bumped out.

Micro-jump drive. This one I would expect CCP to have covered by game mechanics.
