EVE General Discussion

It's not an "exploit". It fits right in with the very spirit of eve. Corporate theft and espionage. If you take this out, you will have to make joining someone's corp to steal stuff, a ban able offense, or take off POS shield passwords at all. You've made some bad decisions recently CCP....but REALLY. What in the WORLD are you thinking?



Does this effect Titans poking their heads out to bridge a whole fleet? What you mean to tell me is, it's ok for that to happen ..but not for someone to bump them out and murder them? I've got to ask CCP ...who's proverbial phallus are you on right now?


As a wormhole dweller...I have no issues with bumping stuff out of pos's, especially if your security let in a spy to learn pos passwords. It's a part of the game ..take it out ......change some stuff ...or screw off CCP.


EDIT: Oh right ...over the years i've head " our logs show nothing" so many times ..I don't even put in petitions for obvious crap anymore......You just told every player (that's probably most of us) who have seen " our logs show nothing". That YOU WERE FREKING LYING THE WHOLE TIME! Really ..you can see a collision ? WOW that's some detailed logs ...Wonder how they never show anything else...

Are you in the wrong thread?
I ask because, while you did post in a thread about some specific uses of POS shields and their protection / lack thereof being against the rules, your post did not in any way give a hint to being on that particular subject.
In fact, one could think that your "spirit of eve. Corporate theft and espionage." would be strenghtened.

For the rest of the hysteria... Why are the CFC members the somewhat sensible here?

A basic understanding of the English language would indicate that a ship sticking out of the shield is not within the shield, and therefore not protected by this ruling.

Can you target said titan sticking it's head out?
If so, then it is outside the shield for sure.

If you can't target said titan, report it as an exploit the other way if it can bridge while technically inside the POS shield as far as targeting goes.

If you can't target it, then it 'probably' counts as inside the POS shield, as the pilot of it can't shoot at you in order to stop you, but CCP clarification on if that applies would be a good thing.

There are cat turds in this sandbox.

It is an exploit. I think most griefers will agree with this ruling, as it doesn't stop awoxing, infiltration, and all the usual shenanigans we know and love.

I would now like to take the time remind everyone that was in or part way pos shield and bumped out to ask for their titan back. I sure there are a number that we(the CFC) would like refunded. Like wise I beleve BoB, Test, and few others are in the same boat.

It seems the issue was that supercaps, in a small POS, were very hard to position entirely inside the field. The solution should be: Don't park your supercap in a small POS. Upgrade.

I don't understand the logic in calling this an exploit. When I first read the update I did; upon further thinking it doesn't make sense.

Then maybe consider the possibility that the TMC reporter is talking out of his ass and that some way to bump a ship that is fully inside the forcefield without the bumper having access to the POS shield has been found.

We all know that such methods have existed in the past (penetrate forcefield you don't have access to through warp or cyno , get ejected at high speed, bump ships inside the POS on your way out). If such a method had been found and been brought to the attention of CCP it would only make sense for them to rule it an exploit and lo' and behold the statement they would write would have to look just like the one in front of us.

There's no reason to assume that CCP is even more ******** than usual when the most literal reading of their statement provides an entirely plausible meaning.

Amusing thread is amusing.
