I enjoy ganking helpless epithals when they warp from their POS to a custom hse.

I bring to the attention of followers of BoB that the new warp in/out trails coming in Kronos significantly nerf the ability to see where ships warp off to.. Evil

See below and make ur voice heard in the sisi feedback thread.

CCP have already said in that thread that they're looking into it, and apparently the CSM are pushing it quite a bit with them as well. It hopefully doesn't remain an issue for much longer.

Yep, there's a difference between "warped towards gate X" and "did they MJD? I think they did. No, wait, they warped. Teleported. Screw this crap, I don't care about shiny lights and pretties, I'm trying to PVP not watch a bloody movie."

As I said in the other thread. Learn to use camera tracking. Even leaves a line pointing towards the direction of warp..

Boooohoooo ganking PI haulers wont be as easy as it used to be and I might have to work just that little bit harder to kill a helpless industrial booooohoooo!

Did I do it right?

P.S. Bring on warp trails. I can handle it.

Either use camera tracking....or just sit on the barren or temperate planet. They'll have to come past to hump their P4s.

Yeah, because camera tracking works when you are looking at your foe. Fine if you are <100km and lurking a POS waiting for a hauler. Not quite so useful for people who don't click orbit at 500 and F1.

WHO CARES.

If you're doing it right, they shouldn't be warping in the first place, or you should already know where they are going to warp to.

Yup you did it right it's always been weird that you could track ppl like that I don't think it was ment to be used like that it's an exploit, anyone who wants a good balanced game can see that but let's be real a lot a ppl don't want it balanced they want it tipped in. There favor that's why eve has always suffered from abuse of exploits or imbalances but thats eve if I know it's broke and you know it's broke then you shouldn't be caught unaware Book marks are areal thing use them mid warp BM anywhere you go on a regular basis warp to BM dscan wait dscan again an warp to a nother BM then to your destination no amount a warp trail watching will get you caught just never warp to what it looked like you were alining to

This - affects more than just wormholes but I believe I saw corbexx posting in that thread that they (CSM) are, indeed, pushing the issue.

I'm right behind you

Someone's missed the point. I'm pretty sure I've never been ganked at a customs office. But don't let that get in the way of such a charming witticism. Wouldn't want you to not look cool or anything.

A bit of eve history. They took away warp trails in one expansion years ago. (pre worm holes) This caused a large uproar in the general population and they ended up putting them back in. I think they were removed to minimize lag, but the reason isn't that relevant to the point. CCP took them out --> huge outcry to put them back --> they put them back.

Moral of the story. Apparently (and the reason truely escapes me) warp trails are both a big deal AND very serious space business. Probably bigger than some wh folks not being able to see which way who warped where... what??

There are several ways to skin the 'where did he warp to' cat. I would wager getting CCP to get rid of warp trails would be one of the more difficult ways to skin said cat. This is probably a case where adapting to the change will get you actual results.

Do you really want to argue w/ a bunch of mission bears that like warp trails?? It's got headache and lose written all over it.
