Although... POS settup with bad settings can aggress and actually pull Concord can't they? Been a while since I looked, apologies if this is wrong (never rly understood those settings). I'd really love to see loads of people configure their towers incorrectly and accidentally aggro, then pull Concord. I'm a terrible person, I know.

Might make an F&I thread to request this 'feature'


Regardless of settings, POS will not perform any actions that would incur the wrath of Concord.

Ye, thought so :| When I first started a fellow director made a huge fuss over those settings, so I deliberately configured one of the towers wrong just to see what would happen. Still pouting over the fact nothing happened.

What? Avoiding a virtual Police Force results in real life consequences?

You can test it just fine on TQ as long as you petition yourself if successful. That's what I did when I evaded CONCORD which led to the instant warp disruption effect being implemented.

Nah, that was because there were guys ganking freighters with only 2 battlecruisers several times a day.

As for the quoted quote part, that wasn't even possible when you could warp with a GCC. POS shields couldn't save you from CONCORD.

Came in expecting to find out that you can get ganked by a POS.

There was a Star Wars novel where R2D2 hooked into a station and then made it warp away - to escape a nova I think (read the novel back in like 1993-1994 - lots of rum since).

But now I leave disappoint.

Couldn't a pos be used to quickly hop into a new catalyst for ganking another victim?

Yes but then as your still under GCC youll just get instantly concorded again. Gotta wait out your 15 min timer or every ship you undock/swap into will get the boot.

Have you heard anything I've said?

You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right?

That's right.

No, but what I did was warp around until GCC expired, then simply jumped out of the system and back in again.

I wonder what would happen if you ejected before concord showed up, abandoned it, and then had a neutral, unflagged alt get into the ship. Would concord nuke it still? Or can you not eject when you trigger a GCC?

You weren't the only one to do that, but it was Herr Wilkus with this post who was responsible for what caused the super system warp disruptor. The patch notes for Crucible 1.6.3 even linked to a GM ruling calling the "boomerang maneuver" an exploit.

That post was the inspiration, and it demonstrated that one could delay CONCORD punishment for a while. I simply took it a step further and demonstrated that you could use it to evade CONCORD entirely.

You can't eject with the 60 second weapons timer, so there's no way to do it before CONCORD arrives and blows you up.

Actually, I just thought of a way... although it's not really relevant to ganking.

It was pure genius. So much that even a carebearing spergelord like myself could not help but to admire it.

Good luck trying to warp after you agressed. That got nerfed years ago as people with a lot og patience could make a huuuuuuge circle of bookmarks and that way stay in warp for 15 min while CONCORD showed up just too late.

It's doable. Have your victims in fleet and warp to pos. Then GANK them.


If this was in any way possible, people would already be doing it with POS in highsec.

Actually, the question is now in my head.

What happens if you gank someone outside your POS bubble in say, a .5, and maange tog et back inside the POS before CONCORD arrives?

Does CONCORD have an immunity to the targeting-block on shields? Do they just blow up the POS then you? Does the POS just prevent you from entering? Does CONCORD just sit outside the POS looking at you angrily until you either leave or E-warp at logoff then kill you?


CONCORD fail to notice the shields.

Using a POS as your gank HQ is fail x 5.

The Orca is the best mobile platform there is to support your ganking toons. Speed fit it for moving from system to system faster. Pack it full of mods, ammo, and cattys, and go gank to your hearts content. Warp your red pods back to it while your cloaky scout finds another target in another part of the system. Once sed scout has a warpin, jump your gank toon(s) into their cats from the fleet hanger, and immediately initiate warp to the scout. Either warp the scout out to hide its identity, or keep it there to scoop lootz. Concord shows up and does their thing, warp your red pods back tot he orca while the scout finds another target in a DIFFERENT part of the system. Rinse and repeat.

.

They say most of your brain shuts down on the EvE forums. All but the impatient side, and the sarcastic side. No wonder I'm still awake.

CONCORD avoidance is a bannable offence.

You get banned if you get away from concord deathkill? I would think that would qualify as emergent gameplay? AVOID THE COPS! BE A BADASS!

Srsly? How in the **** can you be banned for findind in-game ways of not being killed by the cops? Thats stupid. What could you possibly do to skirt away from concord? And if there are actually bannable things, why not FIX CONCORD!?
