It all seemed very fishy to me as well. I just saw you pop and was like sweet gate guns will help us kill him but no suspect! I was a bit mad not at the fact that we lost one cheap frigate because those are a dime a dozen but the fact that this is able to happen.

If this isn't considered an exploit god forbid PL camping gates in LowSec with this method o.O Especially with Supers! CCP should get on this right away before it gets out of hand... unless that's what they want then ssssssssssh**

This is definitely an exploit, but you are in the wrong place.

File a support ticket or evemail a GM.

There is a thread topic for this but I can't recall it offhand.....

Everything in EVE is a trap.

And if it isn't, it's your job to make it a trap...:)

Also, I hope you got it on video, or be prepared to hear the now-legendary 'The logs show nothing.'

are you sure the fighters followed you into a fw complex? or are they just on the km because they shot you once before you entered the plex and died to something else inside afterwards?

because it am pretty sure they can not do that

how to fix eve: 1) remove ECM 2) rename dampeners to ECM 3) add new anti-drone ewar for caldari 4) give offgrid boosters ongrid combat value

You were not suspect/criminal flagged or at war with the guy at the time it happened? Also, posting about potential exploits is forbidden afaik.

16. Posting about bugs and exploits is prohibited.

Bugs and exploits should be reported through the proper channels. Bugs should be brought to the attention of CCP by filing a bug report for our Quality Assurance department. More information on filing bug reports can be found here. Discussions about unverified issues in game can cause unnecessary panic in the community. When there is an issue that the EVE Online community needs to be aware of, it will be communicated via an official statement from CCP after thorough investigation.


Easily found by clicking the "Forum rules" link on top of the page. Posting stuff like that on the forum will only have one effect. More people will be using it to their advantage until ccp either fixes it or deems it an exploit, making exploits public is not helping anyone.

If this actually is an exploit in ccps view a petition / bug report is enough to get their attention.

Getting in before the lock happens.

There's no need to be upset about this. Really.
The mechanics are that the carrier gets the aggression timer; which makes sense, as a carrier assigning fighters should have overall control of them. If the mechanics were any different, the carrier would simply o7 out and dock. You'd be left with your member in hand, wondering what to do about it and probably complain just the same. Not sure what the mechanics are supposed to be on CCP's end, but it may be difficult at this stage to give both parties an aggression timer.

Far as I'm aware, and I use the word "aware" for a reason, there is no exploit here. To suggest so is to suggest that we can't assign fighters at all.

ANYWAY. Fighters can most definitely NOT follow people into plexes. They were also NOT set to attack and follow by either me or the carrier pilot in question. So there's absolutely NO CHANCE of them following you into the plex. AT ALL. It doesn't work that way.

Thanks for the comment Mystical, glad to hear it from your perspective. I was actually, in light of reading the forum rules (four hours of sleep, eh?), I'll leave it to the petition system and edit out my information here while I can.

No problem. Quick note: Been doing this since a few days after phoebe launched. The mechanics were this way for the last few patches at least, far as I'm aware, but definitely the same in the previous patch. So it's not a ~suddenbug~ we're exploiting far as I'm aware.

We were aware of this fighter assign thing pre-phoebe but waited to try it out, what with jump changes )).

Awesome, you guys cited the rule this will get closed for. Seriously though, next time you run across something like this, petition/bug report it with logs and stuff so it can get dealt with. Thanks!
