EVE General Discussion

You're solo in a freighter or whatever industrial ship that can't allign fast enough. You get bumped like crazy and aggressed and can't log off.

You log off anyway, your ship stays in space as the ganker continues to chew through your EHP.

You log on to the same account with an alt in a logi ship, find where your bump-tackled ship is and rep it up. Until ganker either calls in more backup to beat your reps, suicides on your logi ship, or gives up.

I'm partially wondering if having two ships/characters from the same account online in space would be considered an exploit of some sort? I'm also partially wondering if that would even work or if the ability to have multiple characters in space (albeit not under your control) from a single account has further ramifications.

Ah,

I'm pretty unaware of such things obviously.

I will correct Aquila though; in most cases yes, ganks happen quickly, but in your specific example (a hyperdunking), due to the warping around needed by the process, it can drag over several minutes, so in theory your tactic could work. And I know for a fact at least a couple of years ago (not from doing this, but a comical mistake) that you can log in a second character on the same account if the first is logged out but still in space (that moment when you undock to see your alt sitting in a bubble of the station ), but not sure if it would be deemed legal or an exploit to do so (I am not smart enough to see the clever loopholes such a tactic could create).

Now a while ago there was another thread talking about bumping someones ship again and again.

Now i do remember (a long time ago) it was considered griefing if u kept on bumping someone thus preventing them from going into warp (note that i don't mean bumping a wartarget so he can't align, but bumping a neutral target in hi sec.)

I asked the same question then but I never got an answer from a dev.

Offcourse maybe it's only griefing if u bump them and don't suicide gank them.

IMO, atleast they should change the system so if u bump someone repeatedly u will get flagged to that person so they can shoot at you

Atleast this way the bumper has a risk as well, i mean it's a sandbox right?

Maybe try sending in a petition and find out.

I can't imagine it as a total exploit since you can't be expected to wait until your character safe logs to log in somewhere else.

that depends. If i pre-position my logi in a system with most likelihood of a gank, and some tries to hyperdunk, I can definitely log in and warp to gate before I die. Unless of course I do something really stupid.

I would assume it is a bump followed by a alpha gank, if not then it's not really all that hyper and this game is starting to go off into left field with its terms.

Edit: Also I always thought that hyperdunks were more "suddenly supers" in a LS/NS fight than "HS gank"

Could you rep "yourself" and ECM the ganker with your alt enough time to deplete his ship stock? Since we are pulling crazy ideas ya know...




That is an interesting point being brought forward.

You really can't think of why? The whole "same account" part might cause a GM to raise his eyebrows.

If you don't believe me, by all means, put in a ticket and ask.

Not gonna happen. This isa perfect logoffski handed to you on a platter. Forcefully crash your cleint and log back on an alt to save any ships including but not limited to titans...
