We have kited as much as 8 to 12 hours past the window, Now, once we got a 59 hour timer, but we kited it like 9 hours past the RF timer, and the timer was like 10ish hours I think, so almost ready to come vunerable again, so it must have used the new day as a 48 hour mark and then added the time from before the vunerability window

I know that sounds weird, but it ended up being the alliance set RF timer + 1 hour, but the timer was 59 hours when we RF'd the structure.

The lowest number we have seen is 39 hours I think, maybe 38, that was on a system with a 16 hour vunerability window and we forgot we kited it and hit it in the middle of the 8 hours of overtime. But it still came out at the alliance picked RF timer +/- 8 hours ( I think it was -6 but not exactly sure)


The main problem with this is i think people are relying on the timer they see and don't correlate that information back to the original RF time shown in game. (Dotlan also has the info) So, even though you get a 52 hour timer or a 44 hour timer, it is well within the parameters of the system


Ask your firiend 3 questions:

1. What was the original RF timer of the defending alliance?
2. What was the vulnerability window at the time of RF?
3. What time did the structure come out of RF?

If you notice the timer isn't important as long as it gets you the desired time of day depending on how you kited

Here is a real life one, although not kited, but it shows the wild nature of timers. I know this exact time cause they killed my ship about 30 seconds after it hit RF

https://zkillboard.com/kill/48382511/ - loss at 0253 on 8-10-2015, system had just gone into vunerability


RF ends at 1535 8-12-2015, this means the timer was 2D 12H 42M or 60 hours 42 minutes

THAT WAS NOT KITED though

Overall the alliance set their RF timer for 1000, so the original window was 0200 to 1800 (16 hours) and the RF exited in that window as well


I will pay attention to the next kited timer I do to get an exact number and try not to lose my ship this time. Obviously we won the competition on Duality and we kited **** from kingdom come and back and we were super excited up until we realized it is a pipe dream on TQ, or maybe we just haven't hit the right circumstance.

I look forward to the data your friend brings forward

Actually if it is in overtime, anyone can entosis to take it or defend it

There is a certain someone in my alliance who will have to provide solid proof next time he makes claims. I concede your argument based on the experience you presented until such a time as there is evidence to the contrary.

I never berate. Just change alter how much I take at face value.
