Wardec'ing miners never works. CODE's been saying that for years.

That's because CODE. suck at war.
Credit where it's due , code have flat out embarrassed us on at least one occasion before by clever use of a bastioned marauder,bumps and gridfu back when that was a thing (rip)
But they suck at the whole war time opsec bit,
The best they had at one point was when they collected a few of our dropouts into Black Hydra but even that didn't last.


Actually I remember a while back myself and feyd were chewing on a skiff next to a neutral orca which turned out to be a fleet Cane pretending to be a skiff and proceeded to belt the both of us, good fight.

No I don't think this needs changing because it's one of the few things Awarebears can do to surprise us.

So, bump the orca away from the miner?

Actually other way aroudn but yes you need to bump the mining ship hard and get into system and belt asap. try to keep it bumped more than 2.5km from the orca

To all the people saying it's good to see PvE users do this it shows your lack of knowledge on this subject. Miners have been using this pretty much forever. There are soooo many groups who do this on the regular and use tanked orca's to avoid as many ganks as possible. And props to them but as somebody who has abused the hell out of this mechanic for a long time it badly needs a rework imo. Storing while agressed/agressing, suspect or in a LE shouldn't be a thing. They changed it some time ago so you couldn't with the 1min wep timer but the rest does need a look over when they finally get around to looking at the highsec agression mechanics.

Props on them for being that clever. As for you, NPC alt complaining about wardec mechnanics and being unable to kill miners. You'll excuse me while I shed a tear. There are lots of mechanics out there to deal with it to various degrees, bumping, aggress the miner faster, etc. or just Bump the Orca all day so they can't mine. Beyond that suck it up and find someone else, give them props for being smart.

All of this except agress them faster. Pointing/scraming does not stop one from stashing. This is how the PvP side also works and how with enough logi you can drop agression and stash all the things in a neutral orca/bowhead and bugger off in shuttles/pods. BAW were the first I saw to use this effectively back when i first started in eve uni and it's become widely used since. Hell I used to have one parked in Rens during my marmite days just incase I ran into somebody good enough to bump me off station
