T3's engage our fleet it is clear our fleet is going to win, T3's run to orca on gate get scooped, Orca's jump to High sec.

I'm not crying or mad and I'm impressed that the opposing fleet discovered how to do this and I don't think they should be banned, punished or warned at the least as it's taking the sandbox to the limits which I enjoy.

Now that this tactic has been documented can some one from CCP close it before it gets old fast! 2 ways to stop this are

1. Prevent Orca's scooping agro'd and GCC pilot's.
2. Transfer agro and GCC to ORCA making it shootable or concordable if it jumps to High.

Thank you for your time and thanks to the fleet that made me go ''WTF, Mkay, LOL''.


Sorry if this is allready and well known and I'm slow on the ball.

One counter via in game PVP would be to get a Smartbombing ship up in the face of Orca's


Am I missing something ... it seems to me that the issue is that the Orca's had a POSITIVE standing ... unless you mean something different by that than I would. You are unlikely to shoot blues on a gate and would tend to be surprised if they scooped your opponents and carried them off to high sec.

On the other hand, a neut or red orca sitting on a gate to high sec not being attacked in the middle of a gate camp would tend to be a tip off I would think ...

I am assuming they meant positive Sec Status and not Corp status. Simply mentioning that they were welcome in HS, where they people in the T3's were probably not welcome in HS.

I thought you were unable to reship while being targeted? If the T3's were targeted and actively being shot they can still store the ship they are in? Is it just getting a ship out of the Orca I am thinking of?

Is it just me or is it rather stupid to sit an Orca on a gate as support for campers? Seems like an expensive, unnecessary risk to me...

It's the opposite of a risk actually and allows bads to take less losses without having to be competent.

It is possible, but 99% of the time, it is risk free pvp.. I say again, risk free pvp. Who ever heard of that?

You can scoop an aggressed ship if nobody is in it.

Also, this thread is full of wankery and morons.

So if the Orcas are going to just jump instantly if you go for them, how is this not a valid tactic to force the battle in your favor?
You said you were clearly going to win. Force the Orcas to jump before the other guys have a chance to even get close to them, leaving them stranded and free to pick off by your fleet?
When the enemy stores their vessels, or ejects and lets the orca pilot scoop, pod the enemy?

Profit favors the prepared

Another cool tactic for Orca. No, I still refuse to train to fly one. REFUSE.

Dude, you always shoot the Orca in lowsec. CCP doesn't need to fix anything, you've just got to fix your orca targeting abilities.

This tactic is clearly NOT BROKEN because a legion got popped. Roll

The Orca is working as intended. Roll

Carry On. Nothing to see here. Shocked
