EVE General Discussion

I don't get it, how would you have time to scan a blockade runner?

Cyno V in one alt, pick reccon, light your covert cyno and jump your blops full of goodies. Godwin travel, no risk.

My BR still has large rigs in it. I don't recall ever being locked successfully, let alone blown up.

I tried ganking a Hulk with a Prorator.

Didn't work out so well. I hope they do better at transporting stuff.

I'm wondering why there is module that makes your cargohold harder to scan/unscannable. Ah yes, it's the same as ECM there's no real countermeasure for it.

Empty the mids and put in polycarbs and istabs instead of that other crap and the align time is 3.1 seconds. For comparison that's 1 to 2 seconds faster than a Harpy or a Hawk. It's a freakin' industrial that aligns like a frigate and people are getting worried?

And it warps cloaked!

That's just nuts!

Mr Epeen

I love seeing all those KM fits with modules that slow the ship down AND make the sig radius insanely large... Hehehehe.... Good stuff. By all means, fit your expanded cargo, overdrives, istabs, and LSE's, guys. I'll bring the popcorn.

LSEs only decrease lock time insignificantly. Doesn't matter anyway for instalock.

You don't care about align time: 1) out of gate - it doesn't matter as you cloak instantly, 2) out of station - you should have insta-undock.

There are only TWO occasions when you are vulnerable:

1) After jumping from gate, you are <2km to other ship (happens sometimes) and can't cloak;
2) You lag a bit to cloak and someone instalocks you.

In both of these situation you really don't care how many istabs or polycarbs you have; tornado will instapop you before you can warp.

However, if you have tank, you migh as well survive ;)

WHY this fit is actually the best solution: you are flying freaking unscannable ship. The ganker has no idea whether you fly empty or with 10bil worth of BPOs. The ganker is playing a lottery, where he must minimize his costs. So the most probable scenario is that 1) you will face single alpha ship or couple of catalysts, who shoot blindly without scanning, 2) they will only attack when you make a mistake, e.g. decloak next to other ship in Niarja. For such random ganks, having tank is the only option.

So before criticizing, please try to use your brains at least a bit. kthxbye?


EDIT: actually that fit was for high-sec only. For 0.0 nothing changes at all post-changes - you are dead if you are caught, so lows should be for better align. Plus you need MWD.

what isthe point , they always been safe , aslong you don't autpilot them, and that is for every transport/hauler even when using a normal hauler with the mwd cloak trick they are pretty hard to catch
the only time they ever caught one of maycharacters in a blockade was in null sec ( bubbles)
and even freighters aresafe aslong you take precautions

But...but... what if my BPOs take more than 1k m3!?

And yes, correct way is to tank T3 to the teeth and use it as transport.
