Mission rats see through cloak now btw.


Although we are NOT talking about missions, can anybody confirm this?

I can confirm that nobody, NPC or player character, can see through cloak.

OK.

I know I have had the feeling that Sleepers seemed to have an idea where I was while cloaked before, would slowly converge on me.

Might just have been WH paranoia :D

I had a Guristas Hideout and a Guristas Lookout escalate one after the other to Soothsayer and Trap! They both escalated to completion, so Trap! ended up in Lo-Sec. My results are atypical, but between the two escalations I scored about 500M worth of loot (Low-Grade Crystal Epsilon and a Dread Guristas Adaptive Invulnerability Field).

Amusingly, I didn't get anything special at the Lo-Sec terminus of Trap!


I've found it's pretty common to get bugger all at the last losec stage of Trap! I've run it in total about 6 times in total now, and nothing at all dropped - the wreck was empty every time. Random is random but seems a bit odd nothing was there.


To update my earlier post, this was raised, then confirmed as a bug, it was an unknown issue to CCP which is fixed in Tranquility and will patched sometime Soon (TM).

playing with probes and eccm right now. with 2 eccm on a legion I have a sensor of 106 (still need to train them sensor comps!) and sig 140. can't get a lock on it with sisters combat probes, sisters launcher, max skills, buzzard, and 2 gravity capacitor rigs (65.9 probe strength, get 97 with implants). my best probe has been about 70% signal strength, playing with them much more I'm getting 99%+ but no 100% hits. to get that high they have to be very close and in a good pattern. I'm on a 97.64% setup, when I turn the third eccm on I go to 82.89% (165 sensor strength). also note that there are scanning and sensor strength implants.

No eccm spam d-scan! 1 ECCM makes you a bit harder to probe out but looks like you should still be paying a bunch of attention. with 2 still pay attention but won't have to pay as much. 3 seems a lot safer, going to have to go over to the test server and play with implants sometime before I say how safe, virtue implants have a big enough volume in jita that I'd be wary.

A good prober knows how to have his probes show on your d-scan for a maximum of about 8 seconds.

Yes, people do these sites all the time. We are just careful when we do them, and often use alts to sit on the warp in gate to see if anyone is coming for us, and cloak up or dock up if someone is going to go for us.

other people do them in mostly pvp ships, and fight back if someone comes in for them.

it really depends.
