Question to EVE veterans:

If your friend jump into same space as you (mission or complex), he also take aggro from NPC. Right?

So, why that do not apply to someone that is not with you (or is hostile to you) - when he jump into same space as you, he do not take aggro from NPC, they just ignore him.

Is this "working as intended" or just a glich in game mechanism?

Thank's.

I am not one of the games top end mission invaders, but they are friends and have taken me on the occasional thing, and I can tell you that both from my experience and from their stories, the rats *do* aggro hostile invaders.

It's lucky if they aggro the newcomer enough to alter the outcome of an encounter, but don't count on it. But do know that rats shoot ninjas and they have changed their routines to account for that.

Generally the AI will switch based on signature size, or what the new pilot is doing. It will also depend on the last time they switched. Again, generally, they only switch every 2 minutes -- some missions and complexes though, they will switch more often.

With the increase in shiptoasting, the Report timer needs to be shortened.

Not random. Low ehp + high dps + ewar gets the aggro.
