More importantly, they halve your target range so with two fitted, which is often the case, you have 1/4 of your original locking range which on a frigate makes it a very short locking range. This means that you have to move from one can to another, making the time you're uncloaked and in the site much longer meaning you're more at risk from being caught by prepared predators.

There really doesn't need to be any more adverse affects to WCS.


As how does that factor into probing?

It doesn't.

How does probing factor into whether a cov ops can be caught whilst inside a hacking site? That is, after all, what we're discussing here. Whether or not WCS should have even worse penalties for use than they do now so people can't fit them to hacking cov ops frigates (or more accurately so they would render their ability to hack unusable) because the OP can't catch or kill cov ops frigates whilst their doing hacking sites and he'd rather CCP change the game rules around him than use the solutions already presented to him.

You know ... you're kind of people which is dumbing the EvE down. I really hate it. Look at you, afraid of losing anything in EvE. I do realize when you want to PvP with an "expensive" fit that you're more careful and you choose who you fight with. I was called an ass, weakling and all other names you can imagine because I have chosen to take Falcon with my friend. It's not about being gay or not, it's about survivability. I have lost few ships while being a bait, and honestly ... I don't care - pixels, pixels everywhere. You take what is working for you and you try to enjoy it; anything else will cause stress and you'll quit or burn-out.

You being scared like **** from fitting T1 frigate with double web-scrambler makes you the weak one. Your request is similar to those who "PvP"-ed against LOW-SEC mission boats. I scan them down, I come in site and *POOF* - I disappear (WTH CCP fix that stuff, or I quit). How can the NPCs help my enemy, when I'm enemy to your enemy??? Well, simple! - you're the one with scram, web and high DPS - why do you think that I should think that you'll let me in peace one when we get rid of "our" enemy (read: mission runner).

Now the some folks here will say. Fit more Scrams. Well you could do that. But then you gimp your ship for tank or other e-war mods. No point going into PvP if you gimp your fit. Remember. Not all t1 frigs in theses sites are WCS fitted. Some of them are proper combat fit.


Isn't this the beauty of EvE? That you have some kind of modality to it (while it still exists ...) and risk it? Not like you're risking fortune - get the T1 exploration frigate, take drones and double-scram and have some fun. Even if you lose your ship, it's not like you're losing your POD in the LOW-sec. Relax and enjoy the game. Take risks.

I have really disliked the forum comments which had "If you want to play WoW, go on and play it - this is EvE!", but now I see where CCP is going (sell the game to majority, hence make the game more available to "slower ones"). I'm not saying that you're slower but you're just within this new-age which dishes out everything to their beloved ones.

Wherever I turn around, I see people want more for lesser effort/work ... It sucks :(! Just look at the new "EXPLORATION" patch:

- Easier way to find signals (everyone can see those spheres in the system as they come in the system, hence you don't have to scan the system down).

- No NPCs within the Radar\Data sites (I deliberately chose the wrong names) .

- The 'unique' exploration frigates are in no way unique (read bonuses).

The solution is very simple, you scan down the sites before them you wait in a cloaky stealth bomber with 2 scrams and a web, they are so detracted by the mini game that you have plenty time to lock them up and apply all your modules to them by that time they are pretty much screwed, and they have juicy loot in the holds by the time you catch them :] i have killed a few this way tbh its more profitable farming them than actualy running the hacking sites.

And that's how it can be done.

Yawn,  I'm right as usual. The predictability kinda gets boring really.

Buy t2 hands and t2 brain, that solve this problem.


Or just fit 2 warp scramblers
