Warfare & Tactics

So, CCP

Logging off in a POS, entirely 100% bubble, agression and death immune, this Titan warps back in, gets bumped to **** and dies, even with the 30-50s warp align time because of the MWD he died like a ***** with Shadow Cartel balls rested gently on his forehead and this isn't remotely a broken mechanic?

Why is it that I spend time safe-logging my **** in a pos and waiting out aggression just to die like a ***** when this mechanic is used? why is it unpunishable or considered an exploit? Why is CCP Rise discussing market trading instead of adding reload times to something mundane like mining lasers?

Seriously though, why can't we just log back into our bubble of safety, or be entirely invulnerable in the same way carriers are unable to be bumped for the first 10s of undocking and are transparent, rather than being unable to do anything and dying.

ninja edit: This is more of an issue with warp times.

Are you saying that CCP implements game mechanics without testing them?

No one else have done this because no one else have tried.

Mostly because our petitions asking CCP if this tactic was legit was answered by a firm "no, don't do this" and a GM looking sternly at us.

Stop bitchin and fit 4 or 5 inerta stabs in lows before you log off and maybe a nomad and agility implant. Pulse mwd on login and no way they will catch you. Also scout system before you login?

Can't cyno while in e-warp, derp.

while I gotta give them mad props for actually pulling this off, I too find that this is a bit beyond game mechanics

there's a reason why you can't get pointed during the e-warp

I won't go as far as to say this is an exploit (it's within game mechanics after all) however I will say it is clearly broken or not "working as intended" and here is why.

When you log in a titan (or any ship for that matter) it immediately enters emergency warp, every normal method of interrupting this warp simply dos not work, more specifically; a) Ctrl-space, attempting to stop your ship has no effect (this also prevents you from cynoing, activating a cyno module or activating any offensive modules to allow you to fight back) and b) warp disruption modules, in this case focused points from a HIC, have no effect (the module will activate on the target but will not prevent that ship from warping off ... you can test this yourself quite easily). By this reasoning ccp's clear intention is that there should be no way to interrupt these emergency warps, therefore the ability for the ship to be bumped and / or targetted during this e-warp state is clearly flawed.

I stole close on a trillion isk in supercapitals, should I have no right to claim that mechanics governing them are wrong because you're jealous?

your personal gripes with Nonah or your former corp aside, my post was about broken game mechanics not the individuals involved in this particular case.

I won't derail this thread further by responding to your posts.

you're ********. The whole point of this is that you can't activate any lifeline modules - Cyno, neut, smartbomb, guns (lol) so why are you able to get bumped and curbstomped?

I tell you what, I'll hold you in an iteron V with 300 plex by bumping it, and you can't warp off, log off, or do ANYTHING to save yourself, and you tell me that it's not broken, you can have the plex when we're done.
Also I get to siege dreads and shoot you while you're sitting there, helpless.
