EVE General Discussion

If it was working as intended then that dread would now be stuck with 20% armour and everyone killed would locked out of that station.

So yea, its an issue.

I've been playing this game for 2 years and everytime we've trapped or camped someone into a station and incapacitated the services its never worked. Its like a perma-bug, or is it even supposed to work like that? Just make them invulnerable if shooting services doesnt do anything.

Hit and miss it seems.

Yet another thing to add to an ever growing list of broken null mechanics, one starts to wonder if anything out here works...

An exploit helps everybody.
An a bug helps everybody but you.

Things break in space. It's a harsh environment. EVE is real.

1) Mittens announces hellcamp and promises epic N3-Tears
2) Instead we get even more goon-tears.
3) ???
4) Profit


Station-Servives have been broken for a loooong time(e.g. repairing after dowtime as well), I doubt they ever worked properly so fixing them might not be as trivial.

So presumably, the entire coalition will be tagged with multiple exploit flags and possibly even given short-time bans?

Strictly speaking, anyone caught utilising the exploit should, though I don't think anyone is aiming for that to happen. Closing the exploit before it gets overabused in N3s time of need would seem to be the goal here. You can be damn sure that if the roles were reversed people would be throwing fits about it.

Yes, yes… but think how fun it would be if they all got tempbanned for using exploits? The fits thrown to the tune of “devgewns banned opponents” would probably kick the Earth right out of orbit.

So is this an admission? Since station services are clearly not supposed to work when destroyed, you are admitting here that you do know they work while destroyed, and continue to use them anyway.

As for everyone else using it, it's clearly not been used very publicly otherwise this thread would have come up before. If you knew that others used this knowingly before, then you should have reported that. As for "everyone else did it, so I did too!", didn;t your mum ever say to you "if your friends jumped off of a bridge, would you do it too?". You are responsible for your own actions and the consequences of same.

"Please don't fix it until we've finished abusing it". Seriously?

Not true. It's hardly a huge feature, so I very much doubt it would be tough to fix. Chances are the reason it's not fixed is people haven't been reporting it. Most inside a station would just assume that the services are still up, and most outside the station wouldn't know people were using them. Like most exploits, it's only when a group starts using it on a large scale that it gets noticed, reported and fixed.

Well I'd call that publicly reporting an exploit. I'd say it's more like tears when you come in defending your use of the exploit to stop you losing all your stuff because of absolutely horrendous decisions made by your leaders.

Glad we're on the same page. Tomorrow downtime would be sweet. Until then, a GM could manually disable services in the station to prevent the abuse of the exploit.
