Maybe you should take the time to learn about how game mechanics actually work before you go criticizing them.

WAT?!


You can't warp in highsec when you are criminal.
You can't dock at a POS.
You get banned for avoiding Concordokken.

Left disappointed.... no internetz for you OP.

Almighty CONCORD's warp disruptors are system wide and hit you the second you go criminal. They don't have system wide dead rays... yet.

It's doable. Have your victims in fleet and warp to pos. Then GANK them.

If this was in any way possible, people would already be doing it with POS in highsec.

Actually, the question is now in my head.

What happens if you gank someone outside your POS bubble in say, a .5, and maange tog et back inside the POS before CONCORD arrives?

Does CONCORD have an immunity to the targeting-block on shields? Do they just blow up the POS then you? Does the POS just prevent you from entering? Does CONCORD just sit outside the POS looking at you angrily until you either leave or E-warp at logoff then kill you?

I suspect you would just get shot, pretty easy scenario to imagine and plan for.

Barring that, you trip some huge flags in the database re: evading concord, and end up getting account actions.

the pos is not going to be the new ganking tool
you align to your pos
you gank
you worp to you pos and then realize that you can't "worp" with a GCC flag
you sit around for 5-27 seconds and then get CONCORDED
you with you could dock your ship in your pos
you with you did not loss ship

come patch day
and you can put pos all over the place


There, I fixed that for you.

Couldn't a pos be used to quickly hop into a new catalyst for ganking another victim?

Although... POS settup with bad settings can aggress and actually pull Concord can't they? Been a while since I looked, apologies if this is wrong (never rly understood those settings). I'd really love to see loads of people configure their towers incorrectly and accidentally aggro, then pull Concord. I'm a terrible person, I know.

Might make an F&I thread to request this 'feature'

No.

No. You cannot warp with a criminal aggression timer, regardless of destination.

missbob wrote:

No. You will lose your ship before you get into the pos shields. IF you got into the pos shields, I dont believe you can change ships either.

missbob wrote:
do not loss ship


If you somehow avoid losing your ship, you will get a ban.

Again, No. Control Towers must still be anchored AT A MOON.

I do't know if it's possible to gank someone on POS shield edge and motor in to avoid concord. It is against EULA to do so, meaning I would only advise testing that hypothesis on sisi.
