EVE General Discussion

CCP is rather indirectly removing the ability to gank with ISBoxer and rapidly deploy a fleet for ISBoxer PVP while allowing us to continue to PVE (albeit it makes 0.0 anom ratting the current choice of where-to-earn-isk with the jump changes) to our hearts content. Most, if not all, of the ISBoxers were willing to accept a blanket ban on ISBox PVP, or repeaters with PVP, because there's too many ways around this repeater ban to even consider that this was anything other than a direct ban on PVP because some idiot was hauling 20b in a freighter and got ganked, or because some fleet got bombed, all the while CCP ignores the raw facts that if you're hauling 20b in a freighter in highsec, you will get ganked. And if you're sitting AFK on a gate or anywhere in space in nullsec for any measurable period of time, you will get bombed.

The funny part is come january and we are still doing what we do the roles will be reversed yet again and it will be your tears all over our killboards. The isboxers on here complaining are the minority. Those of us with a grasp on mechanics and intelligent use of the tools we have at hand are not so offended by this change.

That's the beauty of the work arounds we are coming up with, one button press = one click or button press to each client. We will be spending an extra few seconds max after its setup to do everything we are doing now, this new limitation is pointless and isn't going to change anything for the multiboxers who follow our guides to setup round robins, key maps, click bars and videofx...

This maneuver by CCP is pointless

not the point. CCP's attitude towards suicide ganking is clear, they never despised that as strategy. Question is how you do it, in a gang of 20 real people or just 20 automated accounts, latter is wrong and one of t he targets of this policy - for good.

same here. bombing itself is not the point, point is how its done and by whom.

then click and be happy, no reason to complain here, right? Go on.

the amount of haters chasing for imaginary tears is too damn high in this thread

in other words you complain because you cant uload all the work from multiboxing to some 3rd party tool anymore, and in same time you think you should rightfully be able to do that? EULA explicitely forbidding this.

I guess so. You could as good, keep input broadcast because, who cares? Its your account being banned in the end... I would be the one petitioning you for 3rd party aids.



yes and this is why its good. No easy bombing anymore.

Not just that this is good, but this won't hit bombers harder at all, this won't even affect bombers, since hey, for most bomber pilots nothing changes with this since we don't use 3rd party software... :D

You can bind alt+tab, followed by a set of commands to one button. How fast can you mash a single button? I can definitely do it more than 10 time in a second. Of course, like you mentioned, the commands might get split up between two ticks, but that's just the kind of thing that will have to be lived with.

Assuming we're talking about the act of bombing itself:

Step 1: warp the fleet with the fleet leader
Step 2: hit F1, which is bound to alt+tab + a double click (after aiming your mouse in the direction you want to go), 8 times
Step 3: hit F2, which is bound to alt+tab + cloak module, 8 times (might not need this step with recent cloaking changes)
Step 4: hit F3, which is bound to alt+tab + bomb module, 8 times
Step 5: warp out the fleet with the fleet leader

It's even easier if you're engaging manually with your primary weapons, since EVE has shortcuts for pretty much everything, and broadcasting targets on the overview makes targeting easy.

You don't need ISBoxer for this; ISBoxer just makes it a bit more convenient.
