Shuttle Demolitions in Jita

I'm not sure who's doing it, but somebody dropped hundreds of Amarr shuttles outside of Jita 4-4 and proceeded to blow them up. It was a pretty amazing sight, though it lagged the hell out of Jita and I got disconnected twice.

It was still going on at the time of posting this, though the entire system is running super slow with lag.

I did manage to get a few screenshots: http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/891/jita.jpg

That's one method of mass-testing...

If anyone ever looks at you and says,_ "Hold my beer, watch this,"_  you're probably going to want to pay attention.

That's one method of landing yourself a long ban.

Please tell me that Shuttles aren't dropping ridiculous amounts of salvage, post-patch...

I salvaged 3 of them, ended up with 4 Scrap Metal in total. So I don't think so.

I remember plotting with a corpie back in the day to use a super tanked industrial as a shuttle deployment system in fleet battles so the enemy fleet would have shuttle spam in the overview and scramble to remove them from it while we proceeded to tear into them.

We almost did it, too...

Hope they ban him. Such a thing really isnt necessary.

Some men just want to watch the world burn.

95% of the players are loving EVE, the other 5%? On the forums.

I think he is pretty awesome, though I think his hatred for amarr shuttles is misplaced.

I did a similar thing outside Rens once with 300 Min shuttles.

I had a stack of trit that I didn't know what to do with, so... Shuttles!

What is not nice is when it happens on the test server, with POS modules.

what is necessary in eve? hm...

if CCP has decided that exploding ships do cause a disruption in the warp time continuum, how could possible feedback delays or a diruption to the controls to your pod be considered an exploit?! it must be there for a reason! Bear

also, there can be no exploits in eve based on game mechanics by definition. anything that might be considered an exploit still works as implemented by CCP - and that has always been by design. if you want an "exploit" fixed, force CCP to change the underlying game mechanics.

eve is a programmed environment, anything that i can do in there, i can do, because game designers allowed it to happen. if you are not supposed to do certain things, you have to change the behavior and rules inside the environent. no more, no less.

imagine someone said "you will get banned for shooting back at concord". or, in early days, "you can tank concord, but doing so is not allowed, you need to let them destroy you".

just a single idea: how about changing the rate at which ships can be jettisoned? like 1 ship per per xxx seconds only? makes it far more tiresome to prepare a setup manually first place. and anyone can steal the shuttles within the next hour.

Probably trying to crash the node.
If it's really screwing with the system /petition it and some GM will eventually pop in and remove the wrecks.

If it's kicking people offline, and it's done deliberately in an attempt to disrupt play, it violates the EULA and the TOS:

Sorry, but no. If I break the law, the judge isn't going to accept that I only stole the cashbox because the shop owner forgot to activate the security system. Regardless of the shop's crappy security, I still entered the shop with the intent of committing a criminal act.

I can't get rid of my darn signature!  Oh, wait....
