EVE General Discussion

Oh no I lost a killmail and I need to cry on the forums and make CCP fix it even if it adds a billion ISK in losses to 50% of EVE.
You are a bright one you are.

If this was the other way around, would you let your freighter full of expensive stuff, get killed?
Of course you wouldn't.
It's that simple.

You'll probably answer with "I'd scout first to make sure there wasn't a gatecamp on the other side".

I find it hard to imagine that anyone would say "yes, I'd let them kill my freighter".

Naw, just fly it empty and everytime it lands on gate then jump and log off quickly right after it. Just to **** people off and cause forum rants . I consider it griefing of the highest order

But if you can't bring enough ships to kill the freighter before it disapear, then it wont die.

So when the freighter first are undocking where it can die, then you also have to make sure to undock enough ships to make sure it WILL die.

It's that simple.

An application I'm working on has all manner of issues, most of the people who have the problem are located in places that have decent technology supporting their Internet connection, but they have oppressive governments who require ISPs to interfere with the data transiting the ISP's network. These are places like the USA where you have rules about ISP policing copyright infringement, for example, or carriers who sell "unlimited" data plans, then use a bastardised form of random early drop to control traffic when the flow gets too high.

I'd expect Kazakhstan to have better Internet reliability than the USA because their government doesn't mandate that ISP futz with your packets.

Like having the game work as it should and the way i already play it?

Im ok with that wish.

I was thinking more along the lines of "freighter pilots bringing a scout and enough backup to mess up your little gate camping fleet." I only fear such things happening because the forums will be filled with the tears of gate campers complaining how hard it is to find decent fights these days, with everyone "blobbing" like it was going out of fashion.

the flip side being what all the trolls suggest and there being BIGGER blobs to worry about?

No logoffski is not acceptable.

the only thing i see on this thread is people defending this tactic who probably use it.

this needs to be fixed. that is all

You are still too ******** to understand the facts:

1) Everybody in EVE except you is aware the current mechanics

2) You didn't get the kill because you failed, not because of the mechanics

3) No, the timers can't be touched, because it's not OK to lose your ship for out-of-game reasons


What can be done: Prevent logging off while under gate cloak. Like modules, you can't turn them on while cloaked, it simply wouldn't happen. No keyboard shortcut, forced dialog window.

Obviously people could still force client shutdown, reset their computers, pull the network cable or turn the power switch - but understand now you imbecile little ****- there is no way to distinguish these from legit cutoffs, and therefore nothing can be done about it.

CPP or players will never accept that out-of-game malfunctions should decide how battles end.

There are already mechanisms that prevent your ship from disappearing space immediately when such a thing happens- if you are not aware how these work, and cannot adapt, unsub now because you are simply too stupid to ever succeed.
