EVE General Discussion

this would make suicide gankign far more risky under the new pvp mechanics planned..

tornado shoots hauler... everyone on gate opens up on the nado *POP*

his hauler alt warps to the wreck of the target and as soon as he loots becomes a "suspect" and everyone opens up on him.

win/win imo

So true, also what you said about carebears using Dec-Shields, I want that fixed to grind moar tears.

Instead of making up crazy rules and constantly enforcing them, just fix the game mechanic.

EX. Once you get GCC for the illegal crime, you cant warp.. Seems like a simple fix to me.

For the role player: system-wide CONCORD warp jammer or something.

Well that's a damn shame. Clever use of game mechanics cut down to exploit status.

A player in another thread demonstrated he could suicide gank and evade CONCORD long enough for the aggression to expire.

The function of the mechanic isn't just to cause the aggressor to lose their ship. That is just one part of the mechanic. An important one, but not the only one. It's also a limiting and balancing mechanic to manage highsec aggression. What the trick does is still pay the ship loss, but circumvent the limiting and balancing aspect of the mechanic. Basicly it radically reduces the costs of suicide ganking high value targets to the point, that using freighters to haul a lot of cargo becomes idiotic. You can see the issue, that the vessel specifically designed to carry large amounts of cargo becomes vulnerable if it has a couple hundred million worth of cargo to a few pilots with a single battlecruiser. The trick is clever, but rediculously overpowered and very damaging to highsec hauling if it would have been allowed to continue.



Not specifically, but things like saving your pod and drop are good reasons to use as an example. More generally the sandbox game design favors solutions where you fix the issue with minimal effect on other gameplay. This is why you want to address the loophole only, if at all possible and why I dislike people abusing such loopholes, since fixing them doesn't always allow for precise fixes, that don't negatively affect legitimate gameplay.

Does this new ruling affect missiles, which can destroy a target even after CONCORD arrives, the shooter warps off, or even after the shooter is destroyed?

unless something got changed recently missles don't impaat after any warp command , they should impact after concord BBQ though

I am not sure I understand this right...

Attack someone. Get a GCC. Manage to warp away escaping CONCORD. Considered an exploit?

If this is true...how does it make any kind of logical sense at all that escaping the police is an exploit?

Fascinating.

Game update consumed and assimilated.

Nice buff or low sec
