Edited by: Daphne Q on 07/02/2011 19:51:33 I needed to get from point A to point B in a hurry, and the shortest route happened to be through Rancer. No problem, I thought. I was in a shuttle so I didn't have to worry much about gate camps. What I failed to consider, was a smart bombing camp. The first large smart bomb put me in my pod, the second one put me back in Nourv, where my clone was located.
Total cost to me for shuttle and new clone, a bit over 300k isk, just about the same cost as one of the bombers large smart bombs.
I've been a -10 pirate, one who was very interested in the bottom line. I would attack anyone, so long as there was at least a potential of there being something in it for me.
This pirate spent between 650k-700k isk and his total take was a Caldari shuttle and a pod on his kill board.
I hope he got his money's worth, because I sure did. It was worth the ~300k for the laughs I got at this pathetic pirate.

Newsflash, smartbombs are not single use items. Sorry, it cost the pirate nothing at all.

Yeah, Smartbombing is expensive... like, huge amounts. I bet he is laughing now, looking at his "PVP" record, as his KB stats go up and he can be all high and mighty with his killboard backbone.
Seriously tho, lowsec gatecampers are the lowest bunch you can find in eve more or less. They brag about their killboard stats, and very few actually even know how to PVP.
But yeah, im gettin all mad here and stuff, so I leave you to think this over.

Really. I honestly never knew that. LOL! Oh well, in that case, I'm glad he did put me back into a new clone. Saved me the time of having to clean myself of the scum of a face to face encounter with him.

No, you can't. I hope the bomber reads this too and remembers me. I have yet to thank him for a good laugh. There is nothing better in EVE than a laugh at the expense of a truly pathetic player.

I still didn't get it. What's so pathetic about smartbombing exactly? I would instead insist that it is extremely funny and rewarding.
Pathetic - to me - is a player who gets butthurt over the loss of a shuttle and a pod. So much that he needs to make a forum post where he makes up random stuff about him being a former pirate of the "honorable old guard". A pirate that doesn't know how smartbombs work? Yeah...

All right, I admit it! You were right all along, I was about to rage quit over the loss of a shuttle until I had the bright idea to make this pathetic little thread.
You wish!
The one thing this thread proves is that shuttle popping smart bombers aren't the only pathetic players around. Some of them are so insecure that I might actually be laughing at them that they can't see the humor of what I've been saying.
Anyway, I'm done, already had my laugh for today, so have at it with this thread.
And thanks for the laughs!
BTW, the two other guys I flew with flew only t1 and 2 frigates exclusively, so we never had occasion to use smart bombs. But we did have lots of fun ransoming CNRs in low sec.
To each his own, right?

To be fair, Rancer is pretty well known to be a system-wide drive-through insurance dispenser and clone-washer.
Hell, they'll even get rid of any bounty you have for free, too! What a considerate bunch the locals are. :D

I know, you were soooooo not mad about it that you made this thread and then had to keep saying how not mad you were about it while repeatedly insulting the person that podded you.
I really want to know who it was now. They deserve a medal or maybe even a thread dedicated to them.
Damn, got beat to one of those.

Daphne Q, you seem to be under the impression this was a personal attack. The pirate that smartbombed you doesn't care who you are, and unless you dropped some fancy cargo then they have already forgotten about you.
Calling him pathetic for smartbombing a shuttle is entirely missing the point. YOU ignorantly flew through Rancer which is notoriously camped out constantly. Shuttles may not be an 'impressive kill' but if you are going to fly gate to gate in Rancer you are going to die. Shuttles are also killed in these circumstances because anything with a cargo hold has the chance to drop untold value in modules, blueprints etc. BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE ARE DUMB ENOUGH TO FLY BLINDLY THROUGH LOWSEC WITH NO REGARD FOR SAFETY (SOUND FAMILIAR?).
tl;dr no one cares about you or your stupid shuttle, just what's in your wreck.

Maybe they popped you to see if you had any smartbomb ammo in your cargohold? I hear they're worth like 650-700K.

I concur with OP's self-assessment in the title of this thread.
I too got popped in Rancer warping gate-to-gate in a fast-aligning ship recently. I was irritated too, at myself, because I knew better.
If this was a troll, 4/10.

Man, I haven't laughed this hard in forever! OP is right there's nothing better than a good laugh at the expense of truly terribleific player!
OP would be the terribleific player I'm laughing at. Next time, please bring your most expensive ship to Motsu and steal something from me in one of my missions. Then you can come to the forums and whine about how I'm a pirate, when in reality I just Carebear Stare'd yo' ass! ***** ***** ***** *****

Nice troll attempt if you were once a -10 you would know smartbombs dont get used up.Or maybe you were just that bad at being a pirate.

Anyway, I'd pop a shuttle regardless of where/who it was. They tend to carry BPOs and other assorted goodies of the like.

Quick question: how does smartbombing at gates work mechanically?
Obviously it does, but I had the impression you couldn't activate them within a certain distance of gates, and shuttles in warp would be invulnerable until they dropped out of warp at the gate, at which time they could immediately jump.
Is this taking advantage of the split second between the drop-out-of-warp and the gate activation?

Confirming around the beginning of 2008 spartans smartbombed a shuttle in otou carrying a deadspace shield booster netting us about 500million isk, and you say shuttles are pointless , rancer/crielere gate is ALWAYS camped, dont be a muppet in future and warp directly to the gate, go to any other planet that isnt next to the miroitem gate and then to the gate You guys make squeeky noises when you pop, and that's enough motivation as far as I'm concerned. |
