Does anyone have details on this? Are officers going to kill me if I ever find them?

Could it be that this is a move against bots? A great deal of them rat in ravens, from what i've seen, not too many skillpoints.
Has anyone killed such a rat recently?Yes, i know professional belt ratters are very paranoid(for the right reasons) about their methods and locations, I think everyone is okay with this, I would just REALLY like to know if anyone has seen this change.

in other words, an estamel officer spawn will require nothing less than a supercarrier hot drop to kill and your average battleship gank gang will be unable to break its tank

Edited by: Gaius BaItar on 15/02/2011 21:23:57 This is what I posted in another thread:
Originally by: Gaius BaItar Just found one in my tengu. I hardly scratched his shields with fury heavy missiles. Damage received was bad enough that I had to warp out.
I changed ships, back in a golem. Slowly, I finally got him, but had to warp out once and wait for my shields to boost back up.
That's how hard they are now.
I suspect they have different resists and damage types than they used to.
They are tougher, but solo doable in a high dps ship.

This will be guy's in slow moving ratting bs warps to belt gets scrammed by officer (if they realy made them lets say as tough as a person with all level 5s in a gank fit version of that factions bs) and dies.

Has anyone had a chance to test if their behavior has changed? Warping out on low shield/armor, dissapearing when their escort is gone, things like that?

Given the fact that in the almost 4 years i play EVE i only once encountered an officer spawn i highly doubt they are there to screw the botters.
Or CCP has boosted the spawnrate significantly, which would be an......interesting move. ___________________________________

To all ppl without a clue here -> of course it's aimed mainly at bots, since they are farming 95% of officer/faction spawns. To other oh-this-is-so-wrong-whiners -> teamwork ffs.
inb4 GREAT MOVE CCP :XD

Well, I can't afford officer mods anyhoo, so whether it does or does not affect the price makes no difference to me. Also, if I ever found an officer mod, I'd keep it and use it...unless it was not of any use to me, in which case I'd blow it up and show people the screenshot in MD with an "lol" in the post haha j/k of course ;) I would sell it if I couldn't use it _____________________________________ Real men corpse tank. |

About time, overseers in exploration are much tougher for same bounty Compare for example Haruo Wako to old Ton Eney 1000+ dps - 180 dps same boost amount but over 3 times the shield and +20% on every resist so minimum is 48% vs 68% - that is double the tank effectively |

Bots will remain untouched by the officer buff, as they will just warp to another belt(or logoff if scrambled). About teamwork - players should act really fast, i have met Vepas yesterday, couldn't break his tank with 600 dps tengu while taking heavy damage, and forced to warp out. Before i managed to get any help, an officer disappeared.

They should just strap a sleeper AI on them, along with some sleepers escort for good measure.

Small escort of AF hard frigs, maybe a force recon ontop. sleeper ai. Scrambling, heavy neuts. Yumyum. Would make things interesting when finding an officer, probably make their bounty a wee bit bigger to ^^ Or wouldnt it be great if upon killing the officer, you rumage through the remains and find it was just a lousy standin and that the real officer is a few systems away in his newly created forward base where you get to fight ai boosted regular rats with extra spice ^^

The real fun part is that just today I was laughing with my FW-buddies about a killmail where an officer Sansha had WTF-BBQ-pwoned some Joe randoms faction fitted Golem

ok I have killed my first "upgraded" officer - Vizan
Here's what my rough impression is: long range web, no scramble Long range neuts, equivalent to ~3 heavy neuts about 1200 dps tank: large buffer, no more than a freighter, active tank not very strong. I hit it with about 1400 dps and it went down within 1 minute
It has major weakness: if you get cruiser sized ship orbiting it at 1-2 km, it will do very little damage. Of course, if you start from 30+ km you'll never get there since you'll be webbed and neuted. So what you gotta do is approach the officer with your pod, bm the location, warp your ship right on top and start orbiting.
I was using 2 ships to accomplish this, but it should be possible to solo it with weapons that don't require cap, and if you use the orbit trick.

Much tougher than before. Almost lost vagabond to Boraka or whatever his name is last night...I landed like 60km from him though. Had to bring some alts in pve ships to take him down.

Had brokara,
Fully passive drake can tank it easily. Need 2nd ship for the DPS but (armor pvp) cane did the trick. Watch out though, officers switch targets now so you need to jump out from time to time. Havn't had others.

Edited by: Ryan Starwing on 21/02/2011 11:47:26 Someone lost their drake to an officer. The officer rat killed it in 4 shots before the drake could warp out. Also someone said their raven got melted by one last night.
So I guss the new trick is to get someone in a titan to dd it.

There's an app bot for that.

To all the people saying that they haven't seen an officer spawn: tell me how many hours you ratted in the last week? Supposing 20 hours... a bot will rat more than 7x as much as you, and they'll cover every system in the area.
Do you now understand why this could be perceived as an anti-bot measure? ;-)

I`ve got Thon the other day. CNR, Vindicator and Drake was hammering him for 5-6 min until his tank was broken. CNR with decant npc fit couldnt perma tank him. If not webed he mwd`s off 200km to rep himselfe, switch targets acording to threat lvl etc... Nuff said :p

Properly fit marauder or faction BS can handle officers solo.
It just takes a lot more time than it used to.
There is no "overkill." There is only "open fire" and "I need to reload." |

Lol, that is awesome. I think it sounds about right as well. If you think about it for a moment, not only do they have amazing equipment, but they are also considered leaders in their factions. They wouldn't have got to where they are if they were that stupid.

Edited by: Dawn Black on 23/02/2011 12:38:04 Seems like not much use getting them anymore either... if you have to get 3 friends to kill it off.. split between 4 hardly worth the trouble... Better off just trying to find plexes and hope they don't boot them up equaly as well.. If so it truly means only the very few priviliged people in eve (those that were playing when t2 lotery was still there) and major carebear alliances like NC with filty rich moons can have fun actually having some isk in the game. For the rest it will just mean eve is work.
