first day after the patch one corp mate was ratting in a vaga. found brokara and died in 3 seconds. he was pointed and neuted. took 2 mach's and vaga and a drake to take her down. second vaga had to warp away in hull after second hit. i dont want to imagine how chelm is tanking and hitting. for those guys complaining that they found 1 officer in 4 years.... you're doing it wrong. i got brokara twice in a week and in the same day with this new patch my corp mates got brokara and selynne. another guy even got 2 officer spawns 2 hours away from each other in the same system and the funny part is that system has only one belt - guys in venal knows prolly which one.

Originally by: monkfish1234 officer rats are still pretty easy as long as your in a ship that can tank triple bs from belts.
I killed kaikka in a myrm a few days ago, bigger issue was having the dps to kill it rather than tanking it's damage, but 5 hammerhead 2's got me there in the end.
Except the minor fact that you met an officer before they were "improved".
unless they were improved in incursion 1.2 the no it was after the supposed improvement. and yes he was still easy to kill.
here is the ship i was in. ------------------------------------------------

A question: the guys that have fought the 2new" officers have checked the kind of damage they do and the resistance holes or they have kept to the principle "they are of faction X, so they do A and B damage and are weak against A damage"?
The easiest and more logic way to boost them would have been to give them more or less uniform resistances and variable damage in the form of missiles or variable ammunitions for autocannons.

Just took down brokara but lost a cane and an ishtar in the process. he neuts up to 50k now, switches targets about every 30 seconds or so. were able to finally finish him with an ishtar and 2 rr tengus. Best thing to do would be keep range it seems, my sleeper tank tengu went down to 50% shield since brokara turned my hardeners off with his neut. But was able to get the other tengu close enough to rep. I did notice that he had a hell of a shield tank not so much armor and then structure took a while.

I do believe the people that complain about not being able to solo an officer spawn anymore, i'm sure there's plenty of REAL persons who actually rat for the love of it( I used to play Diablo 2, where one of my favourite activities was fishing for items - the same thing bots did).
So please don't take offense when I imagine this scenario: some NPC with his ship fit like DHB Wildcat in his days of glory videos, laughing maniacally as he pops ratters one after the other, until the only way to take him down is hotdropping caps on his ass.
Double the fun if the NPC is actually actively controlled by a GM and loves to **** up someone's so-called lucky day.
I believe that this buff immediately affects botting ravens, probably to the point that the bot ends up with a script telling him to steer clear of the system with the officer in(even though logic dictates it'll just be replaced with a script where the bot sends an SMS to its owner, telling him to bring a gang :( ).
If their spawn rate is increased, there's a chance this will encourage ratters to group more often, possibly encouraging small gangs?
I know sometimes 0.0 feels like everyone and their distant cousin of their ant's nephew with a lovely singing voice is piloting a supercap while frothing at the mouth for kills, but i doubt many people would risk anything bigger than a carrier for such a spawn. And sincer this is Hotdrop Online, whoever brings a carrier brings the plague with him.
But yeah, solo hostile ratters are pretty much ****ed.And i'm not so sure I dislike that.

i wouldnt say the risk is anywhere near the reward from the accounts so far, but its certinly better than a very slightly tougher belt rat like it has been for 7 years.
good job ccp about time

When we see rats that passively targets ships with mining lasers active and jam their mining lasers from a distance as well as rats that carry smart bombs specifically designed to kill drones, then I'll giggle.

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.
More time consuming != more difficult Until they add tackle to officer spawns, this is no more risky/difficult than a lvl 1 mish.

Originally by: James Tiberius Kirk CCP, sleeper AI and stats on ALL rats please.
Gallente players get out, amirite?
e: also its gonna be p funny when you find an officer but then the spawn warps out in the time it takes you to round up the four other people necessary to killaving it. What a stupid change, officers should be soloable by a well-fit BS / T3. Belt ratting is not a group activity.
Having done solo sleeper sites in C3s while using drones, I say balderdash. Drones ships can do sites, you just have to micromanage the drones, and you know what? you lose some, just as you expend hybrid ammo, or shoot missiles. It is the cost of doing business. Can you launch a flight of heavies and do fine solo? No not really, but find me a solo fight where you can. In a fleet of two ships, you can much easier launch those heavies with a lot less trouble. ** Warning Signature Detected ** If you need to douche, please do it at home. |

so it seems to be true. I will never be able to kill another officer spawn again. After years of officer hunting, making billions in loot and spending it on faction fitted bs and t3 ships to be used for solo PvP, it's all over.
I can never be what I was again. Now I got the option of joining some big alliance and becoming an obedient soldier or continuing poor and meaningless existence as obsolete solo pvper.
I tried enjoying this game despite all the **** CCP does to it, but they just don't stop. Maybe it's time to move on

Well I can say I wholeheartedly approve. Now we just need the similar changes to all faction belt rats, give em sleeper AI, make them work with the other rats in their spawn and either give them scrams, or make them smart enough to warp out when they're in structure.
In the past I've been lucky enough to go AFK while mining and return to find that my drones have killed a Shadow Serpentis frigate and now have a fancy pirate implant that's worth more than all the ore I would mine. This shouldn't happen, at the very least it should leave before it dies, and if it's got enough firepower it should kill my drones and then me.

No.
Encountered Tobias yesterday - 4900 damage @ 70km on cynabal mwd on no transversal, 4300 damage @ 70 mwd off high transversal, 3500 damage @ 170km mwd off high transversal.
Took U'K two sleipnirs and a scimitar to kill it, the scimitar had to warp once which forced one of the sleipnirs to warp as well - total time 10 minutes.
have fun with your solo tengu.

Ya so I got tuvan. Tuvan killed a raven, 2 drakes, and a cane before hitting my like 2000dps passive shield ishtar. Then consider the loot tables... tuvan has only 3 good modules out of the like 20 tuvan modules. Because frankly X-type stuff is better. Moreover, NO TUVAN MODULES EVEN DROPPED.
So they have tons of dps where you pretty much have to have 1 of like 3 passive shield tanking ships in order not to die or a capital ship.
So 9/10 legit ratters are newbs who cant do the good anoms. 1/10 are the ratters who ratted for the chance of officers.
So literally here's what has happened.
The 9/10 legit ratters are just going to avoid the **** out of officers. The 1/10 those looking for officers cant solo anymore really... so they have all gone to exploring for complexes.
Bots took some time to adapt. Apparently they autodetect and avoid officers and like convo or evemail the owner of the bot. Who is rich from botting and they drop a nyx on the officer.
In the end. Supply is going dry and when the giant supplies clean up. Eventually the only people really making any isk from officers will be bots. ------------------------ To make a megathron from scratch, you must first invent the eve universe.

I had 2 officers since the patch and talked to someone who had Estamel
The Estamel was killed with stealth bomber + Ishtar combo. I killed my officers with Damnation + Kronos combo, which was overkill
Basically, officers can be killed with 2 people, especially if 1 of them is buffer tanking battlecruiser or less. The trick is to get right on top of it first, as at close range with some traverse, the officer damage is reduced significantly. Cap injector is pretty much a must if you got active tank and weapons.
Officer does about 1200 damage and uses 3 heavy neuts, with long range web. Officer tank is maybe 500, so with 800 dps it can be broken (with 2 ships that 400 dps each, which is reasonable).
Officers don't warp scramble, so as long as you stay aligned you can always escape safely. Only stupid people will lose a ship to an officer

Looking at that... you havent met a new officer. Every single race officer would have easily ****d that myrm. If you were in sansha space, you wouldnt be able to do any dps to the officer. If you were in bloods space, you wouldnt be able to tank. If you were in guristas space, you wouldnt be able to lock long enough to break the tank before you died. serps get into range and ur dead with so much dps they have. ------------------------ To make a megathron from scratch, you must first invent the eve universe.

Glad to hear you're still rollin ^^ I unfortunately only saw Kaikka, but couldn't kill him in my SB, and didn't have anyone to report it cause all of my RL friends stopped playing. So probably one of the VIRII/Morsus Mihi guys got him

Edited by: Five 0ne on 05/03/2011 13:01:40 Edited by: Five 0ne on 05/03/2011 13:01:13 so here i was ratting in my legion, when all of a sudden i land on Brokara and 4 BS escorts , my first officer, ooh goodie let`s take a screenshot or two... 10 seconds later i realise i`m at 0 cap, so had to bail fast. tried several attempts to get her, but i barely scratched her shields by the time i had to warp out. this is the damage she does , 85% EM resist, 83% thermal resist :
>Brokara Ryver lightly hits you, doing 546.5 damage. >Brokara Ryver hits you, doing 764.8 damage. >Brokara Ryver aims well at you, inflicting 907.8 damage. >Paradise Cruise Missile belonging to True Power hits you, doing 10.8 damage.
her neut range is at least 30km,web at least 12km range
i`m wondering, are all the officers the same in terms of dps done/dps tanked/neut range? or are there "harder" ones than this? would appreciate if anyone else who encountered one would check the logs
