The real problem here is the OP lacks creativity and wants CCP to simplify the game so that he doesn't suffer for that deficiency. Founding member of the Belligerent Undesirables movement. |

While at it, they can make the entire game 1.0 security, so the OP can warp to cynos without fear of bubbles.

FDIC Agent wrote:For those of you who don't know, squirrel fishing is using a cyno and a sling bubble to trap pilots who go to investigate the situation. What is becoming alarmingly out of control is using this next to a deathstar pos with hundreds of abandoned drones at the edge of the sling bubble. So if being dragged through the pos shield wasnt enough, the drones will decloak you. Effectively creating a trap that can not be countered. What makes things even worse is they use this very pos as a midpoint for their jump freighters.
So, in order to stop their effort free logistics we warp cyno dictors to the cynos to catch the jump freighters only to find out it is nothing but that stupid bait cyno. Another issue is they runs the bait cyno for hours and hours, day after day. So much that eventually no one bothers to check it out anymore. So their jump freighters are even more safe because everyone assumes the cyno for the jump freighter is bait.
Something needs to be done.
Your tears are delicious and it overfloweth to fuel my POS. Use a scout you pvp wannabes... or go back to ganking hulks in highsec.... Vote for Malcanis for CSM8 https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=192717&find=unread |

Lol thats awesome!! Guess you get what you deserve for not dscanning for a pos in the cyno's direction or using combat probes to see if its safe to warp there. Another reason to get rid of local. Make players use their dscan. Learn to use it. Lol |

You have to be a little nuts to try it, and then when you die, they say..."Thanks for all the fish..."

This right here is where you fail. Investigating the situation means warping in at a distance. But I'm guessing you're just mad because you tried to warp to 0 to see if you could catch some lowly transport ship to gank and instead got blown up. Also, last time I checked, the directional scanner picks up POSs, drones, and bubbles, so it's kinda your fault. Also, judging by the tone of your post, it sounds like you've been caught like this before. Natural Selection at it's finest if you don't learn a lesson the first few times. |

I just wanted to thank the OP for giving an aspiring jump freighter pilot some excellent ideas. I wish I could shake the hand of the person who first adopted these methods. |

Can't be countered? I can think of many counters, many of which have been mentioned here. Maybe use those and stop getting caught in it? Especially do not warp to 0 if you are "investigating" as you claim. |

The Hundreds of Drones + hordes of PoS Mods probably is a lag inducing thing, so consider petitioning the drones, as for the bubble/Cyno/PoS...... Yea.... tough luck, Harden up, blow their PoS up when there is no cyno up. (Or just snipe 10 mods a day at random times and force them to continually replace them, bleed them) |
