Originally by: M3ta7h3ad Surely this is impossible. Concord seem to spawn an ever expanding fleet of ships the longer you survive an attack, so how can you keep tanking an exponentially increasing number of ships without dying?
It doesn't increase, it's a set little spawn. It only increases if you kill the concord ships.

Originally by: Splagada how can you be sure this geddon died?
(newbie here, curious!!)
Because if you shoot someone who isn't flagged for you, your ship goes boom, period. You don't escape CONCORD, you just hope the raping of your ship isn't too painful.

Is concord harder to evade than the customs agents? It's pretty easy to get through systems in a frig with an MWD, even going to stations and docking and such. I don't see how it would be much different to Align, gank somebody, and insta to to a gate out of highsec, or a station. ________________ ~Phelan Lore

You can't use stations or gates when concord flagged, I think. And they follow you in warp. And as soon as they attack, you're webbed and scrambled. No chance to get out then.

what in the heck happened to using Caracals for high sec hits?
Im pretty sure a caracal loaded with assaults on high coulda done the job for a lot cheaper.
Not to mention they would have made a few mil profit from a BPC

Concord warps in when you launch the missiles, not when they hit. When your ship is gone, your missiles wont detonate. --*=*=*-- Megadon CCP wanted a well known artist and celebrity to test the new font so it's approval would be well known. They got Ray |

Originally by: M3ta7h3ad I know of the warp with a freighter exploit but its such an arse to sort out that I doubt anyone would even attempt it.
I've read the idea, and I believe that's impossible... I've tried making as farthest BM as I could, and the best I've got is around 340au bm. From there Observator tends to give much more BMs that are closer to the sun than even farther ones. In other words, it seems like the farther you are from the sun, the less there is a probability for Observator to give you the direction away from it... Yes, the ship I scanned for has always been about 1 au away from me, and I've launched new Observator to use at each new point.
So even if you manage to make 450au+ bm, this makes 15 minutes warp... However, don't you need 30 min for aggro to wear off? Oh well even if 15 min is enough, you can't have enough capacitor to jump that far.. you'll prolly stop about mid-way to meet some Concord BSes greating you.

I suspect either ones in cans or ships, possibly both, escaped the net.

:o Seeing as tanking the customs agents is allowed... could you perhaps give us some info on tanking the customs agents?
I've shot them previously in a shield tank caracal, I last long enough to realise that its only the custom agents that fire upon you, sentry guns dont fire. Which means in some systems its 3 frigate + 2 battleships. :) Surely thats tankable. :) ----- If you kill all the wolves, your gonna end up with a crapload of bunnies, and by bunnies I mean stupid people Eve & Linux Woot! |

Hmm. That should be doable. Concord do silly high damage but Customs don't. Can you use a stargate with customs firing on you? If sentries don't fire at you when attacking customs, you could sit on a gate, fire at them and jump to see if it works.
A few quick calculations of 3 customs frigs and 2 customs bs shows they're tankable with a good BS setup, probably just as easy with a HAC. They deal three damage types depending on race, which makes the HAC's natural resistances worthwhile over the BS's larger repair rate. I mean a normal decent tank will take care of customs, no need to break out all the faction gear and fancy tricks on this one. Fancy getting a job as a smuggler?

Edited by: M3ta7h3ad on 27/04/2006 11:35:00 lol :) well I believe they respawn (caracal lasted about 30 seconds but was firing heavies with full tank, so didnt last long enough to shoot down a frigate) but if all your doing is gate to gate smuggling, and can tank... It could be an option :)
Problem with jumping is the 30second agression timer... you cant jump straight away as you get the "due to recent hostile actions.." Also.. the timer you get isnt a global criminal one, its the yellow faction is miffed at you one :) ----- If you kill all the wolves, your gonna end up with a crapload of bunnies, and by bunnies I mean stupid people Eve & Linux Woot! |
