I do love these threads. Any time an exploit is used, people throw their arms in the air screaming for justice, unless the victim of the exploit was goons, then suddenly everyone's supporting exploits.

I assume you have logs that confirm this?

No exploits no loop holes, just an unlucky Titan pilot that was to close to the edge of the POS shields. yes you can be in the pos and part of your titan will still stick out, hence why he was bumped at over 1k. Please dont let facts stop the crying about exploits and how CFC should never lose a Titan due to pilot error. CCP deemed capital pos bowling using this method an exploit something like 8 years ago. Now, if CCP are now going to allow this then be sure we will also start doing this. Really? It's kind of ironic then that I first learnt about POS bowling when I was in the CFC a few years back. This was at the time of the Fountain war to evict BoB. We were dicking around in Fountain and the BoB pets were all POS'ed up when Vee said on comms that he would show us how POS bowling worked, at which my little ears perked up. He had got hold of the POS passwords through spies and we landed in the centre of a red POS. I think the idea was that we would either bump the BoB pets out or they would change the password to eject us out at high speed which would have a small chance of us colliding with the enemy ships and bumping them out at high speed. It was all fascinating stuff :)
Thats not the pos bowling of old. We are talking about not having the PW and bumping people out. Join Bat Country today and defend the Glorious Socialist Dictatorship |

It was all fascinating stuff :) That's actually a different case. If you have the POS password and can get into the POS you are allowed to bump any ships out of it you want to. This situation is where you use a flaw in jump mechanics to cause you to bump a ship through a POS shield without knowing the password to it.

Titans can DD from 150km why did they jump in as close to the pos as possible?

Maybe CCP will agree with you once they are done doing damage control for the WhiteWolf drama presently ensuing. That viddy was posted last month, so you would think they've had time to investigate if someone reported it.. especially given how verboten POS bowling is.

"Bumping ships, that are located within password protected starbase force-fields, out of the force-field from outside without having the correct password or corporation/alliance permissions as configured in the tower settings, is considered an exploit.
Attempts to bypass the game mechanics of starbase force-fields are fully visible in server logs to CCP GamesGÇÖ staff and will result in appropriate action taken against the involved user accounts as per the EVE Online Suspension and Ban Policy from here on." |

Personally, I'd consider a ship that can't be targeted because the POS shield prohibits it as GÇ£located withinGÇ¥ the shield. For most ships, that holds true, but the oversized collision spheres on top of the already oversized bodies of Titans make the mechanics diverge.

Thanks for the info.
Exploits are bad, and using them to kill ships is also bad. But that titan could have just as easily been bumped before it became untargettable. There's just no way to know, especially with the evidence provided.
IMO CCP shouldn't reimburse ships for what might have happened. That's just a bad road to follow (again IMO). |

So? Either Tippia or Varesk is right. Either Titan could be sticking out of POS and be bumpable but not lockable or it couldn't? The Mittani: "the inappropriate drunked joke"

The only way to smack a titan out of a POS if a tiny bit is near the POS sheilds is to cyno in a bunch of very high mass ships (other titans) onto that point. The titans are so large that they will cyno into the pos (and inside the targdt titan) which will bump the titansin opposite directions. The target titan will fly out of the pos and then can be targeted by DD. It is impossible to stop a bumped titan when its moving at 1000+km/s which is what Vee's titan was doing. It is also impossible for a titan to reach these speeds unless it gets cyno bumped by another titan.

As I mention here, the bump could have happened before the titan became untargettable, at which point (as you say) it would be impossible to stop and it would coast all the way through the pos shield (as it did).
The problem is the video doesn't show the critical part of the action which would constitute an exploit. An exploit might have happened, then again it might not have happened.
Reimbursing for a might have been is not a good idea (IMO). |

All you goons are hilarious, especially those of you who claim Vee was inside the shield but present no evidence. I guess Vee told you himself right? Even though he was AFK at the time?
CCP claim they log bumps on ships which are inside the shield, so if this really was an exploit then they will have evidence. Seeing as nobody has been banned and it's been weeks, the odds are pretty good it's not an exploit.
You know, this whole issue could have been avoided if titans were more reasonably sized in the first place. Reducing their size by a factor of 4 would probably be the best buff CCP could ever give them. - |
