The Op has the greatest name in the game, belongs to best named corp and has the best corp history. |

The effort put into executing any type of gank is an exponential factor of effort that the gank target puts in. The quality of the target's fit is pretty much irrelevant. |

I was warping to an incursion site. These sites are on the system overview for everyone. The multiboxer was probably bouncing from site to site among the 5 sites, hence I never had a chance to use Dscan.
You know that you can narrow dscan down to 15 degrees and that dscan range is centred on camera angle and has nothing to do with where you are heading. In a 20 sec warp a well practised pilot can dscan 5 incursion sites.

I was warping to an incursion site 60 au from the dockup. How would dscan help find the catas that were bouncing around? I had no idea they were in sys....and even if i found them on scan it would be too late to do anything about it. They happened to meet me at the gate by sheer luck. There was nothing to do about it, thankfully I survived.
1. The longer the warp the more you get to scope the system out enroute 2. Always know who is in system with you 3. It's never too late - the odds of failure are drastically increased when you lack belief 4. Wait you warped 60 au to a site from a station and then to the gate - how far was gate from site? how far was gate from station? Most locations in system are clustered together in groups you have travelled through 3 clustered groups.
I would consider myself a run of the mill bitter vet, not an expert on much in Eve Online, but I know there is always ways to make things swing more in your favour. Before aiming to change the mechanics of the game, learn the depth of use of possible mechanics:
bump aligning, dscan focus, web aligning, slingshoting, corp, alliance standing, criminal standing, bounty standing, shiptype overview selection, cloaked warp in, in line safes, bouncing safes...
...all of these mechanic utilisations can be used with differing effect in different space types. |
