This is why they spoke at fanfest about changing it to a consistent 15minute timer, in all cases.
They aren't escaping the 15 minute timer, since one never started.
By your logic, they are escaping CONCORD by PVPing in lowsec. Herp derp! - "Do not touch anything unnecessarily.

A consistent 15 min timer is a good thing, i hope it's implemented.
But I'm confused as how my logic says or insinuates anything about CONCORD? CONCORD's presence is greatly reduced in low sec as per game design. If you camp at the gates and agress the guns will fire on you...and by design you can escape those. That is working as intended.

Tyler Rainez wrote:Valid arguement - Cheers! However, just as you stated it is being brought up and I, as well for others I'm sure, want this changed. There are many ways to escape pvp as it is.

I just want to keep it that way.
I am on your side, dont get me wrong, this being my "main" and isk making toon, that never undocks or loses ships(doesnt fly them) and actually makes iskies out of people's losses, I would totally be *for* the change. I'm just trying to point out how things are AT THIS MOMENT. It's one thing to claim something, acknowledge that you've been mistaken and hope for change and explain why such change is necessary like Tyler ... compared to digging your trench deeper and continuing to fling poo all over others like certain other posters.
Just because you think something should be in state B, CCP acknowledges they will bring up discussion whether to change state A to B, doesnt mean state A doesnt exist as de facto at this moment. What's more, it also means due to retroactive law principles, unless there was clear "common sense" exploiting, aka blasters shooting to 250 km, moon goo out of thin air, T2 bpo's from Devs, there wont be any penalties/payments for issues that have already happened. Aka GM's wont act upon the matter, but I'm sure those who filled petitions about it are finding that out. |

Goliath - I chatted with CCP Masterplan about this very issue at Fanfest last week after his Crimewatch presentation, and also brought it up as an "avoiding combat" issue at the Wardec roundtable. Be sure to get with him if you are to discuss this.
Others - As a JF hunter, my group having killed 138 of them in one year, what happens when one logs off prior to breaking gate cloak is not an exploit in and of itself in the purest sense. Believe me, if we had caught the ones which have done this there would be even fewer JFs plying the spacelanes today. The pilot is merely counting on his ship's huge amount of HP to save him, and yeah, it's a big pisser and getting around this calls for a huge scaling up of tactics. In fact it was this very issue which spurred us in going on a murdering spree against these things in the first place.
There are also two additional, separate scenarios besides this one regarding JFs and gate cloak specifically which can make them immune to tackle and thus an aggression timer, and I have corresponded with CCP regarding these... however the fixes to this one and the others are not simple as they can have quite a wide range of unintended side effects elsewhere... there were some decent ideas, however, which I hope CCP further develops.

Change the mechanic such that if you are agressed during the logoff timer you catch the 15 min agro timer.
A player should not be able to log off to avoid imminent destruction.
If you legitimately DC while jumping into a gate camp or in warp to one (bubble) the effect should be the same as if you did not dc... that is you die.

You find ut unfair that the Freighter survived them because they didn't bring enough ships to kill it fast enough?
EDIT: Just so you know it. I'm actually in for adding a 5 seconds timer where you still can be vulnerable even after logging off at a gate before you have uncloaked.
But that doesn't mean that the current mechanics as it is is an exploit. |

I call it as it is
Butthurt
Cause they planned something, failed to take the fact into consideration of being able to log off as it is currently working, and failed so hard they blame the other guy when they screwed up about something they should already of know (like how you don't AFK in a hulk, period. Many hulk pilots learn that eventually and I am certain these guys will plan accordingly in the future to get those freighters). In current game mechanics, that blob fleet fcked up but they won't acknowledge how they failed and belive CCP has to fix the issue...but according to the video they only need just a few more seconds and thats just a few percent more DPS from all the pilots needed.
I belive a better fix, is to leave it as is . But once you log back in, CONCORD comes after you for avoiding conflict with a suicide super frigate. CONCORD then blows up your freighter, blows up the wreck, pods your ass, and nullifies the clone insurance . Nothing left behind and you lose it all |

The greater issue here is not that there wasn't enough DPS to kill a ~330k EHP ship in under 1 minute, the issue is more of a case of large ships such as freighters, jump freighters, and even orcas being granted risk-free flying when going through gates unscouted or without an escort.
Jump through a gate and see reds/bads? Just CTRL-Q before gate cloak is down and you are pretty much guaranteed to save your ship before you derez. Having to cart around 10 Vindicators to kill a ship like this in < 1 minute is not a realistic expectation, especially if this situation is not expected.
This issue of avoiding combat by using logoff tactics to correct your mistake has even more implication in a wardec setting, where the logged off pilot can be kicked from corp and log back on no-longer a war target and get away scott-free.

I didn't at all, and you're focussing on one small incident and are failing to consider the bigger picture.
What you saw in that video was one example of this happening out of the many which have in the past. The freighter pilot got lucky, period. He was stupid and drove an expensive ship that cannot defend itself into lowsec unscouted and without an escort.
In normal cases, the consequence of that is the ship is removed from the pilot's ownership though straight-forward PVP. You make a fatal mistake, your ship blows up, end of story. Only this changes with ships of high enough EHP in that they can use gate cloak to avoid being aggressed prior to logging off and, once logged off and being shot at, it will usually live long enough to avoid an embarrassing loss.
If you think about it, this is no different than the old logoffski when ships of sufficient EHP (moms, titans) could log off with aggression and survive the 15 minutes until they derezed. CCP fixed this to many cheers.

Swoosh. Disconnects are not the problem here, we're talking about the possibility of people logging off to unfairly save their ships from being destroyed. The specifics of the situation in the OP are unimportant.

Remember that in any 'normal' situation, one hurricane fitted with tackle would be able to kill a freighter. This use of the logoff changes it from a normal situation to a potential exploit where the freighter has the unfair advantage of disappearing into thin air (uh, void) after a minute. To put it differently, failing to bring enough DPS to kill a freighter in one minute is not actually a shortcoming of the pirates, it's the freighter pilot who is taking advantage of a game mechanic that was not designed to 'protect' spaceships.
As I have said before, I do not think the pirates should have to find a workaround for someone else playing unfairly. |
