some clarification over this is probably in order, I've heard many freight shipping service have already shut down their operation until this is resolved. |

Clever, but it's clearly a borderline exploit with severe ramifications for the game without a quick fix, so it will cause concord to be buffed again to prevent it. |

Ho boy... now just imagine if goons use this technique when they burn jita. They will be able to use 1 tornado per freighter and with such a massive stockpile that they are sure to have, they can literally shut down jita for months.
Of course CCP will not let go on for so long and will probably perma ban half of goonswarm in the process, but man they can bring CCP to its knees with all the lost subs. |

Why ban goons, when they can just buff concord? |

Excellent,
1. Dual point sebo'd inty. 2. Insta lock and point red flashy Tornados. 3. Watch CONCORD apply DPS. 4. Alt loots / salvages Tornados and ganked target while main collects KMs. 5. Profit.
Always nice to have a new hobby.

I've heard of suicide ganking Hulks and warping off (say to 300km) to get concorded off the belt and not need to use pulling alts.
The boomerang thing will just get overused and lead to more dumb buffs to CONCORD if it doesn't get considered an exploit. "Nullsec alliances will now begin counting reporters on staff along with supercapitals and tech moons. Unironically." - The Mittani |

not my place to name names if they aren't saying anything, suffice to say that I know at least a few that's suspending shipments 'til this is clarified.
It's a no brainer really, nobody wants to lose a freighter/JF + cargo to a single tornado and bumping ship. |

IMO the boomerang manoeuvre should be allowable - it is clever but not abuse.
It is the fact that the freighter is getting bumped to prevent it warping that makes it an exploit - it has no means of escape.

Maybe the boomerang idea is not full exploit, but its way overpowered. With a nono tornado you can get away from concord almost 100% of the time in order to kill someone else, even in 0.9-1.0 space. And as the tornado can do 10-13K alphas, most ships will die instantly without the option to retaliate.
About the bumping, if I remember it right, just bumping someone for fun is an exploit, but doing so to keep people from getting away to make isk off their body, is not. But to frieghters its as well pretty overpowered. |

No. Bumping to harrass/keeping someone locked down for extended periods of time, is not allowed. But you can bump people for fun all you want. I do it now and then when passing big stuff on gates, nothing wrong with a little bit of annoyance. It's not defined by your 'fun' factor either, it's up to the GM to decide if it's extensive enough to be considered harrassment. shiptoastin' liek a baws |

I suggest you do so soon, if you want to benefit from it. It's pretty obvious it's overpowered to the point of being broken and will be nerfed one way or another. CCP could ignore it while there were only a few players using it, but since the trick is now becoming common knowledge, it's just a matter of time before it's usage will become widespread and force CCP to intervene. |

I doubt CCP will do anything at all, even with their new and improved focus on "Internet Spaceships" [sic]. You have enemies? Good, that means you stood up for something, sometime in your life.
