Well, a few of us were sitting at a gate, and the gate becomes active. Jumps in an enemy. We look for him on the scanner, he uncloaks and Me (in a scorp) and 2 frigs lock him down, scramble and web. We got him into armor and he vanishes. Not warps away, but just disappears.
Ok, we tested this and here's what we got:
If you are scrambled and webbed, and you log off, you DO NOT disappear. You stay in space until the modules are turned off.
So this guy should not have disappeared. We tried to figure out how he disappeared and what we found out is this:
If you start another copy of EVE and log in to your account, NOT A CHARACTER, just the character selection screen, and your character in space vanishes.
Now, we reported this to CCP, but they can only say that he didn't log on another char, but they can't confirm that he logged into the character selection screen.
This is a pretty severe loop hole in my opinion and needs to be dealt with.
The guy's name is Zervun of Zoners, he was in an apoc.

It's true, because I tested it with the help of a friend.
It's a matter of recoding. CCP set it up so that the only way you can have 2 characters logged in at once is to have two accounts. Well, they just need to bump the flagging system that autounlogs the other ship to after a Character has logged into the game. It won't stop it but it will make the exploit trackable, and trackable exploits can be punished :).
I keep a teddy bear in my pod with me. A teddy bear with sharp teeth, massive claws, and a pinache for eating the flesh of podded corpses. I call him "Fuzzy". |

Freakin log-offer people, thats so incredibly annoying, you get all excited that you get to shoot someone and maybe ransom or kill and then they just dissapear and all your fun goes away and all you can do is curse many words at your monitor and then go do something else while fowning.
Sincerely,
Rasta

Hmmm its usually the only way to get stuff fixed...making it a big enough problem  . Stupid crap like this has to go.
(And that also goes for logging off so the pod doesn't even appear in space after the ship is destroyed. But thats a different matter...)
=========================
One small step for me, one giant leap for ALT-kind. |

The reason I posted this is so that something will be done about it. If we kept it to ourselves it wouldn't have solved the problem. Also, camping gates is not why I play EVE.

Oh noes, now the 5% of people in 0.0 space that didnt know about this tactic will learn about it.

Yeah, Stainers log out too. I came across a Tyrell pilot (who shall remain nameless) flying a Blackbird - I was in a Vigil, I started shooting him, got him into armour and he logged off to save his pod. His ship didn't disappear but his pod never appeared when he exploded.
Yeah it's lame, but people will still keep doing it.

I didn't name him cause he was CA, I named him cause he used such exploit. I wouldn't have pointed it out if he disappeared after 2 minutes like normal, but he vanished after less then 30 seconds.

It couldn't be an exploit, or this thread would have been locked already
