I see this so often, I have to ask....WHY??? Where is the fun in sitting at 60km, waiting 2-5mins for a rat to spawn, shooting it down in 10 seconds flat, waiting another 2-5mins for another rat, and so on, and so on.....? Get yourself in a FRIGATE! You will be surprised just how good the frigates are against these rats.

Against the rats, maybe. But when pirate Fto shows up in a cruiser to attack said player, the frigate would be no match. Where as the battleship can frighten away most would-be aggressors.

I think that using a BS to kill frigate and cruiser rats is boring. If you have good skills use a frigate to kill frigate rats, then use a frigate or a cruiser to kill cruiser rats. The only possible reason for someone to prefer killing frigate and cruiser rats would be due to having low skills IMO, or they another personal reason.
I love killing frigates and cruisers while in a frigate, then killiing BS and cruisers while in a cruiser. I plan to kill a BS while in an inteceptor soon. The aim of the game is to have fun and I guess the definition of fun is different for everyone.

I was merely creating an example situation. Besides, I thought EVERYONE in Eve was a pirate?

Once upon a time, something very similar happened to me at the spawn in Oipo. (At least as far as I remember, it was Oipo).
The spawn was hardly a challenge for my Scorpion - let alone a "proper" NPC set-up... so I went for bash in my Moa. It was hard enough to be fun, no massive risk - but the risk was there. The loot was reasonable as well.
Then, some chap comes in in a Raven. He lets rip with his Hybrids. Naturally, the rats get a whole new kind of pounding... I might as well not be shooting.
The chap in the Raven shoots at everything that spawns and annihilates them in pretty much seconds.
I ask him if he wants to share the spawn... he agrees... yet clearly misses the point as he continues to shoot everything and scoop everything I can't get (including some of my earlier kills).
I explain he's being unfair... to which I get the stock "you can't camp a spawn" response. You can imagine all the things I tried to say; "But thats what you are doing with an overpowered ship", "You are not sharing the spawn", yah yah...
Deaf ears.
After a few minutes of "discussion" in local, I sent him a message about game spirit and left the system.
It's the equivilent of stealing all the deckchairs at the beach. And it's silly. Don't bully small ships away from spawns; they're just enjoying a bigger challenge than you are.
Oh, and if you are that certain individual and remember what happened; The unhappy Moa pilot and the five or six local residents all branding you an idiot... I have a message for you...
"Sir, you are G*d-d*mn A**h*t"

quicker they die, the quicker they respawn.
Also npc'ing isn't a willy waving competition to see who can do it in the worst ship.

Bwahahahaha love that. :)
I've never tried spawn camping, but I have run away after 5 or 6 0.4 system rats started out distancing me in my poor battered rifter before I could even get a lock :(
They build. I fight. You pray. |
