I notice that the Polaris Inspector frigates have like 99.9% resistance to everything. They are still basically frigates as far as I can tell. I have a question. Would it be possible to kill a Inspector frigate? Maybe if you used a battleship. Or maurader.
And how long would it take? And would I get banned if I tried it out when I spot one?

They have 1 second recharge time on shields. In theory, possible. In practice, no.

You can't target them I belive. They regen nearly instantly. ...A bs wont hit it with its big guns...
It could possibly be done by a horde of smartbombing bs if I recall some old discussion on the same subject.

Well you can't target them so you most likely need to use an AoE weapon such as a smartbomb, bomb or DDD. However the attribute most probably has truncated the value and the 9s go on for ever therefore any damage done is negligible

Maybe if you hade a full BS fleet or fired of 4 or 5 doomsdays you might chip the paint.

What is it about them that makes them untargetable? Is there some module or ship attribute that achieves this?

and if a GM/dev shows up in a polaris frig it means he is investigating/fixing something having to do with a petition most likely and attacking them will usually get you into trouble.

Podding a DEV will get you mad props, you'll be showered in gifts, loose women and mirre. You'll also get mad devs but as I see it the rewards outweigh the downsides.

So the untargetable thing is character based as opposed to ship based? I didn't know if it has a sig radius of 0, super leet sensors or something.

I think it's just simply an attribute specific to the ship.

If you can find a gm/dev, AND get them to stay there long enough for you to get a fleet together to kill it.. they would probably get more devs and a jovian fleet would wtfbbq you back..
can we do this in jita?

Unfortunatly in order to use gods magic weapons you need to polaris skill at level 1 and to train the polaris skill you need the polaris skill at level 5. Its so evil

I read somewhere that one polaris frigate was in fact killed with the consent of the pilot.
I can't find the source for this, so its got to be downgraded to unconfirmed rumour at best.

Assuming it is only 99.9% resistance, and not 99.999999999999999 ad infinitum
it would take 2,184 perfectly simultaneous doomsdays of any flavor to pop a polaris legatus frigate

See? This is why Devs can have nice things. They work on the game, so they get the cool stuff 
And, I don't think it's possible to set off that many DDs...wouldn't be able to fit all those Titans on grid as far as I know. And if you could, WHY? Killing spree when the Titans have to recharge ><

350 Titans all firing and all have to hit at exactly the same time...assuming he's not fitting a DC II or something because 60% resists on the 1.2million HP of structure would take a few more titans ;). The answer "All of them" is incorrect as all of them wouldn't dent this thing. Besides if you tried the pilot would do something like '/destroy titan all' and that would be the end of of 350 titans...

It's actually CCPs employment screening process.
If you can find one and pop one then you get a Job.
Of course the only method of doing this is to beat a DEV in a drinking game and persuade him to undock. hence, beer, knowledge of the game, and a willingness to play in a sandbox means you might be able to understand the customer base.

Dude your fleet has to have an alpha strike of 17.5 million damage. Oh and it's a frigate with a frigate sig radus of 30m and you have to get rid of the pilots 'can't lock' skill/mod/special super powers that make him able to leap tall buildings'.

Just 1 high and 1 mid?
Comeone, its the uber dev frigate, it should have 8 highs 8 mids, 8 lows, have 8 turret hardpoints, and 8 launcher hardpoints and bonuses to battleship guns. THey should also have a 250m3 drone bay, and a +5 bonus to the number of drones controlled

cool cool, we have a winner, mad props.
you may want to share a fitting screen and some info with the community about it though hehe
on a serious note why dont you set up an yearly lottery for full year active players and first 10 winners get temporary omnipotent and polaris to 5, a legatus frigate, a 500TF medslot module , all GM tools (like amxmodmenu i guess) and a trip to Magic Land; then let them pod themselves back to reality (tranquility which is)
like a pilot that allows passengers to visit his c`o`c`k`pit. or the pilot is afraid visitors might take control?
