Ronja Death of Virtue MeatSausage EXPRESS	Posted - 2009.08.26 13:18:00 - [1] We are trying our bestest to outsmart and catch those abundant cloaky haulers such as viators, hoarders, prowlers and cranes. The scene is low sec. As they jump in from high sec they cloak up and warp out. So far I've tried putting up giant secure containers around the gate to try to decloak at least some of them but they can't be anchored this close to the gate and vanish after downtime. I've tried smartbombing them on their outgoing gate but tank too strong, they slip through. I need to find another solution which would allow me to catch them, suggestions? Is freighter dropping 100s of shuttles legal? Not even sure if its possible. Need some good advice, halp?

Guru Woopatang Primary.	Posted - 2009.08.26 13:22:00 - [3] The only time I have ever been caught in a cov ops hauler is: A: My game crashed B: I was drunk, asleep, wife was yelling at me, etc... lol A good pilot will not be caught in low sec. There is more of a chance in 0.0 with bubbles. Mind Over Matter: If I dont mind it dont matter. Handle every situation like a dog, if you can't hump it or eat it..
FU22 The Furry Toast	Posted - 2009.08.26 13:22:00 - [4] if anyones got a decent way of catching them i doubt they are going to share it otherwise the carebears will whine about it and get it nerfed

Mashashige Minmatar Eternal Perseverance	Posted - 2009.08.26 13:23:00 - [6] mwd ceptor for decloak, insta lock HIC for nabbing them... even then you'll only catch the laggy/stupid/unlucky ones. ======================================= "Never underestimate the power of human stupidity."

Ronja Death of Virtue MeatSausage EXPRESS	Posted - 2009.08.26 13:43:00 - [8] yeah, yeah, soo far the feedback is very weak, we know all that. We don't have 30 people in gant in order to spread out to work. Camping with 30 people a single low sec gate is one non-profitable adventure. Let me ask a specific question then. Jetisoning 200 shuttles to cause lag and/or decloak target, is that an exploit?
Poreuomai Minmatar Mirkur Draug'Tyr Ushra'Khan	Posted - 2009.08.26 14:00:00 - [9] I believe that is an exploit yes. *Let My People Go*

Well I remember dropping cans around a gate was considered an exploit for the same reason.. Leaving wrecks and cans isn't however as you aren't expected to clean them up after you pop them. So... Go get a bunch of shuttles.. Drop them on the gate then pop them all... I still doubt you'll get anything but a sleepy Viator pilot though.. I have found they are most vulnerable when they undock. Cant cloak because the station is too close and they don't align THAT fast...
The PitBoss Caldari Interstellar Brotherhood of Gravediggers Privateer Alliance	Posted - 2009.08.26 14:27:00 - [12] In Empire - Blockade runners = I WIN Button 1) You have a very low chance of catching one UNLESS they jump through a gate an happen to uncloak ontop of someone (which does happen) In 0.0 - we catch and kill them all the time. 1) Use Interceptor to run them down ... kit a smarty to uncloak them. 2) Put up a bubble on the gate they are going to warp to ... warp your ship from the gate the targets will be coming from and purposely get yourself caught in the bubble. This will be the impact point of their ship, NOW your ship will automatically uncloak any cloaked ship coming to that point Thank-You, The Pitboss (Space between The & Pitboss) Signatures by: Kalen Vox

As far as I know, yes, that is considered an exploit and will earn the dropper of said shuttles at least a temporary vacation from the game. --Vel Jesus loves you.

Ronja Death of Virtue MeatSausage EXPRESS	Posted - 2009.08.26 14:45:00 - [14] does smartbombing in range actually decloak and prevent recloak of target ship? i think the only possible solution is spread 4-5 bs around the gate and light them up in hope of at least catching some of them

Oscardoodle Amarr	Posted - 2009.08.26 14:57:00 - [16] Cluttering the gate with cans or shuttles is, I believe, deemed an exploit. At least that's what the gm said to my gang a couple years ago when someone petitionned us for doing it Basically there is no easy way to catch the uncatchable cloaky haulers without doing what everyone else has said: Get a large gang spread out 12k around the gate to create a big-ass sphere, release drones, and voila. Or big-ass bs gang smartbombing at the gate its going to warp to. Yeah.
Zedrik Cayne Gallente Standards and Practices	Posted - 2009.08.26 14:59:00 - [17] Originally by: Gavin DeVries Smartbombs will damage a cloaked ship but won't decloak them. Small smartbombs (T2 variety) max out at 3000m range... And they're the ones you will have fit to your interceptor. So, if you're within smartbomb range, you're probably within decloak range. So while yes, a smarty won't decloak you. But you will get on the killmail (And then mercilessly popped by the gate sentries if you are doing this in lowsec) -- Originally by: "RedSplat" You're the internet equivalent of a Deepfried Mars bar filled with stupid.

Ronja Death of Virtue MeatSausage EXPRESS	Posted - 2009.08.26 17:06:00 - [21] yeah, it appears we have only two options then - orbit the gate at 12km with t1 drones out for sentries to enjoy or - have 5+ bs fit 8sb and light them up as they decloak on the way out. From what i've seen it takes about 4500-6000 ehp before the thing pops, makes it rather hard to get soo many smartbombs hit simultaneusly

Cant cloak because the station is too close and they don't align THAT fast... The only time the whole "shoot them when the undock" doesn't really work is if it's a kickout station with a very small docking radius. Most competent pilots will also make instaundocks in every low-sec system that they haul through...well, at least I hope they do.

Lana Torrin Minmatar Republic Military Skool	Posted - 2009.08.27 01:28:00 - [25] So far in this thread we have had the following options presented. 1) Use an exploit and hope they don't petition 2) Hope they are slow or asleep 3) Blind luck 4) Use a massive gang to stop them cloaking up after jumping 5) Give up and ask Lana for filatio instead. I actually prefer options 2 and 3...

Xenophanes Colophon	Posted - 2009.08.27 05:35:00 - [29] to catch the warp in through the gate your best bet is a few (4 should do the trick) interceptors mwding around the gate at 12km. You obviously won't catch everyone, but you'll definitely increase your chances.

Thingymawotzit	Posted - 2009.08.27 05:55:00 - [32] Edited by: Thingymawotzit on 27/08/2009 05:55:45 Umm i have caught cloaky haulers b4. You can do it solo although youll be useless for killing anything else. 1. Basically you fit out a bs with a full rack of smartbombs. 2. You need to be sitting on the gate which the hauler is warping TO. You need to be far away enough from the gate to set off the smartbombs but close enough to do damage - which is tricky. You also need to be moving away from the gate in the direction the hauler is coming from (easy to setup in a 2 gate system). 3. Finally when hauler lands light up all smarties in order of resistance type. Unless they have uber tank on the hauler (which most dont) then youll pop it. Also youll be completely defencless to say a dictor or something that comes in so usually do this sort of thing with friends nearby.

Finally when hauler lands light up all smarties in order of resistance type. You know the blockade runner is one of the few ships that has a legitimate reason to fit the passive resistance mods.. First off, the first you will see of me is me decloaking on the gate because I got within 2km of it. Secondly you'll get one shot so you may as well set all the smartbombs to go off at the same time (or fit them in the right order so you can just press F1-F8 really really fast) or your not going to get them all off. Thirdly, a pretty basic fit for one has 18K EHP, which isn't much but you get one shot, so you'll have to Alpha that. Now.. having said that you can always just keep the things running and hope to hit me on the way in AND just before I jump. In this case you get 2 shots off.. I cant get 8 large smartbombs to do more than 2400 damage.. so thats 4800 damage for 2 full vollies.. Which doesnt make it through the shields.. Edit: Oh.. For anyone wondering.. That was a Viator with the following fit. You will notice that it is full of cargo mods, so the structure is down (but gets just over 10k cargo space).

Suitonia Gallente Genos Occidere	Posted - 2009.08.27 07:37:00 - [35] Could always use multiple smartbombing BS?, according to EFT, the Viator has the most EHP with a Cargo Expander/Cargo Rig setup. (8176 EHP), 8176 divided by 300 (large named smartbomb damage), rounded up is 29 smartbombs, which means you'll need 4 BS for it, 2EM smartbomb bs/2Explosive smartbomb bs would probably give you the ability to pop most of them. --- Please resize your signature to the maximum allowed of 400 x 120 pixels with a maximum file size of 24000 bytes.

Lana Torrin Minmatar Republic Military Skool	Posted - 2009.08.27 07:41:00 - [36] I would like to take this opportunity to point out that I think its a good thing that they are virtually imposable to catch in lowsec.. It encourages pilots to take things there and reduces the market cost for mods that I can actually buy.. I'm slack and generally just buy off the local market if I need something rather than haul it in.. Also, it encourages people to go in to lowsec... More people in lowsec makes my game more fun. What have I been up to?
Suitonia Gallente Genos Occidere	Posted - 2009.08.27 07:41:00 - [37] to pop lana's setup, you'd need 8-9 smartbombing BS :), fortunatly very few tank their blockade runners --- Please resize your signature to the maximum allowed of 400 x 120 pixels with a maximum file size of 24000 bytes. Zymurgist
Poreuomai Minmatar Mirkur Draug'Tyr Ushra'Khan	Posted - 2009.08.27 10:53:00 - [38] Not giving out any secrets by saying that interceptors rushing towards the location where you briefly decloak is always a scary sight for cloaky pilots. Also drones, lots of drones. *Let My People Go*

Karash Amerius Evolution IT Alliance	Posted - 2009.08.27 16:33:00 - [41] All Blockade runners have a MWD fitted...ALL...even the Crane. While there maybe some tanking modules fitted, its never a tank fit. ____________________________________________ "Fighting Broke" - An Ex-Merc Blog
Terranid Meester Tactical Assault and Recon Unit	Posted - 2009.08.27 23:10:00 - [42] You could always try and find a low sec ssytem that has a very short distance between gates too (and not many stargates probably). Then you need to get a bumping ship as they try and jump only to be denied by session change.

Siigari Kitawa Gallente The Aduro Protocol	Posted - 2009.09.04 13:37:00 - [47] This trick works and is legal, but it requires a lot of dedication and patience to set up. After that though the carebear tears are immense. Making Blockade Runners Cry: A How-To 1. Find that hangar full of corpses and load them up in a fast ship of your choice (honestly a blockade runner with a mwd is best for this haha) 2. Go to the gate you want to camp. For example, if you want to camp A->B (A is Highsec, B is lowsec) jump from A to B. Decloak, jettison ONE corpse. 3. Burn back through and repeat, jettisoning corpses as you go. Having corpmates help you is a good tactic as it lessens the amount of time to set up. 4. When the target jumps through, if you have laid enough corpses around the gate, they will not be able to cloak. Lock and destroy! www.siigarikitawa.com ò www.quafeultra.com ò Buy a GTC

Intense Thinker Minmatar Republic University	Posted - 2009.09.04 15:53:00 - [49] I run a Prorator through 0.0 bubble camps all the time... you just need bookmarks far off from the gate for scanning and within visual range to see what the camp is comprised of and where the campers are positioned. I have never been caught And did you know that this is in fact Surfin's Plunderbunny's forum alt? It's official!
