I just started playing again, and was trying to find a home. I had a Mammoth and an Armegeddon, I had to dip into a .4 system to get to another .8, I got jumped by 6 ravens. They killed the indy with everything i own on board and beat up my arma real nice, however i got the arma away. Warped to a planet. I was trying to catch my breath and they warped on top of me. There were 10 asteroid belts, 10 planets no stations. Several moons. I warped randomly at 15km, 60km about 6 times everytime they warped in. EACH TIME, they warped right on top of me. I was not ganged with them. Finally after my 6th warpout my connection just dropped i was in mid warp. when i came back i was in a pod. Has something changed where you can be tracked in system now? I think the probability is extrememly low that these guys would warp right on me every time (Close enough to try and warp jam) In a .4 system and pick not only the planet correctly but the warp in distance too? What am i missing here? they were obviously in formation.

they can just watch ur warp trail leading to planet. or moon. soon as u arive warp to a diff point if u got shield booster use it so u mid warp and make a safe spot or get there and log never herd of tracking tho

addendum: there was no delay in warp periods it was literally i came out of warp so did they a second or too later. 6 times in a row. they had no time to "search" they knew exactly where i was everytime.

yea i am not complaining at the loss just wandering if i should change tactics. I have seen plenty of scraps im pretty much solo and have to run a lot, never have i been tracked this well before.

Yea, its pretty easy to track someone going to system objects. Just look at the trail and double click on the object they headed towards. Works a lot of the time and possible to do in a couple of seconds (hence the short delay).

If it is a 0.4-0.0 system you should warp to a station after being attacked, if they follow you there and try to come close they will be attacked by sentry guns. Question is if you can return fire there, I'm not sure of that and i't's important to find that out before you use a battleship.

Next time warp to moons around planets far away rather than just planets or moons close by.

Its not that hard to see where warp trails go, ive done it myself befor, and with a crow you usually get there streight after them since they are really quick to allign.

Yea there were no stations couldnt go there i was at a gate sentry guns didnt make a difference they ignored them. I tried to pick moons and planets at one point i made 3 consecutive jumps after another but they were still right on me. I guess i learned a real good lesson. Sometimes i wish there was a way to temporarily shut off PvP. I came back to eve because i thought the new patch was going to be cool and i still had a battleship from eons ago. I don't have anything but a shuttle now and since my insurance had expired because i just came back and didnt have time to get enough cash for it. My luck must have ran out. thats part of the game, im just going to have to be real cautious in .4 systems from now on. That was my biggest mistake thinking i was relatively safe. also i guess the gate guns are worthless

yes ive followed warp-trails to follow a target, the best thing you could hvae done is to place a bookmark in one of your warp tunnels, then when you drop out of warp, warp back to this point and they wont be able to find you for a while.

Use the f11 menu and have you're next destination ready to go as soon as you begin to slow down. Hop across the solar system a few times rather than to bodies around a single planet. Eventually you'll catch a breather for a few minutes at least when you stop mid-jump. Enough time to log out and start playing with your scouting/bm laying alt. The cheapness of that tactic is such an unparallelled joy to me. I plan to exploit it and other logoff exploits interminably until it is officially declared an exploit and summarilly eliminated.
And for tracking someone using the same tactics, each member of the gang following a warp trail should have a prearranged rubric of what orbiting object(s) each of them should scout.

What? since when do 0.0 station sentries shoot you for attacking other people? ;)
