So you need to align and cloak in one swift motion basically, to give them no time to click on you. A little bad luck and latency will get you killed though... Unless this a new thing implemented while I've been away from the game, I am 100% sure that it is not the case. What I thing probably happened here is the op waited for the ship to visually fully decloak on his screen before trying to turn on cloaking. That means he was uncloaked and targetable for several seconds before attempting to cloak. That's enough time to get locked. You have to doubleclick to start moving, and then hit the cloak right away. Originally by: CCP Wrangler We are pleased to aim! Or was that the other way around?

Yeah, Larkonis gave a perfect description of the proper maneuver in that situation. There's not much not add. Originally by: CCP Wrangler We are pleased to aim! Or was that the other way around?

Ha ha ha! This is the guy/corp who killed me. 3 years ago he would have been killing you in high sec instead. Be happy. Originally by: CCP Wrangler We are pleased to aim!

The other day we had something like 5 webs on a Deimos as he uncloaked, but with his initial momentum from MWD he made it back to gate just in time. I was able to do it in a Tempest with a 15ish member gatecamp a few weeks back also, with the heavier mass, the momentum is greater so you don't slow down as quickly from the webs. So MWD back to gate is an option for anybody with a MWD really. Ha ha... Nice idea, but... As soon as they (insta-)locked me, they used (one or more) 500W Infectious Power System Malfunction. So I literally went from full cap to zero cap within seconds. So, you can probably forget about "MWD back to gate", unless you are dealing with relatively weak gate campers. It certainly wouldn't work with these guys (Le Skunk, et al.). Doesn't matter. By the time you get to a second cycle of the mwd you'd be webbed anyway. It's the momemtum from that first pulse of the mwd that will get you there (on many ships, but not all), and there's no way they can prevent you from that.

Have you ever played a FPS when the server is based on a different continent? Generally, that is a distinct disadvantage, rather than an advantage. Note: I'm not saying my ship got blown up due to latency. I'm just finding it very amusing how many of you swear by elite clicking and insist that latency is a complete non-issue. (I think that point of view is quite ignorant.) We swear by it, because we've done it successfully many, many, many times. And under much worse conditions, at that. Assuming you're not a troll, I'm absolutely convinced the delay was because you waited for your ship to visually decloak on your screen before hitting cloak (a common beginner's mistake).

Posted - 2010.01.03 10:44:00 - [7] Edited by: Reem Fairchild on 03/01/2010 10:44:33 "Can I have your stuf?" is indeed the only suitable reply to the OP left at this point, since he refuses to accept any useful responses at all. Understand, Milana, that we wouldn't have replied to the thread at all if we weren't genuinely trying to help you. If you have any brains at all, you will go back and read Larkonis' excellent post on the first page and then go practice that maneuver in high sec until you have it down right. Originally by: Akita T this whole game is just me playing with myself
