Yesterday I lost a T3 in what was quite a funny 60 minutes. To cut a long story short, a wormhole collapsed as myself and a friend entered it.
Now on to the reason for the topic:
Wormhole leads to a class 1 so obviously can only enter with ships no bigger than Battle Cruisers.
Im in a unplated proteus, friends in a drake.
1. Wormhole states that not enough mass has passed through to test its stability
2. Wormholes rings are slow and steady and not fast as if its going to close any second.
If you don't check the above 2 points then you don't deserve to come out alive these are the core rules of WH Exploration.
So you can imagine our reaction when the WH closes. Good job my mate had some probes onboard. Or so you'd think....
We find an exit, an exit 25 jumps from home and 8 null sec system to pass through. So we head on in Im scouting ahead as Ive a cov op cloak.
3 jumps in and warp bubbles we both die to about 15 guys in a fleet.
Before I died an Ares managed to lock me in the time it took to come of the jumpgate cloak and myself activate my cloak.
I believe there to be lag on my end but non on his? How can he have seen me and locked me in less than 0.25 seconds?
The WH was showing as stable in every way shape and form. That Ares shouldn't have even got the lock, Nobody at all can notice a ship uncloak and then lock it in 1 quarter of a second.
Also Im getting alot of LAG after this patch especially in the PI orbital stations

@Chryseii Im not slow to cloak, I watch for the exact moment I can hit cloak and my mouse is over the icon ready like I'm sure you all do? A normal reaction time for a fit human is 0.25 seconds only fighter pilots and F1 drivers have around a 0.1 reaction time. That Eres pilot locked me in crazy fast time.
@Cipher Jones, dude read my posts in a mature manner and post in the same way please. You made yourself look childish with your epic noob post.
I believe the last patch to have messed "something" up. I'm lagging now and I never used to. My router is still syncing at 23 megabit down and 1.5 megabit up. Ive no virus or mal/spyware.
Nothing has changed on my PC at all. Also This is the only game that has recently updated.
I've no trouble with getting owned by a fleet or losing a T3. My issue which I've petitioned is that the hole should not have collapsed yet CCP are telling me that they do "JUST" collapse even when the hole stated :
"Probably won't last another day" - This is the wormhole's main life, and has over 25% of it's total time remaining.
"Has not yet had its stability significantly disrupted" - This indicates the wormhole is still quite stable, and has over 45% of its total allowable mass left.
It then closed when we passed through it. An unplated T3 and a BC is not 45% of 1 billion KG mass? [ Class 1 holw ]
The above are actual quotes from evelopedia so Im having problems in who to believe. Evelopedia seem to back up my case yet CCP dont seem to want to budge on the fact that this hole indeed shouldnt have closed.
I believe this to be a bug and am waiting to hear from a senior GM.
The isk isnt the problem I can afford another T3 numerous times ove,r my point is that that WH didnt behave like it info stated! This might lead alot of people into WH space only to get lost or have to SD. However I would like to be reimbursed as it was a fully faction fit T2 rigged T3 I also lost 250,000 SP on my lvl5 defensive subsystem all for what im 100% sure was a bug.

Please quote me where I said It should have 100% stability left?
You fail.

My apologies to all who think I took a BS through, No It was a T3 and a drake.
I'm not new to WHs I do quite alot of WH sites this is why is shocked me that a hole that was stable according to the info the hole was giving, closed on us.
Yes we could have explored 0.0 but Im unsure on rescanning a WH to get back?
On seconds thought however yes we should have scanned for a different exit but It DID lead to high sec Gal space. However the only way to our home was through 7 or 8 nul sec systems. Really I should have waited for the next days DT and ran for my life through 0.0 early GMT time.
I still stick with my statement though, The hole should not have closed all the signs were to both of us reading stable. Info gave the same impression.

Learn to read?
This topic isn't about lost ships at all and never has been I simply stated what ship I had lost due to the WH closing when it shouldn't have. Its you who latched onto the idea I'm moaning about losing a T3.
When I simply am not.

Touche
As much as your correct, If the WH was giving correct information I wouldn't have got lost in WH space therefore the sequence of events which unfolded because of the WH not doing as it stated within its own information would have been different.
If the WH was giving proper correct information It would not have closed therefore not standing me 25 jumps from home and 8 null secs or so to pass through.
I realise the options I took led myself to being killed, Either way I had no option but to travel through 0.0 because of the WH collapse. |
