Drop 40 odd cargo containers by a gate, sit In a permatanking Rokh and run a Large smartbomb 2 while hapless pilots lag out and get popped while you take a dump, watch ****, do your school homework etc..
Then post kill mail and claim the glory.
I mean seriously, what's the point

That wasn't a rhetorical question. To repeat...
Seriously, what is the point of that.
Explain please

Haha
Good answer.
I can take a ship loss on the chin, I'm just genuinely confused about AFK killmails.
Is this a tactic to make a toon look badder or something?

You aren't understanding my question.
What does a player have to gain from employing such tactic, apart from the lols.
I'm not whinging,
I'm curious.
Say something interesting

Thanks spank for that. I'm wiser now.
As it goes, I knew I was pushing my luck in that system. I've simply never encountered this tactic before. I was jumping out and the cans did lag me up, as it did to a few of my gang. Oddly, some got through. Probably the ones with the better connection.
Sure, maybe he wasn't afk, not sure what difference that makes. It still seemed like lag was being exploited. Hell, I might even try it myself.
And listen guys, not everybody who posts is a crybaby. Some of us are men.
Again, thanks for a intelligent reply

I'm over it, business has been good. I'm just not so up on eve exploits. I'm sure there are many more.
The thing about learning the hard way is that you only have to learn it the once.

Well, maybe I was quick to call 'AFK'. Although, in the system in question there was a very active gatecamp by his corp on the other gate, so this toon was safe from harm. Possibly an alt afk'ing the backdoor.
The gate WAS spammed with cans, that's for sure, and that did lag everyone up.
I've not encountered this tactic before. From someone who does L4's in a T1 cruiser for the craic this tactic just seems as dull as mining. Maybe he is a miner at heart but is to ashamed to admit it!
Marks for ingenuity, it just seems a lazy way to play the game.
Personally, I think that tactic is beneath me. But so what, horses for courses.

And while I'm thinking again about it, it's the fact that this toon thought his kill was worthy of a killboard that prompted my forum post. I'd have more self respect than that. But that's me.
Just didn't see the point.
Who gives a toss anyway?

Nope, just interested in how people play the game. It's a big universe son.
